I'm odded out by myself... I really don't like spiders, and they do kind of freak me out. Yet I've been binge-watching your videos for weeks now - and I LOVE it. I find most of your tarantulas somewhat lovely and - dare I say - beautiful? It actually helped me with my fear of spiders. You sir are a wonderful person. Thank you so much 💓
Aleksandra König his videos help many people but also a mind frame helps as well. Knowing how arachnids keep pest populations down is quite calming. Videos help more but that little bit of knowledge helps too. 😊
I find there to be a mass difference between tarantulas and small spiders. I know that spiders are useful and beneficial but I have a decent amount of fear of them but Ts do not bother me. They seem less like a creepy crawly and more mammalistic I think. Or perhaps it is because they are less likely to surprise me lol

It was kinda cute when he finished molting and it looked like he was playing with his legs and feets because usually they look really sturdy but right after the molt they look like freshly cooked noodles and he was just noodling his legs around :)
I know you saying to leave them alone is for their own good because a lot of people are over zealous but, I have to say I appreciate you showing this in case something happens where this might become a necessity. Like it getting stuck on something where it could tear or injure in whatever way their abdomen. It is after all still your pet and you must make sure they are safe. Also, after you pulled the bit out from under him they way he moved looked like he was tucking himself into bed and it was so adorable.
I've never really liked anything that's creepy and crawly, I actually tried to get over my fear of spiders by watching your videos, and I actually figured out that spiders are just like any other pet, they have attack patterns and defense patterns and are just as dangerous as a cat or large dog, well at least most species...
My pink toe just had a sh*tty molt today. I was so scared for him because of the way his body was contortioned at times, I really thought he was having a stroke. The way it looked like he molted standing up. I wanna thank you petko for having this channel and caring for ur tarantulas the way you do. I have had "June bug" going on 9 months and this is his 4th molt, but because of this channel I have learned so much and feel as if I was prepared for this before I even knew what was happening. He fell from his perch, luckily it wasn't that high, then had a hell of a time getting back up, almost like he couldn't use his back legs or something. I know the next step is in a couple days I'm gonna see if he can still eat, then I'll know. He didn't have allot of color before except his pink toes but now he is like a jet black color. We just moved into a new place and I knew it was hot downstairs but didn't realize exactly how hot until now. I now know that even though they dont always drink from a water bowl, they do need sprayed and hydrated, atleast there cage, every couple day. THANK YOU PETKO FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE
this makes me want to have more tarantulas! I only have two, I'm planning to get more in the future. Spiders are beautifull and lots of things to learn about.
I'm new to this channel, I'm a snake keeper in France, and spiders makes me really uncomfortable. but I really enjoy watching your videos, I love the centipede, the metallica, and the yellow legged spider. your content is making me learn a lot. thank you!!
I still can't break calling My B.hamorii a B.smithi because I started collecting 17 years ago and I had finally memorized all the scientific old names and they go and change them on me lol
Idk why but I find it cute how they get on thier back when they are molting its like they are saying "alright it's time to do this, Imma just lay like this aaaannd" *molts* "get the fuck off you damn exoskeleton hhhnnng" *finally gets out* "whooo damn finally, now leave me be please". They are so fascinating I love them! Hopefully in the future I get my own T.
The Dark Den it seems to be either Amaurobius fenestralis or similis. They're very similar spiders other than their reproductive organs, from what I've read.
Man that's just so Amazing how tarantulas especially big ones can turn them selves so small by tight the legs and bring it up just to look like a ball of fur!
