8 Years Later...Complete Animal Room Tour

[@bigcally5567]

It’s been fun to watch the journey my friend

[@bloodharrier3333]

I remember your apartment tours. I loved those episodes. But it’s awesome to see how far you’ve gotten and that you have a forever den now. 👊 I do miss Cappuccino and Felix, though. 🥺

[@dolphinsgirl253]

Me too! They were/still are my faves. I love Espacito (sp?) too. What was the reference he made regarding his name? A song/band? I didn’t get the connection?

[@bloodharrier3333]

I think it’s spelled Despacito. It’s a song from 2017 by Luis Fonsi that was popular that year. It’s a pretty song. I put the link below.

[@bloodharrier3333]

I still wear my Cappuccino Castle shirt all the time, btw.

I’m in sniffles. I can’t believe it’s been so long! We are down to our final tarantula after all these years. Glad to have shared this journey with you and yours. Congratulations on all you’ve built!

[@FinHough]

One of the best animal you tubers. Ease carry in making your videos for a long time

[@Mitchcraft.]

Thanks for the nostalgia at the start. Been with you since the 1st Dark Den. Sending a heartfelt Christmas wishes to you and your family 🎄🎅🥳 and of course your animal family too ❤

[@TheDarkDen]

[@Mitchcraft.]

@@TheDarkDen did this go through as a payment? It was like a superchat but I don’t see the icon indicating it is a superchat comment any more. I want to make sure you got your money.

[@brandonsparks5786]

Come a long way from unboxing tarantulas on the couch. Can't believe I've been watching for 8 years now. Keep up the hard work and excellent content.

[@sjaakkaakdorst4457]

Can't believe I have been watching your videos for over 6 years.. No other KZbinr has kept me interested for that long. You are doing an awesome job Petko!!

[@JousVersion]

You did an amazing job cutting and editing this video! I’ve been watching your channel for years and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. I grew up with a love for spiders and watching your videos made me love them even more. I’m getting my first tarantula next year and couldn’t be more excited 🤘🏼 thank you for putting so much passion, work and effort into these videos! Happy holidays 🎄

[@Luzihr]

So proud of your growth! Keep going petko ❤

[@cxmjpg]

[@effy_kujo]

Thank you for another wonderful year. Looking forward to the next season of the Dark Den! Happy Holidays to you, Maya & Erika 💚

[@Mitchcraft.]

Omg this intro is amazing! I found the Dark Den in its first year. There were just a few videos at the time and I have watched every single video you have made. Thanks for that huge nostalgia ride! Awesome editing also🎉❤ Hope you and your family have an awesome Christmas man 🤩

[@misslevochki]

I miss Felix... and I've been a loyal viewer since your 2nd Dark Den, this video made me nostalgic and im proud of being part of the adventure, more years to come! 🤟💯

[@almostfamousenuff]

8 yrs! I feel like we are friends. Petko and coffee in the a.m. you are the most genuine person I follow. Keep it up!

I cant believe it's been 8yrs since I found your channel ;-; I'm excited for you Petco!! You are so humble and funny! I love you!! Cheers to many more years in The Dark Den 🖤

[@8BROWNIE8]

I remember the first time you started KZbin showing off your Tarantulas and since then it has been a great journey. learn alot of you but i still wouldn't have one lol, keep up the great work my friend!

[@GGpro38]

Seeing your progress and growth makes me so happy knowing you’re living and doing what you love ! All the best from Canada 🇨🇦 we love you !

[@MrVain666]

Been here since 2019! Thank you for all the content, you’ve not only entertained me for hours on end but you also taught me so much about keeping tarantulas. I hope to see you at an expo at one point :)

[@Viktor-kb1px]

Damn, it's been so long since I started watching you. I've found your channel back in like 2017, then forgot and started watching you in like 2018/2019, but "actively" since 2020. :D Keep this up, I love it, always the highlight of Monday (altough it wasn't Monday this time).

[@SamOSumO]

The Dark Den always makes my day with his videos!! love the videos and the journey you have gone!! keep up the amazing work.

