I am much too terrified to have them myself, but I am learning to appreciate them in a way I never did before because of your channel. They're fascinating. 😊
The Versicolor is my favorite Tarantula. Maybe one day I'll get one. It's been a long time since I've been in the hobby and I promised myself I would never get another big spider after the horrible care I gave them. The hobby wasn't the same 30 years ago. It was very basic and Pet Shoppish. I feel bad that I let so many tarantulas down because I didn't know enough to take care of them. Now I'm finding out all the information I can before I decide to buy one. I thank you, Kat (and everyone of the RU-vid influencers) with the education y'all have given me. Anyway, Happy Birthday and a Happy New Year and once again thank you!
Happy Birthday!! 💖 Yeah when I got my little C. versicolor, I put them in an enclosure like that and within the hour it escaped. My daughter yelled "moooom, I think your spider is crawling on the TV!!" I had to rig the sides with cardboard. 😒 Cool new enclosure! ☺️
My first T, a curly, came to me in the terrestrial zilla enclosure, with a broken latch, so as soon as i gathered all the supplies i put her in a 10gal, which is way more space than she needs as a newly mature female but she'll be set for life in it
BonBon is gorgeous!! Love the fact she has been raised from a sling and she is now of an age you can look back fondly at the bond you have. My four Ts all are slings, two have moulted once, and it's just so special seeing em grow from such a young age. 🖤 Dunno if you've ever tried keeping isopods, but they can be also super special to raise. Started with a dozen or so in a large terrarium.. recently had to empty it to start afresh due to fungus gnat infestation that I couldn't get under control.. and OMG the hundreds of baby isopods I got to see during the painstaking hours of relocating them made me "AWWW SO TINY!!" countless times!
Your videos inspired me to purchase my first tarantula. I ordered a grammostla pulchra. He/she is coming next week. I’m a retired nurse and look forward to caring for for it. Thank you!!
I think this was the first time looking at a spider or spider like creature where in my head I thought I would like to hold that. Tarantula videos brought me back from borderline phobia to a point I could watch them but this is the first time I wanted one to touch me. BonBon is just too darn pretty to be at all scary. Honestly the aviculara was also super cute since its legs were just so long and slender
Your Caribena Versicolor Bon Bon is gorgeous. I just got my first tarantula...also a Versicolor....and it is a wonder to watch as it molts, grows, and gets faster!!! The first time mine jumped, it startled me a bit, but now I know what to expect. Bolty...but beautiful!!!
3:50... yep, that's ALL you. I had my A. purpurea in one of those enclosures for about a year and not once did I fail to close the door properly. Excellent enclosures for the money.
Happy birthday, Kat! Thank for the good wishes. 2022 has been kind of a dick to us (unless you're a football fan, since our team won the World Cup) so I hope 2023 is better.
I usually make my own arboreal enclosures. I use a Hobby Lobby long display case, dremel the bottom third of the lid off, tgen glue in the small part of the lid, attach the larger piece with acrylic hinges, and melt a hole on the top through the case and the lid for a nail to fit through that locks it in place. It’s been the best for me so far, and you decide pretty much everything about it as far as ventilation.
Happy birthday 🎉 and thanks to make me feel to have again t's. I had a teraphosae blondi when i did my 18 years old like 22 years ago. I lost her some years ago and was disgusted and didn't want more. Now I'm back with 10t's🙈😂. They are so beautiful 😍
Your versicolor is gorgeous. Mine is also a little hottie, but a juvenile still so lots of blue still on display. Happy birthday Kat :). Thanks for all you do.
Kat, thank you for being a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. The love and compassion you give to your web puppies and other exotic animals is amazing. Sorry if I sound cheesy. I just really appreciate you teaching the world how to not only care but to show love for these web puppies. 😃🥰
Kat, I have both sizes of the Zilla enclosures. I bought a female metallic pinktoe. She was bigger than I thought she would be. Back to the store for the larger enclosure . Yes the larger is more flimsy . and I had the door ajar like you did ,but no escapes but crickets could through the gap in the bottom, so I make sure the door is closed properly . You can strengthen the cage by using aquarium sealant if you don't mind sticky fingers across all joints of the cage could help.
I'm so glad I found tarantula cribs before I bought the large Zilla arboreal enclosure lol their jumper bundle was perfect for a starter like myself 🥰 thanks for the code Kat! 💕 Stay awesome!
Happy birthday Kat 🥳 hope you’re having a great day and getting spoiled! Loved your video! BonBon is quite the explorer 😂 bet that was fun getting her down from the ceiling 😂 I don’t blame you though for getting rid off of that enclosure, it’s pretty flimsy and not secure! I’m loving the Tarantula Crib ones, they’re far better quality and robust. I done Josie’s husbandry today too. I have her in a Exo Terra 20x20x20, that’ll do her all her days. She’s sooo laidback she’s horizontal 😂 No hair flicking at all, and I had to excavate her out from the substrate, and went into the catch cup no bother 😊😊 That was my first time doing it too! Happy New Year to you and Mr Tarantula Kat and your family. Wishing you health and happiness 🥳😘🕷️xxx
Whenever I'm struggling with life in general, I always come back here to watch your videos. Sometimes I'll let them build up a little so I can binge-watch them. Your channel brings me so much comfort, and your love and excitement about arachnids is so contagious. Thank you so much for the content you create!! You really helped me through a difficult year, and I'm really grateful. I hope 2023 is everything you hope for. I can't wait to see you grow even more!!
Happy Birthday Kat!!! I'm so glad I watched this video. I was thinkn about buying three of those Zilla arboreal enclosures in the next month or two. Your c version is so beautiful and chill. Mines gorgtbut she's a fiesty Lil lady lol. Tyfs God bless you

Thank you so much for all the amazing videos, and helping us tarantula lovers who are too scared to keep them so involved in the hobby. We love and respect you so much 🥰 and can't wait for the many more years to come with you 👍 Happy New year from the whole of England 🏴
*HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT* I love your content and it provides me with the information as a new keeper as a tarantula keeper among others we love you happy new year can’t wait for 2023 see you there
Happy Birthday!! I have not a Zilla enclosure but another brand that is very very similar. Yea I have problems with it also. it's a terrestrial rather than the arboreal and the top has warped and is sagging a bit. Also one of the silicone bands corroded and broke. Plus it has 2 swing latches on the top of the lid to keep it closed and on both sides the tiny plastic screw with a nut kept falling out until I super glued the nut to the threads. They still rotate to lock and unlock, but those suckers ain't coming off again anytime soon. lol. Thank you for all the great content in the last year! Happy New year!
Lol, they gave you one of their three packs. Open the smaller cube, and there should be one even smaller in the middle! I just bought this set from them. Happy birthday! And Happy New Year!
Happy Birthday 🎈 Tarantula cribs is way to expensive in my opinion.. for the same amount of money i can get my exoterra glas enclosures at same sizes. glas is much better than acylic..
Happy birthday mine was 6 days before Christmas yours is 6 days after! 🎂🎉 The only issue I see with putting the avic in that enclosure is that they web up the top. And that's the only way to open it. So you would probably be ripping the webbing up. But it is a really cool design for spiders that use the cork bark tubes to make their homes. Happy new year to you and your family!
Happy birthday Kat...fellow Capricorn 😊 Bon Bon is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for all of your wonderful video's through 2022. Heres wishing you, your beautiful family, your T's, Bowser, and all your other pets a prosperous 2023 xx
