*I love how you were just admiring how cool the plant was and Linda was like "oh you like THIS PLANT!?"* 🤣😂
Brilliantly said 🤣🤣🤣
"last time I totally forgot about the hairs. Doesn't happen this time."
*Grabs hide bare handed*
Please never change Petko ❤️
Linda: _Get _*_over_*_ here!_
Hahaha!! 🤣
I actually really, _really_ enjoyed the time-lapse! Great footage of a huge T just doing her thing- I wish there was more footage available just like it. It was fun to watch her explore, dig and web, and groom herself.
Bonita is stunningly beautiful! I can't wait to see her enclosure grown in like Linda's is; all the green plant life will make her stand out even more like the jewel she is!
Her grooming was so cute 🤭
@@Samson16436 Yes! Very cute! 😍 I love watching Ts simply exhibiting their natural behaviors- it's so satisfying to me to watch a well cared for, content animal comfortably existing in their own little world. 😌 All the little details are so fascinating, and often, like this video, quite cute! 😄
Omg the timelapse of Bonita exploring the enclosure and then digging and webbing tickles my fancy so much. 😍
I recently learned that you can go frame by frame with " , " and " . ", which makes the takedowns so much better.
I really like the background of Bonita's enclosure! It kinda looks like limestone, so I bet it would look really cool with some little ledges and maybe some kind of plant that would cascade down. As for the urticating hairs, I wonder if it would help to mist everything down before moving stuff?🤷♀️ Looking forward to the livestream!!
I liked it too
I love it to
Would be interesting if misting works but think people would be worried about humidity 🤔
I loved the timelapse! And Linda grabbing and destroying the plant made me laugh so much haha
The time lapse is such a good idea, that was so interesting watching her inspect all of her new surroundings and then she decided to put down a web carpet at the entrance to her new home, I would like to see that with all rehousings 👍👍👍
Love to see these 2 giants grow... Also, holy moly Linda is incredibly intimidating... Love her 😍
Oh my, Linda!!!!
Got to love Theraphosas. ♥
I like the background, it makes everything else stand out including the tarantula. Awesome vid petko 👍
Yes, it looks like a cliff or rockface. I like the lightness of it.
Linda's feeding response was crazy lol So fast, never seen a spider scoop one up like that XD
I spent summers at my Aunts in a Louisiana trailer park. Big pond filled w red water as dirt is deep brick red. And tarantulas w hundreds of holes. The residents killed the spiders all the time so pets and kids wouldnt get bit. I grew up terrified of all spiders. Didnt care if they were poisonious or not. For me to watch you handle all those spiders has me freaked out but at least I can watch your videos.
Acrylic paints are fine, that's what I use.
I'm not sure about what you have available, but most spray paints can be used but you have to wait for them to fully dry because the aerosol in it is toxic but once dried they're fine.
But I would go with acrylic paints. Safest option.
The background looks good the way it is I think. Btw don't forget to water those plants u put in with Bonita!
😂"look how beautiful this enclosure is"
Linda..only one roach!!!!
Off she goes destroying your plants.🤣
Linda tried “salad” she didn’t like 🤣
You don't make friends with salad... xD
maybe for the background you can put glue and moss or something :)
Linda had me cracking up 🤣. maybe she likes a well balanced meal. salad with her protein....even though they can't swallow actual food haha in her mind she wants some salad 🤣🤣🤣
Hi petko! Simply paint it with darker ultra fine grade tile joint mortar. It will give you the look you want, also it will develope a nice natural patina over time. Use a thick mix, it will give you a more rugged and natural look.
Honestly I like the brighter background because it’ll help when filming the spider, contrast and such lol.
Im really impressed by the "Courage" to just leave an enclosure open while being in another room.
Extra cool video to watch as I've just recently got my first T! Selenotholus Sp. Kotzman advanced sling, about 1cm body length. Only after a few days I've seen webbing around the burrow entrance, and seen it feed.. absolutely in love! Really looking forward to seeing it grow into an adorable monster like Bonita or Linda!
Yes. A lovely Australian fossorial.
And the best thing with the Kotzman. They tend to stay on top of their substrate. My girl won’t go into the ground. At least when friends come over. They can always see her. Because you never see my other tarantulas 😂
How many spiders have gotten out when you go to feed another, leaving the last enclosure open? :) Great vid and content as always! Thank you!!!