[@Lessthankira]

Its been almost 4 yrs watching you every week. You dont know me in person but i think of you as a friend. Stay safe and advance happy Holidays

[@vince.calonzo69]

I can’t believe i’ve been watching you ever since 2016 and now you have come so far. The first video that I watched was the giant centipede unboxing, after that I can’t stop watching more of your videos. Thank you for making good contents and have a nice 2024

[@JinapherShakur]

I'm so happy for you! I started watching this channel back in its infancy, and its been really cool to watch it grow bigger, and bigger. I'm TERRIFIED of spiders, but they're very interesting, and some are really gorgeous. I would never go into The Dark Den, or be anywhere near the spiders, but ill play with the lizards all day. Lol. Congratulations again on the amazing, new pet room; you deserve it! Thank you for everything you do, and educating everyone. ❤

[@Nubble77]

Been watching u from your first apartment, with other account It's cool to see how big u grew this years, ur making good content and its fascinating to watch you ❤ Hugs

[@joannalee8525]

I’ve been watching you since you were in your tiny apartment. So happy to see how much you’ve grown and witness all your progress not only regarding your colection but your personal and financial life. Keep it up, sending you the best wishes! 🫶

[@Giratina-uf4vf]

you're the reason I got into tarantula keeping about 2 years ago, been an avid fan of your channel, thanks for all you do!

[@omarabughazaleh3959]

Been busy with uni for a while, perfect video to catch me up to speed!

[@casitube22]

Please don't change the intro permanently! I've been following since Season 1 this is the first channel that got my interest in Tarantulas started, I even pronounce the names the same way PETKO does and I'm American 😂 for some reason when I hear the names with an American accent , it just doesn't sound right to me🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm so happy for your 5 th season and you should be very proud PETKO you didn't give up and your channel has improved so much over the years as you gained knowledge and experience. Congratulations 🎉 We love you PETKO ❤

[@vincentdegregorio2077]

Omg petko I remember the first space you bought and it’s been awesome seeing how far you’ve come and your videos inspire me everytime

[@danielballard3364]

Shocked it has been so long when i first stumbled upon you which was you in that small apartment sitting on the couch handling some scorpions (i believe) because i was searching for scorpion related content on KZbin as i wanted some of my own.. must really have been 2015ish.. Still a fan of your content 8 years later and never tired of your vids *thumbs up*

[@repzooticanimalcenter7821]

Wonderful to see the change trough the years! And it was really cool to finally meet you in real life yesterday on Terra Plaza. Keep up the great work !

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Wait, Nemo is a mature male already?! Time really flies! I've been watching for more than 5 years and I just want to say how much I appreciate all the great content you've given us and continue to give us. Thanks for everything you do, Petko!!

[@billsmith1998]

Been here since the beginning. I myself have went from small to large collections over the years. Less is more sometimes. Refining your hobby is such a fulfilling experience.

[@aphiliarachno]

I've been subscriber since the second season, so not since the beginning but I have still seen a lot of changes going on. It was funny to see parts of the tours of the previous years. A very cool Den! All the best for you and all the inhabitants of the Den and such that will join next year, and of course also for your family. Have some nice Christmas days and stay healthy.

[@gracelessgibbon3811]

This video brought a tear to my eye. Been watching since, you was in the flat. You have influenced the way I keep my own animals, and its been such a joy to watch you become such a huge spearhead for the hobby ❤

[@grahamlothian2695]

wow I cant believe how long Ive been watching, especially seeing when you stated the junglarium, time flies when you enjoy all the videos you produce keep up the good work

[@nickolerodriguez4241]

Rest in peace Brian ! Rest well ! I loved you channel the message you talked about how your energy in the vlog !

[@Tsantsa1337]

I've been a subscriber since you were in your apartment. Congratulations on how far you've come. You've put in the work and you deserve it. I definitely look forward to what's to come.

[@susanmartin3762]

Your Molt Collection is impressive Petco !! I don't think any of your other tarantula keepers have such a great collection.. they're creepy/cool!

[@kevinmuller1377]

I have been watching The Dark Den since the early days in his old Apartment. It is so crazy that it is 5 years ago when despacito's and Cappuccino's enclosures where built, it feels like it was last year. Keep up the great content and never change your super friendly behaviour.

[@051adam]

Thank you for all the awesome content over the years! Happy holidays to everyone in the community and to the petko family! Sincerely, long time spooder enthusiasts and fans, -two farm-hounds in Missouri:) You made us happy to endure a Monday!

