For your springtails: Mites hate water, just add a layer of water that almost reaches the tip of the charcoal and the mites will either drown or vanish by themselfes

[@dookcurruff9047]

did u watch the video with ur brain off? he just said he'll do that

[@wheezyvettech8781]

There are mites that also live water and moisture. I have had them in a reptile enclosure, but their population decreased once the humidity decreased.

[@Workof]

@@wheezyvettech8781 mites love humidity and moisture but not liquid water, thats the main reason springtail farms are even made the way they are

[@Workof]

@@dookcurruff9047 he said he wants to fill it up, then take the swimming springtails out and put them in a new container, im saying he doesnt even need to do that

[@MightBeSmart]

@@Workof you cant generalise mites. Some mites dont like water, but that is mostly mites who spawn outside humid areas, while many humid species dont care, by filling the tub with water makes the mites run away and by t Doing that you just speed up the infection to otjer enclosures if its the wrong mites.

[@melissah4084]

Dang! That's one gorgeous colored trapdoor spider! I hope you had/or are having, a great vacation!

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I'm so used to seeing trapdoors that are just black and dark brown, so it was crazy to see this one with its vivid colors and cool pattern! What a bummer that we only get to see it in rehousing videos😅

[@hxcvideogamer]

I have a liphistius sp. Niphanae and it's black with some colors. The liphistius genus is such a beautiful ancient species of trapdoor. Also very pricey.

[@ScalyFloof]

Maybe try adding Tarrus mites into your springtail colony. They are predatory mites that hunt other mites and die off on their own once they have no more prey to hunt.

[@CarliVala]

That roach is gonna tell the others one hell of a story! I hope there aren't any pesky mites in the enclosure.

[@balmainshawty]

As a long term invert keeper it truly pained me to watch you poke the spider around for what seemed like forever in that bin just to get a "threat posture"...

[@jetsam666]

Yea me too. I skipped the whole part because I didn't want to see and it was one of the very few vids I didn't like.

[@akranium311]

Same here

[@artispeace5978]

Hhk

[@albytross8681]

When you only see this spider every two years, it’s understandable to want to maximize the brief time that you get to actually look at it and watch it. I highly doubt this spider is going to be messed with for the next year or two, so the amount of stress being put on it is probably so minimal lol

[@EduardoSanchez-ds1kx]

Quit being little bitches about it...

[@wow-eo3kp]

Petko i just wanted to say how much i admire you. I just got out of a very difficult relationship where i lost myself and my passion for everything. Seeing how much you love what you do makes me happy. Youre not only a great distraction but make me fall in love with the hobby again. Thanks for everything bro.

[@naychaboi]

I think you’ll find clay substrate to be much better for trapdoor spiders, these species are naturally found in clay, you should do some experimenting and share your experiences. On a clay substrate I’d be surprised if it didn’t make a burrow and lid in a matter of hours instead of days. Much better for the structural integrity of their burrows, and plants grow better too.

[@katherineirons4967]

That is a beautiful spider! Even if it didn't finish making the trapdoor that was a really cool timelapse to watch

[@Ironraven593]

Young trapspider: i feel terrible. Trapspider now: i still feel terrible and fast.

[@BojarskyLeGrand]

Such a beautiful spider! She is really nicely coloured. Thank you for your video, perfect as usual 👌

[@richardwentzel8941]

Iv just stumbled across your videos and how can say it i think you're a genius. The time laps thing is incredible. I love it. Im probably gonna watch all your stuff now tonight. Good stuff!!

[@elizabethdurocher8308]

What a beautiful spider. Love the orange coloring.

[@ARKANGELLALI895]

Hi guess what ? I got my first baby tarantula today thanks to you, I've grown to love them sooo much...😊thank you for helping me love them... God bless you sweetie...hi to your wife and babygirl as well.....

[@angela_tarantulas]

This is a beautiful trapdoor spider 🎉 awesome rehousing!

[@bridgethoskins9809]

Another great video!! Hope you have an awesome vacation!!

[@Antwansauce]

wow i use to watch this channel a really long time ago! glad to see it’s still growing and evolving

[@Billbeaux]

You're stressing the spider out so you can get a threat-posture photo? Ok

[@lknanml]

That is an AWESOME looking spider!!!!!

[@matthewroyce7315]

Spiders ,tarantulas, they absolutely terrify me. But they also intrigue me. I think they are scary, and absolutely badass all in one. Cool video. I appreciate your fascination.

[@rachelsteedley5441]

You help me get over my fear of spiders along with kat and Dave as well thank you for that

[@The_Slavstralian]

Those colours are gorgeous.

