Kinda Failed BALFOURI COMMUNAL update

[@danishaga4972]

I think that female is mad because you called her fat.

[@WolleWollekowski]

"Oh, it is making a weird sound, did you hear it?" *zirp ... zirp ... zirp* "Let me show you (increases volume)" *ZIRP...ZIRP...ZIRP* :D

[@heysaucemikehere1804]

Wolle0rism I never even got to hear the tarantula:(

[@surfcity8313]

5:40 Petko got a haircut in a snap of his fingers, wow

[@aussieantkeeping2825]

And changed his shirt

[@Nikolaos_MCMLXXXI]

With the blessings of OBT sling speed

[@1ksubswithnovideos402]

BestOfBethesda what do you expect Petko is magic

[@Jesse__H]

His name is Petko? lol I guess that's kind of appropriate 😊

[@jaykjarcia2408]

Wow magic :D

[@invertevision4757]

It's fun watching a communal grow and amazing at how much faster they grow when kept in a communal vs alone. I have a communal of 8 and received them at 3rd instar. Amazing

[@MustraOrdo]

7:20 - 8:08 she sounds like a typewriter

[@katiesykes5234]

Quickest 16 mins ever lol had to double check that is watched it all haha I get so wrapped up in your videos

[@bugcatcher8989]

Just wanted to say thanks for this channel. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me get over my fear of insects, in particular spiders. I’ve learned so much from you that I enjoy looking at spiders in the wild! I think the Dark Den is awesome!

[@DesignatedDrinker12]

Will miss the Weds videos. But I totally understand! Have a good weekend! ❤️

[@schmiddii11Playz]

The Nymphs need about a year to become adult after "hatching" and the males have a lifespan from half- to a 3/4 year while the females have about 1 year after they become adult. Some may live longer but many dont even reach that span. My very first died after the 3rd molt without reason. It's just nature, things happen. I'm glad you got some good "eggs" right there and that they are hatching :)

[@ethakis]

“I learned English by playing world of Warcraft” you sir are my hero 😂

[@zee9375]

just wanted to say your a great sport for giving your place up and letting Inans tarantulas go through in the fatal fangs tournament x

[@thekatt...]

Sretan Bozic Petko !!! from your Canadian friends !!! thanx for curing me of arachnophobia . today my microscopic house spider ate/bundled up 3 springtails !!! he's so tiny I have to use a magnifying glass to see him. Cured. thank you.

[@jimblack7601]

Thank you for making such informative, and well put together videos.The fact that you actually show what your fans do for you speaks volumes on you as a person as well.Beautiful animal room setup!!!

[@theechoexotic]

I love your videos, you are my favorite youtuber! You should make a NEW FULL COLLECTION TOUR in the NEW DARK DEN! :)

[@ph143aaf]

Another awesome video! Just so you know, your videos made me start my collection! I never knew how much fun the hobby could be! Thanks buddy!

[@christophersingletary9393]

I love the Balfouri communal. You've been a huge help in getting over my fear of Tarantulas and have inspired me to get one of my own.

[@jakemarman301]

I have a big fear of spiders and have inspired me to face my fear thank you

[@angelfire007]

Hilarious how you were attacked. She really didn’t want to hang out on your shoulder. 🦗😂

[@Boxsoup]

Hey Dark Den, haven't watched you in awhile. Glad you got a big following and a new space :) Been watching off and on since 20k

[@brucetronsgard1714]

Great vid petko...i have been waiting all morning for it and was not disappointed...thank you

[@nikolainikolaichev]

oooh yes, I'm so exited when I open youtube and see a new upload from you!

[@SmokeyD.45]

You and exotics lair are the reason i am no longer afraid of spiders and have a rose hair myself

[@groudonmario]

I love the videos! Finally getting into the hobby after over a year of watching, planning on starting with a Grammostola pulchra

[@creepygallery3303]

Love the attitude on that Jungle nymph.

[@realtree1829]

Love your vids! Learned alot watching them. Thanks for the entertainment and knowledge.

