Hi Petko, this was absolutely awsome video, I rly love this specie and I think, that it would be cool, if u take every day 1 photo if their enclosure and than after like a month put all those pictures in 1 compilation to nicely see their work progres...
Tonda Novák that is a really great idea!! Sometimes the change is so gradual you don’t notice it looking at it, but having photos to compare can really show all the work they do & how much they grow/change!!
I dislike spiders immensely but I'm fascinated by watching your videos. Hey heart does overtime when your rehousing some of these t's. Man you have nerves of steel lol.
The #1 species on our want list! The tan and dark blue just look so good together. And that enclosure is just fantastic! Great job on a massive rehouse!
I don’t own any tarantulas or even plan to but somehow I keep coming back to see your videos. They’re really awesome man and they help me learn on something new you’re possibly one of the best youtubers out there keep it up!
The Dark Den cant you get a old camera or phone and put the time laps at 1 or 2 frames per hour and leave it in the charger and let it record for a week or longer
Jim Dingemanse that is really inconvenient for him to do lol but the time lapse itself was a good idea, Id want to see that too but only if it didn't require leaving the camera on for a week or longer at his expense. At best I could see him showing us their progress in separate videos
Man I love your videos. Definitely got me and my roommates all researching tarantulas for over a month lol. Please keep updating on these colony of spiders I never knew you could house multiple spiders like that
This is the 3rd video of yours I've watched and I'm addicted to your enthusiasm I have the same for other things but you are way more interesting! Thanks for the super quality!
Hey man, this will be random but I feel important. I've always been into animal keeping, & always got bored with the typical ones, & had always loves all these critters, but stereotypically never got to because of my location & the common factor of others being afraid or whatnot! But after things unfolded into our current circumstances I randomly crossed your channel 1st, & it wasn't just the animals that caught my attention, it was your enclosures, your information, & all around just fun to watch where I only had mantis I found randomly. Fast forward a few months & I have 4 T's (sling-juevinile-sub adult) 6 true spiders, mantis, & a juvenile emporer scorpion looking forward to my 1st expo! I have had many hobbies, & very broad spectrum of study, but this is truly on a different level for me with the hobby as a whole & I honestly can't thank you enough, & all the others I watch & talk to started from you, & my 1st online order came from your recommendations & got a beyond tiny giant brazilian white knee with I know you have as well. I asked about my harder to find pink toes & you made a video with the Avucularia's, & mentioned mantids & you did a video with them too! Lol I remember thinking right off "oh yeah, I've always wanted my own tarantula, but why would people get more then 1-2 let alone so many? That's pretty cool" .....lol now I'm well aware of the answer to that! Unique exotic pets that aren't common like other pets, but we get to create their display enviroment, & have living breathing collectors items that give back what you put in. I just wanted to relay the impact you & your videos of your collection had with me, & I saw last night that if you could have a difference like that with people getting T's, and/or getting over fearing them you liked to hear about it, so I decided to type this out for you! I've spent the last year in he'll with most of my hobbies being dumped on by shitty selfish people who treat people like crap & abuse them for sport too afraid to answer for their own actions, & I've seen a lot from you frowning on negative people (like the animal shelter scan lol) & again in so many ways thank you! I know now without a doubt I will never not be in to this almost like I was searching for it without knowing what I was looking for! Lol anyway end rant of randomness! But 1 question, given the nature of the enclosures I've built, the ideas I have for the hobby & towards others in the field combined with my drive to collect & scientific know how I was wondering how you got into having your own channel? Did you intend to try to get to where you are? Or was it more just randomly throwing up a video & rolling with the positive responses?
YES!!! We've waited long enough for this. So cool to watch. For the table glare you should get one of those big card game playing mats but with the Dark Den logo on it.
Thank you for filming these videos for us. I know it can be crazy sometimes but you still try to make sure you get good angles and clear shots for us which would probably be too much for me to handle if I was rehousing balfouri lol Great job as always
Really nice! Glad for you and your eight-squad of little runners! You should show what they did in this enclosure in the next video. Had you considered making a time-lapse of it? It could be fun!
