I had a ROUGH DAY handling these TARANTULAS...

[@niklasrappl1752]

it was so funny when you threw everything away at the end

[@pascalspellerberg]

Stressfull video. Some youtubee would say: Calm Down!

[@sandramorrison99]

It's MY favorite PART EVERYTIME!!!

[@tarantulamum4322]

I was in stitches the first time I watched this a year ago, and a year on it still makes me laugh 😂. sorry petko🩵🇬🇧

[@WolfGoddess77]

No one: Absolutely no one: Petko's entire tarantula collection: "Let's all go for a run today!"

[@lyricaholland6319]

Omg I couldn’t stop laughing. I feel kinda bad cause you’re not having a great time here but I love that you always had a solution

[@tarantulamum4322]

nor could I lyrica

Alternative video title “tarantulas attempt to drive man insane”

[@deakel18]

Ur really doing a great job I still can’t believe how much I look forward to Monday’s n Friday’s to see ur videos when I’ve never been a tarantula person but now I find myself watching videos about spiders n bugs n snakes ur really teaching ppl not to be afraid

[@susanmartin3762]

There are so many people out there like me. I've never like spiders and I am fascinated by these tarantula feeding videos and all the funny crazy stuff that goes on in the dark Den. Exotic Lair cracks me up. Tarantula cat is adorable. All of this stuff is just so amazing to me. Am I still afraid of spiders hell fucking yes but I'm learning to understand them more and I even want to get a jumping spider because those are adorable.

[@captainkeller2792]

People are just scared of things they dont know and the only thing most people know about spiders is that they are afraid of them. Its cool to see that people show interest in these little creatures and also learn something about them. Its a good thing for spiders in general and also prevents people of getting a heart attack when they see a spider. Learn more about them and them get one, they are fun to observe even tho they dont do much.

[@smkrieger5219]

deakel18 same here, I have never owned a tarantula or nothing that sported more than 4 legs, but I always look forward to his videos, they are always very interesting.

[@chloewright1]

@@susanmartin3762 I am exactly the same! I've always been terrified of spiders, all insects actually. But about 2 weeks ago I watched a tarantula video on KZbin (don't know how that happened lol) and since then I've been binge watching exotics lair, tarantula kat & dark den. I've now found myself completely fascinated with t's, to the point where I'm now obsessing over wanting to get one as a pet and longing to hold one! It's crazy how our perceptions of things can change so quickly and dramatically.

[@susanmartin3762]

Have any of you ever seen the video of the man who is taking fur balls off of the feet of a wolf spider? That little eight legged dude stood there while this man used a scalpel and a metal ruler to cut the fur balls off of his little feet. He used the ruler to rest under the spiders...foot? (I don't know if spiders have feet ) but anyways. The spider didn't run and it didn't attack him ...it just quietly stood there and even lifted up his legs with the Hairball on it to make it easier for the man to cut it off. It was one of the most zen-like things I've ever seen where a man was helping a spider and the spider knew it and let him do it

[@mbdieter7308]

The old camera reminded me of when you filmed in your apartment.

[@upirvok]

LOOL Petko: lets check if she bite. yes she bite. then Petko dont care and uses his hands :O

[@TheDarkDen]

It was a feeding response at first :P

[@upirvok]

@@TheDarkDen yes i know they like to pose before they attack as defence:P still it looket scary to use your hand right after:)

[@anthonymunguia1040]

At the end he felt so happy it was over he threw everything like idc anymore it's done n dusted 😂😂 love it

[@katelijnhovestad8382]

[@lindaanders2128]

Petko: this is not good video. Me: Best Video ever!!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard, thanks for this awesome bolty time!!!!!!

[@TheDarkDen]

Let me rephrase, not a good video for me to record, but enjoyable for the rest of you to watch :P

[@boynamedlen]

Definitely enjoyable to watch! God, I've had a good laugh with other Dark Den videos, but never like this x'D

[@turtlejeepjen314]

The Dark Den I think it’s a GREAT video to record, because it shows what responsible ownership is REALLY like, and how some times issues DO pop up unexpectedly! (It gives people a ‘head’s up’ so they can have a backup plan in the back of their minds!!!!)

[@iparkedmycar]

I was more afraid when the camera dropped than any other time xD

[@austinpoudrette1574]

The shots with the old camera brought me back to your old videos on your couch. Maybe you should do a throw back video where you take some tarantulas back home and do a old style feeding vid. Regardless loved the video. Chaos can make for some good content!

[@1979loopylass]

I think we have just witnessed Tarantula teleportation 😂😂

[@annk1169]

😂😂😂😂😂feel bad for you Petko but this was so entertaining for us!

