Hi Tarantula, was thinking about getting a tarantula, have a aquarium, cat, plus a few plants dont want to over due it
What other spiders does he have available
@@rioncitylife1917 your giving your tarantula an aquarium and a car 🚗 ? 🤣😂 💀 😭 🤣😂
@@fuzzy_mates.christopher.8129 lol, ment to put cat not car, lol
@@rioncitylife1917 🤣 👌
I love how you're terrified of the spiders, but still so into them & concerned for them.
I feel like everyone in the hobby is a little afraid from what I've seen of other owners, too. It's good though. A healthy fear and respect.
@@kausha7135 I would be terrified haha
I don't think she's terrified I think she's suprised
I think she's only terrified in the way you are if you're handling an antique vase... only the vase is alive and wants to run and jump.
Lmfao "the one I said I was too afraid to get, but he ignored me and sent it anyway" 😂😂😂
That’s what friends are for! 🤣🤣🤣
@@cottoncandydoll9705 ...
No one:
Huntsman: you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round right round
I was singing that too lol
Proper tune ;-)
Best. Comment. Ever.
Huntsman spiders are the greatest! I would love to see a video on the one that cartwheels (Africa).
When it opens with Kat screaming 😱 “oh no!!” you know it’s going to be good 👍
a MESS
My sound is so loud lol!
@@tarantulakat Have you ever got one of the Chinese Hourglass spiders? Apparently they’re in the trapdoor family, keeping the burrow blocked with the females abdomen lol 😂
Kat's reaction to receiving a box of spiders in the mail is the polar opposite of my reaction to receiving a box of spiders in the mail. My feed sent me here, but now I am too fascinated to look away!
spiders when they are in my house make me very uncomfortable, but now all of a sudden (more than a few months ago) I have one that lives with me, in my bedroom😁 of course tarantulas don't really make me as uncomfortable as true spiders and I'm very used to him now (he's a curly hair)
I used to have severe arachnophobia but it's amazing how watching people passionate about these beautiful creatures can truly change your mindset. In fact I am hoping to get my first pet tarantula tomorrow. Pretty hyped and I literally never thought I would ever say that.
@@daishoga Wow! That's exciting. I hope that you enjoy your new friend, and I suspect it will be the first of many 🙂
It is just unreal how I have gone from freaking out and screaming when I see a spider to actually staying calm to observe it. I even saved a huge wolf spider that was in my basement. I got him in a cup and took him outside!!! Progress!!!
Been there, good job! But If only we approached people the same way more oftern.
I agree with the statement of “If you want an animal that you’re going to see and know it’s alive. Don’t get a trapdoor spider.” The same thing should be applied to hermit crabs too. If you want an animal that you can see and know it’s alive and isn’t burrowed underground 90% of the time for molting, and want an animal you can hold and form a relationship with, don’t get hermit crabs. A lot of people of in the hermit crab community have a “hands off” approach. They want people to leave them alone. Even people who are new to owning crabs have been told by experienced crabbers that crabs are hands off. They don’t want people to handle them or take them out of their tanks.
Vampire crabs too lol
And lots of arboreal tarantula species lol... so funny, why do they need such bright and beautiful colors if they just hide in tree hollows all the time?
So, they're appropriately named, is what you're getting at?
I would say the same as ⏃ goldfish but you can see them everyday and kinda touch them 👍🏻
Camel spiders are one of the ones I've been considering owning just to try and curb my phobia, but seeing you get them is just as helpful haha. It's really great the difference in feeling something gives you when someone is fawning over it instead of playing creepy music or treating them like jump scares
That’s how I feel about jumping spiders! I found a wild one roaming my house and now he’s a resident I let wander to eat flies lol
Lucas the spider is a spider phobia cure in itself
Camel spiders are very cool. They can move very quickly when they want to, but are generally pretty laid back. They do have Extremely powerful mandible. Sandy or dry clay is perfect for them as it's the type of earth they are used to in the Middle East.
