Do I need to watch a how to video when I don’t own a spider? No.
Will I drop everything and watch the second it is uploaded? Absolutely!
So do I. It is so interesting and I am so impressed with the way Petco puts everything together so well. We can learn a lot watching him about tarantulas and Building Things.
Same! I'm scared of spiders but I love these videos and I like learning more and more about spiders and how to actually keep them even though I never ever will get one :P
Been here since petko used to lose spiders under his couch lol!!!
Francisco Viera - and step on em lol
Hail-Falcor That Happened?
AlmightyJOE yes
I’ve been here since his hairline was strong
Memes Of The Round Table lmao his hairlines been weak since day one Tbh. He’s Still a cutie tho
I ordered my first ever Tarantula and its a GBB, She is arriving this week and im so excited!
I got my first GBB for Christmas. Make sure to give it plenty of web attachment points so it’ll make an awesome web castle!
That’s what I got for my first only have 2 slings right now GBB(first one) and a Brazilian white knee they are so cute and tiny adorable I use a plastic to go container to house them good luck
Good luck y'all :D
@@Moakmeister So how do you actually get some into the enclosure? Just with some sticks that poke into the air or what?
I just got one a few days back! Congrats to you!
The dark den is always the highlight on my Monday
Me: has no T's, won't keep T's, isn't allowed to keep them
Also me: watches tutorials on how to keep them and how to build stuff for them
Ant Land keep trying to get one it took me months to take my parents
Ant Land I’m in the same boat! 😕
Me too. I'm so jealous of those who can have them.
You could always make some cash by making cool enclosures and selling them ;)
Tbh having a T isn't hard to hide.
For anybody using this as an instructional video, Petko forgot to mention an important part about the extra parts of the enclosure. If you add leaf litter or live plants, you need to sanitize them first to prevent your animal from getting parasites or unwelcome guests.
For leaves: boil and dry before use
For live plants: make a diluted dish soap and water solution and spray on plant, remove most of the soil it came with, and wash roots if possible.
That's all, otherwise great info and demonstration to follow for any terrarium/vivarium
Most importantly, have fun :)
Meituan people also that a lot of things come with herbicides or other poisons on them. Sometimes putting them in the freezer works for mites or other Critters. But plants definitely need washed including the roots.
I agree on the plants, but if you take leaf litter or wood etc. from your nearby forest, it really is unnecessary to sanitize it, because there aren't any parasites that evolved to target tropical tarantulas or other tropical invertebrates (assuming you don't live in the same area the tarantulas are coming from). Petko lives in Croatia so there surely aren't any parasites he would have to worry about :)
@@paul-robinfranz9272 Oh sorry, I wasn't thinking for specifically invertebrates. I live in Texas and used to keep reptiles, and I had to go through a mite infestation from some foliage I collected. Plus it can keep the risk of mold or fungus down, since spores can remain dormant for some time until they get wet, and that's a disaster and a half to clean up in a large terrarium.
But that's a very good point, not many things in a local area would compete :)
@@paul-robinfranz9272
I would take the precautions anyway, just in case. Nature can be cruel too. I saw a documentary on crickets and the parasites that insect as well as other insects. All from nature. I've been known to be over cautious though. I feel there is no reason not to be.
@@judygwen3977 And what does that documentary tell us about parasites found in leaf litter and wood? Nothing. The thing is, you aren't just being overly cautious by sanitizing all that stuff, you also kill off a lot of helpful little critters. I've been using locally collected forest earth for nearly all my reptiles and inverts for over 5 years now with great success! The little bugs that come with it (isopods, millipedes and others) are great for making my terrariums and other enclosures bioactive and more natural
hey darkden just saying for safety of your lungs. the chemicals that are in Styrofoam its quite harmful when heated just say a idea for the future to protect your lungs from the chemicals as well having a handheld torch it dose not all ways burn the fuel from the tank so i am giving my concerns you dont have to read this or give a hoot but safety first right when working with venomous tarantulas and or reptiles would you not ware a face mask for a spitting cobra or use tongs to coxe a tarantula to a larger home any way thank you for being you and being a amazing tarantula youtuber or a tula tuber keep going and dont stop
blackwolf 550, u need more likes lol
Agreed on the burning. Plus some people after watching follow blindly not knowing the dangers of the fumes. Would be better if burning is also not in enclosed area where the chemicals will be concentrated for longer periods before it dissipates, also bad for all your pets.
Hey guys, thanks. That is something I did not know. I hope Petco reads these comments.
We all appreciate your advice. Definitely wearing mask next time I work with styrofoam. Just a little comment your way, I think you might of misspoke, because tarantulas are venomous, not poisonous. Thanks again.
@@nywf1824 You could do the same thing with a 10 dollar heat gun from harbor freight that doesn’t produce a flam or fumes. It works like a super hot blow dryer.
