As much as I enjoy watching you interact with the critters in the Dark Den, watching you make enclosures is equally as fun! You've made some really neat ones. And watching the last one fight the straw! Wow! I was waiting for her to take the whole straw into the enclosure with her! Thanks for the video!
@Goddess Sky snap...me too, my fear is still there but not overwhelming anymore. I like the idea of owning one, however like the original poster said...I think watching petko is good enough
This channel and others like it introduced me to tarantulas as pets, and now I have 8! I used to be terrified of spiders but I'm gradually getting over it! The more time you spend observing their behaviour and learning their ways, the easier it gets! 😊 They're wonderful pets, easy to look after and amazing to watch 💖
You are so sweet to your beautiful pets! I think your the best T youtuber out there with Deadly Tarantula Girl and Exotics Lair at a close tie for second. Keep up the amazing work, Petko!!!
So I just got my first tarantula today! He is a Avicularia Avicularia! You are such a huge inspiration to me !! I cannot believe how big a normal Male tarantula actually is I have been watching your videos since you were in your apartment. I really appreciate everything you have taught me about tarantulas. Definitely going to be sending some fan mail soon!!
Hello, hello! I've been following your channel for almost half a year now. I really enjoy watching your videos and you have really shined a new light for me on for keeping tarantulas. I am currently gathering supplies for my first two slings. I can't wait to get the caribena versicolor slings and set them up!
I’ve just discovered your channels. I hate spiders, they terrify me but you are so amusing and fun and I’m even managing to look at the tarantulas lol. Thank you!
Whew that last big girl was rather fiesty, lol. She wanted to kill that straw. She was like: stupit straw I will kiwl you, get out of my cork bark😂😂. Beautiful spiders Petko.. Tyfs God bless you
I'm actually terrified of spiders but still find them very interesting 🤷♀️. But as a lady who likes nice hands, I have to say, yours are very nice! I've been watching the spiders, the comedy and enjoying your hands for over a year :P keep it up!
@The Dark Den, how about trying to buy a Bonsai of some sort and build a spider enclosure with that in mind? Just for the heck of it? Of course, no expensive Bonsai.
Look into the maple bonsai. If anything, awesome videos and beautiful scenery. Since you enjoy making new enclosures, it could be something you would also enjoy. ❤🕯
I can totally relate to the disappearing tweezers! Lol That was me tonight feeding my T's, Vinegaroon and Scorpions, I swear they run away from me every time Haha
I have a 4" P Striata, she is my first Tarantula, pokies get a bad wrap, you just have to be careful and not be distracted when rehousing or feeding. My girl spends most of her time in her cork bark hide.
For everone, who thinks there is no easier way, depending on how much bigger the new enclosure is, you can place the old eclosure/corc tube open into the new one and take it out once the tarantula left.
Hello petko big fan of yours and also collect pokies. I understand your pain and frustration when trying to capture images etc of your Pokies especially the P. Metallica’s but might have found something for you to try in 1 of your next feeding videos ? I frequently place candles around my enclosures for additional light and to my surprise it doesn’t seem to faze my pokies at all they are very active around my enclosure with the light from the candles.
I love pokies so much, favourite genus, i know ive asked a few times but you've not seen so ill ask now lol but how are the 2 Pokies i got for you? (Striata and tigrinawesseli )
I always love your videos. I got an emperor scorpion because you made it all of these animals look so interesting and it is my best friend I hold it all the time and never tries to sting or pinch ever it even sits on my chest and watches movies with me
Omw P. fasciata..😯 going to have to update the wishlist.. But after seeing this, I realized I have to step up my enclosure aesthetic game quiiite a bit first.
Hello Dark Den. I'm a biology student. I want to work with spiders for my thesis project. I want to explore some biomedical uses for spider silk. So the problem is that I don't know how to take it. Do you know that is it safe to simply remove a spider web without affecting the spider leaving them in nature, or should I capture some to have a source to harvest the silk. You have some experience with those fantastic animals. I hope you read this message and give me some advice.
Perhaps in arboreal species they do not like heading up as they feel vulnerable after molting or after not feeding for a while? Maybe a larger thorax helps the spider to jump or give a more powerful strike...so maybe they dont feel like they are equipped for life in the canopy as there are more dangerous predators the higher you go..such as birds or bats?
*makes new house for spider to live happy life*
Spider:
I want the Straw instead
she likes the color
gib sträw.
@darkden should of shown us any fang marks in the straw, any venom too?

