    I get nervous every time one of our Ts molt. Our Smithi didn't eat for 7 months and then molted a week later. When she finally ate, we were the ones doing a happy dance.

    I used to be a huge arachniphobe but I've been watching your videos for a bit now. I live outside the city of Phoenix, AZ and have tons of tarantula wondering around. I've discovered that the males are the only ones that come up on my patio at night and decide my feet are great to cuddle with. I feel I've come a long way over 13 years that I can save them from the pool without freezing up. Your videos sure help a lot

The place I ordered her from refused to even reply back 🙄. Great video I loved it!!! If you use desert blend you can use a pooper scooper on Tut's poop. Keeps the enclosure cleaner.

    Hi Kat!! I never thought I would own a tarantula and it has never crossed my mind. A couple months ago I very randomly stumbled across your video of you losing your T to impaction. For some reason I couldn't stop watching and it made me so sad. After that I started researching and now own a B. Hamorii named Mango.

    So pleased she molted OK. For the last 2 weeks I've had a tarantula delivered on the Tuesday, molted when I check on it Thursday morning. Last week was an Aphonopelma seemani, then this morning my Tliltocatl kahlenbergi had molted overnight within 2 days of taking delivery.
    Just wish my Grammostola pulchra would get hers done, she seems to have been in pre-molt for ages now!

  • @allietheparanormaladventurer

    I’ve always been terrified of spiders since I had a bad bite from a common spider when I was 10 and I’m 43. But it was traumatic. However I think they are gorgeous creatures and so fascinating. So I’m getting over my fear with your videos and how informative you are. Thanks Kat. This made me miss my bearded dragon Zeus so much. He has a good home now though. We couldn’t keep him where we live.

    I saw a Snake Discovery video featuring a bearded dragon breeder ages ago and he recommended mixing cilantro or bee pollen into their greens if they aren't showing much interest in them (something about the scent makes the greens more appetizing to bearded dragons apparently), in case that helps.

    Aw, what a pretty girl! Stunning. Cool that she directly had those bright colors. When I read the title I thought something went wrong, but I am glad it didn't. The design of the spider with the witchy hat and cristals totally fits this channel. It was funny that you watched Reptiliatus while waiting, didn't you?

    Im glad your smithi moulted ok orange Brachys alwys look amazing just after they moult. I had a horrible day today I let one of my Harpactira namaquensis spiderlets escape while I was filling its water and spent ages searching for it and couldnt find it and eventually had to give up and I felt so bad bcus it was completely my mistake and now little spider will die and then like 4 hours later I went to put my trainers on bcus I was going out and my spiderlet was hiding under one of them omg I was so relieved. but even so I was lucky because I walked past where it was hidden so many times and couldve easily have stepped on it and even if Id picked my trainers up differently it could have got squished but anyway its fine I guess but I will be so much more careful in future

    I'm vicariously watching through you. I'm glad your spider had a successful moly. I didn't know that spiders molt. But I could never have a spider as a pet as I suffer from arachnodphobia. I may get therapy to address it. I know were the fear. Comes from. My sister use to chase me around the house with a spider on the end of the broom. I really like your feeding videos and you have a large variety of pets. I'm not affraid of reptiles. I don't know if your videos are desentatizing me but I have subscribed. I look forward to seeing what's in store for the spiders. I particularly like it when the spiders splash near their water bowls. I imagine they're wanting you to fill it up quickly so they can splash around like a toddler.

    Moults are the most exciting as well as a stressful time for me. I pulled a moult early once to verify gender and the T didn't do so well and I had to ICU him for 24 hours. Now I always leave the moults until the T leaves it alone. They do seem to chew them up. .

    I may have missed it but when you do a water change how much water do you actually change out because I read somewhere not to take ALL the water out for reasons and I wanted to get your opinion - of course it's different for all creatures so I guess I'm asking mainly for freshwater creatures but I'm also curious about salt/brackish also and half aquatic? Sorry that was way longer than I intended 😆

I mean she looks fantastic and fine and I'm glad because it's not humid here at all lately and i have to mist her tank with like an entire water bottle every day.
