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!

Dark Den Season 17: Introducing a jaguar to my junglearium

[@petsforlife8651]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@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.

[@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 ;)

[@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:))

[@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!

[@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!

[@melissah4084]

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

[@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 ❤

[@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

[@cassiopeia1931]

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

[@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)

[@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!

[@melissah4084]

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

[@jacobgillispie1175]

I have mourning geckos babys that small might have hard time finding food/water in such a large set up. I'd recommend keeping them in a smaller terrarium for 6 to 12 months before putting them in the jungle vivarium

[@youtubeplayer8173]

Yes! This exactly!

[@youtubeplayer8173]

Also concerned about dart frogs for same reason...it delicate balance this hivc

[@Frogger]

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

[@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.

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

Yay! Ducky babies... 🦆🐣 😆

[@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.

[@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! 🙂✌🏼

[@darrellh.9680]

You could always do a wire mesh panel with moss on it then add plants to it..

[@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 😍😍🐸

[@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.

[@zebedeemadness2672]

A group of Congo dwarf clawed frog (Hymenochirus boettgeri), would be neat for the pool. Of course not African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) to big and predatory. Maybe at some point a Junglearium live cam.

[@TheShawndaLee]

Happy New Year Petko!! So excited to see so much life inside!!

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

[@ACE.SpiderMan]

happy new year!

[@nicolasmonguin6820]

perfect enclosure !! i love it !! a big GG to u !!

[@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

[@dianeleach9097]

Really entertaining...thank you.

[@candyscott489]

CONGRATULATIONS !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Look At All That Life

[@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.
