PETKO - Hey, Say hi to Mrs Petko. Love all your videos so thank you.........RECIPE for dealing with your Little Fly / Mosquito problem......Get a cup, put in half of Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Liquid Soap, 2 Tablespoons of Sugar.....Stir mixture + leave Cup in your Dark Den, near the Lights is best to catch them.....the Flies/Mosquitoes will love the smell + fly to it to drink, but won't be able to fly back out = Problem Solved.....Good luck.
@@fedeph665 sorry that you didn't catch my sarcasm. We live in a more divisive, racist society in today's America. I was taking a shot at that. I apologize again for the sarcasm. However, although geography is taught in our schools some have forgotten and/or failed those classes. Peace and love!
I've been thinking for awhile now, pondering why you haven't got any Venus flytraps in the Den. should be humid enough and got great lights for them as well. Ponder the idea?
Thank you, and Exotics Lair for helping me with arachnophobia. I no longer have a fear of spider's/tarantulas from both your Guy's channel's. (I'm Extremely Grateful) 🙇
We have mosquito hawks in the USA not sure what their scientific name is but that's what I've known them as. They look like prehistoric mosquitoes. They are beneficial and please don't squash them :)
Leather jacket is another name for them -edit, nevermind, a quick google search informed me that leather jacket is the larvae form of the crane fly, *neat* !
Have you ever thought of 3d printing the background part of the enclosure? You can design the background textures for it how you want, save on plexiglass, and eliminate foam use.
Hmm, I think a planted background makes more sense. Anything else would destroy the dynamic look an would be weird, an the tarantula doesn't REAAALLY care.. I mean they don't see that good at all..
@@esist2wild yeah that could work. The backgrounds are certainly not for the spiders. It is more for the keepers pleasure. I have a few of the old Exo Terra Herbospheres and they have the photographic backgrounds and they look pretty sweet when you try to blend it with the substrate inside the enclosure. If done correctly it would work well. Either that or the corkbark sheets you can get and cut them to size and stick them to the backgrounds. But they are more expensive. Especially with so many enclosures to put them in.
Ive been around since the apartment dark den and just realizing how much you have achieved in that amount of time make me happy. I'm from Ohio and ive always wanted to keep tarantulas and snakes. But you and chandler fill that void for me
I live closer to Kentucky and around here I can barely find places that will let me rent with dogs or cats. If I bring a big as spider im just asking for an eviction
maybe you could still use the carved Styrofoam background that you like by covering it in black EPOXY which dries HARDER than the caulk then your T's wouldn't be able to get through to the Styrofoam.....👍🤘✌and you could still stick dirt/substrate to it
I have a Costa Rican Zebra like this one too. I can tell you she is really weird in her behavior. She is totally harmless, but 2-3 hours a night she will climb all over her enclosure walls and litteraly let herself fall on her back from the top of the wall, like 30 times every night. She is very bolty, but in a weird way. One minute I touch her and nothing, she stays still and moves a bit very slowly, but the next minute boom I touch her and she bolts at 300 mph giving me a heart attack. Very skiddish and shy, but beautiful and sweet.
Wow Amazing Spider she so pretty Dark den love your vlogs so much was scare of spiders too but watching your videos makes me want to get a spider.. so cool.. thanks so very much yes put them on the web site for sure they are cool thanks again... Much Love From London ontario love your cages too
My female adult I have is very defensive 😓 am very gentle with her but she is so aggressive unfortunately. Wish. I could handle her like this as she is a beautiful spider
nearly have a heart attack seeing u holding her ... mine is a monster, just ....a monster , more than an OBT , she bite everything entering her enclosure , Seemannis are a nervous Aphonopelma species , i'll never hold mine again (she was my first T , i hold her when she was a juvenile , now i have a fat ass adult female .. i dont deal with her anymore)
While I am anxious to see the progress on the new (fourth?) Dark Den, a new denizen and a future feeding video make the wait worth while. Thanks, Petco!
I have been subbed to you from the beginning and my son has been watching your videos with me. He keeps saying "he is REAL!? We need to go visit him" and from watching for so long I have learned how beautiful Croatia is and would LOVE to make the trip and plan to when this covid nonsense is a thing of the past. I only have one question, when you move the dark Den into your den... will fans and fellow hobbyists be able to visit and meet you or will the new wife not like that so much :) from one lover of arachnids to another. PapaGnerd :)
A. seemanni was my first T. Definitely top 20 new world terrestrial T's (mine burrow too much lol) but they are super feisty and have feeding responsives like a GBB
Petko....my man !!!! Yes,put the fly scattered on your web,I'll buy a couple. Can you make some in black? Very good!!!! I hate flies,mosquitos,ticks. I hate 'em
Being an adult person be like "OMG the fly swatter in a shape of SPIDER WEB... with plastic SPIDER! And it is GREEEEN!" XD and talking about that with such passion XD Totally understand you man and also... 11:45 that was unexpected
:D Since we got our Phidippus Regius all flys roaming around are FOOD ... nice turn in mind from annoying Insect to FOOD. :D From punch em to dead to catch em alive. Greetings from Germany. :)
I bought my first Sling today😊 I haven’t had a tarantula for over a year since I moved to Georgia. I couldn’t bring my 9-10 year old Rose Hair, but I got my hands on a Pterinochilus murinus OBT sling today, Check out my Instagram for some pics and vids in the future 👀 @th3talent
From backgrounds to blackgrounds XD As tarantulas are breaking those backgrounds,i think some big plants or cork barks(Also stones)at the back should do the trick
I like the new plain background, the older background is better more texture for them? but the new background gives them +- 3? cm more space. Edit (I just typed then you mentioned the extra space - cool!)
I will never forget my words when I was a child: "Mom, I just dont like and fear spiders, because they have so long legs..." And I will never forget her words then: "Why? But maybe vice versa it is in trend and nice for them all!" And when I have grown up, I always try to feel how spiders think what very beautiful legs that female has!"😂 Maybe they have their own taste and preference too😂
I got into the hobby watching you Petko at the original dark den. My first T was a Aphonopelma seemanni (Elvira) whos now around the same size as your new girl. My Elvira us ridiculously bolty though... she teleports like an old world 😆. beautiful species. Mine actually only burrows coming upto pre molt and id say spends a good 75% of time out of her deep burrow. Xxx