I love Linda 😍😍 she's a queen!! And both species are just stunning!!
Yes I love the gray background. It looks like stone and it makes everything easier to see!
I’m so afraid of spiders but somehow, I LOVE THESE GIRLS!
Mist the substrate down b4 moving stuff it stops the hairs from becoming airborne
You can “paint” bonitas background with natural charcoal that’s finely ground and mixed with water, may not be permanent but as long as there isn’t chemicals in charcoal it should not harm the tarantula if ingested
Love this channel man!!!!
You could probably a stain that background with Coffee to darken it up and make it look more natural
Soon I'm going to rehouse one of my tarantulas. But the enclosure needs more substrate
Absolutely loved this video it was so great to see Linda haven’t see her in a while
The first plant in Bonita’s enclosure is pothos. Pothos loves high humidity. Pothos comes in several color varieties and leaf sizes too. Pinch off stems to make it get thicker with more leaves and bushier. Linda’s enclosure has the Wandering Jew plant with the purplish color. Very easy to grow, loves humidity.
Awesome! Gotta love the bigguns!
Love Linda! Looking forward to the live Friday.
It was a joy to see linda!!!
She got so big and velvety!!!
Bonita is darker than her cousin,
They both are huge!!!👌👌👌👌
Yay, another live stream😊❤️ I forgot to say acrylic paint. Ts are OK with acrylic paint. But I like it as is. But if you wanted to, water down brown ior black acrylic paint, paint, dab off excess, that should give you light and dark areas, like model makers do😊
you mention (in past videos) the difficulty to see these diggers in their burrows.
Might you consider a change to an enclosure; put a divider into it so that one part of the enclosure is deep & the other not so deep, so that the spider might dig in the deeper side, which is a slimmer channel. so that the tunneling might pass close to the glass sides; enabling better viewing, while accommodating the spider with a deep digging area.
I love this shirt. Wish it were still available.
Liquid acrylics are safe. Just check if they put anything unnecessary into the bottles, proper producers usually put a "non-toxic" label somewhere. If you want to be extra safe, the highest quality acrylics you can get from miniature building and wargame/boardgame stores. I used Vallejo's liquid foundations.
Don't know if you read the comments but when messing with anything inside of a tarantula enclosure that has urticaria hairs, give the whole thing a light mist with water and you won't have any floating in the air.
two gorgeous ladies right there! good work petko as always!
I love watching a T clean itself. It's so cute.
Linda was hilarious hahaha, the end of the video had me laughing so much lol
I never clicked so fast!! Yes 🙌🏼
If it commands some respect, wait until its full grown...
a trick use brewed coffe and apply it with a brush it lets the rocks look older and its natural
Dude the enclosure looks sooo cool I actually love the plain color it’s very simplistic and the way u dressed it up with big leaf and dead plant thing was amazing and Bonita loved it too for sure I thought the time lapse of her checking to all out was amazing too she went up around the background and near the big leaf and definitely appreciated the work
Yayyy another video!!!
I love how happy they make you 💛
I really like the background also I think it looks like a rock wall and it's very fitting
Bonita and Linda are my favorites, i LOVE theraphosas so much!!! I can't wait to own both species one day
🤗🤗🤗super excited always love Linda videos🤣 she says my plant🤣🤣 she always ready for a hunt
Linda, destroyer of worlds!!
Linda breaking the plant killed me! She is so funny!
I'm still waiting on Bela, the Terraphosa Apophysis (Formosa would also be acceptable)
Also: I actually did like the kind of "concrete grey" sort of background. It's a nice contrast, like a rocky slope
I actually really like that background, i'd leave it the way it is!
The tile grout is available in other colours, not just white, no need for paint.
Terrified of Spiders, but love seeing them nice and cosy in their new enclosures.
I love Linda. Thank you!
Hello Perko yes it was hurting are ears lol thanks for the live love it and love your enclosure always look amazing and Bonita Linda are very happy thanks for all you do... How Is Felix love the cart too woohoo another live cannot wait
I didn't knew I wanted to see this until now
Great video Petko. Beautiful T's. Tyfs God bless you
I am definitely going to treat myself to a Theraphosa species sometime this year. It's going to be my stepping stone to old worlds after being in the hobby for a couple of years, and so far my collection only contains new world Tarantulas.
