"I don´t need the company to eat chocolate." - Petko, 2019
me neither! LOL
Petko: cracks room temperature beer in private.
Croatian police drops through the ceiling: STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL!
Tarantula Haven bruh for real he’s definitely joking
@@drainmei5404 nope, can confirm
@I M It's not really illegal but it should be
Last time I was this early, Annie was still a Brachypelma
Is she okay?
haha nice last time i was this early she was still a sling :P
Annie?
Are you okay Annie?
Annie is petko's curly hair which is now a Tliltocatl
Petko: *hits camera*
Me: "stop hitting me!"
Funny joke
They didn’t go to each other when they were rehoused like the balfouris did so I’m skeptical that they even tolerate each other
Yeah I noticed that also. It's like m. Balfouris find comfort in each other.
@@beautyisjay exactly!
@@TheVictoriaMakeup Tom had to separate his N incei for suspected cannibalism. I'm leaning towards a no on this species... there are just too many failures and rules
Shawn Smith yeah it’s pretty sad they ate each other but at least we know now
@@TheVictoriaMakeup I have a facebook friend that has been doing the H gigas communals for a long time through juvies (not sure if he's gone to mature adults) and I'm tempted to try them. Pokies are still too rich for my blood and the N incei, well... yeah
Turn captions on when he does his outro to see what they say.
Today it was “Mission Square Or Another Prize Where To Buy”
with results like that it's easy to assume they aren't as communal as previously thought.
5 minutes of research will lead you to this answer as well...
They arent really communal, its more like they tolerate each other
@@naicon971 Ive kept H. incei together for close to 10 years now. Yah they certainly mostly tolerate each other but they do show communal behavior. The mothers will feed their babies for a very long time. and ive kept a colony of around 100 without much cannibalism.
@@Luke-gc9si single sac and never separated? I've heard this is the only working method
@@ssmith084 25 of varying ages from a seller who had a colony of 1000+. Never seperated but I keep them in a 60 gallon tank stacked with cork bark so tons of space.
Your video quality is so good I dont understand how other channels who wont be named have so many more subs for such shoddy vids
Indeed. I don't even watch that other channel anymore after a certain male T was unwillingly forced into a female enclosure and ended up getting eaten...
@@Jayne1971 I heard about that, but dont know if its one the channels im thinking of
"Not going to point any fingers..." 😂😂😂
Not going to say I told you so, but I said when you set these up that 15 was way to many for that enclosure. Around 7 is a good number for a communal. Love the channel!
If you have to follow so many rules in order for them not to eat each other, they ain't communal.
Accurate.
Thats bullshit. If there is not enough space, its not that they are not communal. Its just normal. If the enclousure is to small, some get sorted out until its a reasonable size/number balance
You my sir definitly have no tarantula knowledge
Honestly, given all the losses, I'd rehouse them into their own, separate enclosures :/
Like, hopefully now they'll stop cannibalizing each other but, it's not looking too bright
Same. I feel sad knowing they’re in communal setups still. Hoping for the best
Cat K ikr he’s definitely not taking the best care of them
To be fair it is an experiment, may not be good for them but it's a learning experience at least :/
Sh4dowbl4de yes true, but I still feel sad. At least many people will see this and know that it’s not a great idea
@@darkangel424cod But I mean, given the current situation, I'd render it pretty unsuccessful.
I, personally, wouldn't have housed them back together. To start with 15 and end up with less than half of both species? I wouldn't be surprised if after awhile he was left with at least one or two just fat tarantulas of each species ://
It was such a pleasure to meet you at the Brighton invert show, thanks for coming!
Im so glad the title was just "rehousing" instead of "communal gone bad" Cuz that would have been a spoiler! gj Petco!
Thanks for the spoiler... really shouldn't head to the comments lol
@@missjackson7645 Imagine reading comments before watching the video
😂😂
Cao, Petko. Vec neko vrijeme pratim tvoj kanal, zavoljela sam tarantule zbog tebe i cak nabavila brazilsku crnu. Stvarno si super i zanimljiv i zbilja se nadam da ces nastavit sa super videima. E sad, dolazim na razlog zasto ti ovo sve pisem. Imam prijatelja s kojim duze vrijeme igram igrice na ps4-u, kul lik iz Engleske. Isprve jako tih i sramezljiv ali se polako poceo otvarati, pogotovo o privatnim problemima. Puno je sranja prosao u zivotu, od tog da je bio izbacen iz kuca, oceve bolesti, bratovog autizma i jos sto drugi stvari.
