I prefer being able to watch what goes on after the takedown. It also doesn't matter if it wasn't "amazing" or "spectacular" enough. It's all fascinating to me. The slow-mo and the close up shots are great. No need to apologize or feel like you have to wow us. We're here because we like you and we like tarantulas.
I 100% agree. I love seeing their natural behaviors
My tarantulas are in my bedroom. I love the hours after feeding when I get to watch them dance around and enjoy their food.
100% agree. I always watch mine eat after too. It’s meditating 🧘♀️
This 💯
Well said 👊
I think Linda stomping away the isopod was my favorite part.
"This is my grasshopper- get out of here!" *stomp stomp stomp*
def. one of the hi-lights ...loved it
😂😂😂
Hahaha that’s hilarious!
Petko: gets grasshoppers for a feeding video
The grasshoppers knowing their eventual fate: *Guess I’ll die*
I thought he was feeding the grasshoppers. Not using hoppers for food. 😳
Petko: What are you doing and where do you think you’re going?
Linda, caught red-handed: *embarrassingly backs away*
those kind of mushrooms are a good sign!! That means your set up was perfectly healthy! they are also not harmful to the T. Those were some of the prettiest mushrooms I've seen in a set up too!
I want some of those too lol
Flower pot parasols are the prettiest mushrooms I've seen in enclosures.. Bright yellow.
When mushrooms grow in your enclosure, it means you have the perfect environment. It might as well be a slice of the outdoors. I'd be jumping for joy!!
Only good mushroom is a magic mushroom 😃
@@user-hr1uj8fi3n gotta love some psylocibin
all mine have is mold...
@@sinenomine4540 get springtails.
@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni damn right. Shit saved my life in some ways lol
I would like to offer a suggestion, would you consider making a feeding video under strong blue light, or maybe even try some black light? I would love to see the nocturnal feeding behaviors, and I think it would make interesting content.
I think that's a great idea
Fr that would a crazy good video
That would work best with scorpions as they glow under blacklight (but you probably allready know that).
@@matt80one I do, but I'm betting they aren't the only invertebrate that can fluoresce. Maybe a feeder like those big green worms... the name escapes me at present. In any case, really strong blue LEDS would create a nice nocturnal ambiance. Maybe the tarantulas will behave differently in their preferred light conditions.
@@clintonneuhaus1818 If you mean hornworms, I remember Petko saying in a video that he can't get those where he lives. It was in a recent video where he was watching Reptillatus feeding I believe.
I loved seeing more of the natural behaviors of the Ts after catching their meals! This was an awesome video, very fascinating!
Those mushrooms should break down leaves and unused biomass to make your soil more nutritious for your plants, I'd suggest some good decomposition media like more leaves to help the plants grow. I might even take one or two caps and tap them over any Tropical/High humidity setup you have and then toss in a few more springtails into each enclosure. That should instantly help with plant growth and soil fertility and biomass for springtails to eat. Paul Stamets poured diesel onto a big pile of woodchips, absolutely soaked it all. Then he dropped mushroom spores in it and a couple months later the wood pile was covered in plant life! I say leave the mycelium in there as long as it isn't completely taking over and you have springtails to keep it in check.
Long love Paul Stamets!
Fully agree I love mushrooms and Paul is a god
Omg i needed this so bad im so glad u posted ive had a stressful few hours bc of family issues 😢 everything should be ok soon tho
Prayers

@@D4RKSNIFFLES. your welcome
Hope everything gets better dude 🙏🏻 💯 ❤
@@h3ntaihunt3r me too bro
Your enthusiasm for your taratulas and how knowledgeable you are about their individual personalities, shows how much you truly care for them.
Linda is a beast! Her enclosure looks so awesome too! Just like the jungle floor in the wild! Glad we also got to see the P Machala, such nice coloring on him!
Southpark taught and Petko confirmed: You will poop yourself when you die.
😂😂😂
I honestly don't mind the 4 with the little extras. Also always impressed with the fact you can get shots in the dens the way you do! Keep up the great work! Such beautiful tarantulas
9:43 linda kicked the annoying bug away "let me eat in peace, fool!" 🤣
I love how you know your animals so well... They really shine with the dedication, love and respect they receive!
