Extremely grateful to hear about Kat's experiences as a beginner, will make my experience so much lighter when I get my first tarantula in October. Will know to just chill and to observe and let the sling hide as much as it wants
Hi Kat! Just wanted to say thank you for the content that you make. I have spent my whole life with severe, almost crippling arachnophobia. I just moved to a place that is covered with cellar spiders and have been having a very hard time. I’ve decided to start doing exposure therapy, because it really affects me, and I’ve always had a fascination with tarantulas specifically. They don’t make me panic like other types of spiders do. I took the first step and got a few slings from FNT the other day, and your videos are helping me a lot. I did a lot of research prior, and watching your channel was part of that. You are actually helping me learn to respect all spiders and start to work on this. Thank you 😊
While pulling into our driveway this night I had to stop and wait for a desert blond tarantula to cross our driveway. It's mating season here in Tucson and they are out everywhere. We have 5 that live alone our driveway and two in our back yard, we get them every year. I consider them my pets.
P. vittata are my absolute favorite species of Pokie, congrats on getting some of these beauties. My first confirmed female I named Phantasma after Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School; she's also now a proud mother.
We purchased a P.Metallica at the end of last year, was about the size of the ones you just unboxed. So sad, her first molt with us was a bad one that ended in her passing. I love the Poecilotherias.
I love Kat because she represents me 1000%. Seeing Kat being scared of them actually gave me the courage to get my first T's after years thinking about it. I find her very relatable. I almost had a heart attack yesterday and screamed the same way when I was feeding my b. Auratum sling and maybe I blinked too loudly and it bolted... well, it basically teleported 😂 I had no idea the slings could be so skittish 😅
I've been off the tarantula news for a while now and didn't know several pokies are officially classified as threatened or even endangered. I still have my P vittata, as well as few more pokies that are on the endangered list (P met, miranda, smithi). I've all had them for almost a decade now. Maybe I should look into breeding loans around my area.
My friend has several pokies and they're thriving! I've wanted one for ages but never had the guts to actually go out and buy one for myself but having interacted with them so much and seen them (very rarely) wander around their enclosures, they are genuinely so beautiful. I'm only a beginner with old worlds, so I'm playing it safe, but I've had a great experience with my Asian fawn and my OBT so eventually I'm definitely getting a pokie someday. The entire genus is just absolutely gorgeous, maybe one day I'll finally get myself one! I love your lil ghosties, they're so cute 🥰 I would've named them Ghoul and Eerie, but I adore the name Mr Tarantula Kat picked out for the first one
I love watching your videos.. Do you have a video on the Hati Hati Purple Earth Tiger Tarantula? I bought a sling and haven't found a lot of videos on the species..
Personally I would go with Peeves because he was a terrifying nuisance in the books and since they are bolty and cause a we tad anxiety it’s perfect! Haha
Love to be early on your vids I started watching them about a couple months ago And I just became obsessed with your channel been Keeping tarantulas for about 2 years now
I like the way how you carefully open your packages and release your tarantulas into their enclosures. But I know, some of they can jump out have give you a scare!
I ordered a juvenile GBB, she bolted up my arm, and she turned around mid elbow and went right into her enclosure. She has made absolutely beautiful webbing.
I recently got a Poecilotheria metallica sling who is also in a larger enclosure than I would normally put a sling her size in so I don't have to rehome her as frequently lol.
Haunter would be good one. I forget where that’s from. If it’s a girl could use Ember from Danny Phantom or Skulkar, others: Jacob Marley, Blinky(he was a fast one) Pinky, Inky or Clyde from pac man lol. I have a lot of real ghost names too. Like Famous ones. lol.
That's gorgeous yet scary ;_; I love tarantulas so much also I'm baaaaaaack hehe was busy with jobs and stuff just got back onto watching your vids missed ya! I went to the zoo yesterday I saw a Goody Sapphire Tarantula and she is gorgeous!!! I also bought a giant brown tarantula plush that looks like my tarantula Aragogg she is a curly hair :) I also just bought a spider web blanket today and my spider web bedsheets + pillow cases are coming in on Thursday while I get a joltik(pokemon) plush on Wednesday :) Sorry for blabbering just super happy to be back on UA-cam :) I'm gonna be changing my username once my oc is done being drawn XD
Off topic but I love that shirt! Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? I love pokies, but I am not sure if I'll ever be ready to keep one haha.
What are beginner friendly Tarantulas im very interested into spiders and think about getting my first one any tips and ideas about enclosure buying sites or just doing them my self ( what is better glass or plastic ) ? Thanks in Advice for Answers
So i just got my first tarantula a month ago. Ive usually had true spiders(just got a black widow a few weeks ago). But i got a Haitian brown bird eater and whoa is he fast. His name is Murphy and he’s so cute. He just molted last week and his colors are just amazing.
I love my vittata. She's my biggest pokie and absolutely beautiful! But I love all my pokies really lol. Mine have been pretty chill actually. I have 4 and my dream ones are the subfusca lowland and highland.
If you ever need another ghost name, you can use the HP series house ghosts: Nearly-headless Nick, Gray Lady, Bloody Baron, Professor Binns, Fat Friar, Moaning Myrtle, and Peeves.
Remember the scary cereal characters from back in the day like Count Chocula and all that... one of them was a ghost called Boo-berry... I dont know if you found a name yet but Im throwing my hat in with that... because Boo-berry... haha cute name lol even for cereal lol.
I bought 2 baboon ornamentals 1incher man one went in the enclosure fine the other one instant transmission across my living room I found it and placed in the enclosure they are super fast my sapphire ornamentals also went in fast as hell in the enclosure but none bolted as fast as those baboon ornamentals
I think I've come across three maybe four poecilotheria species for sale in Canada and I think the Victoria bug zoo has one or two in their care, but I don't plan on adding any to my own collection any time soon the idea that one would escape on me and I'd have to tell my tribe that a fast 500 $ spider is on the loose is not something I'd want to deal with ever, anyway I'll be unboxing my first centipede and a special surprise next week.
Moin! The enclosures are a little bit to big for them. Juveniles of Poecilotherias like P. metallica for example are a little bit more sensitive than the tarantulas from south america. They need high temperatures and don't like dammed-up water. So, be a little bit careful to them. They could die very quick. They don't forgive small mistakes.
Should have done the names as Oogie & Boogie
I was just thinking that! Oogie and Boogie!
Petition to name them that!
I jumped in my phone just to make mention of this!!!! Nice to know I'm not alone.👻❤
Thisssss.
I was just about to say this, but you already did 😆
Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde! Pac Man ghosts😂
Had same idea
Great idea!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really like this idea, too! So cute! ❤👻
Came to comment this ..I have a A burgessi named inky 😊
Clyde would be so cute
The first ghost name that popped into my head was Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas. They're so small and cute!
Same!
Make the other one Scraps, then, from The Corpse Bride!
Boo from Mario
My vote is for Zero.
the pumpkin in the spider’s enclosure goes perfectly with the name because of zero’s nose
Extremely grateful to hear about Kat's experiences as a beginner, will make my experience so much lighter when I get my first tarantula in October. Will know to just chill and to observe and let the sling hide as much as it wants
And I was totally going to drop the Harry Potter house ghost names but I think they might be too weird :')