They should make a pixar movie about how all the Ts come out and party when he leaves. And the old worlds are the bad guys.
"The Secret Life of Ts"
Would be cool but wouldn't happen🙃
I'd watch it...
I don’t like the title but I love the idea. Kinda like the pets movie. But for T lovers.
tarantula story(toy story)
basically the poecis are the bad guys
Sehr gut! Sehr sehr gut!
Love this. You doing a great job Petko :)
For flies you gotta aim just behind them with the swatter as they jump/ launch backwards into the air - T. Australian.
That throw was fantastic!
Whoah ! Look at that beauty !
I also own an A. seemanni but mine's still a sling. Very beautiful T :)

Omg same haha😂
Nicht nur dich
mich auch haha gut das ich nicht alleine bin xD
10:06
"Sehr gut"
Wasnt really expecting this one😄
Does Petko actually speak german?😊
What a beautiful tarantula! This tarantula isn't found in the US, however. They're found from Mexico to Costa Rica
He mentioned “some” of the genus is from the US. Aka calcodes and hentzi
Thats litterly America lol Central America is America too, you cant say USA is America.... America is continent not a country..
@@veljkoradovanovic1130 but in the current USA it is 'Murica, which if you didn't know is its own continent. Here we speak American, just saying.
@@DisturbedInOhio U speak english, America as a continent has lots of languages. I can see in your country they don't teach students about geography.