beautiful?hmmm, maybe not, but most definitely very fascinating! i find its coloration extremely beautiful tho and i feel bad that they are so vulnerable for such a long time during this period! I have a love/dislike relationship with spiders...some are just a straight up NO! but others i care for a lot! i find that they seem diff from other insects...some seem quite friendly and aware of you in a curious way, ie the jumping spider, easily my favorite!
You definitely spoil us. Great video. Your slings are eating well and it always seems like they cooperate with you and the camera. Like they know they're on display and being recorded. My slings almost always go into their hide when I try to feed them and eat when I'm not looking.
I love your videos their always educational, especially this one with you explaining and pointing out different parts. Thank u for that. Keep up the great work.
I enjoyed this video so much nice! and really cool that you heard your fans, including me, about the names of the animals to be written in the video! you're awesome man
I'm suffering insomnia at the moment and came across this video. Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing, however I'm still scared of them so as soon as the male molting flipped back over I thought "shut the tank, SHUT THE TANK!!" :P
Amazing spider collection, got arachnophobia bad, but since I have been watching your vids I been able to either catch and let the spiders go outside, or squash em for my wife unlike before would end in tears lol!
Your videos are so good, I lose all track of time even when they're long, tbh, lol. I don't think I've watched one that wasn't interesting. You have a beautiful array of well taken care of slings and T's 😁
Still binge watching, catching up. Never even paid attention to tarantulas before but these videos are tons of fun. Commenting because they say it's good for the channel and also to say thank you so much for teaching an old lady new things and making it a blast to learn! I didn't see the Brachypelma Auratum that I like so much in this one but they are all actually pretty aren't they?
oh heck! i can see him taking little breaths. i never realized they actual breathe like that lol. I guess I figured they absorbed the O2 around them like how frogs do in water. That's such a cool thing to see!
great vid! I find the moulting process fascinating. I love watching when it happens, I was able to time laps when my beautiful Brazilian Black moulted :D
Those Taps are fast as lightening and excitable wee beasties, no? My T. gigas is probably the fastest spider in my New World collection and has seemingly spent half of her life darting around the spider table and leading me a merry dance!
That's why happened to my sling when I commented to you last time! I pulled the molt out and it tore the old molt, but he still has stuff stuck to his abdomen, his legs are kinda messed up on the back as well. I tried the water on him, but hasn't made much of a difference, he is still alive, still not sure if he is going to make it, I put a dead cricket in there today, about 9 days after molting and he still hasn't taken it.
i was just thinking about this today, what what would happen if a spider couldn't fully remove itself from its molt, and then youtube recommends me this :D
Why does every video about tarantulas have at least one comment about how “crazy” it is that the commenter is afraid of true spiders but not tarantulas?
Darlene Penni sometimes. increased humidity levels assist in molting. it makes the exoskeleton soft enough to remove. usually, when it's too dry in the tarantulas environment, it causes the exoskeleton to dry faster....that's why tarantulas get stuck in their molt potentially leading to loss of limbs, death and other issues. that's why it's so important....no matter the species....to keep the environment as humid as possible during heavy premolt. with all the humidity, the exoskeleton won't dry out.
Darlene Penni edited my reply. I meant to say keep all species environments humid during heavy premolt. not to confuse you with keeping all species environments humid at all times.... corrected.
Does it have enough room in there? In its box? Also what does it mean, " ultimate molt"? Thank you for making all the videos. Really cool. Great production. Very informative.
I had a Chilean Rose hair about 2-3 years ago. Never knew if it was male or female. very docile. I handled her alot with my hands. I enjoy your youtube channel. love the Metallic one. keep it up.

