That is one creepy BUGger!
With some attitude?
Badum tsss
Exotics Lair are you proud of yourself? You shouldn't be...
Exotics Lair you are my fav TH-camr
It really was a wet dream
Not only can they bite (and its extremely painful) but they can FLY. Truly terrifying.
This 👆 they hurt like super bad like really really bad lol I was bit by my hmac and it wasn't as bad
Yeah I used to hate spiders and actually have severe arachnophobia from having panic attacks when I was a kid because of bad dreams, but because of your videos I’ve actually began thinking of getting my own one! Also your videos are so informative and help me escape whenever I get really depressed, I always tune in and it helps calm my anxiety and just keeps my thoughts silent for a little bit! So yeah just wanted to say thanks and say you also help me with my anxiety and depression too! (Also changed my perspective on spiders completely)
Denisa Chadwick you should look at getting one. I hated spiders before watching the dark den but not just spiders it's changed the way I see a lot off different bugs
Just be careful though I've only been watching for a year and now I have 5 tarantula and 3 scorpions haha
same happened to me. 2 or 3 years?, currently about 30 species, its a addiction. went from panic reaction to thats an adorable threat posture.
I love this! As a former arachnophobe I too have overcome my fears of spiders, help them out the house most times and see them with a different eye. Wanted to get one but my husband refused. Maybe one day.
@@cornishtt my wife refused so I bought 5 now she loves them too
Ok love might be a bit strong she tollorates them but likes to watch them and watch me feed them
My best friend has a pretty strong arachnophobia but they refused to watch the videos :/ I was kinda hoping it could ease the way cause we are planning to move in together and I´m already googling nice tarantula set-ups xD Tried showing them a feeding video cause those are always awesome but nah. They have two cats so I also have to cat-proof the encolsure somehow, anyone got tips for that? I don´t think keeping them seperate would work and idk if they they climb stuff yet, they´re still kittens
I've always loved spiders of all kinds. You as well as Tarantula Kat have inspired me to want to start collecting and caring for them.
Without a doubt, you’ve helped me get rid of my anxiety of Spiders. Everytime i see a spider in my room, i fetch a catch cup, and a piece of paper, so i can release it outside in it’s natural habitat
Lolz Exotics Lair is so jealous right now. I bet he wishes he could use that kind of water dish👏👏👏😂😂😂
Lolz you're a bitch
Kayleigh Robertson: Dude chill out, don’t act all tough on the internet
@@Kayzkutz dude it was just a joke lol. Edgy dude always aggressive
This actually is NOT a Lethocerus sp. giant water bug, this is a Laccotrephes sp., which belongs to a different but closely related group of true bugs commonly called "Water Scorpions".
Care between the two groups should be pretty much the same, but as a rule of thumb I believe most water scorpions live longer and are also easier to breed than giant water bugs/toebiters. Water scorpions are also less voracious and like smaller prey items than Lethocerus.
@Declan Hegge Yeah, I think there are even Laccotrephes species in Australia, as well as other genera I'm sure. :) I remember catching a Ranatra sp. here in North America, was not aggressive at all and easy to handle as well. Hopefully Petko will see this!
Thats right Toebiters do not have tails
Is their bite as bad as a toe biter?
@@thezigrat561 there is a japanese video of a toebiter eating a small snake ......so i think the toebiter is worse , and is generally more agressive.
Anibal Matheus G so what is it a water scorpion? Or what
@@zulyaa4291toebiters are bigger and their tail ( which is where they breath through) is shorter and tends to be mostly inside his torax, as far as i know this is a water scorpion which is a close related species, i dont really mind the difference , but i know that toebiters are even more agressive.
I'm a vet student from Poland and I must say I'm scared of spiders, but these videos helped me a lot with my fear. I am still gonna stick with cats and dogs in the future but I will not run away when someone will bring a spider into my office :D Thanks for showing that spiders are really unicque animals and deserve to be treated with respect :)
You brought a bug known for it's painful bite...rather you than me
Your channel actually made me get over my arachnophobia. Now I love tarantulas and I'm not scared of spiders anymore.
Hehehehe oops
I love how you and Exotics Lair are creator buddies! I found him first and then he recommended your channel and I'm so glad! You both truly love your animals! It's wonderful to watch!
