Dark Den Drinking Game: 1 shot every time Petko has technical problems. 1 shot every time a spider does a take down off frame. 1 shot every time Petko has to look up a scientific name. Aaaaaand I'm drunk.

[@tylerparsons4681]

2 shots every time Petko's camera dies

[@BugsandBiology]

What about every time his assassin bugs miss their prey?

[@elizabethpruett2642]

Lol I would love to join you in that game 🤣 sounds like fun

[@tarantulakat]

Why do I like listening to you talk to Linda looool

[@seangriffiths9163]

I love Linda

[@bloodbathgraphics7872]

I love kat 😍

[@tarantulamum4322]

love the petko talks to linda, the my mum's name reminded me of her 😂😂 sorry mum 💜💙🕷

[@bluejubbles5671]

Linda started happy dancing in the bottom left corner at 5:11 ! How cute :D

[@MissYutani]

already at 4:48 :)

[@matheuspinheiro2029]

"Calm down!" Exotics lair reference

[@lonnydub]

Damn that trap door is FAST!

[@Kirbyroth]

that roach was doing laps after seeing what was in there

[@seanrallis6714]

Loved finally getting to see the Idiothele mira use the trapdoor! (I'm catching up on old episodes, only discovered your channel a few weeks ago) It was so cool to see. Especially how she went back in so quick and concealed herself after missing the first strike. Edit: I now MUST make a "bolt around music video. With clips of tarantulas maniacally bolting around during every chorus

[@maxb438]

Do an update on the ant colony. Please!

[@maxb438]

He said he was replacing her though.

[@foxshot8967]

Seeing this C. Versicolor makes me really happy that I picked one up recently. They are so beautiful their entire life!

[@WaRRioRofLight.]

Lol 16:03 for those wanting to know.

[@ghosttoast527]

Omg!!! That spider looks like a Brown Recluse!!!! THOSE ARE HIGHLY VENOMOUS!!!! I’m not sure, but make sure it isn’t.

[@Ujuani68]

Just LOOVE the picture of the Caribena Versicolor! THEY are so SWEET!🥰

[@joebenga2569]

Can't believe you didn't see Linda dancing at 4:48 !! 🤷‍♂️🤣🎶🎶

[@powerserg8]

So cool how your P cambredgei stayed out. The slightest tap on its enclosure, like attempting to open it, makes it run and hide. Also, awesome video as always. The new space is awesome!

[@uptempoheadbkjn7552]

11:57 most beautiful tarantula I ever saw

[@freebs518]

The true spider looks like a blackhole spider. But I'm not sure if you guys have them there.

[@screeaveDestination]

I bought my dream tarantula today. A female B. emilia, 6cm. It will be sent next week, I'm so excited! 😍😱 This will be my first tarantula of this size and my second as a beginner. I love these animals more and more! ❤ If my B. boehmei male would finally moult before I move ... C. versicolor is so breathtaking, I think this species also comes on the list of tarantulas that I would like to have. 😊

[@screeaveDestination]

JPs VlogUK Thank you :)

[@screeaveDestination]

JPs VlogUK One year ago, I was one of those people who find tarantulas disgusting. My boyfriend started with the interest of keeping these animals and when he had his B. hamorii, I was totally fascinated. I would never have thought that of myself. :D

[@nectarzetlian987]

It was perfect feeding on the dirt spider. Such a beautiful attack.

[@luistorres3456]

Spiders are a no go for me but your videos are so interesting I have to watch them

[@mebosstory9557]

Love your videos because of you I've got 4 Ts ;) Theraphosa blondi sling, Poecilotheria metallica sling, Caribena versicolour sling and a female Cyriopagopus lividum juvenile. I've got 2 first videos of my little blondi check it out. 👍

Petko!!!!!!!!! most badass youtuber eva...thanks from Poland

[@MurderouslyNocturnal]

Thank you for the video Petko, I've been having a rough night so I'm very happy to see this. And I loved it

[@Ujuani68]

15:11: Oh, THIS is a Tegenaria!😀👍 I had one her size, and she molted, so I was able to feed her regular worms (not super worms), before she unfortunately died an untimely death. If you want to know how THAT happened, write me back here...🤦‍♂️😖😡😢

[@joannefamelio5615]

That stunning purple spider has a frock And bola!!! Ready for The rockettes!!!

[@thenightscythe2030]

Yay!! Loving the New Space. You may wanna look into a Slow-Mo Camera for Special Feeding Video's, think it would be Great for the New Space.

