OMG! Junglearium is BUZZING WITH LIFE!

[@TheDarkDen]

Here's a Junglearium playlist containing every Junglearium video, from start to finish! kzbin.info/aero/PL-n-MpsP9M1Lwp_3vGER_NdvXKjHnzpe6&si=7iLk8witex1owjMv

[@macansan7046]

What a cool video man so many things happening in this awesome build! Looks very nice!

[@lionman1573]

It is not too late to add plants to the side walls. a Few screws and hooks fixed to the walls and ceiling and then utilize creeping plants like vines, for example. It will look weird at the beginning, but will grow in and look amazing eventually.

[@REPT0]

You should have a 24/7 livestream from inside the enclosure so we can watch the animal activity whenever we feel like it

[@cassiopeia1931]

Agree so much with this. I'd LOVE to be able to watch the junglearium any time.

[@thefightingplumber]

That would be amazing!!

[@maianhtai1288]

100% agree

[@ReptiChat]

Great idea! I would definitely watch this!

[@MisterFishieandBubbles]

❤

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

You might need to add a piece of fruit from time to time to attract the fruit flies for the frogs, since the enclosure is so large it gives the flies room to escape the frogs.

[@pjorkan]

A banana peel!

[@spyro257]

WoW! within 48h of each other, both our main guy here, Petko u the guy, and Ants Canada, had their project finished, AND full of life... can it get much better now?

[@viperluciano6328]

100%

[@kaidenworrell7828]

Nordic ants the first guy to do it

[@brokenspade3212]

Right, super dope

[@spyro257]

@@kaidenworrell7828 Nordic ants did what first? have different "pets" in 1 enclosure? i dont think so... did he finish his project, and have it full of life, within the last 48h? no he didnt... go simp somewhere else...

[@aieonnam]

Because of Dr. Plants

[@Reptiliatus]

Happy New Year my friend! It's grown in so well! I really enjoyed the time-lapse and watching them all hop around.

Dark Den Season 17: Introducing a jaguar to my junglearium

[@petsforlife8651]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ThatBeardedBugGuy]

Hey Petko! I have a 200+ colony of mourning geckos and they escape constantly. They pretty much live feral in my house at this point. They've gotten into every enclosure, feeder bins, everywhere. I've found them in the oven, in towels getting out of the shower, I've even found them near frozen outside before. I've never found a dead one though, inside or outside their enclosure. These geckos are INSANELY hardy. I wouldn't worry one bit about something being wrong in the junglearium. Good luck!

[@anzepancur5178]

For the sides, you can buy some type of mesh that troy goldberg uses and the plants will grow on it and make your side walls green without taking much space:))

[@Dogtroll]

Actually, it just occurred to me that putting poisonous dart frogs in the junglearium might be a mistake because you really need to be careful with what kind of food they have access to in order to prevent them from becoming poisonous.

[@jamestully156]

No not really, nobodies ever been able to recreate dart frog toxicity in captivity.

[@sarahcarry4037]

Id recommend setting up feeding stations for tue frogs and geckos; place some over ripe fruit around the enclosure. Any flies left inside with be drawn to the fruit, the smaller/shyer frogs and geckos can then easily eat the flies. The fruit will eventually decompose and feed your clean up crew and plants.

[@ebkenny6559]

You and AntsCanada are carrying these giant vivarium's! Keep up the good work!

[@nikoerni7964]

Junglearium is biggest diy vivarium enclosure. As far as i know. But antscanada vivarium is so so amazing. Gigantic in house vivarium enclosure ❤

[@DarioMenna]

Dear Petko, first of all congrats for this first big step to bring the Junglearium to full life! It is truly beautiful and amazing :))) Then, I'd like to point your attention to one little thing that concerns me a bit about it's population: I notice that "the handle" you use to open the Janglearium is basically...a HOLE! I don't have a clue if the gekos or the frogs are able to climb those panels, but since you blocked even the vents up there with finer mesh, I thought this could be a potential point of escape...so I decided to bring it to your attention, I hope this might be of any help, if needed :) That said, thanks a lot for your channel and your videos. Wish you all great 2024 and...cheers from Italy!

[@Mellie_H]

Thank you for pointing out the handle hole! I wondered about that also. Hopefully Petko will see your comment. Happy New Year from Michigan!

