Neighbor sipping coffee by their window: *sips* Sweetie? Neighbor's wife: Yes dear? Neighbor: That spider-man is out again. He's waving a blowtorch around now. Wife: Oh my
You should take the sweet kitty home with u because she will cuddle and make u feel better. Once again another beautiful enclosure. If I was a tarantula I would want to live with the Dark Den. So many plants not much room for tarantula when they grow even a little.🌱🍃🌾🌿
I feel really bad for that house spider. It was just minding it's own, out of the way not causing trouble and then Big Rude Neighbor runs through her web. Like... poor dear.
Great video Petko. Tonight I found a spider in my room and while I’m still scared of them, the fear is getting smaller the more I watch your videos. I’m now able to remove them safely without panicking which is good. The funny bit is when the spider runs I say “bolty bolty” the same way you do and it makes me happy and keeps me calm lol. 😂
Adam Moore I actually have a spider tub now for that and I try to keep them in it overnight, putting it next to my bed when I sleep 😂 I didn’t do it with the one I found last night because it looked like it had a busy schedule.
Look at her go! The pokies can really boogie when they get moving. She just wanted to go on a little walkabout. haha What a beautiful girl and gorgeous setup...wow. I have never had one of mine raise the abdomen like that...I usually only get that from my pamphos or avics. She was totally going to poo-cannon you. That was insane! Great stuff, bud.
❤️your videos and knowledge Tom between you and Dark den you guys set me on the road to this hobby? I only wanted one T but now in 2022 I’ll be looking for my 3rd 👍
I love how...down to earth? Humble? Refreshingly ordinary? You are. The amount of times you're saying "oops, I should have done that but I forgot" or "oops, my venomous tarantula is on the loose" "AHH, my nose is killing me" Aha it's nice to see someone who, like us, isn't perfect and is just sharing what he loves rather than being super preachy or not talking about the times when they mess up aha
OH MY GOODNESS PETCO!!! THAT IS THE PRETTIEST TARANTULA I'VE EVER SEEN!!! I'm not kidding!! I've been watching you TARANTULA guys for a little over a year and this is the prettiest spider I've seen. With one exception...yes...jumping spiders are the cutest...this is the prettiest!
Thank you Den ! I have a phobia of spiders since I was a child. But I was surprised when I came across your videos feeling attracted instead of frightened. I just keep watching your videos one after another! All are very interesting!
Ok I love the channel and one of the main reasons is to acclimate myself to a ridiculous fear of spiders but DAMN. That show had me jumping and twitching all over the place. You are a steeleyed spider curator. LOL Thanks for a great show.
The weird thing is, when I saw the housespider under your desk I was like: Oh no, there is a spider please kill this beast. And when I saw your tarantula I was like: Oh look at that beautiful creatur. So pretty. (Sorry for my bad English I'm from German)
I love your videos! It's so nice to see someone with the love and enthusiasm that you have for keeping these fantastic creatures. I find your feeding videos very relaxing. I've had an avic fire poo at me. It was very impressive. I performed a manoeuvre like something out of the 'Matrix'. :oD
HOW LOVELY THAT REGALIS WAS! :o Ive always thought that pokies are motherforkers kinda like OBT, it turns out that they are just a bit walky 😂 Great video!
thankyou Petko. you are now my bedtime viewing! love your spiders although I'm not brave enough to own my own, apart from a daddy long legs spider called Ronald that lives in the bathroom!!! love the commentary, love how informative the videos are, thankyou thankyou thankyou x
Petiole, I don’t mean to disparage any other arachnid UA-camrs, but after watching many, you seem to have the best relationships with your pets. You get so few bolts, and so little aggression from your pets. You seem to radiate a genuine calm affection which I think they-even with their tiny nerve ganglia-can sense. Several other UA-camrs are always hopped up on adrenalin and anxiety-type neurotransmitters, and their arachnids are similarly anxious, skittish, and bitey.