I gotta admit, those hoppers were pretty dang cute! I was kind of sad to see them go... But if they were dying anyways, it's best they not be wasted. 💖💖💖
I think I like this format of feeding video more. Feeding videos that showcase more of the tarantulas are awesome, but the individual focus and seeing most of the feeding process was REALLY cool
Simply, awesome. I love how all your tarantulas were responsive to you, Petko. I thought it amazing how Linda backed up into her enclosure after you asked her, "Linda, what are you doing? Get back in your enclosure." And she actually does.
If you get mushrooms growing in the enclosure it usually means you have a perfect climate in there or something like that and also i think it looks kinda cool
I'm kinda liking the chill feeding video, I guess necessity is the mother of invention.
20:32 was an awesome shot. Love the purple of the T with the green of the grasshopper. Very stylish.
Loved this video a more detailed look at each fury tarantula! Definatly should do this some more every now and then
Fantastic! Loved seeing the longer footage of them.
"On their last leg."
Petko when the Grasshoppers die: :o
this was a great video, felt like the good old day when you did this all on the couch
This was GREAT!! The colors were vibrant and watching after they grabbed their meal was fascinating!! You get such joy doing what you obviously love! Thanks for sharing!!
This easily made my top 3 favorite feeding videos of yours. Great video, Petko!
I know it was posted a year ago, but watching it again I wanted to say that having these in-depth feedings with only a couple of T's but more close ups and footage of their habits is great! It's a nice change of pace from feeding several at a time. I know I certainly would be disappointed if you did these sort of feeding videos every now and again.
I have heard mushrooms growing in your potted plants was a sign the soil is healthy and has lots of organic material. Definitely take a look though.
If you ever get grasshoppers again, consider a scorpion feeding video
Really enjoyed the extra long feeding clips. 😎👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed the tins. 😄
Every time I see one of these I want to see a Pikmin-theme enclosure.
I never sealed to be amazed by the wow factor all big spiders have even our house spiders have in the UK. Keep it up Petko
I love the slow-mo! Getting to see the fang action (when you can) is great
I love how Linda sheepishly backed up in her enclosure when you told her off lol, awesome takedown 🤩 she's definitely got the jazz hands on with her spinderets for the happy dance (I have no idea if I spelt that right?)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1 of the best feeding vids so far !
I really like how you care for the animals and how you put the time in for over 150+ t. U helped me get over my fear and now I own 3 ts. Thanks petko!
8:27 see her “dewowering” the grasshopper 😂😂 I love his accent!
You could post a 20 min video of 1 spider & im still just as pleased!!! The editing of this one *chefs kiss* love the pokey takedown there so beautiful!!!!
ALL takedowns were great!!! 😍
Hello Petko! I wonder if Elvira's fangs were still too soft from her recent molt to penetrate that big grasshopper? Great to see a new video, very cool!
It looked like none of them could pierce that armored segment.
I woule LOVE to see more after action if it means fewer feedings. The takedowns are nice and all, but seeing their after feedings are cool too.
This footage is amazing. I love being able to watch them afterwards the take down.
Also that hair kicking footage!! Amazing
Linda kicking away the isopod
"go away this is my dinner not your's" isopod comes back.
Linda "I told you go away this is MINE😂
Petko: *receives box labelled 'fragile'*
also Petko: *shakes box* 🤦🏻♀😂
Itching for some whip scorpion content!
loved the take downs and the slow-mo i got into spiders and creepy crawlers because of my late father who was a pest control for the USAF and he loved the different spiders that we would watch together on your channel
I'm new to this channel and laughed so hard when you zoomed the camera in to you hitting the enclosure into the camera. Well done sir 👏
Great job editing Petko ! I liked what you did with the beat of the song and the cuts in video! It’s hard for me to explain but i think it was during the P. Regalis (sp) happy dancing
I would highly recommend that Monarch Monster, very tasty!
And by the looks of it, if your a tarantula then grasshoppers are very tasty as well.
the dead grasshopper heard his homie scream and had the s**t scared out of him.
The grasshopper at the end of the last clip looking out at the camera like "SOMEBODY HELP ME" lmfao
you literally safe my evening I had to learn the whole week and the next one and a half -.- thank you for giving me a break :)
Petko could u make a rehouse video for the a.geniculata. So we can honor her with a beautiful enclosure because she never disappoints in feeding videos.🥸
This format is waaay better than i thought and im very impressed, its a great learning curve, i didnt know i wanted to know what happened after the takedown until i saw what happened after the take down. Great shots well done.