Your channel is the closest I get to owning a arachnid

These spiders bring me immense amounts of fear... But i cant stop watching these
14:00 its all fun and games tell the pokie pokes back XD
lol...That one spider was like "Eff your straw!"
The start was so funny.
Dealer: YOU LIKE POKIES? ... I SHOW YOU SOME POKIES :DDD
ME: WHOA SHOW ME :O
Oh that straw is convincing her of something, alright.
love how you use an open sharp blade to compact the soil lol
I noticed that too. Just glad he wasn’t holding it the other way round !
Yup, fingers on the blade edge and everything! lol
Lol for real
he he he :D
@@TheDarkDen brooo we cant have you chopping your fingers off or hands, we wouldnt get anymore dark den videos
Poke: Let me and my old corkbark have some haba haba time
Beautiful enclosures. You make them look so easy.
WOW!!!! They are so beautiful, amazing colors.
You are so sweet to your beautiful pets! I think your the best T youtuber out there with Deadly Tarantula Girl and Exotics Lair at a close tie for second. Keep up the amazing work, Petko!!!
Really hoping to see the rehouse of your Linothele Megatheloides ! :)

xD I laughed so hard when you almost destroyed the enclosure with that flower pot at 2:42
That first pokie is blending with the corkbark so amazingly 😲!
I referenced the same meme while looking for something today! Also, made me laugh when you repeated “for the texture!” Love your vids :)
These r my FAV. Vids! I will NEVERRRR get enough of them.

Thank you!
I just can't fathom how lovely you are man
Another great video! I think that last encloser would look a lot better if you moved the vents to the side panel and put a new clear door on it😄
These tarantulas are living the good life hehe
I have mental health problems and I love watching you helps me a lot thank you
I love your rehousing videos, and your feeding videos, and your time lapse videos... Honestly, I love all your videos :) Gorgeous tarantulas!
She was using the convincing straw on you.
I love your enclosures with real plants. Great idea
My answer to what the enclosure needed was "a Tarantula"
Close enough :P
Literally mine too haha
Great video! Also, really like the thumb nail image. Museum lighting is the best.
New nickname for this spider... "Straw-biter" so we can remember her
Or strawberry :)