I really love the coloration of these guys. As soon as you captured the first one, I said to myself that those are lovely looking spiders. However, I wondered why they appealed to me so much when there are some other really unique and colorful spiders. Then my dog came over to me and I think I figured out why I immediately took to the coloration of the M. balfouri...they have very similar colors to my dogs, fawn with black mask Great Danes.
DARK DEN!! THANK YOU!! You have helped me over come my arachnophobia, so much so, that I am buying my partner his very first pet Tarantula for his birthday next month! Thank you so much for helping me (somewhat) overcome one of my biggest fears!!
I luv your videos. I have had a life-long fear of spiders so I started watching videos on youtube to help overcome this irrational behavior. I have now become fascinated with Ts & hope to have one of my own soon. Your channel is my favorite so I wanted to say "Thank You" for helping to turn my fear into fascination!! Keep up the great work you do. 😘 from the US!!
this video literally is my nightmare. I always have dreams like this where there's multiple spiders in a cage and they get loose and I'm scrambling to look for something to catch it with. I've had that dream my entire life and you just made it reality
Petko, definitivno "the King of DIY" u svijetu tarantula, predobar kanal, YT mi izbacio video prije par sedmica, ne žalim nimalo što sam kliknuo, samo nastavi tako legendo, pozdrav iz Bosne :D
For the glare off the side you can buy black board paint not only will it stop the glare of the lights but you can use chalk on it to draw or write things 😊
hi :) I have 1 balfouri sling and getting two more :) 2 will be in one enclosure and 1 alone :) these are my frist T's ever :) had my sling for 2 weeks now and I am hooked :) i have also gotten an H. pulchripes on order, a sling :)
I highly recommend you get the Black Mat Computer Desk Mat that has the world map stretched out on it. That way, you could make references to the origins :) not that anyone cant Google locations, but it would definitely look cool!
Hey Den, did your Sicarius spiders have a piece of wood or something to climb where they can mold? I got mine today and some people say you have to put a piece of wood inside where they can hang other people sayd its no need for that. Sry for my bad english.
I think that may be one of my favorite spiders to look at. They really are charming. I would like to paint my home in their color scheme....is that a strange thing to think of?
Hi Petko! I'm a long time viewer, although this is my first time actually commenting. I was wondering if you could make an update video on these guys once they've webbed up the place. I'd really like to see that!
I love your vids even though I've had really traumatic experiences with spiders of multiple species. I was bitting by a brown recluse on the back of the neck back when I was in 8th grade. Wierd thing is I didnt feel it bite but there was no doubt it was from a brown recluse. My stepdad at the time got the sac out when he got home by popping it out like it was a pimple. I was lucky we got the sac and toxins out cause all I have left from it is a defined scar probably just from the pinching of the area haha. Not sure if you have one of those spiders but Id like to see some coverage of one. Even when i see a random wolf spider in my house back then Id just freeze out of fear. I love how they look and I just am not sure why I have that reaction to em. Thanks for these great videos as they help me calm down and appreciate their beauty.
Me: Sees new vid of The Dark Den... - goes to bed to watch with mobile phone and ads because The Dark Den is too awesome and doesn't deserve Ad-Block! ;)
Awesome dude xD enjoy watching your videos, quick question are you going to keep all 8 Tarantulas or are you going to give them away to fan's or sell them?
I think they would have been less crazy inside the new enclosure if you’d given them a couple of bolt holes to hide in right away. Otherwise great job as always! Love these communal guys!
Wait this is new to me... there can be multiple in one enclosure? I thought it would be a bad idea considering they might be territorial and fight? Which species can be placed together like this like a family?
ohh wow i thought they was gonna run all over im glad that u tried to catch them and im glad all of them are alive looks so much better in the new setup :)
I still haven't rehoused mine. I'm also concerned. I had six but I've only been seeing five out at a time. Mine are in a smaller enclosure so I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out how I'm going to do it. Don't be bolty! XD Great video as always Petko.