Clips were great. I, for one, was glad to hear that the hoppers were slowly dying. A fully active hopper can be potentially fatal to a tarantula. They love kicking their back legs to try and get away and the spines can cut through the abdomen.
I didnt even know grasshoppers could get that big! Wow! They are terrifying.
I think it is great that you keep a wall of their skin, recently I thought you were collecting the dead spiders. It looks awesome, keep doing these videos!
Holy heck. Linda's feeding clip was National Geographic worthy. Like something you'd see on TV. Epitome of awesome.
Gotta love that classic Acanthoscurria geniculata feeding response! CHOMP
Edit- and the colors of the grasshopper and the P. machala!!! Sheesh! What a fireworks show today, Petco!
those specific mushrooms are completely safe. they often grow in bioactive tanks. i have them growing in my tokay gecko tank right now and have had them in many other tanks with reptiles, amphibians, and inverts before
The slow motion of the hair kicking was awesome.
I’m finally back after 1 year, had some serious stuff happening so happy to be back watching my main man!
He told us about the vampire crabs so casually but it still made really sad :(
I really liked the footage of Linda after the take down, I like seeing more of them doing their thing and the slow motion strikes were cool from Elvira
FINALLY a Linothele update! Great video Petko, you never disappoint!
The hair kicking in slow motion was so cool
Large grasshoppers and locusts usually have spines on their legs, I suggest cutting the legs off so they don’t harm your Ts
dude ive been a fan for a while you have got such a cool life man
Don't worry about being entertaining. You always are. You could show us boxes of colored sand and we would all watch 😆
loved slow mo, and macro on the kicking hairs. great video
The purple legs and grasshopper head was an awesome shot!
One of the best feeding videos you made
Those were all great take downs! I loved all of them! The mature male was also absurdly gorgeous!
I actually liked this long-form feeding clip video better. Normally, when you feed a bunch of animals, we don't really get to observe the animal.
The video with Linda was great. You could not have done better if you choreographed it. The little taps to tell the isopod to go away had me laughing. Any person who picks up a poop and shares it with the camera has been doing this a long time. Thank you for sharing.
One of the coolest feeding videos I really enjoyed it!!
That was great! love the slow motion, thank you!
Another awesome feeding video, I love your enthusiasm man 👍
Fantastic video, Dark Den is my favourite channel!
The mushrooms are Leucocoprinus ianthus if you're interested. Common one to appear in houseplants/vivariums. Perfectly safe (don't eat them though :D). They appear when soil conditions are good and moist enough.
I'd like to see a full video of happy dancing to see them wrap it up and maybe even throw it out
Love these videos, Great way to chill and relax.
The slow mo of linda is like a movie wow
Thanks for showing your machala. I have 6 pamphos and they are my favorite. 🖤
Awesome video. I really enjoy the different feeders.
I absolutely love your videos, I am not totally a spider person but you are changing my mind. I hope all is well with you and yours!
Awesome feeding video beautiful spiders love it in slow motion
Petko picked up that grasshopper poop faster than last mozzarella stick on the plate 🤣
I always look forward to seeing your videos , you did not disappoint great clips to make interesting and enjoyable video
whoa whoa whoa
grasshoppers poop? whaaaat????!
I also really liked when Linda kicked at the isopod! No one steals the spotlight from Linda! No one!
This was great! I actually really liked being able to stay with each tarantula for a bit after the takedown. I liked watching their webbing behavior. It was also really interesting to see how each tried to handle such large prey.
Your English has come
Such a long way! Very impressed
Hey Petco! For 2:49 , yes, you have to cut open and gut the abdomen of grasshoppers, the same way you'd do with a tarantula. I've done it on biology field practice, not a pleasant activity if you ask me :D Also, be careful when you pin the grasshopper because the thin antennae can break very easily.
My homie is back with the box opening
I was waiting your video all day, and I just loved these long feeding clips.
happy dance is re ankering the sensor web to surface btw
Epic video with some epic feeders. I always enjoy when you get interesting feeders for your tarantulas. I have enjoyed the hissing cockroaches and the headlight roaches as well!
I like this style video and Clinton Neuhaus had a great idea with the black light or something like that to see how they are in the dark
14:37 she was like: '' look at me papa, no hands!'' and I think that´s just cute
Great video was cool to see the slow mo footage 👌🏼
