MEET NEW FRIENDS - Terraplaza additions

[@lifeofkarlman4688]

You actually liked my skull?!?! Ugh, jokes are on me I guess xD

[@pambrackett4335]

How about Brenda for Linda's new friend. The enclosures are looking really good. Nice job.

[@dustinjames6662]

Hey Petko, millipedes are pretty specialized in their care (I believe you’ve had some in the past so I won’t be too specific). Deep, moist substrate is crucial, and must have edible components in it. You also cannot house them with anything that might attack and eat them while they are molting (this includes isopods). I trust you will do your research and I hope he is able to recover because he’s amazing! Someone else mentioned in the comments to use surgical glue to treat the crack- this works, but maybe talk to someone who has experience first-hand.

[@trueaussieray9093]

"Linda" is the spanish word for pretty. So I suggest "Bonita" which is another spanish synonym for pretty. It also makes sense as they are Latin American species.

[@luisderueda7350]

Agree

[@thlis6582]

I think Bela/Bella is more appropriate because it is also a Latin name which is a synonym of Linda.

Imma riot if this doesn't come through

Buena idea :)

Wanda might be perfect for Theraposa Blondi. She makes a perfect rival with Linda. 😁

[@trishagilbert8571]

Love this

[@aSinisterKiid]

Yes, put the Dark Den sign on the ceiling right above your head for when you are filming. It will give your videos a steady and constant marking with your brand and will be a unique signature on your clips. You can make it fit perfectly in the frame when you are standing at your desk filming. It will look brilliant.

[@fuzzy_mates.christopher.8129]

Great idea 💡

[@kandihinshaw1870]

I would sell you for the crack on your giant millipede shell. Or its carapace or exoskeleton.. you could take a little bit of surgical glue known as new skin and put it on the crack itself and that might help it heal. That way when it goes to shed it'll shut off in one piece. You could also contact somebody new is a lot about giant millipedes and ask them some questions on how to fix that issue with the crack in the exoskeleton. It is something to ask questions about. Cuz you do have an injury to this insect and it might need to be treated. I may I don't know if they're too many veterinarians deal with millipedes in your area. But you definitely could see if there's some way to close the crack or just seal it in a bit so it doesn't get infected. And the millipede doesn't get worse. But I would suggest just taking a little bit of new skin or surgical glue. And applying a small little. To it and then getting that closed up a bit. I don't know if it'll help don't know if it'll keep it from leaking. One never knows. But if you know somebody in your area that knows a lot about giant millipedes and how to heal a crack in the exoskeleton. It'd be worth asking them about it.

[@90snetworkproductions79]

Just had a spider crawl down from the ceiling in front of my TV when I clicked on your video, seems they like watching you too 😂😂

[@darren8912]

Some great new additions, T blondi should be called "Big Bertha".

[@Tacomaholic]

The "fangs" on the camel spider are the chelicera.

[@adrianbenten3926]

I suggest Miranda as a name for the blondi, I think Linda and Miranda sounds nice in combination

[@karenstephens8788]

That sling looks NOTHING like an adult GBB. That’s amazing.

[@whatsupchris]

It is . They go through one of the biggest transformations in the tarantula world . Also one of my favorite T's

[@somebrewssomeviews420]

@@whatsupchris our GBB we got as a smaller sling than “the man, the myth, the legend.” And she looms just like the one in the video. Great buy bro! Our GBB is our favorite Spooder. She in fact just molted and looks so cool.

"every animal will benefit from a varied diet..." Not so sure the grasshoppers would agree 🙂

[@aaronj2913]

I think another key to camel spiders survival is substrate depth. On arachnoforum the most success people have had was when they had a substrate depth of at least a foot. Yes they live i not climates, but they only emerge when it is favorable (nighttime).

[@adisturbedoneandi]

Zilla. Even if its the same name as a tarantula caretaker I used to follow and his Zilla passed away very very long time ago, but she was also a T-Blondi! Congratulations on new friends!

[@mariestubbs4606]

Loving the new additions cant wait to see what you come up with for their enclosures ...

[@angrypotato5908]

Hell yeah I've always been so fascinated with camel spider I'm glad to see you have a new one in the dark den

[@Bioshroom]

I've said this before but I'll always say it again: your informative, calm and funny content style is AMAZING for those afraid of spiders. I came here years ago just to "scare" myself with the spiders and centipedes, they horrified me. Now I absolutely love them. I'm not in a situation to own any tarantulas but I get some truly massive wolf spiders in my yard that I've caught crickets for and fed-- you can hear the crunch with some of these big girls. I'll be a loyal fan to Dark Den for life, you had turned my lifelong phobia into a full appreciation for creepy crawlies. I hope you come out with some merch again in the future, I've already got my lovely t-shirt!

