Petko is awesome! I like how he shows you the real-life things that happen as a pet owner. The dust when making an enclosure, sometimes a tarantula escaping, etc. It is all very educational, even when things go wrong we all get to learn from it.
@@cosmic-fortytwo he has killed more animals than the plage
@@staceymcnab1953 don't say that,(That means he killed more than half the population of animals)A lote
of them died from natural causes.
@@staceymcnab1953 shut up PETA
@@JP-nu7tm the truth hurts eh
Don't know why but I was just Randomly recommend this and I like this guy
Petko is great. He's funny and will always put you in a good mood.
He is a good guy and worth checking out are you in to inverts ,?
@@JPsPetNation Yes, Petko is the reason 335 days ago I became a tarantula keeper. I have already made 4 different orders from Tarantula Canada and now have 22 tarantulas (4 old world), mostly slings.
I'm subscribed since 2018
It was the same for me. Came across one video and now I'm waiting every time for new one.
"They can't climb glass, so there is... ZERO chance for escape."
*camera pans to scorpion putting on mini- Sam Fischer goggles*
Whoever donated that skull, that's an amazing skull and you rock. Keep doing you!
I don't think you've done a bad enclosure. All of them have looked amazing.
You can clean those stains on the glass by simply washing them with some acid. I use citric acid cause vinegar smell can sometimes be hard to remove from the enclosure
Michał Szramko Absolutely, where I live we have ‘hard’ water, which stains horribly. I use a slice of lemon to clean the sides of glass enclosures. It works wonders, and leaves a nice scent.
Careful, citric acid can dissolve the exoskeleton of insects leading to dehydration. that why its a great way to protect your plants from aphids.
03:44 that sound is actually Petko being terrified of the spider off-camera
thats hilarious lmao X"D
RIP Cappuccino :( His death make me still sad! :(
Me to 😢😔
I like your accent so much, it’s like anti-stress
Dude i swear i see u everywhere
Yuvaneesh Shankar I didn’t know I was so popular lol. Can you give some examples of videos were I commented?
😅
I saw u in antscanada,exotics lair and alot more channels
Yuvaneesh Shankar cool.
"New deadliest enclosure!"
Me looking at my Hadronyche Formidabilis enclosure on my bedroom shelf: *laughs in Australian*
Yeah, we are renovating and had the biggest red backs Ive ever seen in my life. Like bodies (not legs) the size of 50c coins.
I hope it is at least the Sydney version :D
@@Ri_Shin_Marco Formidabilis is likely even more potent than both a male Atrax Robustus (Sydney funnelweb) and Hadronyche Infensa (Darling Downs). I have 9 or 10 Atracids currently and Formidabilis is definitely probably the only one that would go for a finger if you were foolish enough to poke its triplines
You freaking psycho 😂😂😂
@@rezonantsarachnids5351 I don't know it any better. I just remembered that in a random video they talked about the funnelweb spider and that the Sydney version (male) has the most potent venom out of all funnelweb spiders.
If that spider just popped out and started crawling on me like that I would do some amazing karate moves while jumping around and screaming.
Honestly 😂😂
Why is this a recommendation i didnt ask for but didnt know i needed lmao....shoutout @The DarkDen and @ExoticsLair

Pahed watch the hot sauce challenges r so funny ..
@@wandasteeves5239 more recommendations here i come! lol ty
Use one part of vinegar with two parts of water and clean those calcium residue from glass.
EDIT: Also fresh and sharp razor blade is great to clean glass
Deadliest enclosure: Proceeds to put bare hand in enclosure
Been following you since the beginning Petko, love your videos and have a profound respect for tarantulas thanks to you. Can’t own any(wife is scared of them) but you helped pave a way for other hobbies I enjoy that she can stand. Always look forward to your videos.
Just started watching you in Mississippi!! Love your channel and now I'm getting a tarantula again. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
4:08 Petko: I need a mask!
Careful what You wish for right?
Thank you Dark Den. I subscribed only a few weeks ago and I have learnt so much from you. You have inspired me to get into tarantula keeping and I'm loving every moment of it. Bought my first Aphonopelma seemanni 4 days ago. Once again, thank you for your videos. I wish I would've known about this channel a few years ago.
I love watching these videos carry on you'll get to 1 million subs (: good luck!
For the stains on the glass, i used to brush them with toothpaste and a nail brush. Worked like a charm
"When it hardens it gets really hard" - The Dark Den 2020
This is awesome. I don't think I'll ever keep inverts, going to stick with dart frogs. But if I did it would be a scorpion, they are fascinating. Your vids are really inspiring even for people like me who dont keep turantulas and other inverts.