[@xsilly9503]

I am aware you are trying to expand you Poecilotheria collection, correct? Have you ever thought about getting a Poecilotheria Rajaei? Supposedly, they are native to Sri Lanka and have about an 8 inch (20.32 cm :P) leg span, so they are fairly big. Then again, most Poecilotherias are fairly big. Anyway, I love these videos and am curious on your answer :)

[@michielslager4319]

Im gonna be really honest, i actually never liked spiders. But these big spiders and your passion for them has really changed my mind about them! They are actually pretty fascinating and beautifull in a way. Enjoying how you tell about them and again you can really see your passion about spiders and everything else you own. Keep it up, i'll certainly keep watching!

[@Ymirec]

Same!

[@devilogspike]

I am terrified of spiders. Any kind, any size. Like scream and run, set the house on fire- terrified. But yours really are gorgeous, and i love the happy dance, it´s so cute :) I don´t think i´ll ever hold one, but i might try to not scream and run next time i see a spider. XD What was the black bug thingy with claws? I´ve never seen one like that before. And what is Linda(?) actually doing, when doing the happy dance?

[@tawneysmith3819]

Howdy! I'm new here. Nice to meet you. Not gonna lie, tarantula both terrify and fascinate me. I did not, however, realize how colorful they could be. Actually, quite pretty. Now, a tarantula "happy dance" is what exactly?

[@insolubletoaster8133]

As a new viewer I just watched that Caribena versicolor rehouse video so I was ASTOUNDED to see how big she was. And pretty. I've been telling myself I don't want one because they aren't that pretty. I was wrong.

[@matthewpatrick7955]

Very nice feeding video! I always wait for the next feeding video! But I enjoy any content you upload! I hope you'll upload more videos! (Maybe an extra day???)

[@onetwomany92]

You know, I have serious arachnaphobia but I'm really enjoying watching these vidoes of yours, In someway it's actually making me feel more comfortable about spiders. So well done :D

[@tarronanderson5037]

hey P! Taz from Australia here, I love your channel and was wondering if you have any Australian tarantulas or Huntsman Spiders? the Biggest Huntsman Spider I have seem here was around 25cm across!

[@aracknoinfiniteeseekertrip9689]

1st let me just say I never expected to go from looking for mantis information, crossing your channel, becoming addicted to a whole new genre I have missed out on (prob because of where I live & popularity of invertebrates being low here) binge watching for a week learning alot, to tracking down an exotic shop, & now staring at my new built enclosure with my gorgeous 2 juvenile Avicularia diversipes I was lucky enough to find. Almost got a whip scorpion too lol, but in time! Plus I told the shop owner about your channel, & your whip scorpion I was watching last night! At any rate, do you have this species of pink toe? They are not skidish, very friendly, & surprisingly rivals the Antilles versicolor with colors & markings!

[@dasBonte]

Had a small Psalmopoeus cambridgei sling some time ago but sadly it died. Interesting fact: their venom contains Vanillotoxin and Psalmotoxin, both of wich are structurally similar to Capsaicin, the compount that makes chilis spicy. Unlike Capsaicin however those two toxins work on birds as well. So it's quite the spicy girl

[@franciscoherrera8072]

That random spider is part of the " Gnaphosidea" genes. I actually have four different species in my collection. Just thought you might wanna know. 😀👍

[@karenchu8377]

I remember when I was first introduced to your videos I feel all weird and wasn’t very comfortable with tarantulas especially feedings (I’m petrified of roaches). Now I watch every of your videos. They are really fascinating. I guess it’s how u spoke about them with humour naturally and don’t use spooky scary bg musics. Anyway thanks for making them less scary for me!

[@superiorbeing9439]

i’m terrified of any bugs capable of biting/stinging me, yet i continue to watch videos like these 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@thatfattypanda3914]

Real quick question. I just got a 5-inch Gramostola Rosea. I was wondering what I should feed it. I would prefer not to use crickets but I don't know if I can afford roaches. Can I feed it super worms or mealworms? If not what should I feed it?

[@heraldius7458]

Today was just depressing. My first Tarantula ever Coco (grammostola pulchripes) died this morning, i don't know why but it just happened. I got her 4 years ago and she was doing fine until today. And if that wasn't depressing enough, my oldest scorpion (Heterometrus spinifer) lost it's stinger last night and i heard it won't grow back. I know that in this hobby things like this can just happen but it makes me more and more depressed even tho they are only insects.

[@GummelDummel]

I want to get my first Tarantula! What should I buy? Nhandu coloratovillosus or Brachypelma Hamorii? I know the Nahndu is not so ez to handle, but I kinda like it^^

[@jackswayze6514]

I found your channel by accident while searching people doing mini terrariums, hydroponics and ant hill art pouring in aluminum casting... I love tarantulas and i think they get a bad rep with people, and you have Diablo and assassin bugs.... Im glad you have different pets. Subscribed.

