Thank ya Tom! Check him out here - hardcorearachnids.com/collections/true-spiders-myg… *NOT sponsored/ affiliated - spiders gifted

I just got out of a relationship with an arachnophobic partner, who was the reason I haven't owned a tarantula despite wanting to for years and years. Since the relationship has ended, I decided to treat myself and order my first tarantulas. You're my favorite tarantula content creator and I chose my species based off your collection (obviously did outside research too). Next week I'll be receiving a g. pulchra, g. pulchrapes, b. hamorii and two mystery beginner species :) Eventually I want to get jumping and velvet spiders too!

Be careful with macrothele gigas, it's venom packs a powerful and potent punch and they are very fast and defensive when fully grown, as a funnel web they generally do burrow but they web a lot and grow quite large but their venom is medically significant.

You helped me get over my phobia of spiders. I found a jumping spider in my garden and bought an enclosure, cholla wood. Still learning about them.

Mr. Tarantula Kat has the most calming voice. He could probably de-escalate any situation. Lol yall are awesome.

Who doesn't love velvet spiders.. they are the cutest spiders. Can't wait to add some species to my collection.

Kat, I never thought you'd get a funnel web species. Just be careful. I've seen Dave deal with those crazy Beasties.

Really wholesome how the mister came in for this video to help with the rehousing! That was such a fun idea, and helps me think I can handle a little spiderling as well

Funnel-webs are great Kat! I live in Australia and have about 9 different species. They're super derpy spiders despite their fearsome reputation!

I’ve had my first tarantula now for about a week thanks to you!! My husband and I love her. We got her from Tom, a G pulchripes juvenile 🥰 we have 3 Italian Greyhounds and 5 chickens… and now 1 tarantula, oh and 1 wild California mantis ootheca we are nursing until spring, lol. She has already eaten multiple crickets and even done quite a bit of happy dancing!!!! Thank you Kat!!!! Watching your videos went from casual entertainment and not really caring for spiders at all (if anything scared of them) to finding spiders fascinating and now having my own!!! This is your doing, Kat!! LOL!!

Always a good day when tarantula kat uploads

ah!! i just got my own wednesday because i just love her so so much. i got a lady bird velvet spider and so far they are SO cute. super glad you’re doing more velvet spider content, i love them ❤️

I just ordered my first velvet spider today so I am loving this content ❤

Lol, I have a wild caught NC funnel web (aka grass spider) she came in my house all hungry, thirsty , and cold so I set up an enclosure from Tarantula Cribs, she ate good then discovered her hide and hasn't come out since she found it😂.

Very cool!! Thank you Kat for introducing me to the Spider-verse. I got my first two Ts earlier this month and I love them so much <3

i also use those same containers I get them at michael's and hobby lobby (you can buy individual sizes at hobby lobby) and I love them i use them for jumping spider slings and i have one in my purse as a container for wild caught species (most are small here) so that its easier to let them out of the house

Really want to get velvet spiders (I'm UK) will get some next year. I did however get my first jumping spider ( Phidippus regius) a month ago and its just molted... It's so cute. Thank you Kat for making me love jumping spiders as well as T's :) x

The Japanese funnel web spider looks very similar to the Australian male mouse spider which has the same type of red markings. I have come across the mouse spider a few times in the outback when they are out searching for a female & the red colouring really grabs your attention.

Kat I just wanted to tell you Thank you for sharing with us. You encouraged me to face my fears and I have. 2 jumpers and 1 Trantula

You are a backseat driver when it comes to Mr. Tarantula Kat rehousing the spiders. Lol