[@thatdumbguy84esquire29]

I can't even imagine the trials of communal tarantulas. Pleasant video as always! :)

[@MrTomkat030]

Very cool, I was wondering when an update was coming, so awesome watching them together... Gesundheit bro 😂

[@matthewtowell6793]

Changed from a tarantula hater to a tarantula admirer. Thank you🔥

[@CharlesA24]

those are my favorite animals in the dark den!! Thank you I asked a few times fore this update. Great video!! From Canada

[@Running-with-skizers]

I'm a snake collector but your videos give me a new respect for spiders. I had a pink toed tarantula I " inherited" from a late friend and she was a nice pet and got to have less fear of spiders but idk about owning another one I almost had a heart attack when she bit me. Until I found out it was really nothing of a bite

[@Trustedimp]

The dark den is finally open! Yay! :) Must be so exciting for you Petko! :)

[@MrSatan-xy9es]

You and your balfouris basically convinced my buddy caleb and I to get a communal enclosure with 5 balfouris. Thanks dude 👍. Also your jungle nymphs are awesome, keep the vids coming man!

[@pauladebra1]

i'm new to your channel about 2 months and love your videos.

[@EckaTheOne]

wow petko, now they got realy stuning colours 🥺😲 last time u did insta pic couldnt see blue coloration, but in HD vid looks so nice 🥺

[@kusisin]

5:40 - actually, cut with a new haircut, awesome ! :D

[@markrandolf2897]

Man the "hobby form" is actually from Honduras and the fluffy one is from Nicaragua. They are from different localities and pairing them would contaminate their genome. Best to get an Albopilosum Honduras male and a Nicaragua female.

[@czuramedablah8832]

That cricket in the background is giving me PTSD

[@Buffy_kitten_offical]

As someone who is a native English speaker your English is just fine

[@jamiefeeney562]

I do not keep any spiders or ts but found ur channel 6 months or so ago ever since I been hooked and watch every upload lol u seem such a nice genuine guy and ur vids are very interesting it’s nice to see so many subscribing one piece of advice ignore the idiots with negative comments etc no one is perfect and I can see u do ur best and care for all ur pets keep it up buddy

[@jamiefeeney562]

And most negative people don’t know there arse from there elbow and just jealous of ur success I have some questions to ask u il pm u on Facebook if I can hopefully u reply thanks bud

[@ForexAngel079]

I have two balfouri's but they are slings. Almost juvi's. According to their legspan differences, i hope its male and female. But now i will be able to tell by their colors easily soon. Always learning something new from you. Thanks!

[@brymeller1005]

Watching you dealing with the jungle nymph’s attitude reminds me so much of when I handle my Macleay’s Spectre girls, absolute drama queens! 😅

[@soasertsus]

Awwww the baby jungle nymph is sooo cute!

[@periplanetamissionary]

When the time comes, do get some unrelated pairs to keep your bloodline strong, Im so glad you got some babies. ^^ Makes it worth it.

[@sicksarachnids6207]

I Love balfouris...

[@jill956]

Your my favorite and that's coming from Glasgow in UK x

[@ethanfaulkner3856]

I'm ashamed at how long it took me to realise the cricket sounds were coming from the video.

[@aris3278]

Great ...I want ideas for an esay for school on why we should learn english😂😂😂

[@PranksterGL25]

Love Balfouri updates, I was nervous though that their lid was open and the nymphs might jump to their death, oh no! hahahaha Thanks for content Petko!

[@BREAKERisDEAD]

Swiggity swooty, jungle nymph gonna get your booty Petko! Also a giant corner tank filled with 50 balfouris needs to happen!

[@Garlic_Beard]

A perfect video to brighten up my day 😍

[@Snows_collection]

Good shit man, happy early birthday 🎂🎉🍻, I can't wait until tomorrow I have 3 tarantulas coming into my reptile rescue. Gotta go pick them up from a town about 2 hours away. Getting one A metallica pink toe and Arizona blond and a sling Honduran curlly hair I've been supposed to have gotten them a few weeks ago but things happen but I still can't wait 🤪 🌋🙌

[@Wildknives69]

The bug attacking you made me die laughing!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rain040103]

For the Horde! Always enjoy your videos, beautiful creatures & big World of Warcraft gamer myself. Keep up the amazing work & Thank you for all your info & vids.