[@arconzy9348]

Cool new additions to The Final Dark Den!

[@bard4uu]

So excited to watch this! I recently got a pet beetle that I named Ada so she and i are gonna watch this together

[@catzy02]

Linda is kind of an old lady sounding name. So this T. Blondi needs one like that. Gladys is what I thought of first. But Eleanor or Edith I think would be great too. Love the new additions!

[@jDDignity]

i second that

It was a great a surprise seeing you there! We were in a hurry and you had a conversation with a customer, that's the reason I've missed to greet you. Maybe next time and greetings from Hungary! ;)

[@markuslehman5604]

Maybe Hilda? It is generated from a old german word meaning battle woman :)

[@josechula1392]

Nice additions!! Call her Bela. Both Linda and Bela are synonymous with beautiful, and is also short and easy to pronounce

[@leaholle6916]

You should really get to terraristika in Hamm, Germany once it starts again! The biggest reptile expo on earth if i´m not mistaken and always a nice experience! Also a lot of people from around the world are there, maybe even some fans or fellow youtubers. And I think Sarah would be a nice name for the new Theraphosa.

[@GL3NE]

I read on a forum that a Solfugids' lifespan benefits from nightly temperature drops, a restricted diet, and a hibernation period for the winter time. Solfugids rarely pass up food in captivity because food is scarce in their natural habitat and they will eat whatever is available. Many owners feed them regularly and keep them hot 24/7 which may be the reasons for their short lifespan in captivity.

[@dontattack625]

Hey Petko, about the Chamel Spider: They are hiding under rocks and in the sand to avoide heat. Thats why they only come out in the night. I have never kept them but it seem's logical to me so alot of heat might not be the reason why the others died. Maybe im completly wrong with afterall. Better check again..

[@rebel4466]

Their latin name solifugae means something along the lines of "fleeing from the sun", so you're totally right. But a day and night cycle with higher and lower temperatures could be beneficial. In a certain range of course. After all, even hiding under rocks in a desert will be a pretty warm way to spend your day. I'm thinking something like 30°C during the day time

[@kyleculp7520]

My local ones in Washington dart around during the day when it's 105+ and start to come back out around sundown when it cools alot.

[@j0v123]

Hi Petko first thank you so much for the shout out and for the tlicotl abolopis it has been rehoused and fed....I am so glad that you actually liked the monster I brought you....It was amazing to meet you and I had a blast!!

[@nicholasschubert9669]

Maybe „Helga“ would be a good name. Quite old German name 😉

[@rebel4466]

[@FatBehaviorReacts]

I had quite a huge collection of tarantulas but fell on hard times this past year and had to give them away as I could no longer afford to feed them, and my roach colony never took off, the circumstances just sucked.

[@whatsupchris]

I tried keeping dubias but they wouldn't breed . I have since (only 4 females left) found out that I probably didn't have a high enough humidity for them to breed

[@FatBehaviorReacts]

@@whatsupchris I'm thinking that's what the issue was for me, I found that I would be feeding my t's from the colony, but had to feed more often than they would reproduce and pretty soon they just were not reproducing. Well, I couldn't afford to keep ordering roaches, with the shipping alone being fifty bucks, so I gave my t's to my friend.

[@ducky8552]

Sorry to hear that man :( I wish you luck with all your troubles.

@@FatBehaviorReacts i had them in 40% but couldn't keep it any higher . I even used a humidifier, kept them dark and quiet ... everything I read to do and they would not mate . I would see a egg hanging out a butt then later find it dried up on the bottom .

My vote on a name for the blondi is Matilda. :) Stunning animals!

[@kerstinapedo]

I agree. Linda and Matilda sounds great. Besides, when I was a child I had an plastikspider looking like a tarantula and you can let her jumping. Her name was aunty Matilda. I loved to play with her and even took her to school and made my teacher screaming and running. Next day all my classmates also bring plastikinsects.

[@ross5961]

Linda means beautiful in spanish so along with that theme for your theraphosa blondi, the name "Bella" but like with the english pronunciation "bela" would be an amazing name for her. Bella also mean beauty in spanish

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Suggestion: Ferrera When we think of Linda, we think of Lindor truffles. Not to mention, northern South America is known for producing cacao. So we thought the second one should be a chocolate-related name. Ferrera, in reference to the iconic Ferrero Rocher. OR Matilda. Because of her happy dance we think she's a "Waltzing Matilda" like the name of the famous Aussie song

[@apss5736]

i love the name ferrera
