I remember a few years ago watching the dark den when it was his flat and he had a couple of shelves with tarantulas, then it went to a whole room with Mishka and it was awesome, seeing it expand to this is pretty surreal I’m so happy for him, and I’m somewhat glad he’s going to reduce the collection a bit, I think it’s a nice step along the journey where it’s almost like thedarkden has cemented his place in the hobby at the top, and he doesn’t need to keep expanding the collection, people love the dark den and petco and it’s been so long we all love the spiders, it’s gonna be more personal In a way
Damn, back then when the slings had all the chances to be free once they jumped off the tv table :D
" Do not forget your original intention."
Enjoy your tarantulas, Petco!
Got the notification, saw the title, didn’t believe it, saw the parentheses and had to pull over. Dang you Petko… Don’t ever do that again… We love you and all your pets! Cheers 🍻
sorry :D
Keeping your enjoyment of the hobby & of your family is such a smart decision!!! Kudos!
Only Dark Den Can Clickbait & Manage To Reveal Its Clickbait 6 Secs Into The Video😂
Agreed
☝️
It's technically not a click bait if it's true :P
@@TheDarkDen You admitted that it was over dramatic, you reached for a technically true yet sensationalist headline to purposefully mislead people into clicking on your content. This is clickbait, and while I love your channel and have been watching for a long time, I will be skipping this video after seeing the intro.
@@Aleaf_Inwindit’s not really clickbait
@@Aleaf_Inwindbit of a reach in my opinion but each to their own.
I completely understand why he’s doin what he’s doin . It becomes more of chore then a hobby .
Your little Girl is only little once so kudos to you for keeping priorities straight! With fewer animals to care for, perhaps you’ll have time to teach her about wonders of the natural world and its conservation. I look forward to the next chapter of The Dark Den! 🌻😁
I think it's a good idea to thin out your collection. Because I too miss the old dark den. Your passion is what instantly struck me. By reducing your collection you will have more time to focus on the channel favourites. Maybe we gan get some rehouse too. That geniculata deserves a special enclosure. She has been with us so long and saved up so many times from failed feeding videos. I'm looking forward to seeing you rekindle that passion you had😊
I clicked soooo fast and now I'm so relieved that I'm out of breath lol
Awww I’m actually tearing up watching this video, being a keeper myself I honestly don’t know if I could choose but if I had to for reasons you have to then it would be a huge choice of which is to go so I totally understand how hard a choice it has been but it’s obviously for the best for you and the Den ❤
Petko be selling T's like a used car salesman, and I'm down for that! 😂
But I'm not slapping them on the roof (booty) lol
15:08 14:50 14:50
This is so cool, and I hope the show is a great experience, not to mention a little well deserved kickback that will hopefully help you further your projects in the Den!
Thanks for the video Petko MANY of these are really stunning!
Totally support the decision, as hard as it is, im sure. It will be much better in the end for you and the spooders as well as the new caregivers. Im sure the smiling faces of the new lucky owners will make it all worth it.
It’ll be sad to see them go but it makes sense why, there’s no point in having that many if it means you can’t enjoy any at all. Besides I’m sure they’ll all go to a great home since I’m sure they’ll all end up going to viewers 😁 it’s also funny to see how many people were caught off guard by the title and thumbnail, lol you guys are slacking and missed the last video.
Support! Love that you put so much thought into your decision ❤ and that it wasnt made lightly. Hope they all go to excellent homes and will be cared for with much love. Hope you also get to focus and enjoy those you keep.
I remember when I first started watching you had just a few. Now, it’s a tarantula empire! Thinning the collection will feel good. Keep up the good work!
And in 5 years from now we see the titel of a video: See how I grew my collection on my own property by building an additional spiderroom in my garden! :D
The reasoning is the exact thing, why I only have 2 for the longest time I am active in the hobby... meaning for about 10 years now. First it was a question about money. But shortly after I got my second one, I just darw a line there, because I enjoy my two terrariums every day, but I have only so much time to sit there and just admiring the animals... Even 1 or 2 more would mean the hobby is tunring into more maintaining than just 'sitting there, watching'. I appreciate everyone, that has a lot of Ts and enjoy them. But if you dont breed and trade them actively, there is just no reason to have more than 3 or 4... not saying anyone with lots of Ts cannot take proper care, but I would argue as soon as you hit 5 terrariums, its turns more into work, than hobby.
Make sure to check for prohibited species in Germany :) P. metallica (partly all different kinds of Poecilotheria) is / are prohibited in some states of Germany, unfortunately. One of the most beautiful tarantulas, it's a shame.
Pay attention Petko, pokeys are forbidden in some parts of Germany, so be sure they aren't forbidden in the expo part of Germany and in the places where your buyers live!