[@The-Spider-King]

Great video! Sorry it didn’t go to easy but, it gave me something to laugh about 😬😂

[@suzannedavies4436]

This fella cheers me up with his amazing personality!! So happy and funny too! Very nice to have a channel with this kind of content that’s more lighthearted and entertaining rather than just a man talking with no expression or fun. This guy( sorry I don’t know your name) is awesome and you can see how he genuinely cares for the animals by the way he talks to them like I do to my dog! 😎😎😎🤣🤣🤩👏👏👏👍

[@jakovsabic2837]

13:17 Petko just decided that he had enough and jumped through time to clean up his mess

[@sandramorrison99]

I seriously love it when you start chucking shit at the end of the vid! Makes my heart all warm and cozy!!

[@tarantulamum4322]

this has got to be one of the funniest videos I've seen you do petko, wasn't you're day was it lol x

[@lastthroneminiatures8403]

This was an emotional rollercoaster.

[@sharonpiecharka1339]

One of ur best rehousing, bolting, escaping t's , hubba, hubba time, camera falling, and throwing objects videos yet. lol Loved it.

[@thekatt...]

Petko...I've been watching since the early days. It has been a joy watching your channel grow. You have remained a humble, kind and very funny, genuine guy. Thank you for all the work you put into capturing your amazing life for us. Thank you for absolutely curing my arachnophobia. Thank you for ending the generations of arachnophobia in my family. You can bet that my grandkids are not phobic. I wish you all the best in the new year , and I can't wait to see how far you'll get this year. So much love ❤️❤️❤️ Your Canadian friend, Katt...❤️🎄🇨🇦

i couldn't stop laughing sorry petko 🤣💜💙

[@helenegeland1667]

I want you to know how much I appreciate you showing ALL your escapades, not just the ones that are smooth and polished, so to speak. You don't try to give the impression that managing these little beauties is easy peasy, smooth and slick. You let us see the ones that are a little more... uncooperative. The ones that weren't interested in hubba hubba time, the ones that bolt and have to be "wrangled and Lassoed", and the community group that didn't turn out so well. I thoroughly enjoy your presentations! (The look on your face when that one rebellious fellow disappeared entirely was priceless.)

[@Fugax_8]

Petko, I have to say, I’m a huge fan of your channel. I’m petrified of spiders but watching your videos has helped me a lot. Your enthusiasm for the hobby really comes through and I find myself looking forward to new videos. One of my absolute favourite KZbin channels. Keep up the awesome work. You deserve all the success that comes your way.

Tarantulas bolting all over the place and Petko throwing catch cups and pokey sticks everywhere. Brilliant video! 😂👍

[@beccadolls]

Just something so awesome about you Petko! You referencing, circle pits and moshing. There's definitely a reason I like your videos over the rest of the tarantula guys and gals out there. Also please make a dwarf tarantula video if you havent already please please!!! I recently fell in love with the Cyriocosmus spoods and and so curious to see whats in your collection. Currently my favorite is a hard tie between the Leetzi and the Hoeferi.

There's something special about the old camera, maybe it's because I've watched this channel for about 3 years, but the old camera is just gold.

There are allot of people on youtube doing Tarantula stuff, havent seen all, but some. You are my favorite. Your personality, the way you make me laugh and the fact that, i ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYTIME I WATCH UR VIDS. I even learn from re-watching. Ive had my T for a month now. He molted after a first got him and hes just been an eating machine since. Who knew 20yrs ago that today this dumb white boy from america would learn enough about tarantulas from someone who lived the whole way across the pond, that he could make the 2nd T ive owned a success. Thank you mr. Petko from bottom of my heart. You are number 1

I always have a smile on my face after watching your videos. Spiders scare the hell out of me, but you make it worth it. I am from San Francisco, California and I never see tarantulas.

[@boynamedlen]

Thank you, Petko, for making me less scared of spiders. I've had pretty serious arachnophobia for as long as I can remember, but watching so many of your videos has made me more interested in them and less scared. Before, I wouldn't have been able to look at close-up shots, and while my arachnophobia definitely isn't totally cured, your videos have made me realize that spiders and tarantulas are fascinating creatures. You are so loving towards all your animals, which is really nice to see! Have a great end of the year!

[@RADroyt]

You are killing me 😂 Having fun with the zoom on the camera and the tarantula is GONE 😂

I had a crazy time of my own last week! Our stromatopelma calceatum was gravid when we got her a couple of months ago, and I found out by discovering lovely little slings all over the walls of my critter room! Thankfully it was the second half of a double clutch, so the 26 I found were likely the whole clutch. Good times!!