I killed 3 of them this summer....didnt realize they were in Central Idaho....they call them wind scorpions up here...they come in the house from late July till mid August every year.....I was tripping cause I thought they were only in Afghanistan...
Tom's huntsman footage was amazing! Watching it make its burrow was incredible
Yes good thing he sent me that because mine finally just made her burrow last night and I missed the whole thing
@@tarantulakat aww no!
@@tarantulakat /0_0\
I honestly would have never thought that camel spiders could climb slick surfaces like that
They have little suction cups on the bottom of their feet. They're made for it lol (they even use their front two feet to trap prey using those suction cups)
I've seen a pic of a large one on a wall
Camel spiders are enough to scare a fully grown man that’s a soldier
@@littlehowler450 Yeah we used to see those creepy little guys in Iraq all the time, they're really something else, not quite a spider, not quite a giant cricket, they're fast too.
@@stevepalpatine2828 scary
"AAH OH FU-"
♡ happy family friendly music while struggling ♡
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I heard a non family friendly word........
I really love that you both clearly love them and do NOT want them running all up on you and are open about that. That's just how I feel about them so it's kinda comforting to know the NOPE NOPE reflex sometimes is normal and it doesn't mean you love them any less. XD
I don’t know if you have time to read all of your comments, but in case you do…I was terrified of spiders and started to become more comfortable after watching your videos. I actually caught two jumping spiders this week and have them set up in small enclosures now. One is a tan and the other a bold. Tomorrow I am going to go pick up my first velvet spider, a E. walckenaeri. I can’t thank you enough for helping me face and get over my fear! You are awesome!
I live in Australia, where we have a million huntsmans! And I often tell people, I like spiders, but I am terrified of huntsmans. They're so unpredictable and fast it freaks me out! I've dealt with hundreds of them in my home and I would happily deal with any other spider.
Yo is it true that there the biggest spiders you guys have? My worst fear is the Sydney spider, just because of the burrows
@@flimsyenthusiasm5769 I believe the biggest Aussie spider is the Queensland Whistling Tarantula which is from the same family as the Goliath spider found in South America (which is the biggest in the world I believe). But hunstmans here can get bigger than your palm.
Yeah the Sydney funnel-web is nasty. They are recognised as a fatally venomous spider here, but on record no-one has died since the 80s from a bite. Here in Sydney we are actually encouraged to collect them (if safe to do so) and take them to the Australian Reptile Park for anti-venom collection. They are milked and then released back into the wild.
We have camel spiders here in Arizona and during monsoon season I see them a lot in my front yard and believe me they are fast AF!!! 💨 lol 😂
did not know they move so fast!! Used to seeing them like half alive smh
As an air plant owner, I need to tell you that they need a lot of humidity and air movement. They're going to rot if they stay in that enclosure
i appreciate that even you get jump scared by just how insanely FAST these mofos are
Ha ha, loved the Nintendo title puns.
Also love how the camel spider was like, "Ok, I guess I'll go in here- PSYCHE!" to Kat at 9:34.
The video of the huntsman burrowing was amazing, thank you!
Solifugids I caught in the Arizona desert were lightning fast and super acrobatic. When you opened your black one, I thought "This is not the solifugid I know." Then, when you opened the next one, I'm all, "Yep."
I've gone from burn the house down if you see a spider to understanding them better and being able to watch videos. Thanks, Kat. 😀😀👍💛
I live in the AZ desert where camel spiders are common. They are absolutely super fast and fairly terrifying. Aggressive. They will come at you and take you down! We captured one years ago and fed it a millworm (I think that's what it's called). That spider latched onto on end of the worm and proceeded to spin - like a crocodile "death spin" and opened it up like a tin can then "sucked" it dry. I know I'm getting a lot of my terminology wrong n such, but you get the idea. Been scared of these little dudes ever since.
sweet that’s metal as heck
I just want you to know the fact that you're not immune to your own spiders jump scaring you makes me smile.