Also updates on your frogs are always welcome! Lol
If you're interested in scorpions, look into Tityus stigmurus. Fascinating parthenogenic species
I love this setup! Deadly vibe indeed. Gonna do something like this for my scorpion next time!
How I miss Cappucino😭
Yes me too. 😢🙏💙
Mee too😢😭😭😭😭
Who is cappucino?
@@gazepskotzs4 Watch his earlier videos (which I recommend anyway). Cappuccino was his hamster, and Cappuccino was sooo well taken care of♥️. The Dark Den has been around a long time now, and hamsters don't live long 🙁
@@lead2049 yes i just saw them , but thanks for the update!
Sweet (and deadly) enclosure! That must have been a big raccoon considering the size of the skull.
Long live Cappuccino ❤️
Thank you so much for your hard work and your passion! You were so intrumental in helping me grow my collection of T's and now I am considering a scorpion. I look forward to every one of your videos and thoroughly enjoy them.
P.S. my condolences for Cappuccino.
My Ultimate favorite TH-cam Channel of all time. Love your passion and videos.
That enclosure is dope :-D
Thanks for what you do!
Best wishes from denmark.
Hope you're doing alright, good vid as always!
Petko:2020: " when it hardens it becomes hard"
Amazing to see the new set up!
White vinegar should remove the stains from the water and then you can clean with simple glass polish
Yup! White vinegar will clean hard water spots no problem. That's what I used on my vivariums. Works like a charm. Would love to collaborate with you Petko. Really enjoy your videos and your enclosures are what dreams are made of. I do my best to design my enclosures around yours.
Loved the new video 😍 plan on getting 3 death stalkers and having a communal enclosure glad to see they have a nice new big home it looks great!
We have those scorpions in my country (Argentina) they represent a huuuuge problem during summer because we have to separate hour beds from the walls and put lavender on the entire house in order to keep them away, but at the same time they are so interesting to see.
Great enclosure. Love your vids👍👍👏
To clean the glass use vinegar to distilled water 1:1 solution, and add some lemon juice for antibacterial function as needed. You can soak it for best results or use a scrubbing pad.
I absolutely love your videos I have a fear of tarantulas but I love scorpions but it's so interesting to see how all the spiders live and I love how enthusiastic you are and the passion you have, your videos deffo cheer me up keep up the great work man, hope you see this!
For water stains try with lemon juice/citric acid, I've read somewhere that vinegar may eat plastic and silicone
Also, to avoid the stains in enclosures that you mist frequently you can use demineralised or distilled water, the one for the clothes iron. I use it for cleaning glass cabinets and for misting down a glass snake enclosure and works amazing.
It should be ok for plants too as you usually go bioactive and the minetals are in the soil but I'm not an expert, I killed asparagus ferns and money trees
Substrate: *Hardens*
Scorpion: I still dig it.
Petko, ever since i saw your first ever feeding video you made me own 5 tarantulas. Already! 😂
And i’m keeping them for 2 months now. Such an inspiration.
"Begone, dust!" -- will be my mantra for this year. X-D
Rip Cappuccino! You gave him a happy life for the time you had him🐹💕
Cerium Oxide is glass polish to remove hard water stains, etc. Works really well!
Vinegar is pretty useful for getting rid of water stains on tanks!
Just make sure you don't mix-up your vinegar spray bottle with your water spray bottle!
I saw an employee do that once, the animals were not pleased to say the least.
I had scorpions that to my joy had babies. 17 of them. It was fun watching the mother take care of them. When the got about an inch long. I was laying in bed one nite and I heard a scratching noise. When I figured out where it was coming from I saw three of the babies hanging upside down on their mesh screen that was the cover to the aquarium they were housed in. I thought how did you get up there. You can’t climb glass. Upon further inspection I found the rest of the pack of baby scorpions stacked up in the corner creating a scorpion ladder that allowed three of them to make a break for it. So just learn from that lesson. These creatures are intelligent creative and capable of abstract thinking. If they can they will figure a way out.
Love your videos. Thanks for your love of your hobby.
Petko, sometimes a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water sprayed onto the glass and left to saturate 10 or more minutes will break up the water stains...animals removed during process of course, and then scrub with a no scratch scotch pad. It has been a natural miracle worker on urine stains on my bunny litter boxes and such. Minimal elbow grease involved too. Love hearing your accent btw. Hope it will work for you. Cheap, safe and easy cleanup. Gets rid of lots of residues. Keep up the great work. I hate spiders and tarantulas...with exception of heart butt tarantula...too cute! Love your attitude and content! I would love to visit Croatia one day.
