The Dark Den omfg LOVE your videos!!!! I got soooo excited when I saw that you made a new video! I only discovered your channel yesterday but im already subscribed and I bingewatch your videos! Thank you for making the videos, they have helped me allot with my phobia of spiders!!
Here is a tip about your crested gecko from someone who breeds and raises them. After giving them time to adjust to their cage I would personally put my hand in the cage and if he runs away let him. Eventually he will get used to you and he may start climbing on your hand or interacting with you more. Once he is used to your hand you can hold him and do the hand walking technique like you were doing. My first crested gecko (flicker) took a few weeks to get used to me now all I have to do is open his cage and he runs to come out and see me. Another crested I have (scortch) throws a temper tantrum if somebody else tries to hold her. She makes a wine if I'm holding her and someone tries to take her from me lol. Just give it time and eventually they will ease up to you hell he may even come to you when you say his name like flicker does! Anyway thats my two cents thanks for the amazing video like always!!
Petko, firsts off, awesome video as usual, when do you not make a great video? Second, I keep many reptiles, 2 of those include 2 female crested geckos. To tame your geckos down you need to handle it more. 10 minutes every other day or so and eventually it will get used to you. Their bites don't hurt at all, even as adults. You just need to work with your little beauty :)
Hey Petko, I love your video's I have been wacthing you for a few month now. I buyed my first spider because of you now I have 3 spiders and 1 snake and I started my own channel. Thanks for all the great video's that made me begin this.
I watch your videos religiously mate. I look forward to them all week, when I’m not caring for my own collection. (Up to 15 now) also picked up a P. ornata at the last expo near me and it molted in less than 2 weeks! I can now fully appreciate the colors on them. Better than expected in my opinion. Cheers Petko!
your videos are always fantastic! By watching your videos it lessen my Arachnophobia and at the same time i started to appreciate them. And, i bought a tarantula “grammastola pulchripes” thank you for the knowledge, now i know how to take care of them.
fab as always i cant wait what pets u will be putting in those new enclosures its gonna be sooo epic :D and always soo nice to see a different vid from the last ones u are the best ever
Loving all the content you upload for us to enjoy. Have you tried putting food in your hand so the gecko doesn't just want to move on. Might also help it getting used to being handled by something 100x it's own size :) And was i the only 1 keeping an eye on the inclosure Petko had behind him without the top on. Im mildly arachnophobic and always had 1 eye watching if the spider would go exploring, eventhough it just got food.
Aw, man, I can relate. I had a wild caught wolf spider (Rabidosa punctulata) who was a mature female. I only had her for about 3 months, and she died on Valentines Day. I'm sorry for your loss. :(
OBT was the first tarantula I ever got, it was a CFR morph so the orange was vibrant. After that I got 5 more! 😅 Really amazing species, with lots of attitude haha I used to have a vast collection but only have my G. rosea. Going to start collecting again, picking up a large 6inch L. parahybana next week! Hail from Malta! We're not very far! Keep up the good work I really love your videos and you were a main inspiration when I was starting out
The more handling they have the tame down, its needs to be regular and if you leave it a while they get all jumpy again! Mine was the same when I got him so don't worry!
First off great video, I am a long time subscriber and knew this channel was going to be good even when you were talking in your language when I understood none of it lol. 2nd to the ppl who disliked this video? Why do I have a feeling that you are also a tarantula channel and ur jealous cuz your not as creative, likeable, successful, I can go on but you get the point. Can't wait for next vid!
Hey Petko ^^ awesome feeding video again ( like always) I have never owned any species of tarantula but I a lover of all animals so maybe somewhere in the near future I will ( after I have studied about them a lot of course 😋) at the moment I own 5 species of walking stick insects, 2 species of millipede, 2 species of mantid and a whole bunch of little caterpillars of the species Samia Ricini 💙 oh and If I can give you a suggestion for the future: you should get a predatory katydid ^^ I love those guys had them myself too for some time. Already looking forward to your next upload! 🕷🦋🦂💙
What I have always done with getting a new reptile has been to interact with them for at least 10 to 20 minutes a day, very gentle slow touches. Another thing that helps is when they're set up to jump like that keep tilting your hands so they have to keep climbing instead of having a steady place to jump from, try not to enclose them in your hands like that it puts so much stress on the gecko and can make this process so much more difficult. My fire skink was like your gecko I have these blankets I sit in the floor and let her burrow and play in them it takes about a month but now she loves being handled and has picked my chest as a napping place 😂
Hi got an idea for you when your transferring your spiders and slings to new enclosures .get a big cardboard box .open the top and cover with see through plastic .glue washing up rubber gloves through holes in the front like they do when handling nuclear waste .if the spiders bolt they will still be in the box with no way of escaping , it's worth a try .
My beardie used to be super skittish when I handles him, he still is when I set him down on like my bed but hell chill when I set him on my chest or shoulder, I think it just takes time for them to get used to your scent and moving around. If his cage is movable maybe put it next to you on the couch when your chilling or making videos so he gets used to you moving around and your voice
How long does it take you to feed your entire collection? Do you have some kind of schedule you use to keep track of which animals need to be fed on which day? Really enjoy your channel, high quality content and one of the best tarantula/invertebrate channels on youtube.
Another informative episode, you should do some husbandry videos marko as a very new keeper I would love these!! I received a female gbb on Friday and she seems happy enough but a small worry I have is she seems to be spinning her web, going through the motions but there is no silk coming from her??? Should I be concerned about this and does anyone have any insight they could offer me please???
I'm curious, have you ever considered saving up to get a high speed camera? I think feeding videos would look really cool in slow motion :) no idea how much they cost, though.... I'm just curious if you ever thought about it
Hi Dark Den!! I've always liked tarantulas but watching your videos has made me want to get my own! My sister's bought me a Curly Hair(forgot the scientific name //I'm sick with a cold) and named it "Spooder" :) It just had its first molt as well! Thanks for making awesome videos of tarantulas ❤️
In my mind I said eleven but my mouth said seven xD
The Dark Den omfg LOVE your videos!!!! I got soooo excited when I saw that you made a new video! I only discovered your channel yesterday but im already subscribed and I bingewatch your videos! Thank you for making the videos, they have helped me allot with my phobia of spiders!!