DD: "alright, let's do this! Let's BURN!!"
T's: *"could you... Not..."*
"I think this girl will be alright." He says as gorgeous T starts to run circles around her enclosure and his poking stick only stopping to bite the stick every once in a while. LOL! Great video!
Please try doing the timelapse of her making a burrow
My Goliath bird eater was molting but got stuck in his Molt and ended up dying. Never thought a spider would make me cry so much 😕
Sorry to hear that. Condolences.
So sorry milfhunter69. That would have killed me too. Did you find out why it got stuck, or did you try to help it at all?
Even though I've watched a lot of videos of Petko creating new enclosures, I still really enjoy this 'back to basics' content. He understands each species and then adds his own creative DIY flair. His passion for his animals really shines through.
Petko: Now we just move our pokie to the new enclosure...
Tarantula: GET THAT STICK OUTTA MY FACE!!!
Love the music when you were transferring the first T... It was like the music from one of those old comedy skits 😂
Your labels with the species' locations are really cool. I like the attention to detail.
The thumbnail honestly scared me....
Just for the click bait!
[ just kidding ]
I have seen you do this so many times and it never gets old! Your creativity is out of this world 😎👍🏿🕷🕸
I've literally been gathering materials to build my first arboreal enclosure for my first T which will be an A. Avicularia. Great timing on this vid and super helpful! All the info you need in one place!
I really enjoy your content, keep it up! The new enclosures look great!
I did a rehouse on my A. Seemanni recently and I cannot believe what she did!! It is amazing... I did everything you taught me... buried the hide in the substrate... the next day I got up and she had totally excavated a massive den all the way to the bottom of the substrate... You can lift it and see her fat peach colored booty... I am so in love with these creatures... I have placed an order for more... including my first old world, a dwarf, and a trap door!! I'm so beyond excited. You have helped me come so far... I was just someone with no knowledge and 4 spiders in need of a home... now I'm obsessed and am getting more. Thanks so Much Petko!! Much love from Columbus, Indiana U.S.A.
I know, I wish somebody 'had a word' with me about Ts... I am restraining myself from not getting more (need to look after the ones I have at the moment), because we can go from 0 to 100 mph in no time 😃
Legend says when you are this early The dark Den will heart your comment
the legend is just a legend
A myth...
sometimes :P
@@TheDarkDen Yessssss!!!! The legend, the myth, it IS actually true ✨💖💫(sometimes,thank you lol)
@@TheDarkDen well,i will see myself out.
guess the legend is true after all!
Awesome video as always! Love it!
And you even care for the environment, perfect!
Petko, i just love your channel, the way u care about ur animals and your always upbeat attitude. We need haters in life but the ones who didnt like this video, probably cant do it better and are just jealous. Thanks for upload
I love how organised your setup is. Bunch of mostly identical enclosures with information stickers on the bottom.
It's pretty in its practicality.
Another brilliant video! That is a pretty cool build
I would love a video on your choices in plants! Ive had some issues choosing ones that would survive, but also not take over my enclousures. I especially liked one of the plants in the dart frog enclosure, but not sure what it is. Thanks love the DD!
This is a well timed video! I may be getting my first tarantula (an arboreal) this weekend! Although I already know how to set up an enclosure for my specific species, it's nice to have a refresher right before :)
Love these kinds of videos.. keep up the great work
Very cool! Thank you for the tutorial!
Torch thingy= proper English to some folks!! It totally works.
Excellent and funny videos as always!! Greetings from Uruguay !!
Those look great! I've been snooping the local pet stores for small enclosures and adders on sale and the different foods available. Soon, soon I'll have my very first T and it's all because of YOU! 😁❤
Very nice. Also like even when u go and get things u need we can still see and hear u, know that will change but find its kinda cool right now. Take care, see u Friday.
Hey Petco, great video as always. Wondering if you could at the end of these build videos show us what it looks like on your shelf? Great way to see it finished off. Keep up the great content, really enjoying the new space. Cheers!
Awesome! Always enjoy your enclosure builds! H Gigas are one of my all time fav sp, I have 4 of them hehe
14:28 *Nonchalantly takes sand from the Sicarius thomisoides enclosure
They look very similar to Petkos decoration sand box, right? :D
Hehe, got different sand in theirs :D
I am an experienced T keeper but I still enjoy watching enclosure builds, Keep it up !!
You’re great man love the videos
loved this! new music was cool to listen/notice as well!
Cool. I like your rehousing and making enclosures vids :)
My Psalmopoeus Irminia sling has decided to just get itself into a corner behind a rock and web it up dispite the branches and twigs to climb.
Such a strange T.
I purchased a Brachypelma Boehmei a few months ago (species for noobs I guess) and have utilized this channel for making my own enclosure. Have to say this is a very addicting hobby as I am already wanting to get some new ones in the future. Awesome and informative channel!