Yes! That would be so cool!
Not sure how they would handle conditions in enclosure but it would be an interesting concept
Look into the maple bonsai. If anything, awesome videos and beautiful scenery. Since you enjoy making new enclosures, it could be something you would also enjoy.
❤🕯
i loved the sound efffects
Don't forget to glue that piece back lol awesome vid....
You are doing awesome videos petko 🍺 really enjoying them
I can totally relate to the disappearing tweezers! Lol That was me tonight feeding my T's, Vinegaroon and Scorpions, I swear they run away from me every time Haha
What's better than a pokie rehouse?!?! Three pokie rehouses!!!! 💪😂👍😎🤜🤛 Look forward to this one petko 🤓 stay safe bud!
Aww Petco I love how you mentioned that you don't always forget your outro 🤣👌your a legend!!!
great channel and always beautiful Ts. thanks for sharing ✌️
The last one was hell of a stubborn T, loved how she was wrestling with the straw.
Watches the first two rehousings: "Your spoods are so docile and well-behaved!"
Reaches the third: "...neeeeever mind."
By the end of these rehousing videos, I want to move into the enclosures...they look Great!
i love you and your tarantulas! 🕷️
This video was great as usual petko.
Loved to see the damage to the straw lol
I love watching your videos. They are so entertaining!
Lol....I thought for sure she would take that straw with her! Lol...😂🕷
i absolutely love your spiders
I have a 4" P Striata, she is my first Tarantula, pokies get a bad wrap, you just have to be careful and not be distracted when rehousing or feeding. My girl spends most of her time in her cork bark hide.
Wow Dark Den Amazing Set Up For Sure Love Thoses Spiders .. Thanks so much love it
Very good rehause video P!
Thank you for telling us whose done the challenge
Such beautiful spiders
Beautiful Enclosures ❤❤
every time he adds sand, he turns more and more into salt bae
For everone, who thinks there is no easier way, depending on how much bigger the new enclosure is, you can place the old eclosure/corc tube open into the new one and take it out once the tarantula left.
They're so beautiful
Fantastic video, the straw fight did make me laugh 😂
Hello petko big fan of yours and also collect pokies. I understand your pain and frustration when trying to capture images etc of your
Pokies especially the P. Metallica’s but might have found something for you to try in 1 of your next feeding videos ? I frequently place candles around my enclosures for additional light and to my surprise it doesn’t seem to faze my pokies at all they are very active around my enclosure with the light from the candles.
I love pokies so much, favourite genus, i know ive asked a few times but you've not seen so ill ask now lol but how are the 2 Pokies i got for you? (Striata and tigrinawesseli )
They are good, just poecing around :'D
@@TheDarkDen yay!! good to hear, thanks for letting me know
You made a deal with that spider but didn’t give give her a roach. No wonder she was pissed.
Holy crap she was pissed...
I always love your videos. I got an emperor scorpion because you made it all of these animals look so interesting and it is my best friend I hold it all the time and never tries to sting or pinch ever it even sits on my chest and watches movies with me
Can't watch with sound when I'm at work. UA-cam automatically generated subtitles changed poecilotheria to pizza terrier... Still worth watching 😂
😍I love love love Pokies, getting a P.Faciata🤤 on wednesday cant wait!
Yet again Marko loved your video amazing as usual totally enjoy your videos and the pockies lol
Do I like pokies? You bet I do! ♡ Great video as always Petko. :)
Edit: So sad the last Ghost Mantis died, but she was fun to watch grow. ♡
Omw P. fasciata..😯 going to have to update the wishlist..
But after seeing this, I realized I have to step up my enclosure aesthetic game quiiite a bit first.
I love your videos and most of all I love your accent. Your always so happy 😊
Love your videos
You helped me get over my fear of spiders and I am getting a spider soon
Dark den marathon ❤️
More substrate! Petko's version of "more cowbell!" Lol You should patent that saying! 😁
I just woke up so when you said "drainage layer" I thought you were talking about Exotics Lair and heard it as "drainage lair"
They're so pretty. 😊 The last girl though, wow. Lol
Loved it!!!
Really cool petko! I just bought 2 pokies, a Metallica and ornata!
I do love pokies, thank you Petko
Beautiful Ts!
Petko, I forget do you have any Pterinopelma sazimai? I recently got a sling and am curious if you've ever featured any.
Hi Marko, when are you going to rehouse your Linothele Magatheloides?
Looks like a persuading straw
i think i need to buy some Poe... maybe on Spring :)
i like to watch your Poecis, very beautifull spiders :) specialy Poe Metallica or Regalis :)
11:11 She's definitely not convinced 😆😆

13:25 I'm a little concerned... LOL
How do you get your springtail colonies so prolific? Do you just keep them in the container with the moistened charcoal?
More DIY enclosures video!!

Hey ya, whats the temperature in Dark den, especially near P.subfusca?
You promised her a roach, and you didn't keep up to your word!!!!! 12:40
I lied, muahahaha
Wouldn't be a tarantula rehouse video if at least one of them didn't refuse to cooperate XD
I like how you just stuff down the substrate with a frickin utility knife 🤣( 07:23 )
Lmao I really liked the energy in this one :D
Do you know the names of the plants you are using in these enclosures?
Mmmmmm perfect. Perfect. 👍👍👍
How I wish there is a cork bark for sale here in my country like yours.
