Where do you get that good as Moss because when I get green moss it doesn't look like that it just looks like cut up yarn
what plant are you using? Is that Purslane?
I just attended my first reptile expo today. I spent so much time looking at all the spiders and wanted to get all the jumping spiders so bad.
But I decided to start small, really small. I got isopods, rubber ducky and giant yellow spots. Plus a batch of spring tails to keep everything clean.
Soon I will be overrun, I just know it.
My 4 year old son waits for Bowser Breaks in every video. He dressed up as a turtle the other day and was running around making the bitey noise you use every time Bowser eats. Bowser is a huge celebrity in our house ❤️
That's soooo sweet, I needed that, thank you for sharing!
I was just thinking that this would be great to watch with kids! I don’t let my daughter use social media but we can watch this together!
Your son sounds ADORABLE. 🥰
The way Miss Wolf jumped and ran, I could practically hear her shouting "Ah! Ew, it touched me!"
The wolf spider enclosure is my favorite. It's like an enchanted forest find. If it's a female, she should gave an elven name.
Thank u!! Wish I had some mushrooms for it. Like brown ones
Maybe she's a Galadriel
@@tarantulakatHow do you keep spiderwood in enclosures mold free?
@ I have actually seen it mold and then clear up almost like a tank that cycles. Springtails help. But sometimes (if it’s only a little) just give it time and it will actually clear up on its own
@tarantulakat Oh my.. didn't know it can clear up on its own, that's good to know. Spiderwood is sexy!
When bowser got his mouse, the fish came over, and bowser jumped at him LOL
Kat coming through with the content when we need the joy most. Thank you so much for this.
*P.S.:* not the fish coming to see what Bowser had 😭
♥️ fishie got werms too
I recently found a rather unusual wolf spider that I and many others(including my arachnid biology professor) have had a lot of trouble identifying. It’s fairly small and almost solid black, with no visible pattern but a bit of brown on the parts of its legs close to its body. Its abdomen is almost shimmery, akin to silk. We know for sure based on body shape and eye placement that it’s some kind of wolf spider, but appearance and temperament wise it just doesn’t match any that any of us know of, especially none known to be in the area, that being Stillwater, Oklahoma. So far the best idea we have is that it could be a melanistic/equivalent Carolina wolf spider, but that doesn’t quite explain its shape, or… Personality. Also, we think it’s a male, but aren’t positive.
It’s EXTREMELY aggressive: threat poses at everyone, tries to strike through the sides of its current terrarium, runs out from hiding at the slightest movement with fangs at the ready. The display is kinda impressive to watch. It even envenomated my lanyard(bit it and left two conspicuous wet spots where the fangs went through) when I caught it(very glad I used the lanyard to nudge it instead of my hand), and bit the hell out of an unfortunate classmate yesterday. He was given ample warning that this spider was extra spicy, but he works with centipedes and was just really interested in seeing it up close out of the container. Today he reported the three bites he got were very mild; he was nonetheless impressed by its audacity, considering even the OBTs he regularly works with haven’t so readily bitten him.
I nicknamed the spider Wriggley because when I found it in a parking lot, the only sort of container I had to capture it in was an old Wriggley’s Juicy Fruit gum box I’d forgotten to throw away for like two months. It’s also been suggested the spider instead be called Carolina Reaper, to really capture its spicy temperament and also because possible Carolina wolf spider is the closest thing we have to knowing what manner of eight legged beast I’ve found.
If this sounds like anything anyone here has heard of in the hobby, or if someone could point me toward a person who might know more, I’d appreciate it! As would several others in my arachnid biology class. We’re all enamored by this cranky mystery beast of the spider variety.
Replying hoping to be brought back to this thread if anyone comes up with anything. Super interested
Have you checked if it is the Eastern Parsons Spider? They are near full black in most cases and similar shape they can be aggressive. I have kept them successfully.
@@AShoreThing Just took a look, no. It doesn’t have the wolf spider shape. Again, we’re certain it’s some kind of wolf spider. Wish there was a way for me to send pictures…
Update on this: I got a nice video of it and have uploaded it to my channel as a short, if anyone would be able to share it around to hopefully figure out what's up with this spider I'd really appreciate it!
Could it be a pardosa groenlandica? We have those as a native species and they're all black. Google shows some of them can be less black but the ones I've grown up seeing have always been pitch black. Very bolty, very mad lol
Question! Do you think the rainbow glitter background is kind of enriching for jumpers with those big ole eyes? I'd imagine its fun to look at for them!
Love you, Kat. Keep teaching people to love the unloved!
I loved the fish come lurking like: "Are you gonna eat that? Because if not I..."
"IM TOTALLY GONNA EAT IT!!!" And Bowser taking the whole mouse in instantly😂😂😂 5:50
I can hear the rain outside my window, and it's really giving the atmosphere.
I’m still thankful that Charlotte is still outside my front porch! Last week on Halloween, she made a badass web!