I like that you dont put the back board all the way to the bottom for the burrowers so you can see through all sides to see their burrow ♡
I don't own any Insects or anything like that I watch you because I like the way you explain stuff and it's entertaining
Great episode!
Thank you for taking the time to do this video it is very helpful for me. I have a baby pink toe tarantula named button. When she is bigger I am definitely doing this kind of enclosure thanks to your help.
after binge watching your videos for the past month, I have decided to start keeping tarantulas! honestly, without your channel i’d still be a bit scared of them haha
I quick video of how you made that glass enclosure would be great! Love your channel!
I'm extremely familiar with setting up all types of enclosures, but I love watching tutorials because fun. ❤️
I’m glad there’s someone like him to teach about tarantulas to people he does good with telling information. I wish I had time to make enclosures like that at least just the glass.
Anyone know who sells enclosures like that in the USA.
Amazingly done
Kiss of death speaking about the poeci rehouse before removing the lid 'I think this will be ok' 😂
Some say the amount of wood this man owns is monstrous ;)
I have another note on the polyfoam. Another user mentioned that you should protect yourself when burning the foam due to the chemicals present, which is definitely true. The other thing is that you should protect your animals as well. If possible, preparing the boards in advance is better, as it allows for the chemicals to 'gas out'. I used to work in a polyfoam factory, and worked with my union to obtain respirators for all staff to wear (optional, as it was a well-ventilated area). But allowing at least two weeks for the foam to sit idle will release some of the chemicals into the air, and not into the air/substrate of your animals.
I love all ur ideas ur brilliant learning. A lot from u thank u for sharing
Awesome!!!
Dark Den .....professional interior designer for the more sophisticated clients!🕷🕸🕸
Love to see a time laps if posble of em making a tunnel. Great vid as usual. Maby put it on dark den two if you do have one saved somewhere.
Thanks for the Video👏😍
Me encantan tus vídeos
Sigue así bro ;)
Yesterday I was like, I wonder if Dark Den has an enclosure building video and today my prayers have been answered.
Living vicariously through you until I get my first T lol
Nice new homes for the Poeci and the gigas mommy! I think even experienced keepers can learn some aspects from such videos. Very professional to make your own background.
heck i watch these vids everyday and still dont know any of this so thumbs up for showing the basics
I dont no why i laughed so hard when u were talking to the spider about the leaf litter
That was a very cool video Petko. The first T reminded me of myself chasing my 3 year old Grandson! Lmao
This one was a really good video I really enjoyed it
Awesome!!! Hai from Malaysia
I love that Hysterocrates gigas look kinda similar like Theraphosa spec. 😍
This needs to be linked into a google search much more informative then arachnoboards!!
You should do a video on how you make the cages. Love them!
just got a h.gigas and a scolopendra alipes so happy man
btw u inspire me thanks
Man I haven't heard you play inova seamonster in ages (unless I've totally missed it). That song is nostalgic to me because it reminds me of your videos back in your apartment.
Very nice, hope to see you aquire a pond spider someday.
This a good video topic because I and also many other want to get into the hobbie.
And by the way, an updated tarantula 101 like you did a little more than a year ago would be really nice too since you have much more knowledge compared to then. Just an idea :D
awesome vid
Very interesting! Love those spiders!
Insane ! Great video man .. these guys are a whole different world from my channel and snakes lol
watching your videos help me defeating my fear of spiders
You have to show us very things you do ! We are part of the darkden bro
He's making me want to buy a tarantula
Oooo fire... Fancy
I think the bigger background would have looked super fancy with sand instead of substrate glued to it. Thanks for the inspiration.
So cool😍
Hi love your videos I was wondering where you get the labels your put on your tanks they look great
The first time I watched your videos feeding tarantulas it made me decide to buy and keep some tarantulas too..Got 1 lp 1 boehmei and 1 albo...New fan here all the way from the philippines :)
Very nice
Love your video's!! You're the best
Olso can you pls do a scorpion vid
The cutting tool is called a Stanley blade where I am from lol. Cool video 🙌
Love your videos mo matter what is it about haha
I love rehouses!
Love the video
Smooth haircut....and finally a shot of the frogs again.
Nice rehouse
You've showed us after the T tore up the plants and moved substrate. But i wanna see them do it. The way i image is just too funny!
Thank u petko if it wasnt for you my mom would have never got me these beutiful cretures
I'm early for once I'm impressed with myself lmao I love your content and this video is super useful! I'm thinking about getting into animal keeping and I've been watching your videos and plenty of other videos from other keepers for months and it's all so interesting and cool. Keep up the awesome videos!
Nice. I will do my.enlose same sa you did.
I am waiting for gbb slings to become available again. I cant wait!
Would you consider doing a care/enclosure guide for jumping spiders please?