[@Vectures]

I'd rather wait and see the spider build it's home when its more relaxed rather then stressed by the lights.

[@michaelyork2292]

So glad that the glacial silt reached you Petko!

[@B.O.S.H_music]

That's a beautiful trapdoor, those colours ❤

[@Frogger]

Loved the time lapse of the spider building it's (half) trapdoor. Hope you manage to capture the rest of the webbing action.

[@maryjodennis5688]

Beautiful spicy spider! Love the sounds! Have a lovely holiday with your family! Great video!

[@sandywalter9728]

Great video! Enjoy vacation! ❤

[@izakbiron3845]

so glad to get an update! I always show people the last trap door spider video when I introduce them to the channel :D

[@kandihinshaw1870]

That is a very beautiful trapdoor spider. I love the coloration. Two very bright coloration. It's very pretty.

[@akoelbl2003]

you r amazing ! I only can guess at how much I've learned from you. this could be a educational course. thank you !!!

[@BobyChanMan]

mites in the springtail colony, thats something i didnt know could happen. Thanks for the info!!!

[@theoistrying9904]

Would love to see that springtail rehousing video!

[@casitube22]

That's the most amazing looking trap door spider. Love it❤

[@BellaIsa8603]

Thank you for sharing 😊😊😍😍

[@JasonBooth79]

lmao, what's a threat posture? no room for a trapdoor to care about that, it bites 😂 gorgeous spider.

[@Ehh_why-not]

Im pretty sure that in the time laps i noticed mites in the trap door spiders new enclosure not sure how big an issue that is but i figured id say something

[@codijacobs2896]

Petco you know we already knew we were gonna get some sand action but thanks for the heads up!!! Awesome rehoming and keep up the hard work!!!

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Dark Den

[@agedgraves3082]

Such a gorgeous spider

[@michellemorningstar880]

Wow So darn cool love it thanks so very much..enjoy your time off

[@focus4088]

Hey petko love from Slovenia! Love your videos, hope your doing great! 😀😁

[@mayajjubilee5797]

Wow, im not really a fan of spiders, but this guy looks so dope looking. Such a pretty color! 😍

[@mayajjubilee5797]

This is quite facinating to see how spiders live and how to take care of them haha.

[@theoistrying9904]

I LOVE the trap door he made previously 😍

[@sayurikitamura7109]

How beautiful 😍 (I'm so sorry to hear of the mites incident 😔)

[@Mengo.Spider]

Che animali spettacolari ❤

[@ramonmestre5100]

About time I have been asking about it

[@pebcak420]

lol petko never stop. i love your videos.

[@binkyboo4793]

Oh my glob! It's SO pretty! It's a shame you never see it out, it's a cute little bugger. X

[@utesommer8214]

A real nice color!

[@Kloud5280]

Always nice to watch your videos, update on your biggest spider ???

[@elisabeteart]

I also have a mite problem 🥲the enclosures of my isopods are full of them. They're hard to get rid of. Fortunately, the enclosures of my tarantulas don't have them. Have a great vacation!

[@Myriamele]

H.O.L.Y. C.O.W. that spider was MAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!! I was jumping every time it bolted. It's so cool looking, I love those colors!!!!

[@frogprincess412]

The webbing is so awesome and really quite beautiful.

[@kyleritchie2369]

Nice vid !

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video rehousing Petcko

[@ElvenSpellmaker]

It's a shame to see the last video not doing so well, it was a good video! =)

[@hattylaird9756]

We love you Petco! 🐈 My child and I -- from Scotland.

You are a very good KZbinr.

[@TheDarkDen]

thx :3

[@deewhitcha6014]

trapdoors are so cool!

[@aphiliarachno]

I guess one can call that Orange Bity Thing, too, right?😂 But it is beautiful. Have a nice vacation!🌞

[@LC-ej4dy]

The sound of it slapping the inside of that tub 😮

[@darkwolf5733]

I was wondering how you make the doors and enclosures? Do you already have a video on this? Is not could you make one explaining how you do it?

[@benkohnen9918]

Awesome video, what kind of trap door spider is it? Thank you for all the entertainment

[@gorgewashington1216]

nice transfer i hop she finish the trap door !

[@winstonbennett8745]

next time you rehouse the spider, you can try and keep the front part of the trapdoor + web tunnel, and use that as a premade burrow instead.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@johnbest1978]

Petco you should change that enclosure for your trapdoor spider cause of the mites. Don't be surprised if your spider dies cause mites got in the enclosure when you added springtails so I would change it again asap. And you really shouldn't poke it continuously like that just to get a threat posture.