What a pretty wolf spider! She's so big and I'm glad she's not dead.
Gosh I miss my snapping turtle minky so much, I had her for years she was my baby and when she got larger I made an outside enclosure for her. Ironically one night that a neighbor who had been complaining about one of our small trees, a branch off of her massive tree which took up literally half of the neighborhood fell into our backyard and destroyed her enclosure. She was nowhere to be found but we lived close to a Greenway with a creek so I'm just thinking she's living out her best life down there.
I think Wolf Soiders are some of the best to keep. They are so active, fun to feed, and have such expressive faces like jumping
I have a large female,she’s been in hiding for a while now,she’s an adult,but I think she’s going into hibernation,as her species hibernate in the winter. I did find a male and tried to pair her,but she wasn’t having any of it,another sign she was already bred.
Your Wolf spider can easily double in size. We used to live in an area where there were tons. We saw a Wolf once and the body alone was the size of a standard hummingbird.
Absolutely adorable coffin enclosure.
Beautiful spoods. Rain is also a sign of renewal. Not always a bad thing. You can't have life without rain and I find the sound relaxing. Absolutely, love the wolfie and her little yellow tipped legs.
That coffin enclosure looks gorgeous and it goes well with your jumping spider.
the set ups are adorable and man, that wolf is big! but also really cute. hope you and your family are enjoying the new house!
The first enclosure is so cute haha
My 2 hogna Carolinensis matured into males! They are beautiful 😍 love wolfies
been a minute since I've checked out your channel, so happy to see you still doing your thing!
The enclosure looked so pretty ❤❤
Awww I love that colorful coffin cage! Great video!!!
Kat, imma need you to keep posting as your videos are the only joy I am getting in my life now after this election.
🫶 ik it sucks 😭
OMG these cute lil jumpers make me go batty!

Got my first tarantula cribs enclosure, I couldn't resist this design 😍
LOVE the lighting here!

I love your gone batty enclosures. I wish you could get them in the uk 😢 kindest regards, Joanne 🐺
both very nice enclosures, Ms. Wolf is big and scary
Hognas and Rabidosas in TN get sooo big. And so fast!
Nice video. Enclosures are beautiful. Cute spiders.
thank u! 🙏
What gorgeous spiders Kat n luv the enclosures..
Have you ever considered doing longer videos? I really would enjoy these
Not sure if theres multiple species of wolf spiders with those markings(yellow legs) but definitely reminds me of a hogna maderiana!
I'm new here and already in love with Bowser!!
Bowser looks like to be around Roomba sized ? have you ever tried out clams i would suspect that something that he'd like.
Wolf spiders are so cool. We have a lot in our area and they get HUGE!!
Your hair is really pretty in this video
My 3 cm (leg span) Grammostola pulchra sling, disappeard underground for 5 months. She emerged one day as if nothing ever happened. o.o
Hey Kat! Great video 😁 the wolf spider in this video is a Hogna maderiana, I believe you got another sling in a recent unboxing?? Stunning and from the pedipalps I believe it’s a male 😁
Thank you!! I was wondering lol. I forgot
I have a ton of Wolf spiders in my yard & they’re always under ground
I missed bowser breaks thanks for bringing it back and love the enclosures
I just realized you're in stl. I'm in a surrounding town. The world can be a tiny place, sometimes. Love your videos and have been watching you a few years, now. My apartment gets sprayed each month, so I'm unable to have a tarantula or spider, sad to say.
I have a sapphire colbalt, I couldn't find her for a hot min. I panicked. Picked up her closure she is always there. I looked and I saw a puddle of water, I panicked again. Removed all of her substrate, I looked everywhere, I even walked through the house just in case. Low and behold jumped out of the dirt that I was trying to find her, I rehomed her for about twenty minutes. I messed up all her hard work. I was glad I found her. When I put her back into her original house. The next day I came down and she had rebuilt everything but better. I could see her better too.
Tarantula cat I have a white wolf spider too I didn't know that they borrowed themselves also when I was looking for mine it was buried and I have mine since it was a baby now it's kind of like a nice size I don't know if it's a male or female yet because I can't see I can't see if it got the hooks because the shed or too small but if I have a male it would be cool to mate them
Bowser has gotten so big! 😍
Love bowser ❤ He's so cute
Bowser breaks are my fave
Looove wolf spiders❤❤❤
Nice rehousing
I love jumping spider's !
I love the tattoos
When do the preorders ship?? Looking forward to it!
I'm curious why you changed up the substrate dor the wold spider when she was doing great underground before. Wont she have a harder time in moist dirt? I'm genuinely asking. Absolutely love both enclosures especially the jumping spider ❤
Can you explain their hunting and behavioral and where they come from naturally.and how long do they live for??
Wolf spiders are soooooooo quick.
I can't wait to get my gone batty enclosure
I believe i can get mopani wood locally in south Africa, just unfortunate i live in a house that doesn't really want a pet spider or tarantula
Yaaaay, Bowser break!
