To make the silicon hold better try using a low grade sandpaper to rough the edges to help give the polymer more grip 🖒love the enclosure vids keep it up
I do a lot of DIY stuff myself and I'm pretty confident that a jigsaw would just tear that lid to shreds. I'd say the snap blade is a better option but maybe use it against a ruler to keep it straight. You could also potentially heat the blade a bit with a lighter to help get through the awkward edge parts. Hope this helps :D
Try a high precision thin sheet metal cutting blade with fine teeth. That's what I use. It doesn't shred the plastic.
Petko I love your work! Please don't you ever stop!
P.S I am the only one that enjoined the drill noise? :D
Thank you Phillip!!!
I worked all day to come home and watch the dark den. LOL YOU NEED TO UPLOAD MORE OFTEN!!!
Good job Phil!! Nothing makes Petko happier than a Poki!!!
Hello and a great "thanks" to you.
I've had really bad depression my whole life and always feel kinda empty. I dont even very into that hobby (My father once had an very huge collection, but I cant remember very well. Thats maybe 10 or 15 years ago.) But when I watch your videos I really enjoy it. I dont even know why, maybe because you have a lot of charisma, or something else in that way. Anyway, a huge thanks to you for making these videos. Everyone of them let me smile, and I just want to say thanks to you.
Perhaps, one day I will start my own collection.
Have a great day.
(Sorry if there are any mistakes in my text, English is not my main language. )
hope the best for u and best of lucks man,hopefully u get into the hobby,but beware! 1 tarantula is never enough :D
I love the way you make enclosures, good job, ok so no one is perfect.
Hey Philip/Filip!
Well done sending the poecilotheria vitata to Marko, he has a new addition to his collection now!
👍👍👍👍👍
I love this channel because it's so positive PETKO I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SINCE 10 k YOU LIGHT UP MY MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS keep up the good work 😃👍✌️👌
Thanks for the donation Philip. Beautiful spider! I want one now.
"I have to cut it straight, *Unlike Me* " - Petko 2017
Random Crap I knew I wasn’t the only one to hear this.
I was confused
Random Crap I think he meant cut it straight because he didn’t cut it straight
Slime Creation it was a gay joke.
When you talk to your dark side lol
Great Video ! Just an observation, when using the utility blade cut down and away from the body! I’ve seen first hand how it has slipped and cut their thigh ! You don’t want that experience.. we appreciate your videos, love them all! Thank you!
Thanks Petko for breaking my fears and DIY videos about to get my first trantula..thanks also to Trantula Kat.
I literally watched all your videos so I can only wait for you to upload on Monday and Friday 😅
its good to see Females also liking this kind of content, most i know are scared or get really creeped out by most if not all Spiders, except maybe Salticidae (Jumping Spiders) mainly because they are usually really vibrant colors or are just generally cute spiders overall :)
Hey petko, I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago and I decided to get a tarantula, thanks for the awesome content!
Only reason I get up on Monday’s
Great video like always!! Congratulations on the new Vittata!!
the sound of the smalldrill is so satisfying 3:06
After 8 years and about 5 OBTs, I finally got my first Pokie! P. ornata!
You could also cut out a small square in the middle of the (top) door flap and silicone down mesh for more ventilation.
It nice to see how fast you're channel grow. I sub around 15 k. Watch all of you're video back then. And i still do 😊 keep Up the good work mate
Love your videos!!
Best regards from Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷

What a great channel! Thank you for all these videos.
This video helped a lot. Thank you. I am now keeping a phidippus audax in mine. Sorry if my spelling is wrong.
Thank you Filip!🕷
one of your best videos ever
That drillbit is badass
Very good altenative! It can be frustrating finding aboreal enclousures on the cheap esp when you have quite a few in the collection. Might be trying this if I start running out...
good video! good idea for an enclosure. You can use a soldering iron to "weld" plastic together at the seams. we also do that to our enclosures when we crack them accidently, or cut not so straight :)
I just love this guy. Literally could shit a video out about anything and I'd watch it.
your videos are awesome and super helpful , keep them coming !
You should start doing 3 videos a week love wwhat u do and how u do it hope my collection of ts is half as good as urs one day.
As always BRAVO !! This is great temporary alternative !! Pretty easy looking too. I'm on it.
After a really bad day this is just what u need! I always look forward to a Monday night now XD
You crafty son of gun ❤️
I love this channel so much! Keep up the good content.
She's so beautiful 😍 aaaaagh I really want a tarantula, and I've already decided what species I want too but last time I checked Spiders World (?) they didn't have any grammostola pulchras... And I would most likely have to wait until next spring anyway because it's already gotten quite cold in Finland. I really want "the black lab of tarantulas" because I really love the pitch black coloration and many recommend them as a beginner species due to their usually calm nature.