Got an idea for measuring the pokies or generally any tarantula. Take that long catch cup you used for the P regalis and apply a centimeter scale to it using a black marker. Maybe even find a longer cup so they can go full stretch. That way you have a general idea of how big the T is. For terrestrials, just apply the markings to a clear empty box across the full length and put the T in. :)
okay. so I see you have the greenbotle blue on your page ,, can you maybe help me find one.,cause I live in south africa and not. one petshop. here has one ?? where can I get ot. order or ship or something haha
@@markokemp8244 Oof, I don't know how the shipping regulations are in Sa. Since I don't own any tarantulas (yet), maybe check out the forums at arachnoboards.com Maybe you'll find another keeper from SA there, who can help you better when it comes to accquiring a GBB. If you can find a local breeder on there, all the better and all the cheaper for you.
Your awesome man & I loved the video as always. I really like the quick bit of how you do your own enclosure I thought it was pretty cool. An I hope you get better soon my friend. Well wishes dark den
I think you are a really great guy to make this video, even though I can see you feel terrible. Happy New Year!!! And I hope the best for you and yours. Tim
This kind of content is what switched me on to your channel in the first place. Think its epic you take the care, and time to make your own enclosures. Great video man! :)
Get a black marker pen and draw a 1 cm square grid on the outside of the bottom of a clear square or rectangular container. Put the tarantula on the table. Put the container over it. Look straight down and count the squares. Accurate measurement with no risk of escapes.
To make the glue stick better scuff the glass and plexi with some 80 grit sand paper in the spot where the glue will be applied. This will give more surface area for the glue to bond with. And clean the glass well after scuffing.
i used marine safe silicone to stick mine to the backdrop, took like a week for it to set (said 48 hrs but i wanted to be sure of no fumes for 0 chance of it harming my T) my togo starburst loves it, appreciate the idea :P
Still enjoying the channel & great content, u have some of the most beautiful tarantulas I have ever seen. My favorite is still the electric blue soooooooo beautiful. 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
A good way to try to improve the adhesion of the Plexiglas hinges and the glass would be to scratch up the surfaces of the parts you're going to glue before you do it with some sandpaper or something similar to increase the amount of surface area and non-slippery material for the glue to grab on to
Tarantula: "h00man what was in the roach you gave me last time? My belly is rumbling... leave me alone! uh oh... where is the toilet here? OMG out of the way I need to go on the toilet! I can't hold it much longer where is the damn toilet?! Oh boy it's coming out fast.....aaaaah better... really?! You film a spider while she poops? What's wrong with you? So, what's the plan?"
*Tarantula: Ima go out for a walk Dark Den: Noo girl I have to measure you Tarantula: Here ok lemme get under the table so I'm in measuring position 😆😆*
Hey Petko, maybe it's a good idea to print out your logo and glue it to the back of your enclosures 😃 It would look a lot better than the styrofoam ^•^ Awesome video, lovely to see your designs and I hope you feel better soon!
You need to make a measuring enclosure, like a box with a rolling mat on the bottom like i use in baking, its got measurments on it and you can line the sides of the enclosure with rulers on each side. Then again i know nothing about spiders except what i see here so maybe it wouldn't work? Just a thought.
That house spider that was under the table was just like OMGWTF HELPPPPPPPPPP!
That's a cellar spider, and they are actually known for hunting other spiders. Just not ones quite that big.
@@jic1 no definitely not that big that pokie would have made a SNACK outta that cellar spider lol
Neighbor sipping coffee by their window: *sips* Sweetie?
Neighbor's wife: Yes dear?
Neighbor: That spider-man is out again. He's waving a blowtorch around now.