I use a product called Dry Lock, that waterproofs cement. You can add cement pigment to it, to give it color. If you mix some quickset cement, and some pigment, you can spray it on with a spray bottle too.
@The Dark Den, try Darkwash on the background. Basically, water and some water pigment mixed. Spray on, and wipe away.
Amazing spiders man very nice. Thanks for the upload. Take care. 👌👌
The plants might need extra watering to help it’s roots start up since you just cut them that might be why they die sometimes
I love the Pothos plants in the enclosures. I propagate a lot plants to have more plants, some do great and others just don’t make it. I agree the background could use a little darker color. In Linda’s enclosure, the plant in the front, the Inch plant are poisonous to cats and dogs. If you have a piece of the plant that breaks off, just stick that piece back in the sub straight, with some water, and it should grown roots. Inch Plants are very hardy, and they grow really fast.
Nice! I cant wait for the livestream!
Lmao!!!! I live for the sand! It's so awesome man.
I believe the plant is a Tradescantia aka Wandering Jew (original common name)/ Wandering Dude/Wandering Jewel. They have a zig-zag pattern to the stems (hence the name) and can come in many greens, pinks, purples w/wo white striping/mottling, and can have anything from a silvery surface to a fuzzy finish.
cant wait for you to get an apophysis. awesome vid!
Another great Monday video Petko! I love watching you do feedings and rehouses. Always looking forward to mondays and seeing what Petko will post 🖤 hoping I can catch the livestream because I love watching your videos! I hope you and your family are doing great!!
Hallo Petko. The Structure of the Background looks great. Use a Acrylic Primer and then Acrylic Paints in Artist Quality, they're more durable. Start with a dark Ground and then drybrush It with lighter Tints. Let It dry for about a Week. Bonita grooming herself looked quite cute.
Brilliant job with the time lapse, your T's got moves..😆. I love your channel, your animals are in great care.. 👏
A drill and wire brush tip you can cut styrofoam real nice and make cool Valles and rock shapes much easier then a knife but you can buy these tools its a hot wire that melts through the Styrofoam or make ur own hot wire but the drill is really easy makes a big mess but results are way better then other stuff
I'm sure you can buy a darker coloured 'tile glue' (grout?) so you don't need to buy paint
Always so happy to see a Dark Den video:)
very interested video like always salute and respect from Greece!
That new enclosure for Bonita is awesome!!!! It doesnt need to be darker at all. I love how the doors open too. She is such a smart girl and well-behaved. Went right in with no problem. You're a great Tarantula dad lol. Now into the second half of video....
Petko first of all loads of love 😅🙌 I also used the tile glue for my terrarium there are also special colorings for concrete this way you can make it red or black straightaway or try throwing sand over it while it's wet gives more structure and color as well
Love your stuff keep it going❤️
She reminded me of a cat when she was cleaning herself at the end of the time lapse :)
I think using pigments mixed with pva would be the way to go. Pigments can be got in more earthy colours which would be better.
Specimens are amazing. Felix needs a friend for his habitat.
I'll watch any videos you make live or otherwise
It's like Linda heard him talking about how amazing the plant was doing so she decided to destroy it.
Nice video! The plant looks to be a Tradescantia albiflora. I had some myself. ^_^
The other plant in Linda's home is called purple wondering jew. 😊
You don't need any paints. That's an awesome rock background.
P.s. Temporal should be Temporary. Much love
I like the background. It makes an interesting contrast to the dark brown of the substrate.
I'm not sure why I find Linda to be such a funny name for a tarantula, lol.
I love watching your feeding videos ❣️❣️
I love how far the dark den has come! Must be so awesome to have it all downstairs now.
love to see these two giants.....thanks for the vid petko!
They are 2 huge Tarantulas Petko very beautiful but also a bit intimidating lol
Nice to meet you Bonita and Linda! Nice video!
Food coloring i think you can mix into tile grouting for different colors
Super talented at building stuff
I like the background of Bonita's enclosure! I like here enclosure and Linda's enclosure Too IT was funny Too see Linda playing with the plant 😅 Nice video can't wait Too see the next video 😉👍🏻
I loved that night time, time lapse! 😂
