I spent $450 on Tarantulas .. but, I finally got her 

My first tarantula was a pulchra and he is an absolute sweetheart. Paul is so shy but he is the goofiest boy. Once spooked him and he tripped over his own legs. Also the only tarantula I have ever seen lay down - he puts his butt on the floor and kicks his legs out to the side which scared me the first time I saw him do it lol. Pulchras are so close to my heart, I love my boy.

Bela and Elvira!! Clearly you hit the ball outta the park in the name game!

I spent $275 for a 3.5" female B. Klassi a few weeks ago. She's a beautiful little fluff nugget. They had a bigger female pulchra for $400. Passed on that since I already have 2 3" pulchras, so a little smaller than the one in this video. One actually molted Christmas eve, was so excited since it's last molt was in March. The other one hasn't molted since February...painfully slow growers. Lol. But they are both super dark velvety black so I won't complain. Mine are not as chill as the ones I see on YT. They bolt and try to hold down their water dishes when I take them out to clean them. Brats. Lol.

She is an absolute beauty! I never in a million years thought about getting a T but watching your videos really changes my mind about getting one. I currently have a male jumping spider ( a female on the way) and now I want to get my first T soon! 😬😬 I think I might choose the Brazilian black as my first choice!

Yay!!! It totally brightened my day when I got a notification that Tarantula Kat uploaded! 😊🕷🕸 Hope you and your family have an amazing and very Happy New Year Kat! 🤗💖🎆🎊

Your videos are a lot of fun in addition to being chock full of important real world experience. Thanks so much for sharing this incredible effort.

They are so beautiful. Congratulations with your new additions :) And happy new Year.

so exciting!! super excited for those two possibly pairing up in the future

This is one of yr greatest videos. It has a sic beat, you can dance to it, plus yr voiceover gives it a Video Killed The Radio Star vibe, and I love the Spider Condo you built at the end!

Going to add to my collection this weekend with a grammostola pulchripes and I’m so excited! congrats on the new T!

Luvvin the enclosures and two gorgeous Ts Kat hope you've had a good Christmas ...

Such a beautiful spider! So happy you were able to get her! I hope you can get some mini-Salems soon!

loved the video today kat!!!

Congrats on your new additions! So cool!

i just got my first tarantula thank you so much you are the first person who got me interested into the hobby. i never knew how cool tarantulas were until i found your channel

Congrats on your new addition’s btw I love the voice over so cool

Beautiful gifts for yourself! Merry Christmas and happy birthday 😍

New video, now this is exciting!

Whenever I hear the name Elvira I always think of The Oak Ridge Boys song 😂

A complete set 🖤🖤🖤🕸🖤 I’m happy for you T Kat! Amazing ✨

I really enjoyed the voice over! It feels kinda like a casual break from your usual style

I had been considering a tarantula for a while, and after seeing your videos, have bought a G. Pulchra! It's arriving next week, and I'm so excited! ❤

That is so awesome that you are naming your G. Pulchra Elvira! I named mine the same. Great minds 😀❤

I don't often comment but always watch. Thx for your videos. My dad passed 29/10/21. I couldn't cremate till 01/12. Its been a miserable Xmas and I haven't paid my Ts much attention. New yrs day watching this and you've inspired me again. Gonna go check onn my 30 babies now. Happy New year kat 🥰

I got my juvenile G Pulchra female from Tampa Repticon with enclosure for $250, which I know is a steal. I was so excited, I couldn't pass her up. She is a doll! Love her!!! :)

Love the music at the start of the video!

Awesome vid 👍🏻 the more I watch you and Dave’s beasties my fear has turned into fascination. Ty so much for your great efforts in content to watch

Love bella from twilight lmfao. Literally got up from my seat and went "aye" when you said that.

"Hello, this your captain. We will be ready for takeoff in 15 minutes..." :) Thanks Kat, Happy new year!

So I have been watching some of your videos because they are fascinating, I am a lover of all things animals, but I can tell you I don't want to wake up with a scorpion or spider next to me on my pillow, and my husband was bitten by a brown recluse. But still, I find your videos fascinating. One other story I will tell you is that back in the 1950's or early 1960's, my uncle was in the grocery store, reached into a box of bananas and a tarantula jumped out of the box and bit him. He showed me the two little scars where the fangs went in, of course it did not kill him, he said the wound just drained for a while before it healed. I would guess that bananas and other fruit are now fumigated to kill infestation from insect pests (no offense intended), but I never forgot that story he told me, and he was not a mean man, in fact one of the nicest men I have ever known, so he didn't hold anything personal against the tarantula. My husband and I own 4 acres with a pond, and feel our land is a wildlife sanctuary, as we have squirrels, rabbits, birds of all kinds, a fox, feral cats, fish, turtles, and the occasional duck (s). Without our consent (LOL) we also have a variety of snakes, and all the green lizards are named Fred, and all the large yellow and black garden spiders are named Esmerelda.