Jedna od stvari koja ga drzi da doslovno ne poludi su njegove zivotinje, specificno egzoticne. Ima tarantule, zmije, gustere, zabe. Obozava pricati o njima i doslovno znas da se osmjehuje kad prica kolko ih voli. Spominjali smo i tebe i Exotics Lair kanale koje oboje pratimo, i zbilja je bio ljut kad sam mu rekla da zivim 3 sata od tebe.
Imala sam ideju da nekako osmislim nacin da ga malo razveselim, da mu mracni dan ucinim vedrijim. Jedino sto mi je palo na pamet da ovo napisem i da te zamolim da nekako pokusate komunicirati. Imam ga i na fejsu i na ps4-u. Znam da je ovo ko grom iz vedra neba i da nije bas najbolja ideja godine, ali stvarno zelim pokusati to ostvariti.
Da li bi mozda bio zainteresiran za tu ideju? Ne mora biti dugi razgovor, malo da popricate o životinjama, das mu koji savjet o cuvanju il nesto tako, i onda nakraju mu kazes da se drzi i da ce sve nakraju bit dobro u zivotu.
Znam da je ovo velika i teska zamolba, i slobodno mozes reci ne. Ali ukoliko si za, bila bi jako zahvalna, a vjerujem i on.
Ps. Sori na litaniji koju sam poslala 😘😘
Definitely one of my favorite youtubers!
Awesome meeting you yesterday 😁😁
You are one of the few things I like about monday😁
Hey petko great video love n.incie I have 2 of the gold colour form myself, was amazing to meet you at the show in Brighton thank you for your time and thank you for naming my Metallica mya has settled in amazingly 😊
It’s interesting to see deffo, I hope that these communal setups will be successful in the future because it would be sad to see more losses. Keep up the good work!! :)
Sometimes we fail. Thank you for trying and being honest with us. Wishing you better luck
I’m sure you see comments like this often, but I have to say that since I’ve started watching your videos, I find myself less freaked out as I used to be around spiders. I used to be terrified of even the smallest and now I safely trap them and get them outside than try to kill them.
Thank you for posting these videos.
Relatives watch Arachnophobia with me as a "funny thrillomedy as it was called". They all think, tarantula bites are instantly lethal, force them to look videos from this channel = profit. Ridiculous as it sounds. This channel cured my arachnophobia, thank you Dark Den, you are the Emperor of Arachnid channels in UA-cam!!!
Your a knowledgable guy, the result will not change as they get bigger.
i think the enclosure was to small for this many spiders
exactly what i thought
definitely
General_Fail he is an expert! I think he knows what he’s doing ;))
He is a man he makes mistakes
Most of his enclosures are too small.
I recently got a Incei Olive & it’s a super fast little thing! Lol I’ve been thinking of trying an communal with the Olive form, so I appreciate this video SO MUCH! ( well I love all your videos)
Much love from Pennsylvania 🕷❤️
"I don't think I will do this again" ...*continues to setup obviously failed communal* smh
Communism in a nutshell
No one, literal no one:
Tarantuals:
Fortnite Battle Royal.
😭😭
I'd love to see one of Petko's tarantulas named Giratina since the true god's distortion form
I hate that kind of comment. You can see them everywhere. One person does it, all the other monkeys do it too. Humans are so stupid.
That’s why petko doesn’t have a gf
He’d rather have his Ts
@@jobalfouri8396 but..he does have a girlfriend... He's not mike from ants Canada ...lol
Those suckers are way bigger than I expected coming out of that communal. Sucks you lost some but thanks for always showing us everything even when things don’t turn out the way you want them to!
Yay!!!!!!! I was just looking for another video of yours to watch and boom a new video 😁😁😁😁😁
I think a big part of the problem is the size of your closure I think they were too close together
Seriously completely afraid of spiders but I really enjoy your videos!💚
You might end up having a tarantula yourself sooner than you think if you keep binging these kind of videos. I was never too fond of spiders myself yet I ended up getting tarantulas because of these videos and doing research on them, and I love them. I even grew to respect and admire random spiders I find throughout the house or outside. Great therapy against arachnophobia in my opinion.