I really enjoy your content, it comes across as very honest and fun.
I am not exactly the most fond of spiders, aside from the native jumping spiders, but the love and care you give them is infectious.
(Girl I don't know how you dealt with centipedes though, I can't be within a foot of those things no matter how small they are without goosebumps breaking out all over my body.)
That "Muted for family friendly content" > tomorrow I am picking up a C.sp.electric blue and C.sp.Vietnam blue both confirmed females. I think I will use all swear words known to humanity and beyond while rehousing. Chilobrachys is my favorite genus and I have many but rehousing e.g. OBT is a walk in the park.
how did the rehousing go ??
@@teabird6968 Not that bad at the end. I have many different Chilobrachys species so I was prepared but it is always an adventure. The sp. electric blue is so gorgeous!
i feel you... lol once you had this "AAAAAAHHHH"-moment while unboxing with one animal it never leaves you staying cool, untill the rest of them are rehoused...
"[muted for family friendly content]"
Same girl same LOL. 🤣❤
I remember the first time I saw a camel spider, it was my hometown in California. We initially thought it was a scorpion, but realized it was a spider. Crazy to see they are hard to get. I used to find 2-3 of them every week in my house during the summer.
11:21 finally I see my spirit animal..an introvert one! yess
Why is the Egyptian huntsman burrowing the cutest thing I’ve ever seen???? Its one little paw doing all the action at the end 🥹
It's kind of nice to see someone who is used to handling spiders also freak out about the spiders hahaha
Oof. Camel spiders look too much like ants somehow (maybe the elongated abdomen?) for me to be comfortable... The fangs don't really bother me, but the body plan does. Ridiculous, right?! Hahaha! 😅😆 Sorry about the large one, though. That sucks. 😔
I feel u, the 4 fangs don't bother me but when they twitch their lil bodies it's kinda weird lol
I actually like their abdomens, it kind of reminds me of caterpillars, which are my favourite arthropod.
@@jaschabull2365 I _wish_ I could see them as looking like caterpillars! Caterpillars are cool. 😁 I really don't know why they remind me so strongly (and uncomfortably) of ants, but... 🤷🏼♀️ They're still fascinating, though, especially their heads.
@@dorabrooks76
Just curious, what makes you uncomfortable around ants?
@@jaschabull2365 It's a bit of a story. I've never liked them, but originally I just found them annoying rather than it being any discomfort or fear. However, I've always been uncomfortable with _any_ small invertebrate crawling on me- I *really* dislike the sensation. 🤷🏼♀️ Large inverts (giant stick insects, jungle nymphs, ect) are OK, I'm talking anything smaller than a few inches, even inverts I really like or love like spiders; my skin is just overly sensitive to the feeling of little feet moving around. Lol
Then one day when I was around 15 I was helping my mom with her in-home daycare by putting a toddler to bed. I had managed to sing and rock him to sleep, and laid him down in the playpen in my parents' room. I went to close the blinds so he'd sleep better, not knowing there was a nest of carpenter ants in the window frame, hidden by the curtain. When I pulled the string to close the blinds a whole ton (probably 30-40ish) of large ants fell on my hand/arm and shoulder/chest and from there they started crawling all over me, some biting. Plus a bunch with wings flew at my face/head and got in my hair. As I mentioned, I already hated the feeling of small things crawling on me, so to have them all over me, down my shirt, and in my hair... well, it left a lasting impression! It was awful. 😵😱 I ran out of the room already stipping off my shirt to jump in the shower. I'm proud to say I did not scream- I didn't want to wake the toddler up, nor scare the older kids. I did cry, though. 😆
For years after that I was afraid of ants. Through a sort of self-led immersion therapy I've gotten to the point where I don't panic when I see one, but they still creep me out and make me shiver. Frankly, I _do_ still panic if one gets on me, though, and unexpectedly being confronted with one can startle me. If they're outside I'm usually OK, I just avoid them. I know they're tiny and can't really hurt me much (where I live, anyway), but I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable with them again...
