PRETTY TARANTULA IS A THING - Avicularia care sheet

[@Bb24138]

I'm honestly surprised that you don't sell your designs, you always make awesome designs and I'm sure alot of people would want to buy some

[@paul-susanlee2]

You are correct. A Lot of people would buy his designs

[@wileysworld9439]

Yea this is the perfect size for my turantula

[@dumbcaliforniadude]

i scrolled down to see if he sells his designs, theyre so cool!

[@mindfortress105]

I was looking for a link in the description. I simply cannot find these acrylic terrariums anywhere in Serbia and ordering from China would be very expensive

[@dfranklin9921]

@@mindfortress105 I don't know where they are in general even in the US we don't have a place near me FOR MILES that has anything like this

[@finnkrmr185]

You need to start an online store, where you can buy things for spiders and merch of you!!! ❤️

[@winterume]

esp his plastic glass enclosures

[@jenniferspacek5725]

Jamie's Tarantulas and Fear Not Tarantulas have enclosures for sale.

[@robblawrence7540]

And ts themselves

[@winterume]

@nevaeh peanut wow thank you for reminding me, sorry, i was just starting to learn the hobby that year. i was not aware what is the specific name of the material he used for his enclos. thanks, fucktwat.

[@prestonjoyce8790]

that would be SOOOO helpful to spider owners

[@SuperLoops]

4:20 i love how spiders walk when they walk slowly and you can see how their legs move

[@ganjalfdergrune4279]

4:20? Is it that time again? time to blaze it up, I allready did ^^ But yeah, u absolutly right, I love that 2

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Avics always seem so sweet in nature! Plus they're super fuzzy which helps me with my fear of spooders. The cute pink color, or the pink tootsies also help lol.

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

"So, can you go inside now?" Nope! ;D

[@ktykat79]

Cottonmouthxx yassss! I agree! Love the pink footsies!

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Christina Thurston T's have such adorable feets in general, but when they are coloured they get meeee lmao

[@aracknoinfiniteeseekertrip9689]

Cottonmouthxx they are also one of the few breeds that can be communal. It's how the 2 I have caught my attention initially, & upon inspection of their amazing colors onto of that I got 2 of those where I was going to get 1, & a gorgeous mature whip scorpion.....i will go back for that lol!

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Sean Schoonmaker didn't know that! That's cool :) I love m. Balfouri communal setups a lot!

[@grobanite4ever85]

The Caribana Versicolor is the cutest tarantula ever.

[@deathrooster14]

Definately on my list, as well as A. Geniculata and B. Bohemi.

[@1986Rena]

Agree

[@JonKatKobiTobin]

Nahhh it has to be the Brachypelma Albopilosum! 😎🕷️👌 So fluffy and cute 😂

[@Kn0ob]

I recommended a bunch of my friends which have arachnophobia because watching your videos allowed me to get rid of that fear. It seems its working on more people than just me, its really inspiring and I hope you will continue the quality videos!

[@AngryAndy_]

OMG..... Marco you have no idea how grateful I am to you, I got a C. Versi sling about 1/4inch very small this weekend..... I was sitting here waiting for a new video to come up on your channel and I looked up and saw my sling walking across my ceiling above were her enclosure is. Now the part that I want to thank you for is A; your videos have made me calm in emergency situation and B:I had my catch kit close to hand all in one place and the tool that i used was the bottle arboreal catching cup you showed us :)

[@AngryAndy_]

Also yes I found out how it escaped and is now not able to gain but I'm sat here and I keep checking it's going to be one of those evenings!!!!!

[@alexiscondit898]

I have been binge watching videos on Caribena versicolors. This has got to be one of the best care videos I have seen. Love the spider and her new set up! Gorgeous! I also enjoyed seeing how much you love your spiders. Excited to get mine!

[@Di-mq5eb]

They have such a cute goofy walk! I can't wait to get my own avicularia

[@Gwyntomology]

Great info! Love the avic (& cousins) slings! Their cuteness & clumsiness is the whole reason we started in this hobby!