Yeah I forgot about it, but now got an info that they are allowed in this part of germany
When we start keeping tarantulas it is so easy to get caught up in the addiction. One will becomes three, three become eight, eight become 10, 10 become 20 and so on. I myself at one time had 50 tarantulas and I finally realized that realistically that was not sustainable. I am currently limiting myself to 18. Which is what I have. I am reminded of something someone told me a long time ago about keeping animals and that is 'when a hobby becomes a chore, it is no longer a hobby.' Life changes and with those changes other sacrifices must be made. So I fully understand why you were trimming things down. I wish you the best of luck. because I know from personal experience that it is not easy.
the way the tarantula's both move on the glass at 8:52 is spooky lmao. Also your junglearium is lookin sweet :)
I had a same thing some where around 12-15 years ago, so I sold all my tarantulas except my G. pulchra. But now I'm interested to coming back to the hobby and just ordered a female OBT!
Yeah i feel this to, i have 62 tarantulas and i have gone full stop on buying anny new ones. My space is limited and now i basically need to grow the ones i have upp to see that i can truly fitt them all at full sice. Also with full time job wife, and 3 kids + some more animals i dont really have ime to just chill and enjoy the tarantulas as i did when the collection was smaller.
On a completley opposite note, i just paired my male L difficilis with my female and the pairing was succesfull and he lived. The kids will be given away for free to a friend that likes to trade/sell tarantulas. i will only keep one or two babys.
Nice to see Petko being responsible with his time and animals.
TH-cam took off my notifications. Wow ive missed you petko! Hahaha
My own collection grew to around 300 and it became a chore rather than a pleasure. After 20 odd years of keeping tarantulas and reptiles I sold, or gave away, everything and haven't kept anything for about 10 years. I will go back to it eventually.
It can be difficult to get rid of specimens but just keep in mind how much enjoyment you will be giving another keeper that will truly be able to appreciate these beautiful spiders. Wish I was able to take advantage of this great opportunity to get some beautiful Tarantulas but unfortunately I'm in the US.
Broooooo was freakin out for a minute. Then laughed. Then cried. Pretty normal for a DD episode.
It is sad , just hopefully they all go to good homes! So make sure you up the price on ALL that you sell
The part with the Poecilotheria metallica, is so interesting seeing them hang out on the door and just take the prey and go back to their spot like there is nothing to be afraid of.
I wish my "Electric Blue Thai Fighter" Chilobrachys natanicharum, was that calm.
I understand and for that same reason i want to keep my collection small....i only have 2 for now.
You got me in tarantulas 🤘an I have five now ,pink toe ,red leg , zebra knee , ornata an regulus 😅
16:55 that is one angry male and he gave you one hell of a good bye!
Ok, so you are moving your pets to a more manageable level. Understandable.
Wow though you were getting rid of all of them ..glad you are keeping some of them ..how are your jumping spiders...thanks so very much ..love your videos..
well that is the beauty of tarantulas, they dont care, wont know and can be rehoused elsewhere no harm no foul. so saying goodbye is only painful for the seller if they have formed feelings for their pets.
Awesome Video Dark Den🙂
What an amazing spood room❤
They just chilling together on the glass 😂
I would so love to buy some of them. Sad I cannot get to the expo. Damn it.
Absolutely understandable. It's really astounding how fast some collections grow (mine included). Add breeding Ts to that and suddenly you have a second job x3
I know exactly how you feel, mate. I have 100s of mantis right now and I spend all my time feeding them and not much time playing with them. Some of them have never been held and that makes me sad.
The first one is really pretty? Would it be possible to purchase?
As said in the video, yeah I'm bringing them all except Pokies, I forgot that they are not allowed in Germany!
I almost had a heart attack reading your title 😂
I'm sad to see them go, but exited to see what's coming.
Would be nice to see some smaller vivarium like enclosures with waterfalls/plants for tarantulas rather than the basic setups that way a smaller amount would look super clean and be fun to look at and maintain rather than just feeding tons quickly.
good luck at the expo!
You should really look into it if you're even allowed to sell Pokies in Germany!
Totally forgot!
If you're going to obtain spiders.
Can you find and collect/showcase if you ever decide to obtain one.
Micrathena sagittata, or Arrowshaped Micrathena, spider.
They look like a little Pikachu and they're absolutely adorable.
Amazing title, really got me there.
At 11 minutes is that an egg sack?
Nope, just a lot of web!
Make sure you fill out the paperwork properly for your stand at the convention. and try not to attract too many people to make the other people look bad lol
Good luck at the Expo Petko ...
+I was scared you would get rid of all of them. They are your family. but Im happy you didn't do all of them
i'm crying
Good choice! Less animals and therefore more time for each one.
Can I please order an enclosure And a specimen online
For the pickup on the expo? Yeah you can reserve some
@@TheDarkDen online order?