Omg I’m not sure I’ve seen anything cuter than that black camel spider. 🥰 and huntsmen are my favorite. Now I have spider fever. 😂
That camel spider is terrifying
!!!!!
I thought I was overcoming my spider fears by watching you, and then freaked out when a spider was on the floor next to my foot. I havent jumped like that in a while, guess I'm really not over it lol
Hey man I still do the same sometimes. It’s okay 🙌🏻
Same, I screamed at the brown recluse that was on my table.
The intros to these last two videos have been *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻🥰
All the warmth and fuzziness I was beginning to feel for spiders fueled by the jumping spider vid was completely eviscerated by this one.
Nice one Kat!!! : ) was entertaining & i know the feeling! lol
You are amazing and I love your channel. Your channel is helping me overcome my fear of spiders and start to see the beauty in them 🤗 thank you
07:27 … boris’ lockdown instructions, you must stay home, eat out to help out, work from home.. go to work 😂😂🤦🏼♀️🤣
I don't think Americans would understand this lmao!
I love camel spiders, I didn't know they came in black! When I first looked into them it was a hard "No these things die in like three months in captivity" so I'm glad more is being learned about their care. Maybe one day I can keep on
Kat: look at it its so cute oh my God
Me: well that's the creepiest looking thing I have ever seen thankyou for the nightmares 😅
The brown Camel Spider is the type we have here in Phx Az. They are fast as hell and aggressive af too. Had one come after me when I was installing a transmission on my bronco one time. Chased me around my truck and I was wearing flip flops. I know I’m late to the party but just found your videos and they are awesome.
Love that the only deaths caused by huntsmans is from them turning up in unexpected places and causing accidents. Also you are right to fear their speed: 40 body lengths per second (cheetahs only manage 16).
Huntsman bebehs are a marvellous thing to have around the house. The don't leave webs anywhere and keep down the populations of pantry moths, silverfish, flies etc.
Coming face to face with a spider-cheetah in Australia taught me that I too can move incredibly fast. 😂
Australian here and researching getting my first tarantula. In terms of huntsmans we have them everywhere. I've had them in the house, the car, the toilet, the verandah, the shed etc.. I reached into my mail box a few months back and pulled the mail out with one on my hand (the mail went flying everywhere). I'm almost 48 and lived my whole life here but don't think I'll ever get used to them. I know they're harmless, but it's just their massive size and speed. However I'm not bothered at the idea of a pet tarantula. I love the ancient old world aspect of the Aussie ones and they have a unique and fascinating beauty about them even though they are also quite intimidating.
Lmaooo I swear I couldn’t stop laughing at your screams at the T Blondi escaping 😂😂😂😂😂
OMG THE CUTE LITTLE SHY CAMEL SPIDER GOING BACK INTO HIS LITTLE TRAVEL BURROW!!! I can't. Too adorable.
this is the first video I see of you, I haven't watched it all but I like your behavior. . you are not an exhibitionist, you do not let the spiders walk on your skin, you are very cautious, you know the species and build good terrariums and use a fairly scientific approach. . congratulations.
I feel like trap doors are like deepsea fish but for land. You never see them but damn, when you do.. .they look badass!!!
The huntsman breakdancing to make a burrow 😂😂
I used to capture and keep Solifugae (albeit smaller than the variety in the middle east). They have an incredibly insatiable appetites and no matter how many bugs I would feed them, they would completely annihilate them in mere seconds. Fascinating species!
I am obsessed with your collection you have spiders I have never even been able to see pictures of your collection is something to be jealous of
Kat, YOU are my hero🙏 I've been watching your videos to get over my arachnophobia..😂😳 Not, sure how im doing but you are what our planet needs 🙏
hahahahaha !! 3:27 "oh fu....." we ALL said it with you, Kat, lol ! That was FAST...
I love watching the way camel spiders eat, they're so cool.