Haha, it kinda became the standard part of my outro. But there are always new people watching for the first time ^^
there will be a new subscribers so he need to say it everytime he make a video
nah it was boring
It was kinda cute when he finished molting and it looked like he was playing with his legs and feets because usually they look really sturdy but right after the molt they look like freshly cooked noodles and he was just noodling his legs around :)
Noodling his legs around 🤣 new official tarantula saying 📃
anybody here also likes when his vids are longer than usual?
Panda Rem
yes! longer vids are good
Always a treat!
Panda Rem so true love when there extra long
I love all his videos, but i haven't watched all of them because i'm watching his video just since two months
I watch a lot of tarantula videos but have to say that I enjoy ur's the most.
Thank you :3
JoAnn Kirk grandma 👋
JoAnn Kirk I agree. But I also like the deadly tarantula girl as well as Tom's big spiders. But Petko is my favorite all time.

*Cough* OBT *Cough*
my face has been wating for this video for the past 6 hours
Pet spiders have it easy, free home, free food, no danger to predators... What a life

Is that your Taruantula sitting on a PS3 controller? That's awesome

I don't like spiders.... But you make them very interesting. Such as yourself👍
I enjoyed this video
I really like your commentaries on those Arachnids. They're so fascinating and scary.
I still can't break calling My B.hamorii a B.smithi because I started collecting 17 years ago and I had finally memorized all the scientific old names and they go and change them on me lol

Great video as usual! Your true spider is an Amaurobid (Amaurobidae). They can live a few years... if they are not eaten by their offspring that is!
Oh thanks!
The Dark Den it seems to be either Amaurobius fenestralis or similis. They're very similar spiders other than their reproductive organs, from what I've read.
Oh she or he is one of those spiders... I watched a video where the mother fed herself to her young to help their predatory instincts.
Glad you could rescue her! Thanks for sharing!
That was actually quite amazing and such a beautiful spider once the moult came off!!! That fuzzy abdomen and so blue!
Man that's just so Amazing how tarantulas especially big ones can turn them selves so small by tight the legs and bring it up just to look like a ball of fur!
He looks so sweet after the molt, so delicate 🥰🥰🥰
Molting into his ultimate mode Bruh this guys is hilarious
ultimate molt
The molt time lapse is kinda creepy, but cool at the same time...
This isn't even my ultimate form
am i the only one that found the molting beautiful ?
Mytzelk hahhaha
muis booyzen no
beautiful?hmmm, maybe not, but most definitely very fascinating! i find its coloration extremely beautiful tho and i feel bad that they are so vulnerable for such a long time during this period!