I did the same this morning with my 5 Balfouri (i have another one but it's bigger and not used to communal) and it went fine! I was always asking how the hell you know if all 5 of them have eat?
Why so jumpy with the little ones.have they got a nasty bite.i got bite by my brothers full grown red knee and it was like a wasp sting.are those type more venomous.
Ive disliked spiders for a while, fine when I was a kid I would look for any play with spiders in the garden etc, as I've grown I became really twitchy when I see one, since watching you I realise of course mine is a natural reaction to something that moves in the manner a spider does, ok the fangs are an issue, but watching you seeing the beauty in them has help me to relax a little, if I do get twitchy or jumpy that's ok, you've done same its natural. So thanks I've now got a house spider I'd of "removed" but Boris is cool. Xx
Best part 12:18
"Ooh! Hey! HELLO!" :D
Nice to see you here
HEY!
THERE!
Exotics Lair are Malaysian.
@Hope Steele its a name in croatia
I don’t know why, but watching the tarantulas come out of their dirt webs tunnels is extremely satisfying.
John Santos yes I wish I got a burrower or heavy Webber as my pet t
I love how Petko is such a parent with his spiders, he gets angry but still smiles and laughs cause he loves them 💕
Hi Petko, this was absolutely awsome video, I rly love this specie and I think, that it would be cool, if u take every day 1 photo if their enclosure and than after like a month put all those pictures in 1 compilation to nicely see their work progres...
DO IT!!!!!
Tonda Novák that is a really great idea!! Sometimes the change is so gradual you don’t notice it looking at it, but having photos to compare can really show all the work they do & how much they grow/change!!
Whether it be a YT video or an Instagram collage you absolutely must do this!
:)
Yes!
Favorite part： 8:08 “Balfouri pile...hehe” 😂😂😂. I just find his sense of humor so funny and his accent makes it even better!! 🤣🤣🤣💛💛💛
Loving your new space so much, you can tell how happy it makes you aswell, thanks for all the amazing, pure and informative content petko.
Counting with Petko.
What i was thinking! lol
That one Reptile Channel one..twohooo...thhhhhree! 🤣🤣💖
😂😂😂
wow! I remember watching an old Balfouri rehoused video a while back. they got so big since then! Great video as always!
I dislike spiders immensely but I'm fascinated by watching your videos. Hey heart does overtime when your rehousing some of these t's. Man you have nerves of steel lol.
The #1 species on our want list! The tan and dark blue just look so good together. And that enclosure is just fantastic! Great job on a massive rehouse!
I don’t own any tarantulas or even plan to but somehow I keep coming back to see your videos. They’re really awesome man and they help me learn on something new you’re possibly one of the best youtubers out there keep it up!
I think a big piece of black velvet fabric to put over the desk would work perfectly! So glad the rehoused went as smooth as it did!
Can you make a time laps of them webbing the enclosure
they aren't that fast with it
The Dark Den cant you get a old camera or phone and put the time laps at 1 or 2 frames per hour and leave it in the charger and let it record for a week or longer
Jim Dingemanse that is really inconvenient for him to do lol but the time lapse itself was a good idea, Id want to see that too but only if it didn't require leaving the camera on for a week or longer at his expense. At best I could see him showing us their progress in separate videos
Can you, I’ll wait 👌🏾 (separately.)
Man I love your videos. Definitely got me and my roommates all researching tarantulas for over a month lol. Please keep updating on these colony of spiders I never knew you could house multiple spiders like that
Awesome. They are getting to a good size now. And a couple getting color! Wonderful set up.
YIKES! Oh my heart was beating so fast. How thrilling!
Great video....CONGRATULATIONS on a safe rehouse!