You know it's a great video when he pulls out the FLAMETHROWER

Best thing on monday is the new The Dark Den Video!!!
Yep
Im watching this a year later on a sunday evening, thank you for giving me something to look forward to on Mondays Petko
Great video Petko. Tonight I found a spider in my room and while I’m still scared of them, the fear is getting smaller the more I watch your videos. I’m now able to remove them safely without panicking which is good. The funny bit is when the spider runs I say “bolty bolty” the same way you do and it makes me happy and keeps me calm lol. 😂
Next time you catch one in a cup, look at it closely and spend some time with it before releasing. Your fear will be gone in no time.
Adam Moore I actually have a spider tub now for that and I try to keep them in it overnight, putting it next to my bed when I sleep 😂 I didn’t do it with the one I found last night because it looked like it had a busy schedule.
I like making little gremlin sounds when i see tarantulas run
I think you forgot the cleanup crew in the second enclosure 😅
Anyway great video as always!
I never get tired of your videos. It's always fascinating to watch your tarantulas.
Look at her go! The pokies can really boogie when they get moving. She just wanted to go on a little walkabout. haha What a beautiful girl and gorgeous setup...wow. I have never had one of mine raise the abdomen like that...I usually only get that from my pamphos or avics. She was totally going to poo-cannon you. That was insane! Great stuff, bud.
It full on looked like she was aiming a canon with how she moved her abdomen! "Make one more move Petko and I'll shoot" 👀
The Man, The Myth, The Legend... Tom Moran has arrived! lol
I listen to all your podcasts, Tom. Keep up with the good stuff.
❤️your videos and knowledge Tom between you and Dark den you guys set me on the road to this hobby? I only wanted one T but now in 2022 I’ll be looking for my 3rd 👍

You don’t need to apologise for being ill my friend, we’ve all been there. At least your still uploading for us, and we appreciate it.
I look forward to ur videos every week! Its honestly made me feel so much calmer when dealing with our Ts. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!!!
Wow. Great video. Spiders usually freak me out. But, I can't get enough of your channel. It's fascinating.
My heart rate increases dramatically every time a tarantula runs from you. So Exciting !!!!
I love how you set up their enclosures, they're so nice and much nicer to look at than the typical plastic box with some dirt in like others do.
I know the feeling, got sick before christmas day, still feeling the effects. Hope you get well soon Petko. Love how you make your enclosures
Thank you Den ! I have a phobia of spiders since I was a child. But I was surprised when I came across your videos feeling attracted instead of frightened. I just keep watching your videos one after another! All are very interesting!
I'm terrified of spiders, but I really like the enclosures you build for your creepy crawlies
I love how you work with the nature of the animal, and the situation as it evolves. In a fairly short. time you find your way home. Beautiful.
Funniest video of the Chanel in a while. Good enclosures (not only plastic tubs) and pookies running away. 👌
Ok I love the channel and one of the main reasons is to acclimate myself to a ridiculous fear of spiders but DAMN. That show had me jumping and twitching all over the place. You are a steeleyed spider curator. LOL Thanks for a great show.
great handling of Poecilotheria! I feel they sense how calm you are, so they'll behave the same - worked for me everytime so far!
Keep on going :)
That’s more like a flamethrower then a blowtorch lol
Definitely makes me want to go get one lmao
𝕐𝕖𝕤 𝕝𝕠𝕝 𝕚𝕥 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕤! 😁👍
I love building enclosures. One of my favorite parts of the hobby.
I love the time jump! I don't i can wait a week or so for an exclosure to be done. I love watching the dark den ( hey mitza )
The weird thing is, when I saw the housespider under your desk I was like: Oh no, there is a spider please kill this beast. And when I saw your tarantula I was like: Oh look at that beautiful creatur. So pretty.

I'm terrified of spiders , but I can't stop watching. Great videos.
Love the enclosures! The DIY aspect of the hobby is really something enjoyable. ^^ Now get well soon, Petko.
Europe: Where anyone can have a mini flame thrower without consequence.
it's cute how you show the cat from time to time.
It's like you're roasting marshmallows but with styrofoam blocks instead...brilliant!.
These girls are so pretty!
Omg that panicking house spider is so me in any social situation.😂

helo. may I ask you something
@@markokemp8244 Ask away!