[@annivan8102]

JA VOLIME TE!!! you are awesome. Keep doin what yer doin.

[@6861609]

Don't worry about your English, it is just fine. There is nothing I do not understand while your talking. I'm French from Quebec and has been living in Nova-Scotia for fourth years and still make mistakes. Your doing just fine. Cheers

[@MrKillerbeast18]

Dark den needs a room specifically for fan mail

[@lelandpovey2180]

I can see both sides of the breeding 'problem'. B albops HF are Honduras but have been hybridised in the hobby for years as locality was not always recorded on batches coming into the UK etc, so in that respect pairing with the B albop NF is just continuing the Hobby Form line. HOWEVER, this sets back the future efforts of trying to create (re-create) two seperate lines of Honduras & Nicaragua types. Actively trying to identify each one the best we can and breed each line seperate seems the best option for future lines. Cross breeding seems a step backwards but the resulting offspring are a hybrid that already exists in the Hobby!!? Tough One!

[@helpimdiabetes3602]

Nice work And trust im british and your english is better than mine your english is good

[@beautybytara805]

That’s so sad that he died 💔but so great that you have his offspring now so cute to see the full circle of life with the species💗 also too funny to see him playing dead 🤣

[@johnnycats5157]

Have you ever seen a Peruphasma schultei? I think those things are amazing. I'm a snake guy, I dont have any arthropods, but I've considered getting some of those.

[@clamskaboo5120]

Man the balfouri are stunning

[@wasweissichbla]

this is so cool :) someday i also want to keep balfouris :D

[@jaywilliams7029]

Happy early birthday my friend 🎂🎂🎂🍾🥂🍻🕷🕸🦂👍👍

[@fraxinus_ash]

I can't be the only one who enjoyed the way you say "spooky chupa chups"

[@SuperLoops]

about the different types of Brachypelma albopilosum Ive read that people think the hobby form is actually a hybrid of albopilosum and vagans

[@TheDarkDen]

No one can know for sure, but whey probably hybridized at some point. Anny could be also WC, I don't really know how old is she and what is her origin.

[@SuperLoops]

more and more spiders are having their genes sequenced to find out their actual evolutionary relationships and I think someone is doing Brachypelmas right now, they already found out that there are two separate groups that arent closely related at all. theres albopilosum and vagans and kahlenbergi in one group and all the ones w/ orange legs like boehmi and smithi and hamorii in the other group and Brachypelma should really be two genera. maybe they will look at hobby form albos and say what they really are. they could just be from a different region to the Nicaragua ones, like all the different kinds of orange biter come from different places. i love Brachypelmas Ive got 5 of them 😍

[@TheDarkDen]

@@SuperLoops Yeah, our knowledge on many animals is still not 100% correct and is constantly changing :D

[@daveanthonysinubangan2776]

Wow the dark den is now like a attraction spot :):)

[@c.laurafrost5172]

The balfouri boys are stunning

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Ooo M. Balfouri, I love it😍 it's so beautiful, someday I want to buy one, but not now because I'm a very beginner and I haven't bought my first tarantula yet.

[@kaikad9770]

Hahah, I do have Chameleons at home and when I started watching this video I start looking around my flat as I thought I had some crickets escapees🤣🤣🤣than realised it from your video...

[@joshuakostie3159]

Lmfao, I just realized that you have an Instagram xD hahahahah! I Loooooooove you’re videos, They helped me turn my mother into a spider fanatic which is a Biiiiig deal. As a child we would go camping n’ if we ever ran into a spider at the cabin. I would have to take it outside or she would freak rite out & get my brother to “take care of it” lol. But thank you for the awesome videos! Keep it coming man!

[@shyogaming2378]

I think your English is very good, tho you may say the wrong words we can understand what your saying. I also find it funny you learned English from playing WoW my husband (Norwegian) also learned English from playing WoW.

[@michaellohn549]

Love your videos . You are just like me, 15 years ago .