The perfect gifts for your self!!!! So beautiful

Ok I finally watched it! I loved it! Great choices for a Christmas present you really deserve it and Salem needs a girlfriend haha

ilysm but I like you talking uncut while setting the environments up 🤣♥️♥️

I have a G Pulchra (2 y/o) too but she's still young, about 3 inches. I just got a Gooty! I'm so excited!!! My Christmas gift from me to me! That puts me to 10 tarantulas, I'm gaining on you Kat!!! :-) Happy New Year!!!!! :-)

Hey Kat Happy new year I hope just wanted to say love your channel and would love to see more jumping spiders love those little guys such spirit and beautiful thanks for doing this for are misunderstood arachnid

Beautiful spiders! Love the names.

YOu can't put a price on the love between a woman and her tarantula.

Hope your having a great time good luck

Great rehouse video

I love the new Ts and the voiceover

Aww she is so beautiful. looked So laid back as well. Elvira is an awesome name... Mistress of darkness lol. She took the worm so gently as well. Awesome video Kat. 👍

Congratulations on your two new family members.

Oooooooh can't wait for the pairing

I liked the voice over effect. Keep it up as a change up occasionally

Those prices are crazy to be honest. I've seen slings go for crazy prices over $200 which you can buy in europe for probably 25 euro's. Great video, beautiful spiders. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!!

I've searched for a MONTH for a pulchra and finally got one!! Arriving next Thursday 🎉 can't wait!!

Nice! So happy for you! I'm excited for my G. pulchra to get big but it has a long way to go. I suspect male, but it is too small to tell accurately.

Hiiii Tarantula Kat i like your new tarantulas totaly awsome

expensive spoods, festive spoods, hungry spoods,

congrats on your new adds 😁 i want a g pulchra so bad too ! its a pricey sp here in Canada too so i am waiting for a luck 😎

Awesome New editions tarantula kat

Beautiful new babies! 😍 Idk if you'll see this or not, but do you have any recommendations on when it comes to finding velvet spiders?

Hi sweetheart! Elvira is so nice and docile!! You are right I think G. Pulchra is one of my favorite too!!! We are right because Pulchra in Latin means “beautiful”!! And this is very nice because you named the sling as Bella and in Italian means “beautiful” as well!! That’s funny because probably without knowing that you give the right name! And I really hope for a female of course! Thanks a lot for your videos, as you know they kept me company in this period of covid 😷 Much love, stay safe!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like your videos so much ♥️ How do you manage to use plants and water them without it starting to mold? Kind regards from germany.:)

My first tarantula he is so chill no aggression whatsoever love him

I was so happy for you when I saw the thumbnail, knowing how badly you were wanting a female pulchra!

I’ve been trying to get one of these for ages, they are so hard to find here

they been all over the place this year. saw a juvenile one for the first time in my life. it was pretty trippy

Hi Kat, beautiful beautiful spiders especially Elvira beautiful shade of black. All worth every penny I do have a question?? You know I am a fan if you don't mind me asking but during the second housing I was wondering what is the name of the beat that you were using for the background? It kind of had like Mario Brothers Nintendo sound in the beat it was really cool I've never heard anything like that. 7:25 You always play cool music that one really caught my ear and I would really really like to know .if you can?? If you can't I understand I'm looking forward to your next video like always hopefully you had a great merry Christmas and always wishing you a happy New Year.. thank you

What a beautiful girl, she's so good natured. I hope you have luck getting babies. The second one is stunning, I love her colours 😍

Ahhh, I was going to name my suspect female G. pulchra Elvira! I went with Morticia instead. So happy that you finally have a female! I’m so excited for you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

They are all beautiful Kat I'm looking for one myself one day I'm sure I'll luck out lol 😆

I love my G pulchra, Minerva! Also have an Elvira, my Psalmopeus cambridgei.

My first was a pulchra but I was inexperienced and it died super early. I have been wanting another someday Doon

oh my she is so gentle and adorable

Yep, tis the season to buy more tarantulas. I'm gonna be picking up some Aphonopelma sp jalisco, Aphonopelma anitahoffmannae, and a Nebo whitei scorpion. The Aphonopelmas are apparently somewhat new to the hobby and don't have much info on them from what I, or the suppliers, can find so it's a bit exciting to be getting them. Also I just adore the Aphonopelma genus.

