[@fnafplayer6447]

I haven't watched you in 7 years. I'm glad to see you're doing well and wow, you've grown a lot!

[@joedoe5079]

[@user-teresastarantulas]

Congrats on 10 yrs.

[@StephanieBruner-k1e]

Congratulations on 10 years

[@rayedselborgonia2829]

I still remember the couch days lol. Much love from the philippines petko! Congrats on 10 years!

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information and updates Petcko

[@DeteccionPuraVida]

I don´t know if it will work but once I had a tortoise that was constipated and they way I treated him was by giving him a warm bath. You don´t need a lot of water. You probably could try that with that constipated tarantula by placing her in a recipient with enough warm water to cover her abdomen and not drown her. If you try, please let us know if it worked.

[@shsd7579]

drowining isnt really an issue for spiders in general so i think its worth a try

[@sleeplessavenue]

​@@shsd7579 drowning is very much a problem for spiders, actually! They have book lungs, which are located on their undersides - as a result it is recommended that you dont ever use a water dish for any arachnids. However, op is on the right track! Instead of a warm bath, I've seen people a damp cottonball or cotton swab for constipated arachnids. Similar tactic, but a different application.

[@TheDarkDen]

I tried it, never had any results :(

[@somestupidtwat.]

@@TheDarkDen this probably sounds stupid but im incredibly inexperienced, couldnt you just give them an incredibly incredibly small amount of laxative? or is there some special kind for tarantulas?

[@matowakan]

@@sleeplessavenue you know that tarantulas can swim right?

[@S4B3R117]

I always like seeing content with the slings and young Ts

[@Tsirikos94]

For tailless whip scorpion maybe an enclosure with red glass like the one we use for ant colonies will do the trick. Anyway , hi Petko

[@justinmarti3108]

I love your videos. Very informative, keeps me entertained, and some humor every now and then.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

[@nicholasquerceto7575]

Can't wait to see you!!

[@ActiivHamster]

Keep up the work !

[@A.R.C.77]

You should design enclosures so as the spiders grow you can clip on an extension making enclosures bigger

[@TheDarkDen]

no way to make it waterproof like that!

[@A.R.C.77]

​@@TheDarkDenI didn't think much water would go into them

[@user-teresastarantulas]

I love these videos. I do however feed mine once a week. Some may eat and others I may skip. I like to check on them which is why I do the once a week thing. I also water mine once a week. I can't stand dirty water dishes. 😂

[@FLUFFYNINJAOFFICIAL]

I REALLY LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEOS 😊❤ BUT HONESTLY I FEED MY BIG TARENTULA MORE OFFTEN... I THINK IN WILD THEY HAVE MORE OPPURTUNITIES ...NOT ONLY ONE IN 4 WEEK.. BUT WATEVER😅😊 ONLY MY OPINION

[@TheDarkDen]

depends on the pray size!

[@HowToBeDaTroll]

I don't know if it's the same for your Latrodectus sp, but North American species make webs where the lines that connect to the ground are stickiest at the bottom, and when prey touch them they spring upwards and the spider comes running. Maybe a more lively Lateralis roach running around on the ground would make for easier feeding?

[@TheDarkDen]

I heard that but I often had lateralis roaches living for 2 weeks on the bottom of the enclosure

[@xanopython9062]

My Latrodectus elegans never did this but I observed this behavior very commonly in the steatoda species I kept

[@mariestubbs4606]

Great vid Petko ..

[@Hayley0412]

Great video I always enjoy a good feeding video, get too bed!

[@elisabeteart]

Awesome video 🤘

[@laziudadnunkduerme]

dope as always!!!

[@TellesTarantulas]

Another great video 😊

[@tracybowling1156]

I know it's hard when your baby starts daycare. Stay strong. It'll work out!

[@TheDarkDen]

hmmm, I spent so much time with her so I now enjoy some care free time 😅

[@filipkral8678]

Your whip scorpion is similar to my vinegaroon, it never eat when i'm looking at it.

