Wow!!! Awesome Petko! 🙌🙌🙌

[@cherbearian]

You've been working on this for so long, and all your effort just shines through. The Junglearium is absolutely incredible and I can't wait to see it planted and teeming with life 😍

[@gavinlillis9248]

Hi from Australia. Been hanging for this update.

[@ataka2142]

A couple Orb Weavers are definitely called for in this setup! A trapdoor species that burrows into cliffs would also be nice. It looks incredible so far!

[@20PINKluvr]

I've seen videos of wild obts and it seems that they do burrow in roadside cliffs

[@AAC1714]

At that point it would truly be a self sustaining ecosystem with a food pyramid forming

[@LuanViero]

Hi Petko! I don't know if someone has already say it, but I'll give u a tip. When gluing PVC pipes, it's good to scratch with a sandpaper before. It will fix better. Can't wait to see this junglearium done!

[@Tropical_Tutorials]

I know of several case where vampire crabs have eaten dart frogs once they've been kept together. I'd probably skip the crabs for this setup to avoid the risk; you probably wouldn't ever see them regardless.

[@robf.6273]

Vampire crabs will definitely eat frogs if they can catch them

[@Vectures]

@@robf.6273 gotta a pred for the crabs too xD I've seen a certain tropical gecko can be used as one. But not sure if they would co-habitat with dart frogs.

[@robf.6273]

@@Vectures I’ve seen mourning geckos be housed with vampire crabs and they both keep each others populations in check

[@matevzkoman8478]

@@Vecturesday geckos ken be kept with dart frogs

[@TheDarkDen]

Hmmm, but are those cases from the enclosures this big? I would assume that having such a large space to form different territories should offer completely different dynamic! But thanks for pointing it out.

[@Vectures]

I'd say create a mini biosphere starting with getting certain populations of beneficial animals to start the grow of the jungle-arium with then eventually adding natural predators to keep balance within the environment

[@joannegalway1226]

Petko, you’re a star! You have a great imagination, and you have brought that into reality!😊😊 I’m sure you feel pretty proud about yourself! Awesome job 💙🕷️xx

[@КристианБонев]

HOLLY... I did not expect this kind of beauty. GREAT JOB BUD!!!

[@Kraus-]

That's a pretty cool magnum opus. Peak chilling vibes with a couch next to it.

[@silasfoulon]

We love junglearium👍🪴👍🪴👍🪴👍🪴👍

[@getdown464]

hey petko, i used to work with glass panes and when making holes in glass you always need to drill from both sides, so the cut meets in the middle, that way it avoid shattering and leaves a clean hole

[@maverickstclare3756]

Good job you were earing your safety socks while moving that really heavy rock!

[@murder13love]

Can't wait to see plant life in there.. it will just bring the entire setup to life!

[@BellaIsa8603]

Ooo, add lots of moss on the tree trunks, rocks, etc. Just that a lone will make a big difference

[@TyeDyedIguana]

That should be absolutely beautiful, can't wait for the finished product! Plop a couch in front of it and it would be the best place to relax at the end of the day.

[@sandypeacock1460]

Super excited to see it come together!!

[@BellaIsa8603]

So wickedly cool!!!😮😮❤❤🤩🤩😍😍. Thank you so much for updating and sharing with us

[@caughtafaygo]

That build is what brought me here and i e been so happy to watch all the progress..thank you Petko for keeping me company through the hard times! Much love!

[@noahharlock3660]

Hello long time subscriber first time commenter here. This junglearium update makes me so excited. I have been waiting in-between every video for this update and its finally here. I look forward to the finishing of this project. Keep it up because it looks awesome af.

[@noahharlock3660]

@thedarkden22 I don't know what you had in mind, but your videos are gift enough for me. The tender care and love you show and have for all these amazing animals really warms my heart and makes me happy. Thank you berry much. :D

[@dororexgaming4205]

some zoos i've seen keep potions dart frogs, emerald tree boas, and smokey jungle frogs together in the similar large paludarium habitat, might be a good mix for the enclosure, but the boa might need more vines and stuff

[@donnauk2493]

You can get a filter sock that will calm the noise of the water and also it will be extra filtration for you xx

[@Drunken_gecko6890]

Hillstream loaches would look sick in the aquarium part, and mabey some cherry shrimps

[@Lobotomistmankyeh]

great to see the junglearium progress! what a fun project!

[@Wingsong333]

Beautiful and so relaxing.

[@MLGodzilla]

Coming together really nicely

[@bernardjosephwilliamsiv4760]

Dude I've watched every episode about this enclosure and it is looking epic keep up the good work!

[@nathannewton6737]

Fantastic petko!!!! Getting super excited!!!