Great Content Always.. keep up the great work!
Chips needs to get used to the area, all will be fine in a few weeks 😁😁
Cool video!😇
Great video as usual, also Chips would be ok with being handled if you handle him more often. Chips will get used to you over time.
Hello petko, my Aphonopelma Seemanni has arrived!!!

Next time you make an update video could you put the names of and time stamp in the description please? love your vids, keep up the good work!!!!
Aww poor Chips!!
Hi got an idea for you when your transferring your spiders and slings to new enclosures .get a big cardboard box .open the top and cover with see through plastic .glue washing up rubber gloves through holes in the front like they do when handling nuclear waste .if the spiders bolt they will still be in the box with no way of escaping , it's worth a try .
Loved it....... my only complaint is, the video's not long enough!! :)
Loved the video as allways, gonna get a tarantula soon.
Hey Petko, have you ever considered expanding your collection of mammalian species or even doing more videos with your mammals?
I love all your vids! There so amazing and interesting!
Nice vid es always, like the dnb track in the background
My beardie used to be super skittish when I handles him, he still is when I set him down on like my bed but hell chill when I set him on my chest or shoulder, I think it just takes time for them to get used to your scent and moving around. If his cage is movable maybe put it next to you on the couch when your chilling or making videos so he gets used to you moving around and your voice

Good video mate! My daughter and i are going to send some stuff from australia to you!

Please make a video of the Caribena versicolor rehouse😍😍😍 I want one soo bad!! What temperature Do you keep your spiders?
LOL at the “why can’t we be friends” in the background hahaha
Hey Petco!! Handle Chips only a little bit each day or every few days, when he gets fast/jumpy pop him back, my gargoyle gecko bit me at the start x
What a great video!!! I always wanted to ask you : how many venomous / poisonous spiders / scorpions are there in your amazing collection?
Can you do a roach how to care video? I always use to struggle with them and bought them in large quantities for my citrus tiger bearded dragons.
Good old can of Kőbányai beer! Did you get it from Budapest when attending Terrapaloza?
How old is ur c. versicolor?
I love how they change their color - mine is still blue :)
Yes! Another feeding vid 😁
Love u den ! 💙💙
You should start a website were u could sell the enclosures that you make, decorated and all
I'm curious, have you ever considered saving up to get a high speed camera? I think feeding videos would look really cool in slow motion :) no idea how much they cost, though.... I'm just curious if you ever thought about it
Hi Dark Den!!
I've always liked tarantulas but watching your videos has made me want to get my own! My sister's bought me a Curly Hair(forgot the scientific name //I'm sick with a cold) and named it "Spooder" :)
It just had its first molt as well! Thanks for making awesome videos of tarantulas ❤️
Why you bit me?! Hurts my feelings! Chipssss!!! Haha your awesome dude
Dark den shout out from Philippines
Keep up the great work
"He bite me I mean bit me why you bit me" love ya dude
Have you ever considered buying a African Red Trapdoor Spider? If you do, I would love to see a feeding video.
Your babies are the CUTEST.
I wouldn’t worry one of my crested geckos was a nightmare but I just waited and in time he got much better