[@sdqsdq6274]

haha , sharp eye , didnt notice that , if there snakes , it will be gone in 60 sec , yea gecko will go thru that , animals can sense the holes , i presume it to be a air draft

[@cassiopeia1931]

Petko's joy over releasing the animals into the Junglearium is contagious and this is great.

[@Lessthankira]

Hi . You can still maximize side wall. You might want to put dried moss wall or foam with pot so there will be more plants 😊 What a nice junglearium you got there

[@juliealexander7948]

Happy New Year! My Mourning geckos seem to prefer Pangea food for some reason, they do also predate on the rolly pollies but not as much as they go for the gecko food. I tried several other brands, but so far, Pangea watermelon and breeding seem to be their favourites. I love how personable and interactive they are. The small gecko that passed looks a bit squished, so it's possible one of the larger ones tried to eat it (I dont see this behaviour often, but I feed them Pangea every other day)

[@faunasanctum]

once the mourning gecko's settle in they will become really quite vocal, and they have the sweetest little barks and chirps 😊 feed them up on powdered gecko diet ;)

[@Frogger]

As a fellow amphibian I congratulate those little froggies to their new home. May you thrive and multiply for many years to come!

[@Jayne1971]

Only tne first day of the year and you've knocked it out of the park already Petko! I couldn't be more excited for you, honestly sat watching this with the biggest grin on my face. And the clip you caught of the frog calling, wow! To you, your wife, your daughter and all the creatures at the Dark Den, Happy New Year! 😁🎉

[@TheBlubunni]

Your junglearium looks awesome Petko! Listening and watching you add your first frogs and geckos so excitedly, made me happy for you. I hope the animals and plants continue to grow and thrive! 🙂✌🏼

[@Gusbusbus]

This was such an exciting video! I look forward to more updates and seeing the geckos grow.

[@Mellie_H]

Happy New Year, Petko! What a great way to start the year! I was really surprised how much everyone explored during the time lapse! I'm sorry that you lost one of the geckos, but, these things happen. Thanks for sharing the big animal move!

[@utesommer8214]

What a start of a new year, Petko ! All the best to you and your little family. Your little girl will have to watch a lot in your marvellous junglearium.

[@shaunm3206]

What a great start to the year

[@alaeeddinekhyar8070]

happy new year petkooo🎉🎉 , great fisrt video , been waoting for tjis for so long !!!

[@harlowbeal]

So awesome, I’m loving each update it just gets better and better! Happy new year, Petko!

[@poochiew.9302]

It is amazing to see how far you have come over the past several years! The junglearium is quite beautiful and I love the new inhabitants! The frogs always were my favorites 😍😍🐸

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

I hope this New Year is better for you, and me. Good luck on this project.

[@shannonposedenti8279]

Way to go and happy new year Petko!!! I’ve been watching for so many years and I’m so happy for you and the new junglearium! It’s so exciting to see this finally!

[@PatrickReichelReptileCynrik]

Happy new year, Petko! :-) Also, congratulations on adding more animals to the junglearium. It's such a huge, amazing installation that can keep your eyes busy for a long time. When you're bored, you just have to sit in front of it and enjoy all the different plants, animals, sections and colours. There's not a single spot that looks identical to another spot... just like nature. It really is a very natural, realistic habitat. Wonderful work!!! I wish you lots of fun with it.

[@bikezone8099]

Happy new year Petko! Can't wait for another year of Dark Den awesomeness.

[@chiyo9014]

Have you considered gorilla gluing coco coir panels to all your open walls. It would be sturdy and allow for plants to grow on it while still looking good when its bare. Also cheap. Your progress is amazing!

[@Mellie_H]

Great idea!! It would look great with those, because the side wall on the left looks a bit like birds used it as their bathroom. LOL! Sorry Petko!

[@izzydoesit8152]

up to this petko

[@BlackZtar1]

This was really fun to see! When you took out that massive plant, you could really get a perspective on how big the junglearium is! 🤩

[@andrewrichards9513]

3rd year of watching petko and I can honestly say every year get better, can't wait for 2024 !!! Happy new year dark den peeps 👍

[@Mellie_H]

Happy new year to you too!

❤happy New year, petko. I love your junglarium. It's amazing. All of your hard work and patience has paid off!

[@nway1000]

I’m so glad I found this channel a couple of years ago and even more happy to have been following the progress of the junglearium…I love watching the “jungle” floor brimming with life. Well done, Petko!

[@mstalcup]

This makes me really happy to see your excitement. Congratulations!