No no no! Lol
@@christineschwericke9803 Yes yes yes! :) xD
Please make a time lapse video of the one molting so we can watch it in the second Dark Den. Love what you do Petko.
@The Dark Den, An enclosure of larger variety. 70-80 humidity. Bonsai ficus (That survives indoors) then a scorpion to live with the tree.
Love you Petco!! Those tarantulas were so beautiful...but I do want a "full size" tarantula. Sorry that they didn't all survive....
9:58
The bigger the better?
Dwarf tarantulas: im small but terrible
I guess I’m happy that I’m slow at work today I get to watch your video early
Literally watched the unboxing video this morning
Omiljen si mi youtuber.Pozdrav iz Krapine
Duvel!!! Awesome!
Loving your channel so much, i ordered my first Tarantula today. Phlogius sp. - Kuttabul, i'm in Australia so i'm sadly restricted to old world species, some new worlds are suitable for import here, but it's a lot of paper work, and permits to go through to get hold of the super pretty one's like you have.
I have some tarantulas for some time now, and i really want a species that can be hold communal, but i still have biiiggg respect of rehousing from a communal setup :D
So good job :)
and great video, as always
I love how innocent he is about bark
I totally want a NEW update video on these two communals. I was hoping to see how yours played out before trying it on my own. lol.
11 left out of 30! What a shame. I hope they do better now that they've got more space. Must have been an absolute battleground in the old enclosure.
After meeting you on sunday i have now become a patreon
I love your videos! I just got my Tliltocatl Vagans sling because of your videos! Thank you! Hope you have a great day! 🙂
Do you do dabs where you are from? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING ENGLISH IN YOUR VIDEOS‼️
I think it would be neat to hear what tarantulas are called in your language next to English‼️
Much respect to you for learning more than 1 language‼️⭐️
I love this guys channel l love it hopefully I get a turantula or a scorpion soon
Best comment out of the whole video "I don't need company to have chocolate"
This ! 😂
of course you upload right when I have to go to class :/
Thanks for this video. I really like to watch and maybe learn something too :)
Tarantulas: eat each other
Petko: I see no issue with this, now continue to live together
This channel helped me deal with house spiders better. Still get extremely nervous though.
Sorry to see they didn't all make it. Glad it went very smooth though.
Awesome! 😀👍✌️
best outro ever
I have my Gold in a comunal from Sling to Adult. (From 12 to i think 4 Girls and 5 Boys ( only 1 original Left, and 2 new ones )
The guy i got them from told me to give them Much possibility to build.
Put in Twigs and Spacer to give them 3 or 4 Layers to build.
Also he told me they prey on each other if the humidity is not right.
I wish I used more protecton when moving my C. dyscolous - got it yesterday at the bug show and today tried to rehouse it and it bolted and I am unable to find it anywhere.... Bollocks.
Did you find it?
@@nowasiwassaying...1699 I did indeed, a few days later, on my floor but managed to get it into a bucket and then back into an enclosure. More recently my Haplopalma minax escaped - that was a few days worth of worry but managed to catch that one too. haha
@@Boiga. YES! I'm so happy for you lol I'm sorry you've been having T runaway drama but I'm glad it has resolved itself 😆
6:43 That one is beautiful and brightly colored!
Shame you lost some but the ones that survived are absolutely amazing and beautiful
LMAO I love the way you talk to and about your arachnids
If I remember correctly from one of your vidios you mentiond that a lot of slings dont make it as their fragile and molting process are bit tougher on slings becose of that
The "trend" indeed will continue, told ya... You will end up with mature males.
I really liked the video, but could you next time make a camera shot of all the little ones in the cups so we can see HOW big the biggest are in comparison to the small ones? would be great! :D
„Oh there is one fat booty done there“
-Petko 2019
Damn. I´ve seen once a video of you, now this is already in my recommends.
Hopefully a larger cage will yield better results
That ending though.
camera : ouch hey stop agh!
you should have done an update on balfouri communal
Hello Dark Den Awesome Video Guess That Chocolate very good as it was hard to hear you with mouth full of chocolate.. lol thanks
Best.Outtro.ever.
9:42 “tag, you’re it” 😂
I'm glad you agree with me that communals are not worth it. I hate to see any dead Ts, and my pocket book hates it as well. As you said, just stick with the M Balfouri's. They seem to be the only real deal when it comes to communals. Can someone play taps for the fallen please?
