Feeding my Tarantulas: the BIG, BAD and BOLD! 

I'm gonna have to vote for "Bruja" since it was me that suggested it 🤣

I love how you found a random spider and it was like, "yo heard you keep spiders, can I book a night?"

Lmao "We're gonna gonna be feeding them crickets" SHAKE SHAKE "Which we haven't done in a while" Crickets: EARTHQUAKE!

I just found your channel and you have made me fall in love with tarantulas. I hate spiders but now I think tarantulas are beautiful

Your surprised, "oh! Perfect!", when the jumper jumped into the vial of its own volition was delightful! Cute little thing; it'll be fun to watch it grow. 😄

That mario sound effect when the tiny jumper spider jumped right into the tiny tube 😩🤗 perfection 👌

I think you were just chosen by that little jumping spooder. 🕷💜

I am terrified of spiders. Now watching you and Exotic Lairs make it look enjoyable. I almost want a tarantula. Almost!

Dear Kat, I wanted to thank you and Petko for helping me work past my fear of spiders. I still am terrified of some species (huntsman, brown recluse, and black widows), but I'm starting to get much better about it. Yesterday, I bought my first Juvenile Tarantula - a Brachypelma hamorii (Mexican Redknee)! She is here to remind me of the passion that I had as a child when I would go outside in West Texas with my flashlight, sit on top of our propane tank, and watch the wild Aphonopelma hentzi's (Texas Brown Tarantulas) "fight" each other in the summer (it was mating season, child me!). She is also here to remind me of the joy that I had in Middle School when I adopted a Grammostola rosea (Rose Hair) for two weeks for a school science project and how disappointed our family was when we returned her after getting a 100 on my speech breaking down arachnid behaviors. Tarantulas have always been fascinating to me, but my arachnophobia had always gotten the better of me. I think it was only a matter of time after I found both of your channels that I would bring a Tarantula into my home to help me get past the hurdles of my fear again. You explaining your personal fears with spiders certainly had a lot to do with that - so thank you. Ashlea

So, there is a really small chance that you’ll see this comment. But I need to put this down here. My niece is 3 years old and was not even a year ago incredibly scared of any kind of bugs, but after watching a BUNCH of your videos and Dark dens about spiders and other arachnids she’s gotten so much better with he fear of spiders and has started requesting we get her a tarantula. Most of us are a solid no on that at this point in time since she’s 3. But I think it’s important that you know that you helped a little girl get over her fear of not just spiders but all kinds of other bugs. She requests watching your videos every day. And knows who I’m talking about when I ask if she wants dark den or Kat. She always starts with you and eventually moves on to petco.

Good morning, my Theraphosa Stirmi is about to molt for the 3rd time since I've owned her and she's already about 8 inches long, I can't freaking waittttt, she's always so cool looking after a molt. Have a wonderful day!

//Okay story time me and my boyfriend were cleaning our bedroom and i was taking down the halloween decorations and of course we had big fake webs and sparkly spiders and i was about to take down the last web but i noticed a cute jumping spider who made a web in the fake one and just decided to keep it up for the lil buddy and my boyfriend pitched in to hang up some planters and a wooden shelf so now its our new roommate lol

To be fair to your GBB, even if I were hungry, if someone dropped a small sandwich on my face I’d probably freak out too.

Omg the new T should be named bruja!!! 💜💜💜

Awww that little jumper wanted to keep you to, more then ready to jump into that little jar super cute !

0:18, That is me when I walk out of a pet store, trying to act like I am walking normally but secretly exaggerating my arm walk movements

I think we're kindred spirits lol from earthquaking the crickets to catching random jumpers to loving new worlds ❤

I found a jumper that looked the exact same as that little guy today too in the uk. I wanted to keep him but had nothing to transport him in💔

She caught that little jumper spider like pokemon gotta catch em all 🥂🤣

Your videos make my day 😭 thanks for the great content Kat !

So fun!! The little fuzzy drifting at 12:42....I want a tarantula!!!

Its cool coming back to your old videos knowing you get some of those species on your wishlist

Love the sound effects!

The Jumping spider was like "This chick is cool she has bigger me's and they said they always get food, I gotta get me some of that!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You’re one of my new favorite channels! Love your Insta! 🖤🤍🕷🕸

You know you've made it in the spider keeper world when the spiders start spawning/coming to you XD

I love the way you make the T talk in the little scribbly voice. Love it!

Tarantula Kat and the Dark Den are the best youtubers EVER! Keep rocking Kat your channel is great keep that educational, entertaining content coming.

Great video Kat!!! Tyfs God bless you

I had one of those jumpers until she escaped yesterday! I think it was a Hentzia Mitrata, she was such a joy and I hope to see her around my house some. She was super curious and friendly. 😊

Omg I didn’t think you would pick mine. Thanks so much I love your vids. 😂

Such beautiful floofs. I love the toe beans!!! Such amazing species and i actually have keeperkards for my jumpers

Of all your Ts... my fav is your OBT!! That is one sweet spood!!!Great video!!!!!

Your actually the best channel for info and spider content on the internet 🙌🧡🧡

WC jumping spider, so cool!

So good to see an Australian species included in these cards :) I have a few s.crassipes and yes they are a bit crazy. Fast and grumpy.