[@mattmartin9276]

Since watching you in the last year I have gotten a Mexican red rump, a h.giggs, 2 curly hairs, a p.canc, and lastly for now a p.camb. thbks you for the videos n introduction to another amazing exotic animals

[@jasminecluney1769]

Are all vinegaroons so funny?! The searching with its antennae and excited way it took the roach then just backed into its burrow like “you saw nothing human!” XD it’s so cute! I wasn’t going to keep one just cuz I’m partial to fluffy Ts with bright colors but dang it if this one didn’t steal my heart lol

[@KreoCrisis]

Ah, yes; the Euathlus sp red. One of my favorite species. But the slings. Grow. So slow. I've had one sling for two years now. It was about the size of a pencil eraser when I got it; and now! It is the size of a pencil eraser. It spent a year in premolt. Yes, a -year- I honestly thought it was dead several times; but occasionally I would catch it moving around in it's burrow.

[@headrockbeats]

If it were legal, I would catch and send you a chaetopelma olivaceum. Every single time you opened the box, the spider would've reared up beautifully for the camera and then proceed to escape the box and/or bite you. They are f*ing angry little monsters. It would've been hilarious.

[@HrZD16]

Don't forget T.apophyisis as the other Goliath tarantula. I feel like anything in the Theraphosa genus should hold the common title 'Goliath'. Also, I live your C. Verisicolor, so cute but so quick

[@davidhubert3807]

Love the "queen" baboon! First time commenting but I'm really enjoying all of your videos!

[@hodge8947]

I wish I wasn't so afraid of spiders because they really are quite amazing and beautiful in their own manufactured in hell sort of way. You're videos make me feel like I have things crawling all over me, but I'm hoping over time they will help me be at least more rational in my fears or these cute (sometimes...) creepy, crawly guys.

[@sylvievadimsky7515]

Oh no...gotta add that versicolor to my spider wishlist... Also, I know the Brachypelma you have is a bit boring to film, cause she is slow, but could you show her? I just really like the way that they look, and since I plan to start my collection with a Brachypelma hoemori, it's always nice to see one.

[@Flockingtheherd]

My veriscolor is much more vibrant than yours?? Any clue why? It’s about the same size but the abdomen is extremely vibrant blue’greeb with the same purple/red hairs everywhere

[@TheHolyMrH]

Your C.Versi is damn beatifull. Didn't want to order a second one allready but order is placed thanks dan. If anyone read my comment a year ago my chroma is doing very well now. Love this stupid f4ck of a spider

[@tarantulamum4322]

the dirt spider 😂😂.. 3am(UK time) laying in bed watching and I burst out laughing

[@michaelmartinson2781]

My oh my, that versicolor!! Wow! Can't wait till mine get bigger, so beautuful.

[@chrisgreen4136]

wheres the P. metallica??? shes stunning. Up until I started watching your channel I was terrified by spiders, now tho im even tempted to get a tarantula I find them fascinating.... so thanks petko.

[@wroogny]

Love your videos! Looking to buy my first tarantula (just one... for now) and wasn't sure what kind of species or how to take care of them. I really liked the idiothele mira, and I feel like it wouldn't be bad to start, I just needed to know stuff like how often do I feed it, what temperature/humidity should I give it, etc. If you have a different first tarantula recommendation I'm all ears! I'd also prefer to get one young cuz I wanna see it grow and place bets on the gender :) thanks in advance for the advice!

[@McDark84]

Even tho i fear these creatures a friggin LOT, i love your videos. Do you plan on getting a high speed camera to capture the feedings and movements? I know they are pricey, but that would be so much awesome footage. And i think a whole lot of your fans would also love it. Keep up the good work, much appreciation from germany

[@spydeyvee4858]

Yup... Spiny Assasin Guys Are super cool.. The enclosure looks amazing.

[@turmoil9878]

Been watching your videos for quite some time now. I don't know if you've ever been told this, but you have a very relaxing voice. I think it would be awesome if you made a whole video in your native language (maybe with subtitles). I'd be really interested in watching that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@kidinabstract]

That true spider looks an awful lot like a fat brown recluse. I don't know how common they are in your area but they're very common where I live in the States. All your Ts are so beautiful! I'm still deciding which to get for my first but thanks to you I definitely want one! ♡♡♡♡ They have the cutest toes.