[@drhank5569]

I feed my springtails mushrooms and yeast exclusively. Not sure what you feed yours, but the only time I ever got mites in a spring colony was when I fed them rice. May not always be the case, but in my experience rice = mites.

[@ThePassionOfTheMarc]

I can't wait until Petko builds human enclosures.

[@CedarRaven]

Love your channel. Do you sell your merch in USD? I didn't see that option available.

[@Monk-eee]

hey there Petko, at around 9:43 there are some great threat poses maybe you can use some of them for whatever idea that you're thinking of... Another awesome and informative video. Thanks and I hope your vacation was wonderful.

[@liongaming4577]

Love your Videos! What kind of substrate did you use in the Trapdoor Enclosure?

[@TheDarkDen]

mix of coco fiber, potting soil and peat moss

[@tampansonnrivas2265]

Do a vid on the Springtail

[@jamiequinton1526]

Were is link too shop love these vids BTW

[@jdove39]

Imagine making a human sized trap door spider trap and grabbing the post mates person as they approach your front door with food. 🤣🤣🤣

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Spider, spider, trapdoor spider what ya gonna do? Spider, spider...

[@masteradvance]

KZbin didn't show me last week video now that you mention it in this one

[@allydrawsthings]

the balls on that roach. mans strolled right in

[@__Nikola__]

Odličan video! Mogao si joj ubaciti onaj stari poklopac da vidiš da li bi ga iskoristila za novu rupu :D

[@satanicpenguin6663]

Hey im still pretty new to the invertebrate world but im thinking about geting a bark scorpion any tips for good substrate to try any advice is appreciated 😁

[@YourLocalPondPimp]

I love the coloration of that trapdoor spider!! what’s the scientific name??

[@dr.quackers2559]

@darkden I watched 8 legged freak an now terrified of spiders. That being said if you came home walked in an all the doors were open what would you do? Is there a contingency plan?

[@mrs_pinkmist]

Can you wrap it with magnetic shading like black walls so when u take it away we might be able to see inside? like ants almost?

[@hallonegative]

Petko, what was your very first tarantula? I feel like I knew the answer once but I’ve forgotten 😅

[@Baki_and_Friends]

Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 😊

[@u4ia_fubar_75]

A new name - Jaffa, after the orange 🍊🕷️

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

Are you gonna go to Animal con this year I didn't see u listed for meets and greets

[@Raziel1984]

4:37 :"Look mom!! i'm in the dark den! i'm on youtube!"

[@GamesBondLP]

12:02 i think there are some mites in the new enclossur

[@amandarobb2856]

I really enjoyed Mondays video. Something to consider, it is summertime in North America and Europe too I believe. Many people go on holiday and often if people go away for just a weekend they tie Monday into a weekend away. This can affect the viewership. Your numbers might more accurately reflect how many are on vacation lol. Definately do more videos again! Thanks and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️

[@jochenmachine]

Cool video! are trap door venomous? I always thought they had a bad bite?

[@TheDarkDen]

I also assume but I don't have a real data

[@2332fun]

No rainbow spider shirts available for female sizing. I'm willing to wear a male cut, but what would the size conversion be?

[@Gusbusbus]

Spiders ❤

[@DR-gt2vh]

Sadly a successful spider video needs to be called "HORROR: I got a PAINFUL BITE by the LARGEST and MOST VENOMOUS SPIDER in the WORLD. IT NEARLY KILLED ME!!!" The trapdoor spider is very interesting, but that is one of the species you can just pretend to have in an empty enclosure 😉

[@Liverbird1984]

I love all your videos Petko. Does your trapdoor spider have a name?. I know sometimes i get a notification that you've uploaded and when i go to see the video i cannot find it 🤷‍♀️ Perhaps your patreons see it first?. If not i'm just wondering if others have the same problem as me. It resulted in me being a few days late to view the mating video. I'm in the UK. I found this video just fine though ao perhaps a temporary glitch?. Have a good vacation Petko.

[@vwvw4]

The spider hanging from your computer looked like a daddy-long-legs/harvestman which is order Opiliones and oddly related to scorpions. Kind of hard to tell for sure as no closeup and it would be dangling in another spider's web. If not can you identify it? Great video as always!

[@ahmetkerem4769]

It is not a daddy long legs as referred to opilliones (harvestmen), but a daddy long legs spider (Pholcidae), most likely Holocnemus pluchei. Pholcids, also known as cellar spiders are true spiders and produce silk for webbing, as opposed to Opilliones that are not actually spiders and can not produce silk, and also lack venom glands.

[@gavinsmith6924]

Do you do international shipping to the US?

[@mizzstrawberry_]

Trapdoors are far too beautiful to never see them