I had a GBB go skittering across my hand when I rehomed it. I was so scared of losing it or hurting it! Thankfully my Grammostola Pulchripes was a good girl and strolled into her new enclosure for me.
The camel spider from the 2nd camel spider rehouse might give Usain Bolt a run for his money. 😂 This is the boltiest rehouse I’ve ever watched. Bless your heart!
Great video as always, Kat!
Awe ya! Congratulations on 100k! Love your videos, keep em coming!
Found your channel today... liked the first video I saw (when our old male tarantula became a coitus smoothie 😔😅) ... my second one... love the realism and utter chaos 😅 ... so real ... subscribed and twitter followed... 🙂
I find it fascinating that Tarantula Kat loves these different arachnids to point of keeping of keeping lots of them yet at same time seems genuinely as terrified of them as your average arachnid phobic woman ( 😱 arghhh oh noooo !! ) lol 😂 that's definition of brave! Only recently started seeing your videos love them ❤ good job x
Its so cute when u get freaked out when ur rehoming ur spiders
I just got some spiders from Tom Patterson this week. Based off of my first experience ordering from him I would say 10/10 would recommend and definitely plan on ordering from him again in the future.
I genuinely feel them crawling down the back of my neck and my spine when I watch this...
So cool though!
the air plants is for sure a nice touch ! Another great vid as always 👌👌
im afraid of spiders,but fascinated by them.Whyat amazing little engineers they are.And your videos are great!
I think huntsman are SO CUTE. As well as wolf spiders and fishing spiders.
They are very fast, but if you catch them while they’re chilling, they’re mesmerizing.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!!!! You obviously care very much about these guys, and I’m fascinated by spiders 🕷 just not enough to have as pets. But it’s so neat to watch your vids about the care and setting up their little houses. But when they escape, ufta they’re fast!!
Hi kat my computer was knackered I'm glad I have you back your goliath tarantula is brilliant 👍👍🌹
I had huntsman spiders guarding my cars every night in Florida when I lived there!
Okay so i live in an area of the PNW in Washington state where it gets desert hot in the summer and really cold in the winter, and i live in the mountains. One time my cat brought one of those camel spiders into my bed and dropped it on my F A C E and I woke up and jumped like 10 feet from my bed to the bathroom without touching the floor lol anyways I called them lobster spiders 'cause I didnt know what they were and now I do lol
When you want to own spiders but your whole family is scared of them 😔
Pro Tipp: annoy them every day. At some point they will give in xD speaking out of experience
@@isabellah558 ooooo that’s sounds like a good idea, ima try it, thank you 😊
@@Melani.Animations let me know if it worked xD
And she is still asking every day...😅
@@severinasaf I am 😭 it hasn’t work yet 😭
I am 38 years old now so this is how long ago it was. I remember it so well. My second grade teacher had brought in one of them huge aluminum tubs one day and said we all are to fix up a sider habitat in the tub. We had dirt on the bottom one live plant that we planted in the tub, rocks, and sticks. We then were told to keep an eye out for spiders on the playground. That same day I discovered a rather large all black jumping spider. It kept on poking its head out of the lip of the all medal slide we had in them days. I remember screaming to the top of my lungs for the teacher. Other class mates found out and all ran to get her. I picked up a dead leaf off the ground to get it to come all the way out. But before the teacher got there the spider took off down the side. I remember jumping down (and I am scared to death of spiders) and scooped the spider up in my hand. When she got to me and found out it was in my hand she told me to run to the class room. She was happy but disappointed I touched the spider without her seeing it first. Since it was our class first spider, and I found it I got to name it. It ended up being Hairy the spider. After a month we ended up with three jumping spiders and one wicked looking spider that made its web in the form of a funnel. I was amazed that none of the spider ever tried to escape and they could very easy if they wanted. Every morning the first thing we did was we had to go outside and find bugs for it to eat, and empty the moth trap by the light outside to feed them. Thinking back to them days I now realize how amazing it was. We had to draw pictures of the spiders, look in books to try and figure out what kind they were, track their feeds and what bugs they liked the best, and learned all about spiders. Now being in elementary we had our class but we had a science class that we would go to once a week. So this was something my normal teacher was not obligated to teach. It was just the teachers love for spiders the reason she did this. I am still scared of spiders today but not near as much as I was. After about two months we came in to an egg sack. After they hatched we let all the spiders go. It was a very sad day in a second grade class in Missouri. Some kids even cried when we all watched them crawl into the school garden area. Just thought I would share that story with you all. Anyone else here ever do something like this in school?