I thought it was masturebaiting😂
Marshen. I loved the molting! I was like wow the whole time
Don't step on cockroach, because then it would not move... Sorry, I had to.. lol. Another great vid!
I have never seen a better molt video well done, that was beautiful
this tarantula is beautiful
I wish I had a neighbor like you.
13:50 the pattern on the abdomen is *chef kiss*
Congrats on the egg sack :) and it was awesome to see a new feeding video from you.
You definitely spoil us. Great video. Your slings are eating well and it always seems like they cooperate with you and the camera. Like they know they're on display and being recorded. My slings almost always go into their hide when I try to feed them and eat when I'm not looking.
Heh, I picked the ones that I was sure that they will eat xD
I love your feeding sections so much, could watch them for hours!
I find watching your videos is helping me overcome my fear of spiders.
I love your videos their always educational, especially this one with you explaining and pointing out different parts. Thank u for that. Keep up the great work.
Excellent footage. Love your camera work.
I'm not the only one who likes Caribena Versicolor colors as a sling XD
Спасибо за твой труд!
Molting and feeding video in once? NICE!!
amazing vid. you hit the nail on the head with this one. thankyou!
I enjoyed this video so much
nice!
and really cool that you heard your fans, including me, about the names of the animals to be written in the video!
you're awesome man
I'm suffering insomnia at the moment and came across this video. Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing, however I'm still scared of them so as soon as the male molting flipped back over I thought "shut the tank, SHUT THE TANK!!" :P
Amazing spider collection, got arachnophobia bad, but since I have been watching your vids I been able to either catch and let the spiders go outside, or squash em for my wife unlike before would end in tears lol!
O ya and I love that Metallica you got amazing coloring!
You have tons of beautiful spiders! I love the Caribena Versicolor
I found those channel about 20 times into the suggest box while watching Frost spider history (skyrim) and I gota say, I love what I found!!!
The true spider is a lace weaver spider I have a video of that spider too. Awesome video bro 👍
Your videos are so good, I lose all track of time even when they're long, tbh, lol. I don't think I've watched one that wasn't interesting. You have a beautiful array of well taken care of slings and T's 😁
Odlican fiding video. Treba cesce da ih radis, jednostavno ima najvise akcije. :D
Wow! Never seen one molt before
nice video! i love spider that put webs every where
Never seen a molting vid like this thanks
That molding thing was horrifying but entertaining ;)
Still binge watching, catching up. Never even paid attention to tarantulas before but these videos are tons of fun. Commenting because they say it's good for the channel and also to say thank you so much for teaching an old lady new things and making it a blast to learn! I didn't see the Brachypelma Auratum that I like so much in this one but they are all actually pretty aren't they?
oh heck! i can see him taking little breaths. i never realized they actual breathe like that lol. I guess I figured they absorbed the O2 around them like how frogs do in water. That's such a cool thing to see!
I love your spiders seeing them malting was amazing
great vid! I find the moulting process fascinating. I love watching when it happens, I was able to time laps when my beautiful Brazilian Black moulted :D
You are amazing with these spider's👍👍👍💜💜💜👏👏🐜🐜
i have arachniphobia and watching this makes my skin crawl but at the same time im intrigued
hello the dark den i have many tarantula we caught them every day i enjoy your videos
This was a very interesting video.
I can’t believe I’ve been watching since this long ago!
that was a cool time lapse video!
You do great work! Love the videos!
9:33 me every time I see any type of spider in my house and it moves. 😂 I’m arachnophobia btw.
Wow never seen spider molt before lol cool
I live feeding videos they are my favorite and that molt was amzing
Those Taps are fast as lightening and excitable wee beasties, no? My T. gigas is probably the fastest spider in my New World collection and has seemingly spent half of her life darting around the spider table and leading me a merry dance!
Are you on drugs
Real talk
The shedding was actually kinda cute
Shy Dragoness he was so exhausted after lol so adorable
I love your videos, they are so amazing!
Yeah it´s Amaurobius Ferox, female I think. Here in Slovakia we have those spiders
The one smaller spider (in the beginning of the feeding part) it looked up as if to say "hey look I caught it Dad"
That's why happened to my sling when I commented to you last time! I pulled the molt out and it tore the old molt, but he still has stuff stuck to his abdomen, his legs are kinda messed up on the back as well. I tried the water on him, but hasn't made much of a difference, he is still alive, still not sure if he is going to make it, I put a dead cricket in there today, about 9 days after molting and he still hasn't taken it.
Time will tell, hopefully he will molt again and be fine :/
Thanks, its a Euathlus sp red, I have 2 of them and this one is the problem child
I love the Natalia it is so good in Color you should get a velvet worm it is long and needs a lot of space 🐛
Matalica
Wow first time i saw them changing their skin
Worst place to be during an earthquake! But still pretty damn interesting!
i was just thinking about this today, what what would happen if a spider couldn't fully remove itself from its molt, and then youtube recommends me this :D
Why does every video about tarantulas have at least one comment about how “crazy” it is that the commenter is afraid of true spiders but not tarantulas?
Hey there Dark Den!
Keep up the great work!... always find your videos informative and interesting!
Thank you!!!
Your tarantulas are beautiful
Great job for making the cut!
Harpactira pulchripes have won my heart
if you take a wet q-tip or damp cloth and gently wipe at that area that's stuck, the exoskeleton should soften enough for removal.
Darlene Penni sometimes. increased humidity levels assist in molting. it makes the exoskeleton soft enough to remove. usually, when it's too dry in the tarantulas environment, it causes the exoskeleton to dry faster....that's why tarantulas get stuck in their molt potentially leading to loss of limbs, death and other issues. that's why it's so important....no matter the species....to keep the environment as humid as possible during heavy premolt. with all the humidity, the exoskeleton won't dry out.
Darlene Penni edited my reply. I meant to say keep all species environments humid during heavy premolt. not to confuse you with keeping all species environments humid at all times.... corrected.
Hope he's fine after that mold getting stuck on him!
hope little buddy is ok
Does it have enough room in there? In its box? Also what does it mean, " ultimate molt"? Thank you for making all the videos. Really cool. Great production. Very informative.
I could listen to u talk all day 😜
really nice long video!!! love it...and even if you don't want that, you are so funny ( forgetting to record your P. mettalica). great job as usual.
subscribed , planning to get my GBB in 2 weeks , my first tarantula .
My guess is Harpactira pulchripes! Awesome video!
It looks like you're feeding puppies!
2:20 THOSE LITTLE SPINNERET THINGS! XD
I've always liked watching trantulas
POLAND
Do you have a Aphonopelma chalcodes? I think they're gorgeous and really want to get one :)
I had a Chilean Rose hair about 2-3 years ago. Never knew if it was male or female. very docile. I handled her alot with my hands. I enjoy your youtube channel. love the Metallic one. keep it up.
Poor tarantula. Great vid as always
they where all hungry nom nom
did you ever find out what species the last sling is? even though it's a sling it's so beautiful!
Great job as always!!!!!
is it harpactira pulchirpes?