I need that enclosure so bad and I don't keep!
Precious spood❤❤❤❤
Bowser is getting big if you could only tame him that'll be nice love your videos
ty! he is pretty chill when he is out of water lol. in water he thinks he’s being fed and very snappy
I want to start a UA-cam channel with ny son and our tarantulas but im so self conscious in my ny voice and how i look i barely even take pics of myself with my kids. any advice cus u seems so confident and ur so pretty and knowledgeable i have a Instagram with pics of my wolfdog snd tarantulas. But im afraid no one will watch cus how i look and sound
Hey, you don’t have to worry about how you sound and look it is the content that is important! I have very little confidence as I lost my right leg I rarely leave the house, I have put on tons of weight since I have been recovering and I am finding it hard to lose because exercise is so hard! My doctor told me to sit in front of a mirror and talk about what I hate, I do this a few times a month and it becomes easier because these things cannot be changed, please try it and stop being so hard on yourself you need to push yourself so your son can see how you overcome difficult situations, do it for him I know I would watch your channel because of my love of tarantulas, so definitely try it and if you could let me know how to find your channel i can honestly tell you that I will sit and watch every video! ❤
@Hayley0412 I appreciate that thank u.
@@terra4na330please send me your channel name once you are up and ready as I would love to watch your channel! ❤
@Hayley0412 I will, for now I just have a Instagram if u want that
Great video
That's crazy yours is like gray and orange mine's is black and white
That wolf is a hogna maderiana right? The one you got last year?
I love the coffin and I have order one through achnospace
She a a beaty❤
What kind of plant was that? I love the look of it and want to find one!
It looks like a small leafed pilea. Maybe Pilea glauca in particular. Another plant that looks similar and is a succulent and would tolerate a dry terrarium is "elephant bush" aka Portulacaria afra.
Love cutie spoody ❤❤❤
Cute hides❤❤❤🎉
What kind of substrate do you use for your jumping spiders? I can't keep plants alive, and I am afraid of mold. Do you have any suggestions for those particular issues?
Amazing spiders
Wait. Who is in with Bowser!? Did I imagine that!?
Watching from India ❤ would you happen to know any species that wld strive here ? The sandy and hot climate alongside the pollution makes it soo hard for me to find spiders here…….really want to keep one but don’t know where to start
Love ur videos ❤❤
Was that wolfie the Hogna Miami?
No I forgot the species 😬
For the jumping spider enclosure, is that amount of substrit (hehehe, Richard) enough for that plant? I’d love to start using live plants for some of my spiders, but idk how much they actually need to thrive.
The planting depth for each plant varies, more substrate would allow the plant to thrive and grow bigger but it'll likely survive in this because it has space to pan out the roots across the entire soil.
Not sure if you want any advice, so feel free to skip reading if you don't!
There is very many types of plants, so I would just note three things before looking into plants for your spiders. How dry or moist is the environment? How much light would the plant get? Is there any natural light, is a plant light possible? And, depending on what kind of spider you have, is the plant safe for the spider, or a falling hazard for a heavy spider. There is many plants that can exist in dry and quite dark environments and "harsh" conditions, but just bear in mind no plant can exist with 0 light and 0 water ultimately. You could experiment with small baby plants. Keep in mind to ask the place you are acquiring the plants from if they use pesticides! I would quarantine the plants before using them, or wash them thoroughly including the roots to minimize the chance of pests.
I Am NOT into Arachnids or BUGGS! But I AM into people who Love Living Things and Creatures, Like You!
Living Things Interest me Though! I Adore Felines! ANTs Are Fascinatining.. But Spiders Frighten me, but are Really Cool All the Same. I think that they are Beautiful creatures! I got bit by sommething in my sleep a few monthes ago,, My leg swelled up and found it difficult to walk.. I Shoula gone to the docter, but I didnt. And it went away.. Maye it was a Recluse, or someting else? The Mark is Still there, after more than a half year!
The spiders don't get bored in their enclosures?
Perfect 👌 ❤
First comment awesome video Kat you rock and happy Wednesday I love seeing all of your amazing pets 💪💯👍👍💯💪
Perch wanted a piece of thar mouse.
Bowser not keen on sharing
Lol even the Magnets are black!
Dose tarantula cribs ship to the uk??
bowser so cute
Do you own a Seladonia tarantula?
Why is it I can hold a pink toe tarantula that’s bigger than the wolf spider and find it perfectly ok? Yet I wouldn’t want the wolf spider anywhere near me. Why is that?
I like donuts
Can u PLEASEEEEEE say how to tell the difference between male and female jumping spiders
Most accurate is a molt but in females, the pedipalps are thin and straight, while in males, they are bulbous and resemble boxing gloves.
The colors can be different as well between male and female
She’s hogna maderiana
Hey i have a trapdoor, does anyone know what habitats would be good. I know the website does a lot of different ones but its so hard to choose.
❤❤❤
Hii : )