[@dakotamoore2405]

If you cut through a stack of sponges with your circle bit. You can then wet the sponges that are in the middle and it will help you cutting through glass next time👍 you make great videos

[@TheHobGoblin]

Its amazing how far your channel has come over the years, this build is pretty awesome!

[@gaborparniczki3583]

Looks insane! Can't wait to see the plants and animals in it :) Great job!

[@R1ChArD83]

its realy startint to form to the point were we ca see how you see it in your head. love it!!!

[@RogueScooby]

I love what it is turning out to be, can't wait for the plants... and creepy crawlers 🕷🦂🪲🐟🐠🦎😄😍😄

[@aninajera8910]

Absolutely amazing!

[@dtoons1100]

So excited to see how it looks with the plants!

[@JELLYSKA]

Hey Petko! I'm Janka, long time viewer back from the apartment-couch days :D I love how the junglearium is turning out so far and I see great potential in it. I was wondering if you would accept some plant babies from my collection at the upcoming Terraplaza in the spring, if you are attending (I'm a local ). It would be an honor to see them thrive in such a perfect environment so lmk! Have a nice one

[@TheDarkDen]

Sure, if you have plants compatible with this environment! I won't come on next TP, but I will come for the one after that :)

[@michellemorningstar880]

Wow Looks Amazing love it

[@Workof]

If i had a Terrarium like that, id add an area in the middle where i could sit

[@TheDarkDen]

I can sit on the rocks xD

[@joemoore6210]

Wow can't believe you built all that. That's incredible

[@jurassic_hobbyonmyaltaccou3878]

You should add vines or something to cover the dirt

[@McPilch]

Biotope gallery recently did a HUGE build.. BUT.. you're building yours single-handedly and you're coming from limited experience in such projects, so this is even MORE MASSIVE overall!! 👏

[@BellaIsa8603]

Their build were for a company not their own and he had so many help. Also, he stated biggest private build in the first video for this. But still that build with Biotype gallery was awesome 😊.

[@TheDarkDen]

Yeah, I had a personal DIY project in mind ^^

[@McPilch]

@ashley c yep, that's why I was saying what Petko is undertaking is INCREDIBLE!! Biotope had multiple hands and inputs, and they've been doing "builds" as their primary business for a long time. So with Petko having never done as detailed and giant a build as this, it is truly impressive. 🤩

[@McPilch]

@The Dark Den dude.. just starting on my first ever "build" (besides sling enclosures and simple scorpion enclosures lol).. a paludarium for future frogs.. first time even using silicone (what a mess!) and now I feel even MORE in awe at your Junglearium!!

[@mellewedin8221]

This so epic so far! I am so happy to be watching this.

[@Frogger]

Looks amazing! Wish I had the space and time to do something similar 😍 Suggestion: make a Jungleariun playlist for people to watch the whole building process.

[@TheDarkDen]

Thanks, I already have the playlist made :P

[@danielballard3364]

anoles and geckos are typical for a community junglearium, then dart frogs and some fish in the water area, put lots of water plants there though.. so many ideas that are possible with a junglearium of this size : ) *thumbs up*

[@danvanmuizenberg6650]

Next time you need a stream of water to cut glass, use a large thin plastic bottle with a small hole in it, you can get a pretty decent flow and duration from a 4l milk jug or something like that

[@botanicogreenthumb]

Hi petko, you should put some hennet on the walls to cover the black side walls with climbingplats. maybe passionfruit. nice build! lookingforward to the moss and plats

[@-kaori]

Awesome build, looks great and I'm really excited to be able to follow a project of yours for the first time as a fairly new viewer. Also nice to see the tree trunk, which I remembered from an older video of yours while trying to catch up on your past videos a bit. One thing I wanted to point out though, there have been many cases where animals go into water tubes, so you might want to put some mesh on those or something, before you end up with frogs in the filtration tank or fishes or whatever else.

[@anylife_photography]

Hell yeahhhhhh!!!!! This is gonna be sick

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video it’s looking great Petcko

[@AV_402]

absolutely awesome! put a beta in the lil pond.

[@TheBlubunni]

Looking awesome!!! Well done. 🙂

[@andrewmartinez02]

Looks awesome Petko!!!

[@CraigTalksAbout]

That is one impressive piece of work.

[@cosmic.synergy]

Oh god. When the music started, I guess I was not fully paying attention because I was like "OH SHIT, SOMETHING BROKE!"....."oh...oh wait, it's just intro for music. Carry on, carry on!"

[@ShadySheev]

Very nice looking build! You really put a lot of hard work into this project. Have you considered putting in some giant toads as inhabitants instead of vampire crabs and dart frogs? Something like a pair of Rhaebo (Bufo) guttatus for example? Dart frogs and crabs might be sort of vanishing in such a huge terrarium and there is a high risk that the crabs will kill the frogs.