I know its gonna be a good video when the opening is Kat screaming 😂
The new additions are so cute! 💛Barbara and Adam from Beetlejuice are kiiiinda ghosts haha, maybe that works for names😂
P. vittata are my absolute favorite species of Pokie, congrats on getting some of these beauties. My first confirmed female I named Phantasma after Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School; she's also now a proud mother.
Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg because ya know... Ghost lol. Hopefully Patrick and Whoopi live long healthy lives!👻
I love how you show not only your animals growth but your own growth having learned and handled so much more over time. Definitely helpful
Spectre ! that was the name of my Orchid Mantis , love your Videos :)
We purchased a P.Metallica at the end of last year, was about the size of the ones you just unboxed. So sad, her first molt with us was a bad one that ended in her passing. I love the Poecilotherias.

Given your theme and obsession with Pokémon I’d say Hunter 😂

I ought to get a few more Poekis. I have a Regalis and a Rufilata and they're both absolute Queens. Captive bred of course.
ive been watching you for years and you really inspired me too get a tarantula so recently i got my first tarantula, a A. geniculata called jingles
Awesome Video Tarantula Kat🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

"You're freeeee!....kinda" XD😂
That second one was surprisingly chill after the way the first one yeeted itself across the enclosure as soon as it had the chance
I absolutely love how you jump n crap yourself when the lil ones move😂😂😂
Full credit to how good u are looking after these lovely animals I for one couldn't only pets I could are the four legged kind
Love ❤️ your new little additions to your collection. Your shirt is amazing! 🖤👻
Hey there! I absolutely love your videos, can I ask where you get your moss from?
Johnny from the Freighters! The big bad guy of the movie! 😊
It's a Boo-Hoo like from Super Mario.. and both are super cute.
Should name them Adam & Barbara to match your sweater. 🤪. Love the pokeys!!