[@hazzif2403]

It still blows my mind how far you've come. I couldn't be happier for you and I'm glad to have been able to witness your journey! To think it's been that many years 🥲

[@vwvw4]

So many memories of Cappuccino and Felix! And the cat at your old digs, Mitza! I hope you'll consider another hamster in future, now that you're in a permanent home you could make an amazing tube race for it. Have you considered a shipping container for storage, it's amazing how much you can get in one and you would just have to paint it to make it look good for the neighbors.

[@jdssurf]

hamsters are sort lived and it seems most have bad genetics from over breeding and inbreeding at these facilities. Sad, They so often just die suddenly.

[@DiamondKat]

Love your channel, you are a great content creator always interesting and I wish you a happy holiday and thank you for all the education, I learned alot from you , I was always so afraid of spiders and you made me see them differently 😊 have a wonderful day

[@timmy7189]

i watch you since 2016 and rly have to thank you for all the years petko, i dont keep any tarantulas at all but i rly love your videos. keep it goin man :D

[@avery21026]

Thank you for all the great videos over the years! And they keep coming! 🎉

[@RiKo18]

I remember watching your videos when you where at your apartment, cant believe 8 years have passed so fast.

[@camrieboehlke1954]

Thank you so much for letting us all join you on this adventure 😢🎉 you've taught me so much, and seeing your journey has inspired me from day one!

[@Isabelb]

Wow, it has been so many years, such a long watching and I didn't even realized it. Even Cappuccino and Felix made a small appearance, amazing work! I'm so exited for that new enclosure with the 2 tarantulas and, of course, the junglearium! Next year is going to be so interesting, thanks for all your content and hard work all these years.

[@prisoner_36]

Perfect way to end the weekend. Petko, I came across your channel circa 2020 and it's been crazy watching the growth of the channel, and you as a keeper. I had pretty severe arachnophobia growing up, but after watching 4+ years worth of videos, I would feel very confident if I ever did start keeping arachnids because of your dedication to make videos and spreading awareness for their husbandry. Have a great holiday season, looking forward to everything 2024 will bring the dark den!

[@Ghostoad]

Dobär dan! Merry Xmas from Peoria Illinois. As a side note my wife's parents are Bosnian(p) and Croatian(m). It was funny the first time she heard your voice she asked "Is that one of my people?"

[@GuakH03]

This heartwarming tbh.. the process of your growth has me baffled. You’re a father now congratulations man.

[@tayclemons696]

From Houston,Texas, USA I love it. ! OMG long time fan of Dark Den 😲😊

[@susanmartin3762]

I've missed you!! It's so nice to see you.. in the LIGHT!!😅 Your collection is AHHHHMAZING!! I've watched you for almost 4 years!! All of my favorite spider and Reptile channels have just BLOWN UP!!!❤ I LOVE felix. I hope he's still with you!! My favorite "Wid-ee-ohs" are of you chasing a "Bolter"😂🤣😅 you always got them back! Welcome back!

[@effy_kujo]

Felix sadly passed 😢 petko did everything possible to save him, but it was an issue out of his control. Felix was such a special, funny guy 🦎 I remember when he escaped his enclosure & went on one of his nighttime walkabouts in the previous Dark Den & accidentally destroyed all of the molts on Petkos molt board, lol

[@susanmartin3762]

@effy_kujo thanks for the update

[@Great_White_Shork]

@ 2:25 It's good to see Felix again.

[@johnmac240]

I started watching in 2017, haven't missed a video loved watching the progressions of your enclosure building! Hard to believe it's been 6 years😮

[@logancrow9979]

Have you thought about getting an inspection camera for some of your deeper burrowers? I use those cameras on job sites to check drains and sewers. Real long, skinny camera for those hard to reach places. Curious if these would cause stress for your animals. Love your content keep up the great work

[@leonidaspapp]

Thanks for the nostalgia at the start I remember your apartment tours!

[@lubitz161]

Tapinauchenius violaceus is now called 'Tapinauchenius plumipes' (violaceus is nomen dubium). Pterinopelma sazimai is nomen dubium too, it's now called Lasiocyano sazimai. Brachypelma albopilosum is called 'Tliltocatl albopilosus' now.

[@kayleighdrouin6378]

Been around since 18. Your channel is one of the big reasons ive gotten mostly over my arachnaphobia

[@grahamfyfe4252]

This video was really entertaining, It was amazing to see the growth of your channel, keep up the good work, sending love all the way from scotland

[@mariestubbs4606]

great goin back on The Dark Den adventure cant wait for Season 5 .