[@adiksamic7234]

can't wait for my communal to grow

[@judygwen3977]

I really appreciate all of your efforts to give us English we can understand. I didn't know you put so much effort behind it because you speak it very well. I understand you better than I understand Tarantula Dan. I quit watching him because I can't understand anything he says, and I believe he is English! Right? Ironic, eh?

[@jnew42]

Awesome video, love the Balfouri, that is probably the top one for me righ th now. Which is all your fault, as you have dragged me back into arachnids. Currently we have an A. Seemani and an H. Gigas with reptiles and other critters.

[@shannonlee3671]

"Get out of my house!"🕷🕸 But that noise your making is so cute...poke, poke. 😈

[@snoodygoose]

petcos famous time jump haircut combo

[@jonsey3645]

Dude, I love the crickets!

[@maxclips3152]

Hey english is tough so hats off to you, just keep rolling with it, my dad learned english when he came to the U.S. and taught himself but he only got really good at it after having children (me and my sister) I guess children are good to learn from haha

[@riddermichi]

there shouldn't be an issiue breeding them. However you wont be able to sell the slings as nicarague anymore, and the slings will be Hobby form also. The fluffyness of the slings will decrease from beign bred with a hobby form and therefor will make em hobby forms too and not nicaragua.

[@TheDarkDen]

Yeah of course, I'm aware of that :)

[@kaiw.7565]

But B. albopilosum builds huge eggsacks with 500-800 eggs in it, even if you give away only the half of them they will be spread in the hobby. Even if ypu dont sell/give them away as pure ones, but as hybrids (which they are), im sure some of them will get into the hands of less expirienced keepers who might assume they are in fact nicaraguan. Thats (together with people who intentionaly did so) one of the reasons why the B. species had such a big issue with hybridisation. Im sure you will find a female B. albopilosum nicaragua, and i would not recomend breeding those two as well, simce crossbreeding is over all a real problem in the hobby - even if the slings get sold labeled correctly. But in the end: your spiders, your choice. But pls rethink

[@Lisssssard]

Disagree. It will become a hybrid of hobby form and Nicaragua. So wrong. Not wonder I avoid other hobbyists. Y'all remind me of climate change deniers and anti vaxxers.

[@kaiw.7565]

Lisssssard Jep, but Petko answered the AB thread about what hes planing to do. Thats a good thing.

[@Lisssssard]

Kai Werner how is it good? His plan is totally frowned upon and wrong. At this point it's obvious that he's just being stubborn and unwilling to admit that he failed to do basic research.

[@summer4285]

Love seeing all the comments of people throwing fits like "DoNt BrEeD tHeM!!" And "HoW dArE yOu UsE TwEeZeRs!!" After they tried to do a quick google search and think they're now spider masters. Its even better seeing them be like "Im no longer watching! No longer a fan!" Like haha good. Bye bye kiddos. 🤭🖐️

[@okamiro3059]

Anyone else think the balfouri enclosure looks like the shire from the hobbit with all the little holes and tarantulas looking out like little hobbit in their holes

[@SuperBamamama]

You remind me of the actor Olivier Martinez. Really enjoy your videos even though I would never get that close to any spider.

[@vojtajezl6383]

I'm still waiting for my jungle nymph adult molt :) anyways the male died about three months after adult, but he was weak...looking forward to next awesome videos! Greetings from Czech Republic

[@lmx1453]

Jeeez.... these balfouris lookin damn gorgeous tho

[@CittizinKane]

Your English is very good and I would say that the level that is taught to L2 (English as a second language) or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is attempting to copy native speaker levels are quite difficult due to the linguistic development of English resulting in very specific grammar and syntax (word order and rules) that is difficult to master Love the videos 😁👍

[@W.A.T.P...55]

Hi petko your English is great and we can understand you no problem so keep up the good work my European brother 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@keliahx445]

The sling is so tiny and cute

[@ryanadc7424]

I haven't kept jungle nymphs but from my experience with similar species of stick insects and lead insects the larger species have females that live for around 18 to 24 months I'm not sure for jungle nymphs but I would assume a similar life span for them

[@thetarantulatrap435]