[@mrknarf4438]

Have you got any spider colony? I know huntsman spiders can live in communities, and I guess this isn't a unique behavior. It would be cool to see multiple spiders (of course compatible species) living in a single enclosure. There may be a reason you haven't done this tho.

[@etiennecampbell3195]

I've been watching your videos for a few days and I use to have a fear of spiders and especially T's but I'm now thinking about buying one. Which one would I be best getting for a first? And preferably one that's not that bolty.

[@IcegiantAmrah]

Almost everything ate and you got amazing shots of all of them....new space must be lucky

[@lonekyoko]

(Hey, im sorry for repeating this comment, but this is a hugely recent video, so maybe you will see this one). I have a bit of fear with tarantulas, but your channel is helping me a lot. I want to one day have a tarantula but I'm also quite scared of insects, how could I have a tarantula having fear of insects? How would I feed her?

[@temptie4203]

Awesome feeding video yet again :D I feel like donating my phone for you to do some slowmotion (960fps) video of the feedings :) Not sure if it will work tho, cause of the extra lighting needed for slowmotion and the sensitivity of the spiders.

[@aerongene173]

Don't know how i stumble upon this channel, was busy watching gaming videos but i don't care. Great content and watched a lot of your videos so i subbed. Keep it up mate.

[@stijnxd]

The spider you found is from the Clubiona genus I think. They are called "pouch" or "pocket spiders" in dutch because they make silk pockets in crevises and holes in stuff like walls where they live in

[@jessehansen7084]

What is the happy dance? I know you mentioned it wasn't really that in one video. I am curious as to the actual reason they do it. Thank you and keep up the AMAZING content!!

[@Petzootix]

Did you make that rehousing video of the caribena versicolor? What's it called?

[@manone6831]

I am absolutely terrified of spiders, but somehow I like watching this

[@laurenweiss3984]

@The Dark Den At about 5:30 I saw a small happy dance from your theraposa stirmi in the background 😂

[@markrandolf2897]

Hey Petko I think you have a mold problem at 2:46. Anyways, great feeding video man!

[@WorthyMissJ]

You should get a Carolina grey tarantula. I don't know the scientific name but I've had a few invade my home when I lived in North Carolina! They are about 3 inches long and can be a light grey to pitch black color. They are pretty and the black ones have a reddish tint to their body.

[@seanferreira5979]

Hi Dark Den i would like to ask you what is that white powder/ cream you use in your rehousing videos in the catch cup would like you try it myself ( Hallo From South Africa)

[@nataschawiegman9043]

That caribena😍😍😍😍 curious about that video of her! I have a sling myself and can't wait for it to grow!

[@elizabethpruett2642]

When I was 8 I cought a huge wolfspider. I fed it a baby lizard I had also cought and after that I guess it was so full that it didn't care so I held it for a while and it crawled all over my arms and hands. Until my dad found out and got mad at me and through the wolfspider in the campfire. He said if it had bitten me I would have gotten really sick. I have always wanted a pet spider 😅🤣☺️ but I still feel a little sorry for poor Wolfie 😢

[@juliecorrall6827]

Tarantula not spider please your insulting your T’s. Love the electric blue I want one for my collection.

[@Imgema]

I kinda miss the old setup with the sofa. A home environment always feels warmer and more welcoming i guess. The new setup looks more like a storage environment so, i don't know, feels a bit cold perhaps? Just an observation, i'm not criticizing. In the end, extra room is more important.

[@privateperson5257]

Awesome video as usual!! I love watching you feed and talk about your spiders.

[@Suislide16]

Probably your best feeding video so far, that trap door footage was amazing... would be cool if you acquired later on a camera that can capture good quality slow motion so we can see how sneaky those spiders are hahaha! thanks for the video, your new space is looking awesome!

[@ktykat79]

Your versicolor is so gorgeous!! Oh my goodness! 💖

[@spydeyvee4858]

C. Versicolor... Wow... what nice colours... With colours like that... Who wouldn't want to show off a little.. !!!

[@loganroberts6935]

I use to be scared of spiders, I’m 34, but for some reason watching your videos and how you talk to them just like one would speak to a dog or cat, but they aren’t very scary at all.

[@chainefermee7000]

Hello The Dark Den, I'm a french and I love your spiders ( I'm sorry if my english isn't good )

[@susanmartin3762]

Why are your enclosures so small for your tarantulas. Don't they at least need a little room to move around? And don't be usually have a hide to go into? I'm new to all this tarantula wrangling stuff So I've only seen the way the trantulas are kept on the Exotic lair on KZbin. I've often wondered if you guys in person or at conventions. We have a lot in common that's for sure. I just wanted to know why they are kept in such teeny tiny little boxes