I’m a fairly new viewer but I find your accent and voice very soothing and have to watch at least one video a day to feel like my day is complete 😂😅
His voice and passion is what keeps me coming back for sure.
Right, A. seemani belongs to a collection like yours. Sweet girl with beautiful legs! You also need a chalcodes.
I've been thinking for awhile now, pondering why you haven't got any Venus flytraps in the Den. should be humid enough and got great lights for them as well. Ponder the idea?
it’s better than a fly swat then at least something would be ingesting them and they’d be dying for a reason
He could make a whole terrarium with carnivorous plants.
Flytraps, pitcher plants, etc.
Petko.
This.
Many times this.
Most carnivores plants need full sun all day they wouldn't do good inside.
Thank you, and Exotics Lair for helping me with arachnophobia.
I no longer have a fear of spider's/tarantulas from both your Guy's channel's.

Almost looks like she's wearing a Halloween skeleton costume. She's stunning.
That's a pretty tarantula. Should call her Skelly since the coloring on her legs look like bones kind of like a skeleton
Google this one: ephebopus murinus
DD: **explains how flies are annoying while smacking the swatter**
The fly at 3:09 : *BUZZ~~~*
*has a big cork bark and enclosure*
Petko: so spacious oh my god
🤣😂
The large mosquito is likely a crane fly. Awesome vid as usual!
We have mosquito hawks in the USA not sure what their scientific name is but that's what I've known them as. They look like prehistoric mosquitoes. They are beneficial and please don't squash them :)
Don’t kill them! Haha we call them mosquito eaters! They’re amazing to have around. Well in my opinion haha
I immediately assumed it was a type of cranefly
Dah G Man I think they’re the same thing it’s just what I call them haha :p
Leather jacket is another name for them
-edit, nevermind, a quick google search informed me that leather jacket is the larvae form of the crane fly, *neat* !
Have you ever thought of 3d printing the background part of the enclosure? You can design the background textures for it how you want, save on plexiglass, and eliminate foam use.
Hmmmm, good idea although it would take ages to print
Maybe it would be a good idea to have photographic backgrounds that would suit their natural environment.
Hmm, I think a planted background makes more sense. Anything else would destroy the dynamic look an would be weird, an the tarantula doesn't REAAALLY care.. I mean they don't see that good at all..

I don't like the look on those tbh
@@TheDarkDen the photo backgrounds? Or the cork bark sheets?
@@TheDarkDen Try putting a mirror on the back
When are the crabs joining the dark den??? Can’t wait 😂😂
Im buying my first T tomorrow cant wait!
Congrats 👏
Woo-hoo! Fantastic!
Make sure you clear things out and make room for more... I had to 😀
First T is always exciting, which species did you decide on?
@@MasterOfSlugs Grammostola pulchripes
Quite surprised to saw he didn't use his might "sand" to add texture to the enclosure ike he always does.
Oh wow! My jaw dropped when you opened the container. It's beautiful!
My OBT just escaped in the last night and buildet a web home 😂 Now i got it back

Buildet 😂

I’m in ohio too! You should keep them. Tarantulas are not too hard to keep.
I live closer to Kentucky and around here I can barely find places that will let me rent with dogs or cats.
If I bring a big as spider im just asking for an eviction
Ryan Planck I have 5 in an apartment. I just don’t tell them lol.
I mean they dont need much space.
So a closet could easily conceal them
7:58 "miss"
8:04 bug: "I'm leaving, bye"
maybe you could still use the carved Styrofoam background that you like by covering it in black EPOXY which dries HARDER than the caulk then your T's wouldn't be able to get through to the Styrofoam.....👍🤘✌and you could still stick dirt/substrate to it
Wow this tarantula is probably one of the most calm tarantulas I’ve seen in this channel 😂
*On this channel *
so basic!
Budapest Terra Plaza
buy one get two :D (16 EUR)