Awesome video as usual and a beautiful new girl for the collection. I look forward to your videos and always learn something new!
This is a good idea for an enclosure. I will keep this in mind for when my mantis needs bigger space to live in
Awesome sauce Phillip!
philip thanks for adding a new tarantula to the den! best of lucks!!!
Simple, yet amazing
Hey Petko! Just wanted to let you know that it is because of your videos that I purchased my first sling yesterday! Thank you so much for all the info you give us! Question for you! When should I transfer my sling into a bigger enclosure? It is now in a pill container and it's legspan is about half of the diameter of the container! Thank you!
You are awesome Filip!
Well done Petko and Phillip
I would like to know who those 10-20 people are that always dislikes ur videos. and they are so fast also. i wonder if they are in a ''we who hate petko'' club. PS: your face when cutting stuff is priceless
We neeed to get you some stronger tape as a gift on the next episode lol. Very simple and easy, I like it.
Actually the enclosure has a really nice look to it with the cheap plastic, I don't know what it is but I actually really like the look.
OMG. Where would the world be without sticky tape. lol. Another great video, your amazing.
Wow that’s just totally ingenious holy shit... I never would’ve thought about that.
Now I just have to find that tub.
Nice video ! And a HUGE thanks to Philip on behalf (i think) of the whole Dark Den community, ty m8 u're awesome.
nice enclosure ceep the videos coming i am a subscriber sinds last year
Much love fillip your very kind
Thank you Philip!
What a beautiful new addition! Thanks Phillip (hopefully I spelt that right!) for the new addition and sharing her beauty with us. :) And as always Petko, thanks for the awesome video. ^o^
Thanks mate! Keep up the good stuff! ✌
Beautiful drill
Such a docile girl! She is a beauty.
DIY stuff are always great
in this container such a spider looks like 50 cent in a Soviet apartment
I did pretty much the exact same thing for by frog terrarium but with a 60 litre storage tub :)
Waiting for this video since friday.
Waiting for next friday now..
The faces he makes while cutting is literally my face on a daily basis...😂
I was wondering if something like that would work. It’s great to see it in action! I think I’ll try it :) Always love your videos.
Keep up the good videos my friend
Loved the video as usual, awesome idea! Will definitely use this
Brilliant idea. Won't hold my serpents but then I could always get a arachnid??? Enjoyable video again thank you. 🙃
Yiihhhhaaaaa!!! Glad that all went fine with my ex lady :D
For a moment, I thought Fillip was referring to the Girlfriend... lol
Great and beautiful spider addition... Thank you for being so generous to Petko. 👍👍👍
You could put a plastic cap in the bottom so it could be stable
Awesome DIY!
i love the high speed tv shop music in the background
The Squad is HERE !
Petko bout to start his own enclosure business
Super glue is really good for bonding plastic.
Hey den, When will you do an update on chilobrachys sp electric blue? Also hello from New York.
Love your vids. Already starting collecting animals thanks to you
Hola saludos desde México, amigo creo queda mejor si usas una regla y un marcador , los cortes salen rectos y no necesitas corregirlos después , me gustan tus videos , solo que creo que debes poner subtítulos en español 😁
Hi,
that's a very cool idea, but I would be really careful about the tape espacially on the inside. This tape is not designed to hold forever and because of the humidity on the inside of the enclosure it will probably come off even faster. I only know it from snakes that you do not use it, because snakes can not free themselves of the tape, but I do not know if taratulas are able to.
Jey Jey yeah Tarantulas can get stuck on tape too, its better to just use hinges.
He said he needed time to make a proper enclosure I’m sure it’s not for long
OMG I have to have that drill bit!
Great vid, I’m going to make one for my Avicularias when she gets bigger
Brilliant idea
Very cool idea!
Thanks Philip!!
Cheers Petko!! :)
Nice budget build. 👍🤗🕷
Black friday arboreal enclosure!
"box cutting knives" or stanley's are for snapping band ties on sealed boxes haha. definitely better with the jigsaw dude xD
Hey i really like ur vids and u ur self. And i love ant more than spiders I have just 1 spider and 1 small ant colony. So i just wanted to see some more ant updates from u about lasius and that other species u found. Thanks
Ha! I was just getting ready to build one of these for my daughter's new crested gecko! Guess I'll watch this first. :)
I'm also planning on replacing the inside of the front/top with acrylic so we'll be able to see inside better.
I Said it befors and I’m going to say it again... I love this videos
MAN I LOVE UR CHANEL I LUV BUGS PLS TAKE CARE OF ANT COLONIES I WILL BE MOREEE HAPPY!!!I LUV U
Can you do a video on how to make one without silicone please

You should upload more!!
I'm definitely going to try this!! :)