Love to be early on your vids I started watching them about a couple months ago And I just became obsessed with your channel been Keeping tarantulas for about 2 years now
I’ve always wanted one they are just awesome to look at
You should totally take care of a brown widow, they are easy to take care of and very pretty!
I like the way how you carefully open your packages and release your tarantulas into their enclosures. But I know, some of they can jump out have give you a scare!
I ordered a juvenile GBB, she bolted up my arm, and she turned around mid elbow and went right into her enclosure. She has made absolutely beautiful webbing.
OMGGG Kat!! Where did you get that sweater??? I need it 😫
Man I miss my pokies :( My critter room got repurposed for a while but I'll get more someday. Beautiful little slings Kat!! Swayze for the name ;)
I recently got a Poecilotheria metallica sling who is also in a larger enclosure than I would normally put a sling her size in so I don't have to rehome her as frequently lol.
Great video

Marley would be a cute name. The ghost from A Christmas Carol.
YES!!!
I named my Tapinauchenius Rasti "Marley" after Bob Marley knowing he was a Rastafarian. It's a great name
I really wanna get some of these! I have a Regalis and she is the chillest tarantula I own suprisingly!
May I ask where you got your sandworm sweater from?
We need more than just voiceovers from Mr. Tarantula Kat
Ahh! I bought a p. Vittata sling from him this summer!
nearly headless nick
I'm new to your channel and tarantulas in general. I watched about 40 of your videos. I haven't seen anything on the curly haired T. Do you have one?
Beetlejuice! He's back!!!
Does tarantula cribs make arboreal enclosures with an attached water bowl?
I think I’m first
Also turanula kat can you breed jumpers or nah? Or others
Off topic but I love that shirt! Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? I love pokies, but I am not sure if I'll ever be ready to keep one haha.
Babadook was a really scary movie and it would make a great name!
Jacob Marley from Charles Dickens Christmas carol. Or Banquo from Shakespeares Macbeth , Could call him either name 😊
Fusso & Lazo the Ghost uncles from casper would be fun names :)
I believe Emil is one of the progenitors of the US Tarantula Sustainment Project.
For some ghost-themed name ideas: Wraith, Spectre, Grim, Ghoul, Banshee, Voodoo, Hex, Polt or Geist
I really like Banshee and Hex.
Oooo names I'm thinking Pokemon Ghosts! Gengar!
What are beginner friendly Tarantulas im very interested into spiders and think about getting my first one any tips and ideas about enclosure buying sites or just doing them my self ( what is better glass or plastic ) ?
Thanks in Advice for Answers
Do you film in front of a lit window or do you use lights? Your lighting is always great
“Where there’s webbing, there’s a spider” *as my obt webs the entirety of her enclosure*
Hello kat. IM GETTING A B SMITHI NEXT WEEK!!!!!!
Caspers ghost uncles were Fatso, Fusso and Lazo (also known as Stinkie) so they could be good name options 😊
Hello from Sweden! Any livestreams in the future?
So i just got my first tarantula a month ago. Ive usually had true spiders(just got a black widow a few weeks ago). But i got a Haitian brown bird eater and whoa is he fast. His name is Murphy and he’s so cute. He just molted last week and his colors are just amazing.
Skeletor would be a great name! Or Ghostface! 👻💀
I love my vittata. She's my biggest pokie and absolutely beautiful! But I love all my pokies really lol. Mine have been pretty chill actually. I have 4 and my dream ones are the subfusca lowland and highland.
Bell Witch ghost would be cool name.
Speedy and spooky
Maybe five or more would have been a better purchase? To keep them in Missouri tarantula hobby? Breed them for all to enjoy, Kay. Thanks for sharing.
If you ever need another ghost name, you can use the HP series house ghosts: Nearly-headless Nick, Gray Lady, Bloody Baron, Professor Binns, Fat Friar, Moaning Myrtle, and Peeves.
❤❤❤❤I love the cribs
How about Zero like in nightmare before Christmas
I thought the same.
Ghost and Spirit!
Eek! Where did you get the jumper from? I so need it !
Probably not a good spider name, but my favorite ghost is Slimer from Ghostbusters!
I just got my Binx plushie in the mail!!!! ❤ I am sooo happy!!!
Yay!!!!
Beetlejuice
Hairy Scary (From old1980s Casper Halloween cartoon)
Remember the scary cereal characters from back in the day like Count Chocula and all that... one of them was a ghost called Boo-berry... I dont know if you found a name yet but Im throwing my hat in with that... because Boo-berry... haha cute name lol even for cereal lol.

Spooky!
Could you please make a video on how to ship an egg sac? 😊
How the hell do they package them without hurting or losing them
How about Slimer? Like the green ghost from ghostbusters
I NEED to know where your jumper is from!? ❤️
I think I've come across three maybe four poecilotheria species for sale in Canada and I think the Victoria bug zoo has one or two in their care, but I don't plan on adding any to my own collection any time soon the idea that one would escape on me and I'd have to tell my tribe that a fast 500 $ spider is on the loose is not something I'd want to deal with ever, anyway I'll be unboxing my first centipede and a special surprise next week.