Awesome video! The new camera got some great shots of them in the enclosure, too. So cool to see tarantulas living in a community
This is the 3rd video of yours I've watched and I'm addicted to your enthusiasm I have the same for other things but you are way more interesting! Thanks for the super quality!

Aaaw I love how they run up to each other and give reassuring hugs ❤
Awesome video!! They are all so beautiful and I'm sure they will be happy in their lovely new home.
Thank you for filming these videos for us. I know it can be crazy sometimes but you still try to make sure you get good angles and clear shots for us which would probably be too much for me to handle if I was rehousing balfouri lol Great job as always

Wow, I love that set up for a communal! Can't wait to see what it looks like all webbed up! So glad to see all 8 are alive and well.
I absolutely love this enclosure with the tarantula community ❤ its really different from what we usually see! Please keep us updated on them ❤
Great video yet again. Awesome enclosures, beautiful spiders and great humor!
Thanks for the awesome video to start the week. Such a beautiful colony.
Awesome video petko, those are fast little buggers aren't they. Such an awesome set-up. Keep up the great work.
Wow! That went a lot smoother than the first rehouse, nice job!
Curious to see how they decorate their new enclosure.
Hope you include a short clip in one of your next videos so we can see how it looks.
Two of them were just shy, that's all! Great to see our lil buds showing their true colors...so to speak!
I was very skeptical of a communal setup for tarantulas, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see they are all still there!
So glad they all made it, can't wait to see how they Web up the enclosure
DARK DEN!! THANK YOU!!
You have helped me over come my arachnophobia, so much so, that I am buying my partner his very first pet Tarantula for his birthday next month! Thank you so much for helping me (somewhat) overcome one of my biggest fears!!

“You see how they’re like *DRR DRRRRR* “
Ahhh! My favorite kind of tarantula! They're easily the prettiest.
I love watching your videos they always make me happy... I love your M bafouri. I love all your tarantulas and animals
Finally! Was so looking forward to the balfouri rehouse :D
I was having a really awful evening until I saw this video. Cheered me right up. Love your vids!
Nice! Big and beautiful. Monocentropus balfori!
This is my favourite video so far, I love these little guys!
They are like a Tarantula Brady Bunch :)
Seeing that many in one enclosure is really cool and they are beautiful!!!
Love your videos and the quality. I don't know much about spiders but these arachnids are absolutely gorgeous and the blue looks stunning 💯💕👌
Really enjoyed this video. Trying to learn as much as I can before let my son get any. Wonder how you feed them with communal living?
Great video! I love the green capped makeshift catch cup! Thats such a great idea. I also like the enclosures and the t’s are so pretty!
this video literally is my nightmare. I always have dreams like this where there's multiple spiders in a cage and they get loose and I'm scrambling to look for something to catch it with. I've had that dream my entire life and you just made it reality

Omg I’ve never thought spiders could be cuter than when they are in a pile! :3
For the glare off the side you can buy black board paint not only will it stop the glare of the lights but you can use chalk on it to draw or write things 😊
So cool, Petko! I want an M. balfouri community some day.
hi :)
I have 1 balfouri sling and getting two more :) 2 will be in one enclosure and 1 alone :) these are my frist T's ever :) had my sling for 2 weeks now and I am hooked :) i have also gotten an H. pulchripes on order, a sling :)

You dont even know how happy i am to watch your video again.
Hi Petko! I'm a long time viewer, although this is my first time actually commenting. I was wondering if you could make an update video on these guys once they've webbed up the place. I'd really like to see that!
time lapse of them making their webs would be cool
Tron - that battery cant handle that long
I've gotten a C. versicolor sling and B. Albopilosum because of you and Dan! Thank yall so much
I love your vids even though I've had really traumatic experiences with spiders of multiple species. I was bitting by a brown recluse on the back of the neck back when I was in 8th grade.

I’d love an update on this new enclosure to see how they transform it!
Me: Sees new vid of The Dark Den...
