    I have only 2 Ts that took their enclosures as I built them. The others were like "what is this rat's nest? there needs to be a huge pile of dirt and these plants need to be buried and there is a lack of mess in general"

    • @thequidder3747
      @thequidder3747 Před rokem +8

      "There is a lack of mess in general." is the best description of a tarantula's attitude towards a new enclosure that I've ever read.

    This is my first time viewing your channel, sent over from Tarantula Kat for the competition. This is such a hard decision. I love the autumn gothy look of yours but I also love the fairytale forest Kat did. 😭 Curse you both for making me struggle to decide!

  • @LoriCurl
    @LoriCurl Před rokem

    I am new to spiders, Tarantula's, and both channels. Makes me feel I can be unbiased here. I loved both enclosures, but had to choose you, Richard.(Please don't be upset Kat, when you see my comment. Absolutely nothing personal :) Reason #1 for me is, it is certainly a setup meant for a Tarantula, and showcases the beauty of this species for me. #2 is I like the way you use the space. It has a full feel, and pcs are in proportion to the enclosure. Somewhat cozier, if you will. Great Job!!

  • @emilywilhite5807
    @emilywilhite5807 Před rokem +2

    Honestly I can’t even vote. I love them both. I love the goth feel and black touches and skull in your enclosure. I also love Kat’s mushrooms and pops of color. They are both fantastic enclosures for beautiful Ts.

  • @brianaglenn3706

  • @lordhawkridge4116
    @lordhawkridge4116 Před rokem

    I'm a big fan of naturalistic setups more than any sort of theme; replicating their natural habitat as closely as possible is far more important to me than any aesthetic (and if you do proper research into where they're from, you can certainly make them aesthetically pleasing still!). Both look great, but I do prefer yours out of the two!

  • @leannetuckphipps1497

    Man, you both did great! I like Kats fairy tale theme but I LOVE anything goth looking. I set up a Nightmare Before Christmas themed 20 gallon enclosure for my skeleton leg tarantula. It took me 3 days 🤣🤣😫 glad I'm not the only one who devotes time and creativity to the enclosures.

  • @arachnophobe2arachnoholic

    Love your enclosure suits your spider perfectly

  • @TarantulaHaven

  • @janebrewer9326

    I'm so looking forward to seeing what Kat does, personally I think you are both good and decorating enclosures. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sets up enclosure, adds loads of stuff then thinks I need more substrate, so it gets dumped on top of the hard work 🤣🤣 this is what I love about the T community, rather than Kat getting annoyed and you both fighting, instead you are having a healthy little competition, now that is the best middle finger to trolls ever.

  • @1129BAMF
    @1129BAMF Před rokem

    I really liked both enclosures. I'm kind of over skulls, but I love how high you piled the substrate, while Kat's was a little lacking. I think I liked her aesthetic more, though. Tough to choose!!

  • @starlabratcherflannigan1798

    After watching The Tarantula Collective and Tarantula Kats enclosure builds I have to say I liked both in their own ways. TKat had the live plant, colorful scene.

    Very nice work on decorating. Loved the video, very themed based for the season and most likely your little girl. You seemed to be more aggressive when rehousing. Do you worry you may injure them? The locked in threat pose was awesome while she lay on her back. How did all the webbing get into your videos? How long after the rehousing did you shoot your final enclosure vids? Nice work!