[@vwvw4]

Congratulations on the addition of animals to your junglearium. Would you consider adding a slug? Happy New Year, wishing you health and happiness in 2024!

[@yumeart9322]

I love how much space you provide! It looks like a cool place to live in :D

[@SpoonDum]

So proud :)

[@JELLYSKA]

I'm so happy to see the animals thrive in there, but it warms my little heart so much to see how well the plants are doing! Even the velvet anthurium that was struggling a bit at the beginning. Have a great new year and looking forward to season 5

[@littlenikki9539]

Happy New Year friend! Congratulations Petko! It is great to see your 2+ year project come to fruition! Great video 💚💚💚

[@bridgethoskins9809]

I have very much enjoyed watching you bring the junglearium to life. It's been fascinating watching all that went into the construction and now to see the animals being added. You did a fantastic job on this. It's absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see everyone get comfortable and start bringing in new life. Thank you for being us along for this journey, it's been fun.

[@DiamondKat]

Amazing! What a great job , it finally came together and it looks so great , thank you for sharing this with us , I learn so much from this channel and I always look forward to your content . I wish you much success in 2024 😊 loved the frogs calling out to each other .

[@rozzer78]

looks awsome well done with all the hardwork its finally paid off

[@aurora_dawn123]

[@antoniaechefu7662]

This was sooo COOL!! I've always loved these tiny frogs and I'm looking forward to updates from the Junglearium and will keep my fingers crossed for the wee geckos to thrive. x

[@serenagaytan1040]

Looks amazing! Been watching for over 2 years now and have been super excited about this build. That time lapse was awesome!

[@Wtfzipcode]

been following since you installed the blocks for the height, glad to see it growing. did you happen to see that antscanada has made a 1000G paludarium? you're not the largest on youtube anymore; gonna have to build a bigger one!

[@BellaIsa8603]

My friend….you would want some tall plants to make it a true Junglearium. It would provide both shade and protection for the animals; just like in the wild. As for the sides walls, you can add a mud mixture and nothing but moss. It would be great for the animals too. I hope this gives you some ideas

[@MerynMTG]

That's such a beautiful enclosure. Happy New Year Petko!

[@daniellerichardson6617]

This is incredible to watch! You did it! It’s beautiful, and I love seeing it teeming with life!

[@genesisgreen3458]

it looks amazing!!! congratulations

[@idarahmqvist1373]

Maybe you can have a fine netting suspended above the water surface? That’s what they have done over many of the pools in the jungle area of the terrariums in Gothenburg city.

[@2dumd2live]

So amazing to finally see all the animals being added! Really hope they will all do well and enjoy their time in there

[@AV_402]

[@nberry02]

Truly felt happiness along with you as I’ve been watching you put this together. Happy New Year brother!

[@thebaconbrotato]

Happy New Year Petko.

[@yghostest]

happy new year Petko! Maybe you could add a couple naturalistic "dishes" to every now and then feed them flies and other bugs. I was also looking at all the holes and crevices in the rocks and thinking it would be nice to also fill them with water, i'm sure the amphibians would appreciate

[@ks_reptiles3347]

Hello Petko, At fist, happy and healthy New year to you and all of your beloved once❤ The "wall problem" could be fixed with Cocosfiber mats or with this kind of black, white or gray fabric with capilarry effect that absorbs water. So plants could klimb on it. And I think you could add both of it right now. Another option could be to scape the Walls with Sprayfoam like you did it in other enclosures. Sorry for my bad english, I am trying my best😅 Best wishes and all the best for the New year❤

[@ryderhuggins508]

Awesome thanks Petko😊

[@CameronMcCracken_Art]

Happy New Year Petko! So happy for you that the Junglearium is getting more and more full of life! It’s so cool to see this, especially because for me at least I love these kind of frogs ever since I was a kid. Actually this video has also inspired me to consider maybe getting some frogs like these to look after in the future! Who knows?

[@PvtColtyWolty]

Jungle looks amazing! Blew my expectations

[@binkyboo4793]

They're SO cute! I'd be having a hard time pulling myself away from them all. You could definitely get lost just sitting and watching them. I can't wait til they grow up a bit.

[@mart9214]

The mg's (mourning geckos) will probably not reproduce this way. They are parthenogenesis but they often need other mg's close to them to get the impulse to start laying eggs. In the junglearium they probably wont get close enough to eachother to start laying eggs.

[@051adam]

I wish you, your family and friends a happy new year sir! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making the Dark Den great!