- goes to bed to watch with mobile phone and ads because The Dark Den is too awesome and doesn't deserve Ad-Block! ;)
Great video!
Just a quick question though, what do spiders drink ? Because you never seem to put a water dish in any of their enclosures
terrific video! how often are they fed and how much? beautiful spooders!!!
Absolutely love M.balfouri!! Great video!!
Awesome dude xD enjoy watching your videos, quick question are you going to keep all 8 Tarantulas or are you going to give them away to fan's or sell them?
Ooooooo, I was so nervous for you! What a bunch of runners! Sneaky sneaky sneaky!
Me and my 2 year old son is watching your videos before we go to sleep. Loved this video. My son said : spider cuddles 😂❤️
I think they would have been less crazy inside the new enclosure if you’d given them a couple of bolt holes to hide in right away. Otherwise great job as always! Love these communal guys!
Congratulations on the successful rehousing! That looked like a lot of fun. ;) They'll have that cage webbed up in no time. :)
Damn they’re all so beautiful, happy all 8 came out alive!!
A wanna see an update video on that. It was awesome to see them how they make web on that. Nice set up. 👍
You should add footage of the next day or in a week to see what they have done with the new setup. Thanks
Holy shit man ! 250k ! That's deserved but it escalated so quickly !
Keep going ;)
we got a runner
HI petko, nice video....just a stupid question : where you buy this acryl terras ? and how much you pay for that...thanks
Man, I would be a nervous wreck dealing with 8 of those guys on a single rehouse. Hats off to you bro.
Wait this is new to me... there can be multiple in one enclosure? I thought it would be a bad idea considering they might be territorial and fight? Which species can be placed together like this like a family?
ohh wow i thought they was gonna run all over im glad that u tried to catch them and im glad all of them are alive looks so much better in the new setup :)

Hey, great video, I have one question about m. balfouri, I own one, can I add another balfouri later in her enclosure? Will they kill each other?
Where can I get a couple of these I've been looking everywhere but they're always slings does no one sell slightly larger ones that aren't slings ??
That pile of M.b is so cute!! Awesome enclosure
What a great video. As always captured my attention. 👍👍👍
It is so helpful that you put all the names in the video!
*spooder climbing up the plastic bottle thing*
me : wooOOoh
Thats good they all went in to their new home without to much hassle. Also i want to ask what kind of trantula is ur dream trantula?
That was awesome the communal Ts are cool and your setup looked great defiantly a great show piece🕸🕷👍🏼👍🏼😎💯
1:55 6:04 or 3 9:02 are very funny 😂😂 plus I was thinking to ask in comment where is your new camera then in the same time you show the camera , lol 😉
G. Pulchra may be the "Black Lab" of tarantulas... Balfouri are the "Siamese Cats"! So pretty....
So glad you didn't have any deaths/murders. Tarantula colonies are so cool!
This is by far the best spooder/scorpian.../others channel out there.
I did the same this morning with my 5 Balfouri (i have another one but it's bigger and not used to communal) and it went fine! I was always asking how the hell you know if all 5 of them have eat?
I remember the old one it was amazing that you caught it
I think the light probably is a little too bright, some of the footage seems overexposed, can you adjust the brightness on it?
You are, You are a star. T keeping is at best random,especially a Socotra rehouse. Keep up your stuff mate. j
Why so jumpy with the little ones.have they got a nasty bite.i got bite by my brothers full grown red knee and it was like a wasp sting.are those type more venomous.
Ive disliked spiders for a while, fine when I was a kid I would look for any play with spiders in the garden etc, as I've grown I became really twitchy when I see one, since watching you I realise of course mine is a natural reaction to something that moves in the manner a spider does, ok the fangs are an issue, but watching you seeing the beauty in them has help me to relax a little, if I do get twitchy or jumpy that's ok, you've done same its natural. So thanks I've now got a house spider I'd of "removed" but Boris is cool. Xx