Yes! Vinegar works well with cleaning most anything just normal white distilled vinegar. I use it instead of window cleaner
I don't know wether or not scorpions are ok with it but it's harmless to house pets
i'm glad you're doing this because i've been thinking about getting another egyptian fattail (androctonus australis) and i was about to start looking into how to set it up properly... Thank again bro
Nice work with the enclosure Petko,looks great!
That stained glass you have is actually calcium build up. you can use ph down for aquariums to remove the stains. and it does not gas of when you use it so the animals can be in the tank while you do it. just dont use a towel only use paper towels. it will eat through a regular towel.
It made me nervous to see him putting getting the scorpions with just his hands and a little cup.
Vinegar and an exacto knife should remove those stains. Wipe it with vinegar and while it is wet use the exacto knife to scrape the glass.
Such a great looking enclosure. I have a canid skull (found in Poland) waiting for my hamorii for when she gets a bit bigger.
Have you tried just a glass scraper? Even a razor blade? That will get anything off glass. I have aquariums and if they get certain stains that water and brushes cannot get off..just use a glass scraper! Hope it helps. Love the new enclosure! That skull really sets it off!🦂🦂🦂🦂
Awesome enclosure! If the stains are limescale (not sure if this is the correct English word) and therefore residue from water evaporation you can use normal vinegar to remove them. This also helps to prevent future stains :)
Kitchenhacks, I use vinegar to remove stains in my sink:D
Sorry for ur loss mate u should be proud on how u kept him he was a king
Where I live we have hard water. I used vinegar & lemon juice with water to remove it, a clean/new razor blade (Stanley blade/paint scraper) works well too :-)
That enclosure was the BOMB!! OMG! I love the desert creatures. Looked authentic and they are going to be so happy!
For death dealing boss mobs of doom, they're pretty cute
Talking about communal set ups, how is the Neoholothele incei "communal"??
Definitely want an update video on this !
From what I can tell they have their individual silk tunnels, but I won't know any details until I rehouse them, they are all mostly hiding
I love your videos so much and even more so with Cappuccino, you’re part of the reason I began to love Hamsters and Gerbils so much, And just recently l got my first two gerbils because of Cappuccino. ❤️
Use pure vinegar to clean the glass yes. Soak a towel and let it sit on the glass for 2-3 min ( or keep the glass moist in vinegar to destroy those calcium spots)
vinegar water mixed with dish soap, scrub the glass with a sponge then use a razor blade to scrape the calcium off the glass! i used this for my creasties cage and it looks brand new
The stains are from the calcium and minerals in the water. Alternatively, you can get a razor or hobby knife and scrape the calcium stains off. Probably the best but most difficult option as it is safe for the scorpions but takes time and effort to do.
If you use a mild solution of water and vinegar, usually its one part vinegar and one part water but maybe in your case one quarter vinegar and three quarter water. Soak a bit into a sponge or rag, wipe on the stains and then wipe off with another damp rag.
Vinegar leaves a smell and citric acid might damage the scorpion's exoskeleton.
Exotics Lair never sent me here directly, but I saw this on a side bar from his video a few weeks ago. Now this is my favorite "creepy crawly" channel!
Awesome enclosure! I think you're right about using vinegar on the glass :)
Hi Petko.. Glad to see you in good spirits.. Love your lots.. I was very sad to hear about Cappuccino..When I told my GF she cried and she has only seen a couple of your video! Thanks for all the awesome content.
If you use a white grapefruit cut in half baking soda on it rub it on the glass let it come up and smeared around sometimes you might have to scrub it with a toothbrush it will remove the water stains
Wow I love the new deadliest enclosure. looks awesome with the skull
I got my first old worlds today. OBT and Thailand Golden Fringe and I gotta say Petko makes it look so much easier then it actually is. Maybe it gets easier with time but holy moly the OBT was fast. It seemed fine when I was taking it out of the tube then it teleported onto my hand then ran around the box I had it’s enclosure in as I tried to catch it in a cup. I have never been so stressed dealing with a living animal. The Golden Fringe was a Saint compared to the OBT. My hat it off to you Petko if it wasn’t for you I would have been nowhere near as ready as I was for the mighty teleporting OBT. Watching and doing are two VERY different things lol.
Yes, scorpions can't climb glass...But a really determined one can climb the sealant lining the inside of a glass enclosure! That being said, love your videos! Fun and informative! I too was randomly recommended a Dark Den video a year ago and can't stop watching. Keep it up! And may you rest in peace, little Cappucino...
