    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.

    @Heartshackles 5 месяцев назад +11

    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 😊

    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'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.

    @mike20451 5 месяцев назад

    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 😅

    @emmalouise6597 5 месяцев назад

    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 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.

    Years ago I rehoused my H-mac it went well, however I noticed the new water dish was empty. The spider was in a safe corner and i decided I'll add the water, that thing was so fast it teleport-ed up my arm. My brain said make like a tree - freeze. My tarantula decided it did not like the human tree and ran around my neck and down my leg and took cover in between my storage crates. I had to chase it around the living room for about 10 minutes happy ending. Tip for new keeper's if it's a fast species allow it to settle for a few hours until you open that door for water or do anything else in there.

    You could also just look at the enclosure using those thermal reading scopes/goggles/binoculars/cameras or whatever that measure the heat so the spider would be clearly evident(im prettysure), should u ever get to that level of desperation from not being able to "find" the spiders in their enclosures.. hahaha 😂👍

    @celsteer941 5 месяцев назад

    I imagine the reason they don't let captive ones be traded is because if that was allowed, people would sell wild ones as captive (or find a way) therefore putting a straight ban hopefully fully stops the decline until the species is in a better position. Sucks but it has to be done i guess?
    EDIT: I do also agree with your point that captive breeding would also help the species, it's a tough one. TDLR: Some people suck in this world.