Ever since I was little I have loved all types of insects and bugs with a passion including spiders, even though they scare the hell outta me. But because of your videos i’m starting to find a new respect for them. Thank you so much 😊 ❤️
Thanks Nora 👍
As I was preparing a new enclosure for my youngest, I found a little bookscorpion yesterday. Not really scorpions, but spiders with adapted front legs, they are really cool in spite of their diminutive size. I would have filmed it, but it scurried away someplace in all of yesterdays chaos. Great video as always.
i have seen something similar in casa grande az. my grandfather used to let the pool turn green and it was water bugs galore! lots of large and small beetles, something that looked exactly like this and some water boatmen and something that looked like an underwater stick bug. along with lots of dragonfly nymphs and may flay larva.
I love how you take care of bugs and insects, made me laugh when suddenly you smacked down on a mosquito hehehe
Wow, water scorpion, it's super-nice, and easy to feed too! I have only small ones (they are not growing so big here), and they are having a good time. Now all that's left is to get great diving beetle. And yes, we need an update on assassin bugs.
Everybody gangsta until the water bug starts flying.
Just add lots of live plants to the water bug tank. Some floating plants, and small anubias. And with the tank height above, you could add some marginal plants in small pots
Petko you need to include a waterpump/oxygen stone for some circulation, it dont have to be strong or expensive at all but to keep water quality at its best, eventhough it breathes the normal air to an extent the rest of the bug is in the water but i am sure you already knew that. I kept alot of those things when i was younger in so called "lake" aquariums.
Grats on the new family member!
I have been watching your videos for a while now and ever since have been very interested in tarantulas and inverts in general. My girlfriend hates spiders but now I own a Brachypelma Vagans juvenile (unsexed) and we both love it! I use your videos for help with care and for general information. Thanks Petko!
8:35 Mr.Fantastic!
I adore your enthusiasm and the affection you have towards some of the usually fearsome looking creatures, you've really helped me appreciate certainly Spiders a lot more, so much so now when I discover a house spider I still have the knee jerk reaction of screaming whilst bouncing off the walls to get away, to watching it and giving it a name!!!! I either leave it alone. This is a huge change for me so I and Boris 1, 2 and 3 and so on (names of spiders) Thank you xx
It always makes me very anxious when he doesn´t check, if there´s more animals in the shipping box.
Just in case if there´s a freebie or whatever
He has said he doesn't accept live animals from outside of Croatia or something. Hoping people are respecting that! But I still expect it too lol
Sad Onion well, he previously got animals from Poland, Austria, england and maybe also other countries.
So idk about him only accepting croatian animals
I love the little “dig” on exotics lair! Funny guys
The new addition we've all been waiting for haha saw your tweet petko made me excited
Nice! Something new!!
Happy Keeping mate!!
I'm so glad you watch brave wilderness honestly 😊
This one is a major nope! Toe biters are an actual nightmare.
HobbitHabits/ Bri Bri that’s why they’re sooo awesome!,!!
Yea they're one of the few that i absolutely hate. Super nightmarish
Its not a toe biter, but a water Scorpion, a toe biter will make you scream for your mommy when it has bitten you
dave kessing it’s a toe biter, seeing the coyote Peterson video on being bitten was enough to jog my memory on the look of those guys. They’re very distinct.
dave kessing actually it looks like people are interchangeable using water scorpion for both. But I can assure you this is the toebiter one.
That is very cool. Though I did chuckle to myself about the water as well. I couldn't help thinking that Exptic Lair had to be sitting their going. YESSS
Awesome Petko!! Love ya!!
Duuude,that thing was super cool.
Very exciting!
EARLY VIDEO HYPE!!! I secretly always wanted you to own a water bug. I like them a lot. Thanks for the new addition to the collection!
Dear Petko, it's not Brachypelma vagans, it's Brachypelma epicureanum. You can distinguish them thanks to the "bald" spot on epicureanum abdomen. And also it's normal for this species to be brown at pre-molt.
Interesting little Creature. Definitely look forward to Learning More
Thank you for the great videos!! Quality is amazing too!!
I see you're a fan of Brave Wilderness too. I actually had no idea these were even a thing until that episode. That's awesome to see them in the hobby, pretty jealous
Pretty awesome addition
I just love your videos! I used to dislike spiders and tarantulas now that I have been obsessing over your videos. I really really want one they truly are an incredible creature!!! I also love your voice and all your reactions just makes me smile!! oh yeah cant forget about that awesome accent. I'm from the us-minnesota. keep up all the good work and amazing videos!! 😍😍
A water filter, bubble pump or both, should be used with water tanks to cycle the water and oxygenate the waters surface.
The water will become toxic and deadly unless it is filtered. The surface of the water has to be moving constantly. Slow is fine but constant surface movement is very important to a healthy water system.
Good Luck.