Passion for hobby is good, but also good to keep limits, or it turns into work and loses its meaning. Different thing if want to do it as work, but nicer to have pets than only collection/merch.. I'm happy with my few Ts, they give so much joy wondering wtf they doing
Good to see your bro
I almost had a heart attack seeing the thumbnail 😅
did you know that both Chilobrachys sp. electric blue and chilobrachys sp. vietnam blue have full scientific names now? the species formerly called chilobrachys vietnam blue is now Chilobrachys dyscolus and only a few weeks ago chilobrachys electric blue is now Chilobrachys natanicharum!
Ohhh, thanks for the info! I'm not surprised that vietnam blue is dyscolus because they look the same :D
Petko! Petko! Petko!
What what what
Hey, I'll see you at the tarantula fair in Germany
Great video
Pokies are such beautiful spiders. I love seeing them, all of them. 🖤 (my apologies if I misspelled "pokies")
Wish I could go to Germany for the meetup. I would love to own a dark den baby one day.
All the way over here in Calgary Alberta Canada its a bit expensive to fly but hope you have fun man!
April 1st is long gone Mr.! :D
This deception should be considered abuse 🥲
Imam pitanje❤ moze preporuka za kvalitetne terarije za kraljevskog pitona? Planiram ga sljedece godine kupiti, ali ne mogu nigdje naci dobre, kvalitetne i velike terarije, plizzz pomoc :)
Love the video Petko. Can you ship to the US??
Some? Why? Got a Chilean dwarf flame?
Yep, but I'm keeping it xD
@@TheDarkDen don’t blame you, impossible to find.
Then keep her
If he sells Linda I’m demanding my fobia BACK
Linda will never go away O:
Thank you. ❤❤
21:49 that’s a wish list one for me G pulchripes with some size on it 😊
How is the fish tank doing?
I've mostly gotten out of keeping tarantulas and have gotten more into true spiders. Because true spiders have a shorter lifespan they aren't a 30 years commitment and I can go on to keep a different species sooner. I will always keep 1 or 2 tarantulas around though.
Haven't Pokis been forbidden to own and sell in Germany? Or was it just a few federal states?
Only in some federal states.
But you need a cites paper that they’re not wild caught specimens in order to breed and sell them.
Thanks for reminding me that, I totally forgot!
@@TheDarkDen You're very welcome. I hope you'll have a good experience at the expo, after the disaster that was Hamm. Make sure to read the fine print ;-)
💜💜💜
I got rid of any that were considerably pet holes / never see as much as I love all species, even some being beautiful but not worth it for rare sightings. I perfer hardy species you see frequently and few versus many means more attention less actual appreciation for the fact of the nuisance of maintenance. If anything you can feed both frequently and at pace. There beautiful creatures, they aren't Pokémon I dont need to catch them all or own many. I'd rather focus on a handful and spend time actually watching then spending it all feeding.
I still want to make an acrylic coffee table enclosure for my living room with M.Balforui as a communal enclosure. A P.Metallica and a Theraphosa not sure what species of Therphosa yet.
If you want to send me one I'll be happy to take it ;) I'd keep it for life.
How long have those large tarantulas been in those tiny boxes? That’s horrible. 💔
U need to open a tarantula zoo
Wait, what tarantula expo in Germany? I wanna go there and i wanna see you!
Anyone know anything about his t-shirt?
Please keep the Pocolotheria Metallica 😢 shes my favourite and ill miss seeing your videos of her
whats the size of his enclosures?
Watching your videos as well as Exotic Lairs helped me get over a lot of my phobia, I now want a turatula but wifey does not allow it... and happy wife life is a thing, so for the longest watching you and you turantulas has been like sharing the experience of having turantulas, and seeing some of them go is like letting go of pet of my own even though it is not mine.
❤
I'm interested in a tarantulas
You will be buying them all back just so you have them lol there just like cars you sell a couple you don't pay attention too then you miss them
I'd like to know if there is a possibility to buy spiders from you or someone else that can be sent to Norway? I don't really know if we have anyone in my country that breeds them or sell them for pets. And I'm inexperienced, meaning I have never had spiders or handled any. I've learned that there should be a species that one can begin with, and once you get familiar with it and know how to handle them, then you could get other types that are more active. My favourite species is Venezuelan Sun Tiger, because of its colours, but I understand they are too active or aggressive? So, which one would you reccommend?
Nah,I couldn't do it especially with any animal I've had for a year or more.
They are a huge part of my life and I would never have got them no matter how many if I wasn't dead set in keeping them until I die or the earth stops turning .
Do you sell Linda ?
Kinda sad to see the Striata i sent you(assuming its the same one) go but at the same time im more excited to see what true spiders are coming!
Boiii I never clicked so fast on a video
are the trilobite beetles ok?
I spotted one yesterday!
Yeah bs click bait .
Lol he said he is getting rid of his Tarantulas. And he is. He didn't say he was getting rid of all his Tarantulas that would be click bait. Petko after the expo it would be interesting to see how many Tarantulas your wife thinks you got rid of you have so many it would be funny if you sold all 25 and she thinks you only got rid of 5.
Love this channel ❤❤ 🐍 #boaCrew