[@splashofsweet8956]

My c. versi sling bolted up my arm 😂

[@XxLoNgLoStWoLfxX]

Omg that intro 😂😂😂😂 because of you I saved a beautiful jumping spider this weekend!!! Usually I would have just vacuumed it up because i was terrified of them but im slowly trying to handle spiders around my house. I'm assuming the one I saved this weekend was a female because of how big it was. I used my own makeshift catch up and I used a paper just like you have! I wish I could upload pictures of it here but oh well!Thank you for all the information you've given me. Loved the video! :)

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Sarah Jumping spiders are the only ones I never been truly afraid of myself because of them being such unique spiders! They're super cool imo :) ...now to not be scared of the house and wolf spiders anymore LOL

[@XxLoNgLoStWoLfxX]

Cottonmouthxx I think they're really cool... now lol. I always knew they were super intelligent and would think about their next move(because they always look around!), I just never realised to what extent. I did my research on them and now I love them! I would love to catch and keep one one of these days. Wolf spiders are still scary to me lol, theyre just too fast. If I saw one in my house tho I would definitely catch it and let it go. I just dont think I could hold it yet

[@cottonmouthxx7828]

Sarah yeah they're lightning fast! It really seems with me, the fuzzier they are, the more likely I am to be able to warm up to them, hence why I been on such a T binge the last 2 or 3 months! I absolutely love how inquisitive jumping spider's are, they actually look directly at you and what not! There is a super cool KZbin channel called Phidippus Project I highly recommend, the way the guy handles and interacts with his jumping spideys is super cute! Also... Lucas The Spider, too cute! Ahh!

[@kraziecatclady]

I think it was a little over a year ago. I was cleaning my house and the windows had a lot of cobwebs in them so instead of trying to scrub up the mess, I vacuumed them up. I didn't see any spiders in there when I was cleaning, but I could be wrong. My daughter came in and asked me what I was doing and I told her "Collecting spiders to put in your bed." She didn't think it was as funny as I did. She was kind of afraid of them. Well a few weeks ago she talked me into getting our first T and last weekend we brought home a juvenile A. Seemanni. I'm really enjoying it a lot so far. So relaxed and fun to watch, but it isn't burrowing nearly as much as everyone said this species does. Maybe he/she heard me complaining at the shop worried I wouldn't see it very much or maybe the substrate isn't deep enough, I don't know...

[@philconti1945]

please do more videos like this, i love the general care sheets for species i might want. You are super knowledgeable and inspire a ton of people to get tarantulas. Its nice hearing care tips for specific genesis

[@nflpro96]

Avics and their formers actually do better in larger enclosures as slings, sub looks way too moist in your vials as well. In combination with low vent, this can be fatal for your slings...most experienced keepers recommend keeping the sub dryer. instead, you can occasionally dribble some water on their webbing for drinking opportunities. Larger enclosures, predominantly dry sub and a water dish is the best you can do with these guys. Live plants are a bad idea as well cause of their need for light and constant watering, avics really dont need the ''extra humidity'' as you said...moist sub should generally be avoided, this has killed more avics then anything else. Very nice looking display enclosure though man, cheers!

[@RaeM.C83]

I'd like to see how you keep yours?? You seem pretty knowledgeable, or at least believe to be. I feel that the Dark Den is quite intelligent and keeping many creatures of all kinds. Not once have I felt that any of his animals are in need of anything, but please, show us yours so we can compare??

[@xf8xwolfhound13adventure8]

Thats such a beautiful spider. I love the color and her new home is awesome.

[@sammckee2836]

I’ll have to disagree with you went it come to caring for Avics/ex Avics. They should be kept dry. Having moist enclosures is the reason why the term SADS (Sudden Avic Death Syndrome) became a thing. It was because a lot of hobbyists were keeping their Avicularias in moist, stuffy enclosures while in the wild, Avics/ex Avics live high up in trees where any rain/moisture dries up quickly and the air is constantly being circulated. I know you said keep the enclosure slightly moist, but most beginners looking at this video are probably going to become obsessive when it comes to moisture/humidity numbers, thus leading to their tarantula dying of “SADS.” I do love how that enclosure looks though!

[@liptonthomas6612]

She's stunning ! Versis have always been my favorite species. Congratulations on giving her a home that matches her beauty. Greetings from France !

[@Arthion]

I've gotta say that is a spectacularly beautiful enclosure for a very beautiful spider

[@mws7998]

Out of all the species in the collection, Caribena Versicolor is my favorite! Don’t have a tarantula yet but Versicolor will be my first arboreal for sure!

[@tarantulacollective]

that's a beautiful enclosure...great job!

[@jamesmclaughlin5888]

Great enclosure Petko! I really like the scape you've done for your C. versicolor.

[@dyreascension]

Your enclosure making skills are impeccable. The ventilation holes look like they were made by a machine. Great job, dude.

[@JamesCFan]

So cool!! I have a tiny caribena versicolor sling right now , cant wait till it gets that big!! Have a good day Petko!

[@Tom-tc4ok]

That enclosure is genius... I would buy that any arboreal T I own!

[@saadatfaiz6376]

Dude I love ur channel so much, ur passion for these creatures is contagious af

[@xxliezekexx]

That's a really nice enclosure! Love the attitude of the spider, beautiful

[@beckylipps7286]

She is really beautiful! So fuzzy and cute! I like her!!!