[@mariestubbs4606]

Cant wait for the next part when you plant it.

[@Mister_Matthew]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!

[@seshyweshy]

this bring smiles to my face and i can’t wait :)

[@person893]

I've been waiting so long for this video

[@zyankhali2105]

Looking good, can't wate for the planting. And the animals, of course. :)

[@giwrgostsirikoudis6799]

It turned out pretty cool, i love it

[@angela_tarantulas]

What an epic jungle-arium 🥰

[@Rivera_Genetics]

Love to watch this Project 🔥

[@MANNY100123]

Amazing video, Man! Can't wait to see it with the plants and critters later on! ;)

[@spingirl4855]

Turned out really good!

[@clairehill2584]

Looking forward to the next update!!!

[@ChantalsCritters]

Looking Great

[@Letsbedisciples]

You need to make more videos. I'm watching your old Videos for the 3rd time 🤣

[@zzzSolgrynn]

This is one of the coolest projects ive seen on youtube, looks awesome dude cant wait to see the way it looks completely finished :D

[@waynecummins9713]

Excellent video UK 🇬🇧 👍 👏 👌 😀

[@kellbell8866]

That looks so amazing! It looks so natural already and reminds me of the stream banks that travel down a hill at a park i live nearby. I can't wait to see the addition of plants and creatures. Beautiful job! Also I just want to say I appreciate your patience. A lot of people don't realize how heavy a bucket of dirt is especially with as many as you have hauled downstairs. I wonder what your neighbors are thinking if they see you hauling dirt from your yard inside. 😆

[@TheDarkDen]

There's a residential building across the streets so people looking at my yard are probably thinking I'm some crazy guy :'D

[@katherineirons4967]

This looks amazing, the effort and quality with covering up the pipes and things like that is fantastic. Can't wait to hear what you're planning on putting in there!

[@YouDonMessedUp]

Sweet setup, Petko!

[@Exoticpets3256]

Mourning geckos would be a pretty cool addition if it’s baby escape proof!

[@Jlampron]

this is a dream, hello from Boston Petko!!

[@masteradvance]

Love to hear the Steve-T and Anthony Vincent song there!!

[@zebedeemadness2672]

When you've put the final substrate in, the first animals i would say Slaters (Isopods) & Springtails to let them get established, before other animals.

[@chiyo9014]

I've done that dirt clay method on a small scale and did not have luck with longevity. A hard balance to keep the moisture correct and everything starts falling apart. Hopefully it goes different for you! Either way it looks good now!

[@michaelhill1176]

Love the music choice😀

[@Bortuk]

simply amazing!

[@Lisa-eu9fy]

Awesomeness! 🕷♥️♥️♥️🕷

[@NickDurham]

Epic, simply epic!

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Petko! This is wonderful!! All your hours of hard work are really paying off!

[@RobalLdz]

Good job brother, keep it up!👍🕷

[@dennisr.d.mascarenas3886]

You are wearing a t shirt with the flag of my home state.. All the best from Colorado USA.. 😎🇺🇸

[@geraldlewis4027]

You have done an amazing job. That looks incredible. The finished product will be nothing short of amazing

[@sandywalter9728]

Your video was so sharp and crisp... new camera????? It's great!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@JPAYCHECK0069]

Im from Colorado cool to see you wearing that shirt!!!!!

[@michaelgrunwald6326]

I only see one problem that sooner or later condensation from the fogger will remain in the hoses, you have to make sure that the hoses that go to the right and left are a bit higher than the ends so that the water can run out should it become too much same problem with mine and changing it afterwards is a real pain in the ass. otherwise a very cool part👌

[@TheDarkDen]

Yeah I was aware of that and I made them all slope so the water can't pool in the tubes!

[@drchino]

Yes Petko! It's really coming together nicely, I'm so jealous that you get to do things like this. I can only dream about it! Looking forward to future updates to see how it grows and thrives.

[@marysaltlife1427]

That is gorgeous already, and can't wait to see it finished! Thanks for sharing.

[@deanfrost9494]

The junglearuum is such a cool and ambitious build ! It's so satisfying to see your vision for it coming together. Excited to see it in the future with plants and and livestock. Great job!

[@finutzhi4006]

I remember you going on nature adventure digging the big stumb out😂😂👌

[@Plants-and-Ts]

This is awesome! I’m super jealous

[@person893]

Can't wait for the next one

[@Mitchcraft.]

Looks great

[@Lulukith]

looking good

[@crowofjudgement8810]

You could add those velvet worm creatures, i forget their name but they shoot glue like silk out appendages near their mouth to incapacitate prey.

[@max_robak_mrowki]

This is like a dream come true

[@jb222111]

Brilliant!