Amazingly beautiful T's Petko!!! Great job on the enclosures to. Tyfs God bless you
all your enclosures are so beautiful..awesome job!
I don't know what com i can make so, always a pleasure to see your videos !
You make Mondays and Fridays rock!
I think it's very good to handcraft as many terrarium equipment as you can so you don't have to spend a lot of money for them.
Whenever you do something exciting like poking the T, you laugh like a mad scientist who is doing something crazy. love it
Stressful? Nah, you really did a wonderful job on the rehouses!
I think you are a really great guy to make this video, even though I can see you feel terrible. Happy New Year!!! And I hope the best for you and yours. Tim
That enclosure is beautiful. This is one of the fun things of T keeping, making cool homes xxx
Awesome video as always petco loved seeing your pokies running around that was great👌👌👌👌👌
Get well soon Petko! I hope you sell your custom enclosures one day! maybe even just the pieces as a kit!
It would be pretty cool if you could pull off putting a little enclosure under the table where she escaped 😂
This kind of content is what switched me on to your channel in the first place. Think its epic you take the care, and time to make your own enclosures. Great video man! :)
Damn Petko coming out like a boss with the blow torch!
I love the way you decorate the enclosures, very pretty.
That poor house spider just had the fear of god put into it.
You're very creative with your enclosures Petko. Nice Video
crazy how im watching this with niagara falls coming from my nose and a roll of toilet paper beside me too lmaooo
love ya videos #feelbetter
Of course the spider was distressed, a hairy giant just ran into his/her house and made a mess.
Get a black marker pen and draw a 1 cm square grid on the outside of the bottom of a clear square or rectangular container. Put the tarantula on the table. Put the container over it. Look straight down and count the squares. Accurate measurement with no risk of escapes.
Bwahaha that cricket noise got me paranoid that I had some lose in my apt 😂😂😂
To make the glue stick better scuff the glass and plexi with some 80 grit sand paper in the spot where the glue will be applied. This will give more surface area for the glue to bond with. And clean the glass well after scuffing.
You've made beautiful enclosures. I bet the girls love them.😊
Great video bro...those are some gorgeous pokies! Hope you feel better soon!
Interesting as always Petko. :D Thank you!
This is the only channel I have set to notify me when there is a new upload.
Ur enclosures always turn out so good and look beautiful in the end.
Giant spider running around my house----nope. nope, no f*cking way.
The first few seconds is what happens im my nightmares
Hot whiskey with lemon, honey and cloves. It'll sort that cold right out.
i used marine safe silicone to stick mine to the backdrop, took like a week for it to set (said 48 hrs but i wanted to be sure of no fumes for 0 chance of it harming my T)
my togo starburst loves it, appreciate the idea :P
Hello Petko, Greetings from Poland, I love Croatia. Loves your videos, so many things to learn. ;)
15:15 time to go into downward spider lol thats pretty badass 💜💜💜
They got so big I’m glad they got a bigger home they definitely need it and it looked really cool can’t wait to see what you do next time ❤️❤️
haha my heart stoped for a moment lol Love the real plants in the set up sending you lots of January hugs from southern Sweden 🤗
Mighty fine spider wrangling there pardner.
Still enjoying the channel & great content, u have some of the most beautiful tarantulas I have ever seen. My favorite is still the electric blue soooooooo beautiful. 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷

Hahaha i loved how the escapes just kept on going
Awesome enclosures and great rehouses.
I love these videos. Thanks!

Thanks to your channel im now the proud owner of a nico curly hair! best channel on youtube!
I always like before I watch, thanks for the content ♥️
You forgot the springtails in the 2nd enclosure! Thumbs up from me, great videos.
When you want them to come out,they stay in and when you tell them to go in they stroll around :D ,P.S get well Petko!
DIY goals just for life in general 👍🏻
P. Vittata looks nice but P. Regalis looks REALLY nice
YES!! Finally, he’s going to replace the crappy enclosures
I really expected that poop to hit the fan!
Haha the Daddy Long Legs was like "Back off!"
Tarantula: "h00man what was in the roach you gave me last time? My belly is rumbling... leave me alone! uh oh... where is the toilet here? OMG out of the way I need to go on the toilet!

you realize that house spider i think its a caller spider, can actually kill a tarantula with one bite