I liked the voiceover 😊

I’m not in the hobby, but have always wanted to be. And this one is the one I wanted to get first but just now (through this video) I see they are expensive, what a bummer. If I ever get into the hobby I guess I’ll really have to save quite a bit of money.... but this species seems so sweet and docile, plus being super gorgeous as well.

The G.pulchra is my favourite T too, I'm lucky enough that my first ever T was a G.pulchra sling, had mine about 5months, her name is Pandora and she's not as well behaved as most G.pulchras, she's a bit of a menace.

Congrats on getting a female Pulchra. I got lucky and mine ended up female. I have a female juvie S. sp Santa Catalina. She’s a little spicy and a fantastic eater. Love watching her take down prey. You will definitely enjoy yours.

Have you found that your enclosure has ever gotten mold spores by using this method with the dirt, plant, water ? I tried recently but i used potting soil and dead moss.. mold spores popped up in a week...

I just got my first pulchra recently, it's so chill although seems to be on a major hunger strike for me, but has a nice sized abdomen so I'm not too worried. Can't wait to find out the sex but definitely have a while to go from the 1.5" it is now.

uwielbiam ten kanał :P

I have arachnophobia, and even tho my skin crawls, I keep watching your videos lol

It's always nice to get something you've wanted for a long time. I waited 2+ years to get a vinegaroon, wanting a female, but it looks like the seller might have messed up and shipped me a sub-adult male... So another year later, I finally found someone who was selling them at an expo. I hurried to the expo (took a ferry ride to get there, it was pretty expensive) and looked at the vinnies in person. Finally, after 3+ years, I found my female vinnie. Sexed her myself so there's no mistake this time.

I found a G Pulchra quite easily. $60 slings well started. I checked a couple vendors Tarantula Collective recommended.

Wow what a beautiful species TK

The pulchra is WHY i got back Into the hobby 🥰🥰 my all time favorite species

Have you considered getting an Aphonopelma johnnycashi for the gorgeous dark coloration? I'm more tempted every day since they seem to be slightly less pricey and easier to find than the pulchra 🥴

You got a great deal on Elvira! She’s a beauty! I have 3 males so I also paid extra to get a MF. Hoping for babies too as soon as these males start maturing. Only 1 more molt to go on the oldest. 🖤

Aweee i have a jumper named Elvira! Shes such a lil cutie 🥰

Ahhh so beautiful I'm saving my money on a tarantula my first is going to be a curly hair or fire leg

Oh man I love me some Elvira, mistress of the dark! The actress who played her was inspiration for my actual name (I go by Kaz for short). Me mum was cool like that. They are both so gorgeous, and the voice over is cool with the sped up enclosure set ups. Happy New year Tarantula Kat, and to your whole family along with anybody who read my long comment lol Blessed be yall

Hell yeah

We have an Elvira as well 😁 She is such a beautiful girl, Kat! I really wish we could find a female G. pulchra.

I have one who is a juvenile maybe 2 yrs old a male named Anubis!

Omg, I'm so excited to watch this but so sad I have to wait about an hour to watch it til family leaves. Gah

She is beautiful I have an monocentropus balfouri and I love her soooo much ❤️

Hi Cat! I haven’t been able to get an answer on any of my comments yet, but hoping you can help me. I want to get a G Pulchra but hate keeping crickets. Can I feed them horn worms? This will be my first T, I only have velvets and jumpers. Also is G Pulchra a good starter T?

What a beautiful tarantula

Mrs ruth is gonna have some cool ts here in the next few months might want to check her out

I want to get a spider but I want to be able to handle it. Do you have any suggestions on species that tolerate handling? I feel like I would lose interest in a spider that is display only. Thanks!

I have one named Elvira too! But I'm not sure if mine is F or not yet because it hasn't molted for me yet!

Teehheeee this is so cute, a toad on a toadstool. 🐸🍄

My favorite is the G. Pulchra🥰🕷

I paid 100 euros for a sub-adult female G. pulchra like 15 years ago. She's still doing well.

My second t was a G. pulchra from Jamie's in Aug 2019 and was under 1". Hid for the next 1 1/2 year, coming out maybe 6 days. I FINALLY got a molt that was in decent enough shape to sex and I hit the lottery as I found out she is female. Such a beautiful species.

Damn, for once Canada is ahead of the curve? Pulchras are very easy to find here! You're making me want more. My pulchra's name is Ichabod :) she MIGHT be female, but she's quite small!

A+ burp - From My Husband who also has a good sense of humor lol

I feel it on the steal. I got a female entre rios for 150 and a female OBT for 150