[@coffin4738]

This will be my first T. Been doing a lot of reading and watching videos. I love your demeanor

[@kit1951]

such a cool video. 12 minutes in is the best part. you look so happy with your spiders!

[@Ujuani68]

Aaww, look at that. 🥰 Little baby Avic. I looove Avicularia tarantulas.

[@Nyarlathothep]

She looks so cuddly. :) That's the only reason I don't think I should have tarantulas. I'd get too attached, and you can't really take them to the vet if anything goes wrong.

[@Robin-yk6vf]

I'd pay good moneys for that enclosure ^^ And the rehoused T got quite an attitude :D

[@judygwen3977]

The home you made for her is absolutely beautiful!

[@jasondown3461]

Nice video,you Tom,Dan,Mark and the spider man are killing it as far as tarantula keeping goes. Keep up the good work. Great enclosure as well.

[@randyharhart7155]

Awesome setup an beautiful spider. I'll be getting one of them soon.

[@joshuarosenblatt]

Beautiful enclosure. I just got my first Avicularia this weekend and am in love! Currently in a 32 oz deli cip but will be rehoming her into a bioactive enclosure soon. Thanks for a great video as alwaysn

[@eoghanohgain6979]

What a star she is! I am severely arachnophobic (but enjoy watching spiders from the 'safety' of my computer screen). Could not resist watching that gorgeous spider. Great video. Thank you.

[@lizwescott6739]

Great job petko,that set up is beautiful and simple enough for anyone to do. Keep up the great work.

[@bclark1289]

Just got my first tarantulas and scorpion today. Have been watching your videos. They have taught me alot and helped me to finally make the decision to get some for myself.

[@monanowlin2588]

I am amazed at how much Im learning. Your videos are turning out great.

[@rollastoney]

So amazing. I’ve always found it so cool how they can crawl on surfaces like glass.

[@ismnotwasm1420]

I’m never going to own a tarantula, but I’m certainly glad there are people who do. Fascinating hobby.

[@tonicoffin7706]

Terrific video! I'm sure she likes her new home, but is playing with you a little!

[@SnakeladyGreta]

I love my caribena versicolor! I named her “Fluffy.” The name seems to help people freak out a little less when I talk about her. I was arachnophobic for 40+ years. Decided to work on my fears and eventually kept several phidippus regius, then 2 years ago, I took the plunge and bought Fluffy. I do handle her quite often. (She tolerates me quite well). She definitely does projectile-poop a lot, and she does jump if she wants to. I guess I’m effectively over my arachnophobia! I changed my fear to fascination. Your channel has been quite helpful! Thank you for making such awesome videos! ❤️🕷😊

[@brickblackbull]

Man I'm loving this!!! I can't believe I'm just finding out about this hobby and community!!! Ever since I was a kid I've had a beautiful appreciation, admiration and genuine love for spiders!!! Especially T's!!! Thank you so much!!! CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED!!!😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ Oh yeah keep the videos coming! There DOPE!

[@crazyjoep2344]

Thats the cutest thing ive seen in a long time :) Love it. Good vids, keep em coming

[@michaelmartinson2781]

Mine poop on me every time I have to handle them. Your versicolor is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing her in such a detailed video.

[@ktykat79]

Michael Martinson well, I guess if you’re going to be pooped on by a spooder it might as well be a pretty floofy one.

[@aracknoinfiniteeseekertrip9689]

Michael Martinson I actually have seen it documented that the Avucularia's use that as a defensive mechanism, & can launch excriment 2-3 feet!

[@michaelmartinson2781]

Oh, I am well aware, it hits my chest every time. :D

[@aracknoinfiniteeseekertrip9689]

Michael Martinson lol good aim then is also true! Mine haven't gotten me, but once 1 snuck up on the other & grazed it's back leg, then it bolted & it looked like a jet boost with splatter on the corner of the enclosure as prion it wasn't a trick of the light!

[@nicoleo9050]

The setup is incredible She is beautiful. She's going for a run

[@Martinstanktalk]

Hi Petko. Beautiful specimen. The enclosure looks great. Great video. I need to get one for my collection.

[@TheMstaquiroz]

Honestly I believe this is one of the better videos, very entertaining.

[@FishObama]

F yeah a new video i dont have anything to do lately :D. By the way, thanks to you i overcome my fear of spiders since last year and now have 4 tarantulas myself! A Grammostola Porteri sling, Grammostola Pulchripes sling, Brachypelma Hamorii juvenile and Brachypelma Albopilosum adult! Love u Petko.

I love this videos, she will enjoy her new building for sure :D really like the new place for the Caribena versicolor