Hey, for stains like that use a magic eraser. NOT WITH ANIMALS INSIDE. But magic eraser gets rid of those stains and then you can use a safer detergent like Dawn to remove any residue or chemicals left by the magic eraser. Another really good method is baking soda scrub! Baking soda with a little water made into a toothpaste like consistency and rubbed on with a rag removes calcium build up and water stains, safe to use with MOST pets. You can also use comet, without occupancy, and they will remove it as well. Comet is not as easy to remove from surfaces but glass can usually be cleaned of it's residue easily. Lemon and vinegar together also work fairly well and are safe for MOST pets.
Hope this is helpful in the future.
I hear PH down that is used for fish helps remove the stains I would just look into how to do it with the scorpions already in there. The enclosure looks amazing though! Nice addition with the skull I am sure they will love it in there
Love the way that enclosure turned out
Use ginger water mix to clean glass build up hun just found ur videos love them hugs and luvs from a Mississippi woman stuck in Kansas
i have glass setups for tropical plants with high humidity needs and to clean them up i use a microfiber rag. those things cost nothing and are top notch for water stains etc
Late to the game... but I work with cement a good bit... a little spritz bottle around helps keeps the dust down. Great Enclosure!
I really enjoy watching your scorpion videos and I really do wish that there’s more videos on scorpions because they are always interesting to watch! (Rest in peace Cappuccino) :(
Great set up! I really dig the inclusion of the skull, which ties it together nicely. Do they have to worry about things like dehydration or do they get enough from the feeders?
Looks amazing and so much room for him to live in .. also amazing job . I am going to be rehousing the scorpions I have soon I think tbh
I look forward to that!
Vinegar is perfect. The stain is calcium I have very hard water and I keep aquariums so I often have to clean heavy calcium build up off filters and other stuff.
you can remove the calcium stains with vinegar and use deionized water to avoid the stains, that is also more like rainwater to the animals
That enclosure is awesome! Glad you got them in safe! Love the New babies!
I love the look of this setup. I would like to use ethically-sourced animal bones in my enclosures one day. They look so cool!
Always tuned in at 2pm central. Regards from Austin, TX.
Vinegar and a razor blade will clean off the spots from the glass, if you keep the razor blade flat against the glass it won’t scratch it but only clean it @The Dark Den
Tip for keeping the water off the glass check out Rainex it;s a product for cars . It;s like a ceramic coating for windshields . It stops water from stickin to glass and keeps it clean. Sold in a small yellow bottle in europe
@TheDarkDen If vinegar or citric acid and newspaper does not work try API safe and easy aquarium glass cleaner. I cleaned up old fish tanks quite well with it that were terribly stained up. They were not perfect after but a lot better, nothing else had worked. You might have to repeat a few times.
I am sorry about cappuccino, it is never easy. They are all unique and special which makes them irreplaceable. We will miss hearing his wheel in the background. These little scorplings are so precious! How often do you feed your scorpions? Does it matter what species, or is it just the age that really determines the diet? Thanks for sharing, I love your content!
I enjoy your videos, I could stay all night and watch them but I have that stupid school tomorrow
Yep.... White vinegar will definitely remove that calcium stain from the glass xxx 🤗
I been wantching the dark den since he got cappuccino the first video i saw was with him and this news broke me but lifes life and we gotta move on but still rip cappuccino you will be missed by soo much people you were 1 of a kind and i cant thank you and dark den enough for all the laughs 🙏🏻💔
Barkeeper's friend is a cleaner that can get rid of hard water stains. Many fish keepers suggest it for cleaning aquariums.
Beautiful deadliness!
Yay! I am so happy to see some good news after the sadness about Cappuccino that your deathstalker babies are all alive and well and getting an AWESOME new enclosure!
Yo yo, I use lemon on my Glass tanks to get rid of the staining, and exo terra sell something that also works well, also I have a reptile room now and you were the inspiration, I love it so thank you
To get rid of hard water stains on glass you can use vinegar, however, if you want to avoid using any "chemicals", try using a safety razor and a bit of water. Just wipe up the water after and it should be back to new.
The safety razor is for scraping the residue off the glass. I should have made that clear lol.
I Noticed you get Recommended alot to random People - a friend of mine absolutely despises Spiders and Tarantulas but he watched 5 of your videos now and he likes it. Good for you !
You should defenetly go to the houten exoknaag expo in the netherlands over there you find monitor lizards,snakes,spiders,scorpions and even hamsters with pedigree :) its an awesome expo and most of the people know eachother :) its really nice :)
Hope your having a better week, my friend.
I used diluted vinegar for glass cleaning! Like one part vinegar three parts water.