[@thestukenbergranch5808]

Cool your animal collection has so much diversity!

[@kimkelvin]

i cant believe its been this long i've been watching you grow your collection :) ready for more years to come! also i always love seeing that monster can collection as a monster lover myself !

[@danielfraser5096]

Loved this, put together so well, very nostalgic seeing the first dark den

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

I didn't realize I've been watching you for two years. Didn't realize the junglearium had been a work in progress for so long. Love the channel. Here's to two more years

[@vinnysasso6151]

Damn dude the beginning of this video hit my nostalgic bone, petko u inspired me to start keeping tarantulas and I hope one day I can have a dark den like yours

[@dawnk6910]

Cannot believe its been 8 years! Remember in the early days, videos on your sofa and coffee table, even your balcony was used.! Well done petko

[@ChronicCreature95]

Oh man. I started my journey watching you in 2017. Was amazing watching the timeline in the beginning to now

[@Robin-xv3pv]

Dude, i just realized i watch your videos since 2016... Thanks for all these years of awesome content ❤

[@drewsully421]

Place is looking great! I LOVE the massive Junglarium! Bring on the next season!

[@sierrramoss]

Gosh i remember the apartment set up what an amazing journey! so happy for you!! 💚🕷

[@sarahcarry4037]

Really enjoyed this one, it was great getting to see Cappuccino and Felix again 😢❤

[@yuitanaka4368]

Daaamn time is so fast. Thabk you for the update bro. I wish you use the tank for piranha 😊. Regards to the family bro.

[@schenebod]

[@J0N03]

As good as every year. Thank you for all the content. You top yourself this year when it comes to ideas and the constantly growing Video quality. Thank You and keep the good work up. Greetings from germany.😁🤙🏻

[@caughtafaygo]

loved it! i rewound a couple times and rewatched some. awesome vid

[@richarddelehanty565]

Been w you since the beginning bro and I have not been disappointed with you and your family of all things creepy crawly beautiful insects spiders and other cool animals that come and go thru the dark den and it’s all been tons of love thru the years ! You are great!!

[@jemrobertoacosta]

Daaang I've started my collection February 2019, which means I've been watching you even earlier than that for research! oh How time flies!

[@frbrbrgrblgrr7777]

I can't believe it's been this long. I appreciate you

[@MaxGromadzki]

I can’t even believe that I was watching you from the beginning and you have now 600k 🙊

[@Gashnei]

I still think I preferred the dark den season 2 over all others. The first season was wholesome, but season 2 fully defined what the dark den was, is, and wil become.

[@deewhitcha6014]

love the long videos!!! Thanks!

[@bennettrowell8850]

The amount of nostalgia from all the old tours is CRAZYYYY

[@GamerFrisco]

The coolest basement for tarantulas and workshop!! WOW!

[@winterume]

has it already been 8 years!? i still remember the couch so vividly lol

[@D-Crawlers]

i am going to order some of your merch somewhere in march!!

[@brendaseverance5174]

SUCCESS, what a beautiful thing....✨️

[@Gee478]

Excited for season 5! Will be there for it

[@MisplacedPixie]

I very much enjoyed the video! So many Dark Dens. I still laugh over the video when you still had the original couch and there was a great tarantula escape. You said the lady of the house was not entirely sure you had recovered that one super hard to find tarantula or if you just said you had to make her feel better. It's still one of those things that make you say hmmm....

[@ravennoxia]

Chips and Thor need bigger enclosures, bet that Chips would be less scared in a big enclosure stuffed with plants. They both need more enrichment. It's wonderful to see how much they are able to utilize when you upgrade them!

[@theadventureclublisboa]

I remember skipping online class during the pandemic to watch your lovely videos, been watching ever since ❤🙃

[@amphimrca]

Top man 🔥🔥

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Man, the collection grows and keeps growing.

[@spiderrico250]

Really looking forward to seeing some enclosure builds!!!!

[@betta0685]

Looking forwards to watching!

[@stampexlol9420]

1 minute and already video is out , its funny how the time passed so quickly .... but i still some times rewatch videos from the old old old apartment dark den 🎉🎉

[@dallascarroll2331]

Love the videos keep up the good work man its really inspiring watching you follow your passions