Ah, the Aphonopelma seemanni, the Costa Rican zebra tarantula, also known as the striped-knee tarantula. Such a beauty!!!
The Croatian sensation! I got a new GBB and APT because of your recommendation and I love them.
Wow Amazing Spider she so pretty Dark den love your vlogs so much was scare of spiders too but watching your videos makes me want to get a spider.. so cool.. thanks so very much yes put them on the web site for sure they are cool thanks again... Much Love From London ontario love your cages too
My female adult I have is very defensive 😓 am very gentle with her but she is so aggressive unfortunately. Wish. I could handle her like this as she is a beautiful spider
Imagine a room with 100s of spiders but still having a fly problem 😂. Love the vids man. Keep it up
Very beautiful tarantula so happy to see her seems nice enough to handle without getting bitten was wounding about your accent are you from Ukraine?
Awesome video. I'm glad you have a seemani they are usually pretty chill. I have one. Her name is zero.
Have you tried a board made of natural wood as background? But it would probably to moist for that.
I think its a great idea...one thing..I'd put "Dark Den" on the handle :D:D:D:D:D
Love your new spood!!! Very attractive!!!🕷🕸🕷
I think it's a cool thing to add to your merch store, but of course you must brand them to say dark den
Fly swatter for 3 bucks?
They go for 99 cents @ the 99 cent store.
I like it better..looks ok but really opens up the interior for more space.
14:10 😂betlog tv
I know you're a filipino
Isn't that teh one species TarentulaKat always wanted you to get?
nearly have a heart attack seeing u holding her ... mine is a monster, just ....a monster , more than an OBT , she bite everything entering her enclosure , Seemannis are a nervous Aphonopelma species , i'll never hold mine again (she was my first T , i hold her when she was a juvenile , now i have a fat ass adult female .. i dont deal with her anymore)
What about the Dark Den logo as a background to the enclosures?
Sehr gut ,,,,😅👍
Nice Video , i hope you enjoy the new tarantulla! I also have a. Semanni its a gread spezies
I hope you do for a lang Time Videos
Liebe GRÜßE aus Deutschland
Yoo hey I’m early 😂
Imagine puttng mirrors on the back of the enclosures!!!
While I am anxious to see the progress on the new (fourth?) Dark Den, a new denizen and a future feeding video make the wait worth while. Thanks, Petco!
I have an A. seemanni blue color form sling 😁
IDK what other countries call them but we call those giant mosquito things "crane flies" :)
Do you sell any enclosures? i am looking for some good ones
A. seemani was one of the 1st adult tarantulas i bought, and she is still a favorite! So beautiful! The legs almost remind me of a skeleton leg t
Bro u neeeedd to get pseudhapalopus sp boyacá.
The big mosquitos you were talking about are called Mosquito Hawks and they eat mosquitos
They can't eat mosquitos...look it up..its impossible with no mouthparts to eat.
That was my first tarantula two years ago!
*Accidentally swats new tarantula* 😂
I keep my a seemanni semi fossorial hahah. It's literally a jar full of dirt and tunnels and I absolutely adore it 🥰

saw the thumbnail, immediately thought to myself "it has to be cyriopagopus albostriatus. petko wouldn't get an aphonopelma."
This is my first tarantula! Great to see you have one, once I saw the thumbnail I knew it was a a. Seemanni
Woop hello pre notification squad =D
"Fly swasher", "which makes sense because you find fly and swash it"... 😶😂
Im new to the hobby and I want to have a room like this in the future!

From backgrounds to blackgrounds XD
As tarantulas are breaking those backgrounds,i think some big plants or cork barks(Also stones)at the back should do the trick
Petko: Aphonopelma are usually handlable
All of my Aphonopelma: 🤬😈☠
I like the new plain background, the older background is better more texture for them? but the new background gives them +- 3? cm more space. Edit (I just typed then you mentioned the extra space - cool!)
Contact paper or Vinyl is what the new background is called here in the US anyway.
My A. Seemmani is definitely one of my biggest bolting spiders. That's just how they roll.
Just spray paint the back side of the glass with black spray paint it looks good and dosent get messed up from your pets/spider
The markings are similar to _Ephebopus murinus,_ the "skeleton tarantula". But I think your new girl is better looking. ;-)
I will never forget my words when I was a child: "Mom, I just dont like and fear spiders, because they have so long legs..." And I will never forget her words then: "Why? But maybe vice versa it is in trend and nice for them all!"

There you go make that with rock pictures with that black background like they have for aquariums