Beautiful GBB!! Can’t wait till mine is this big

Little Jumper was like, Oh! You want me in - HERE?! 💪😎

I only have 3 slings and one juvie and they all molted in the last 2 weeks. Really interesting to watch. Much love from South Africa 🕸

What a twist. CUTE LIL JUMPER BB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this video

Just looked up 'Purple Tree Spider' and I'm in love.

I love your videos. Would I ever hold a tarantula no. Would I ever own one no. Will I watch all your videos and fall more in love and respect the species yes.

Watching ur videos has been helping me with my fear of spiders 🕷 😁😍 thanks I luv ur videos

Name your auratum Bruja!! That is an awesome name for her!

I just caught one the other day. Few days in my voss eater bottle it laid a sac. Now waiting to hatch, looked just liekt hat too

The fact that you just had a jumping spider on your house randomly walk up to ur phone is wild but xool

Tarantula Kat: *shakes bags of crickets* Crickets: "oH nO! tHeRe'S aN eArThQuAkE! wE'rE aLl GoNnA dIe!"😭

Bruja is such a cool name for her! I love it!

I love this. I love Bruja for that spider! I’m suuuuuuper new to tarantulas and stuff, so i just like looking at the ones everyone has. I’m freaking TERRIFIED of spiders lmao, but i always wind uo being like massively panicking, and then still being like “i wonder what it is...” and then trying to take photos of it from like ten feet away on an iPhone LOL

Name it Bruja!!

Omg I love the name Bruja for her

Just found ur channel really enjoying. Highly recommended a Ecuadorian bird eater. Big spider but really chilled. We used to have a green bottle blue but lost her on a bad molt😢

Great video

I need a flame knee now! I swore I’d never get another NW, but I’d make an exception for this one.

forget about insects you are tooo cute 🙈🙈😍. really adorable. love n respect from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Great video love u kat

That perfectly cut scream in the first clip XD

I litteraly can’t find jumping spiders anywhere and I can’t find them outside either 😬 *I just want to find one any way* (I spell bad 🤭)Ps:Another one I bought one but it was the last In Stock I’m so sorry to the people reading this and me having so many errors

I joined Kickstarter yesterday for the expansion

Hello Kat!!! I would like to know if you would like to do a jumping spider video, explaining it's behavior, how to take care and stuff I love them and yours are amazing, I wish you could show them more, the are SO CUTE

Wish to have gbb soon ma'am 😍 looks very challenging and gbb is a very good eater

I like Bruja :)

So I’m pretty nervous with spiders but I’m obsessed with your videos

I used to have a Y diversipes female. So amazing. Raised it as a sling that i bought for $40 but now they are sooo expensive

That ring light in your glasses tho lol

I dont even like spiders or tarantulas but I find myself watching your vids for some reason lol

You inspired me to get my First T, I have a Phlogius Crassipes aka Selenocosmia Crassipes. Aussie viewer 🖤

Question. Do pink toes web up the enclosure? The leaves and sticks in the enclosure are turning white and want to make sure if it's webbing and not mold.

I sometimes think about getting a pet tarantula. Maybe I should get set of these cards to help me decide

i love your videos also. i am even thinking about seeing if i can get either a curly hair, costa rican stripe knee, or both! do you all think i should?

i feel like that intro segment with the jumping spider would have been infinitely better if you had added in the gameboy pokemon battle music.

You've gotta get one Theraphosa they are amazing

oh your A ezendami came out I basically NEVER see mine 😢 it stays underground all the time I put feeders and it still wont come out but the feeders are always gone the next day. one time it changed its burrow a but and it came up to the plastic of the enclosure so I could shine alight in and kind of see its bum but as soon as I started doing that it changed the burrow again and I cant see in any more

Oh my god the animal crossing sounds. I’m living.

I vote for Bruja as her name!!!

🖤🖤🖤

Bruja! That would be amazing for a lil' spooky girl.

You might think I'm weird but I saw 2 light anomalies at the beginning of the video, the 1st one that shot down into the top of the couch by the front door, and the 2nd shot into the couch. Just look and you'll see it.

Yay

i wish i had those cards...

"Theres a spider on my phone" Me: *would scream throw the phone and run Kat: "its adorable and I shall keep you 😍🥰 Lady mam i have so much respect for you. I love watching your channel because I think spiders are terrifying and beautiful and you are so brave to me 🤣

I love Bruja and Elvira, but I also think Bettlejuice would be a good name for her.

Do you think a Goliath bird feeder is a good first time tarantula

My female jumper molted! I think she’s a boy now :( it’s so hard to tell. Helppp?!?! Lol love your channel, keep up the inspiration. 🖤🤘

17 comment what up kat you are the best I always enjoy your amazing videos keep up the great work girl and happy Friday 💪💯👍

I like the Name Elvira for that Halloween T

Omg your p. Metallica is so beautiful and BIG!!! I thought they were made illegal in the US?

That's more of my Augacephalus enzendami than I see in a month lol

Crazy spider lady adopts another stray

Yeah my h. Maculata is only like 2 inches and I’m honestly more scared of her than almost any of my other t’s she is absolutely nuts!

Love your video as always! And just wanted to say that we are currently nail polish twins. My black nail polish is literally in the same state. #AfterHalloweenNails