[@fuelforthepyre_9044]

There should have been a bottle of hot sauce involved in this video..... Juuuuust sayin 😉

[@TheDarkDen]

uh huh

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@paliyander]

which gets you wife more mad, a lost cockroach or lost tarantula? xD

[@TheDarkDen]

uhhh xD

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Please put a water dish in with the one with the big abdomen. My mouth is dry just looking ar the enclosure. Fluid will help constipation.

[@TheDarkDen]

only top layer of the substrate is dry!

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Yay, small arachnid.

[@boognish.]

3:22 the OG Dark Den song!

[@Raziel1984]

aren't there roaches in your yard in kroatia ... your wife will never know if this one is from you or from nature XD

[@dariofu7347]

I'm watching your videos for many years now and in the past you've had a wipping spider species that was really small an pathenogenic. I can't find the video anymore. Can you tell me the name of that species? Best regards

[@88kai59]

Day.10.9.2024 Good.lucky 🌲🦓🦓🌲🦓🦓🌲

[@Dante-ly666]

I have a question Do you / or would you have / get a heavy webbing curtain web spider??? I know Tom has a few and I was like I'm sure petko would enjoy these spiders. 🤷🏻 I have a rare curtain web spider from east Africa and I'm in South Africa so that was a treat to grab.

[@TheDarkDen]

nope!

[@bridgethoskins9809]

I hope you're wife doesn't watch your videos 😂

[@HardcoreInfinity]

😂 "yoink"

[@aieonnam]

Do you have orb weaver?

[@e.s.lavall9219]

Since Brexit, do you ship to UK?

[@Billy_heide]

Where in Verona Italy you’re going. What is the title of the event?

[@TheDarkDen]

Verona Reptiles!

[@danivankruysdijk3521]

Would you ever consider to get a brazillian wandering spider or a funnel web spider?

[@TheDarkDen]

yep!

[@marmcd23]

How old are the t.albo? Mine are still soo tiny lol

[@TheDarkDen]

hmm, like 4 years+ i think

[@kevinpoe8137]

Did you do update on the one that got stuck in its molt

[@TheDarkDen]

Nope, it was a T. vagas and it died!

[@MrNaghijoon]

"Heteropada DavidBowie" lol who is naming these spiders

[@buckanderson3520]

What happens if you over feed a tarantula? Do they get fat?

[@TheDarkDen]

I'm not sure xD

[@zebedeemadness2672]

Technically all in the order Araneae are true spiders, Araneae literal translation is spiders, being derived from Greek mythology tale of Arachne, a maiden that is transformed into a spider by the goddess Athena. Famous for her weaving abilities, and boastful of her talents. So there's no way a Tarantula isn't a true spider. Non true spiders would be the solifuge (Sun "spider", Wind " Spider"). Ricinulei (Hooded tick "spider"). Opilione (Harvest "spider"). Amblypygi (Whip "spider").

[@TheDarkDen]

that's how in the tarantula hobby is referred to other spiders

[@zebedeemadness2672]

@@TheDarkDen "True spider" comes from when Araneomorphae was Labidognatha it's own suborder of diaxial fang spiders. And Mygalomorphae sat with Liphistiomorphae (Mesothelae) in the suborder Orthognatha of paraxial fang spiders, that was a while ago. Now Mesothelae (Middle-teat = middle-abdomen spinnerets) is a basal suborder of Primitive paraxial fang spiders. And infraorder Araneomorphae (Spider-morph) sits with infraorder Mygalomorphae (Shrew-morph), not shrew as in the mammal (although shrews are called as such for the same reason), but the root meaning of shrew being ill-temperd, bad mannered. Now sit together in the suborder Opisthothelae (Posterior-teat = posterior-abdomen spinnerets), so Mygalomorphae would be Modern paraxial fang spiders, with Araneomorphae being Modern diaxial fang spiders. Using true in its true manner then only the genus Araneus (Common orb weaver spiders) being the Latinised version of the greek word Arachne = spider, would be deemed as true. In the same way way that the Cape cobra is a true cobra because it's genus name Naja that is Latin for cobra, with the King cobra not being a true cobra because it's genus name Oesophagus is greek for snake eater.

You’re the only person on KZbin that seems to have constipated Ts everyone else uses water bowls but you. Takes minutes to fill them up I have over 20 Ts and often seen them drinking