Ive been fortunate enough to see a water bug in the wild at a lake, they are so cool with there little snorkel
That's an interesting creature, never seen one before. It reminded me of those tailess scorpions. Cool critter and great vid.
Strange looking creature. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Yeah I used to hate spiders and wouldn't go near them now I will touch them catch them but also I am interested in how they look and behave now.. thanks great watch!
Whaaaaat 00:01 Petko uploaded a vid... AWESOME
That's a really cool looking creature!!
Please don't stop making videos they are great.
Wow that was amazing. What an interesting bug. Thanks!
Like your bugs, and jokes about Exotics Lair.
Have you both on Abo.
You guys are just amazing!
Great vid, thanks. And how gorgeous is that beaded logo! Unique and lovely.
Been looking for one for ages good luck with it.
I'm not sure if you can find water bugs of this size in Croatia,but where I live,in Greece,you can find specimens up to 11cm,many times holding frogs on their proboscis.They are just like the assassin bugs.
Ooh, she has really lovely coloring now after the shed.
Don't let that water bug bite, they can be nasty.
I actually only know about this bug because of the brave wilderness channel, so to hear you mention it got me very excited 😄
What a nice weekend surprise, a new video!
Thanks for your videos.
They are so terrifying looking. We get them all the time in our pool. We call them a water scorpion. I am terrified of them even though they won’t hurt you because when I was a little kid I got out of the pool and one was on my back-that was before I knew they couldn’t hurt you
I just recently started watching you and I really enjoy your videos, it's fun to keep them going while I'm working on the computer. Please keep it up... I've always loved spiders and I'm so sad that here in Iceland, tarantulas are illegal. I would really love a few but at least I can enjoy seeing them through your stuff!
The snorkel was kinda neat. Interesting bug. You mention Exotics Lair a lot. I watch both of you daily.
Ooh, I love those guys. Don't get bit though!
They are all over the place down here in Florida!
I usually have to wait until Tuesday to see your Monday video so it was a pleasant surprise opening TH-cam and seeing this lined up and ready to go! AWESOME!!!!
When I lived in Texas we used to get those in our apartment!! Huge!!
Wow that bug have a lot of possibilities to create different enclosures designs. The question is how create your own "swamp" without the bad smelling or other risks.
Hey I'm finally early. Cool water bug. Excited to see it in future updates
Even the little water bugs we have here in the States bite. =( "Oh they are fighting, uh nope it's sexy time. Naughty, naughty!" LOL
you cant actually listen that well with that P.met timelapse. .you just get entranced by the molting XD
Beautifull as Always...Thanks For Videos.
“I don’t like the way you are looking at me” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
COOL TO SEE SOME NEW STUFF LOVE ALL YOUR VIDS
Oh yes more animals. Can’t wait to watch the next video. Good job dark den
These things swarm south Florida around this time of year. Creepy as hell. But nice addition to your collection
Always love your unboxing videos
Black with radish abdomen 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
OHHHHH I love those! They look so alien
Unboxing is always exciting :D i love it :D
Woo! Hell yeah that’s dope
“She went down immediately...awesome” you lucky boy! ;)
i've just read the wikipedia page of this bug and this thing is horrific. I'm fascinated and disgusted by spiders, but this thing, i just can't believe it lives on the same planet as me
That's one bold mosquito flying into a room full of predators
Thanks for the surprise content. 😇
you need to put sand at the bottom of it enclosure and you need to add a corner with little pebbles that act as a shore line
I love watching Coyote Peterson! I watch you and him obsessively!
I love this one!!!
That is so awesome. An under water predator. This will satisfy my thirst for an under water spider for a while. I don't think the giant water bugs have a long life span however. This one def looks mature. Awesome video Petko.
Awesome.
I live in Australia and I absolutely love your vids
that framed dark den logo is really neat. .
I’ve always been pretty afraid of spiders but after watching your videos I have been actually wanting to get a tarantula. Thanks for the videos
Nice new addition~
I get smaller versions of these in my swimming pool here in Florida. The bite HURTS! I wouldn’t want to see one this big in my pool!
Nice add to the crew!
Pretty Cool!
Keep them videos coming bro good stuff
That roach Will outlive the other Bugs lol
Love it...!
"Naughty naughty..." xDD i love you man. I legit hatted Ts, and now...I'm getting one soon!
This just confused the F@~k out of me. I was like, "Monday?". Nice surpise though, cheers bro! :)
you should have your own arachnid pet store!
Awesome video as always. Keep up the awesome work. And cool new addition.