As far as i know they have to be on a very small space together since they are out of the eccsack or they will not see each others as siblings... your incei gold communal will probably vanish very soon because they have way to much space and will just start living in their own corners..its sad that they arent as communal as balfouri because they would be the only new world species that could be kept like this
I have a N.incei communal and in the start they were 9 and one died while molting. I can count the rest and they are all in a 11 x 11 cm enclosure (they are about 3 cm legspan now). I start seeing signs of agression now when they are bigger and to be honest i thought of rehousing them now all together in something bigger but i decided to separate them. Less risk and much easier to handle and see when they molt and eat. Mine are so fast and tend to run out when i open the lid that it will be easier to handle one at the time. But I am surprized that they all survived so far. They always have live dubias in the enclosure.
Maybe your fastest outro ever ! xD
You should do a large vivarium for a Heterometrus species , or emperor scorpions.
They are quite communal
the king of diy in the back hahahahah omg
I just moved my small collection home from work ( I work in a pet shop) and Im sitting here watching this and also staring at my freshly molted P. tigrinawesseli, she *crossed fingers* just got to 2" (5cm) her purples are coming in this molt :)
Do you own any trapdoors? Can you make slo mo vidz of their feeding if so? It’s a pretty awesome feeding clip
Samo sam cekao novi video
Maybe as they grew, they ran out of space.
I never heard them to be kept communal successfully after they reach certain size
I don’t know if this idea would be better or easier....put the container into whatever enclosure your moving them to, open it up and leave it for a day or two and maybe they will move out on their own
Neoholothele incei are, as far as I know, the only tarantulas that live kinda communal in nature. They tend to have their burrows not further than 10cm apart from each other and they live in colonies of several hundred Ts. I believe the biggest colony observed was about 10.000 spiders.
Could be they should have been rehoused into something bigger a bit earlier. Wasn't only one of them left so battle royale wasn't going on from the start I guess. But I don't know more than you. I was waiting for this update since I had in mind to try my own incei communal. Won't do it now :C
Glad you had chocolate to lessen the pain.
You could/should use corn starch on the sides of the box you're trying to contain them in. They can't climb up if it's slippery from the corn starch..
Most youtubers: "alright bros! Thats everything for today! If you liked todays video then hit that like button and subscribe and dont forget to smash that bell icon!"
Dark Den: "and dat iz why you dont want to put to many dubias in your enclosure. oh right datisit for todays widyo. Ifyoulikeddawidyolikesubscriblencomntbelowurfavspeciswillseeunxttimebuhba"
Petko slaps camera
-video cuts-
I thought the first enclousures were too small for the 15 of them since the begining. It might have played a roll in their behavior.
I heard somewhere that the normals was more friendly in communal setups. Or maybe it was the gold, I don't remember.
In my eyes it seems like the reason was overcrowding. Think about it, 15 tarantulas in the size they were when you rehoused them in thet tub, each individual don't have a lot of space.
I'm sorry for your loss. Let's hope it gets better in the new enclosure.
Don't worry to much, Petko. Maybe there are successful communal enclosures with neoholothele incei. But as you know, tarantulas have their own character and attitude. If there is only ONE tarantula, who doesn't like to be kept communal, than it will attack and kill every other tarantula it can reach. And this will go on until the T is satisfied with the outcome.
It's not easy to say: These are communal. The sentence should be: There are successful communal enclosures out there.
Okay so we make a coliseum enclsoure, x many rooms with x many tarantulas. If they want they can join the middle, if not they can hide in their cells, if they die, A memento mori.
Hmmm I defo agree N Incei are not communal, I was shocked only 7 remained from 15 but 4 from 15 with the gold morph??? That says it all really eh, great video and I’m very intrigued to see what happened next with them, thanks for doing this experiment, I think it’s important people know what outcome to expect if they choose to communally house this species
Pozdrav iz Krapine.Nismo mi daleko Koprivnica hahaha sve najbolje pozz
Not a big fan of spiders but your channel is interesting.
The communal could still work if they don't eat each other before they mature and start breeding. Best of luck Petko.
Enjoy your pile of cork bark. It's very hard to get it in South Africa. I haven't actually found any for sale locally.
Could you do a video of the different kinds of jumping spiders that are in the hobby? And also what the husbandry is for them?
I have been dying for an update on the metallica communal.