That Camel Spider going through that towel paper has me paranoid.
That screaming Intro is priceles😂😂😂 I'm a subscriber now. Great video
Congratulation for 100.000 subscribers!!! 🎉 Love your videos!
I've been suggesting to petko to get a black camel spider for ages. You have won the internet today.
Hey for the air plants you may want to put then on the cork bark rather than in/on the soil
Kat this video was the most "Jumpy" ever!!! LOL.... You are so great (and brave ) as always
9:32 Oh yes, these things are super fast.
Love your personality! :)
Ok that Huntsman Video was so cute😂😂😂😂
Great vid Kat. Really enjoyed that. The screams in the last couple of videos have been really entertaining. 😂😂
Wait what happened to the large boi you were unsure about?
never perked up, gonna preserve tho 😔
@@tarantulakat Aaw nooo, I'm sorry :(
@@tarantulakat sorry to hear that I was going to ask. Loved this video btw
@@tarantulakat oh no 😞 Sorry to hear that.
@@jennifertingelof-truecrime5890 oh no! Poor little guy! Sorry for your loss!
I love the way you are like the rest of us when spiders run but you love them so much 💖😂
At least that container should significantly cut down on rehouses for the huntsman! Smart! 😁👍🏻 Fantastic footage Tom let you show- how amazing is spiders' silk, eh?!
Yes his footage was amazing. Mine finally made her burrow last night and I missed the whole thing lol
@@tarantulakat Glad that it's settling in! 😄 Bummer you missed the action, though... Hopefully you'll have lots of fun observing it as it hunts! 🤞🏼
We have those here in Yuma, AZ, and they are CRAZY fast. Your videos are so fun to watch😊
Hello great video unboxing and rehousing Kat
Another name for camel spiders is wind scorpion... because they run like the wind. They are fast! We have them out here in San Diego, even the little babies look like impossibly fast speed racers!
Highly entertaining! Thank you!
So glad you got the camel spider. They definitely had a bad reputation and they actually pretty chill. I've had 3 of them atleast and absolutely love having them
Those are some cool spiders! I love the way trap door spiders look...just wish we could see them more than when they are unboxed...lol. Those are some wild species you got there!
I’m addicted to these videos now. I would have died 15 times if that thing got out. Omg. 💀💀💀💀💀💀
New spider day! Neat! Those stickers were badass too.
Oml this is the part of spider and turantula keeping I’d be scared for 😰 This is why you keep your catch cup nearby at all times!
The camel spiders look like scorpions without their tail segments. They are one of the scorpion-spider hybrids of the arachnid family.
I like the tiny setup!! Cute!!
Never seen a burrowing huntsman ...so cool ❤️
I have never seen a black camel spider!! It’s SO cool!!!!
When I was deployed, there were camel spiders everywhere at night. As you drive they scatter out of the light. Super fast and they come out of nowhere.
Hi Kat! I have experience with an adult T. blondi and in comparison to this video it seems that they retain their juvenile speed. Pretty intense 😳. I don't know much about the camel spiders but they are crazy looking! I can't wait to see a feeding video with them. I'm sorry about the casualty 😢. Another great video from my favorite RUclipsr.
Awesome video I love camel spiders and that type of huntman great stuff
That was some VERY COOL footage of the spiders!! Thanks Tom
