1:13 Petko went full kronk style:
Oh right the 3D parts, the parts for the enclosures, the parts designed especially for the enclosures, the enclosures parts
🤣🤣🤣
THE MUSIC!! YES THE NOSTALGIA!!! I honestly am gonna sound dumb but that legit brought a tear to my eye from happiness x3
Absolutely NOTHING dumb about it my friend!!! I've been a musician for 40 years and that's one of the reasons I love playing so much!!! What other art form can so quickly evoke so many different emotional responses? Music is truly powerful and a very necessary part of us living a healthy and stress free life!
Yeah, that intro actually got to me as well, that's why I came to the comments, looks like you beat me to it though, lol!
Music is the only universal language in the world. Even people who have Alzheimers, can be treated with music to regain some memories. There is nothing else with such a power
What is a chameleon's worst enemy?
A tongue twister
Wouldn't the same apply to frog?
@@M_u_t_e96024 Do not question the supreme leader! Just laugh! 😬
@@CarrieP1981 yes hes dead now
Awwww i love how he climbed up onto your hand. ❤
I know! So cute!! 🥰
It's amazing how personable Felix has become considering how antisocial he was when he first came to the Dark Den. I'm ever hopeful Chips will make a turnaround as well.
Nah... Chips has incurable social anxiety 😫
@@seanrallis6714 same 😐😂
Would have loved a time lapse of Felix exploring his new set up.
Felix definitely deserved the roaches, he was a true hero holding onto that plant! You really are a great animal keeper, their needs all come first and that is very clear with you!
Good tip for future, soak plants in water for few hours before replanting them, then don't water them for few next days. That way plant will have water to survive first stage and drying "old" dirt will force plant to spread fresh roots around to look for water. Plant will recover faster and will also grew stronger roots. Great job!
You are just too cute, I love how you tenderly provide for each of your pets.
Love Felix and I love that new enclosure! So green and definitely adds some charm to the Dark Den 😊🌱
I'm worried, that substrate around the bottom of that dried wood might cause it to rot.
Yeah maybe he could have treated it with something first? Varnish or polyurthane? Idk im not a wood guy
@@mcohan6854 yes, I hope he thinks about it, or read the comments. That's why fence posts break at ground level, moisture will get to it and then his enclosure will have to be redone
Had the same thought
It will, but it will take a loon time and by then I will do something new anyway ^^
I'm glad that even when you use music at the beginning you still don't forget to have the actual title theme and music play! =D
Shefflara was the only plant i could keep alive. They also call it "The umbrella plant". I loved your thumbnail. I've never enjoyed you show any affection to Felix. I just adore him. 🦎❤
The dead wood tree looks amazing but the umbrella plant needs to be thinned out to expose it and help the light to go through it. Good job now paint it.
I love Felix and he was adorable at the beginning of the video when you were close to him and he kept reaching for you.
Outstanding work!!!! I'm head over heels for felix. He's one lucky guy to have a owner as caring and creative as you!
Holy crap!!! I haven't checked in for a while...the Dark Den looks awesome!!!👍😁
Awe Love his new set up for Felix what you need is some vine from the petstore that black rope and put it around he can climb on it too would be cool for sure your the best at set up cages thanks so much love Felix as he look like mine
One thing you could do to add walking paths to Felix is getting some thick strings (naval rope) and tighten It around the branches or using some kind of glue to make it harder
absolutly beautiful to see what you have done to the place..!!
It's very impressive how you edit your montages to be in time with the beats of the music. Kudos!! Great content as always
Awesome music at the beginning!! Very fresh 'n funky! Loved it
As a tip, you don't have to remove all that dirt from the root ball. Just take an old knife and cut vertical lines around the root ball going deep enough to cut the surface roots which encourages new root growth. 👍🌿🌿
I love this and how its on the fly and planned at the same time. Love it
Hi there, I know you do your best but I really feel kind of sorry for Felix and Despacito in that basement with black walls you know. My green iguana Pedro does climb all around my living room wich is very sunny and has a lot of plants and now that the days are getting wormer he comes and goes in the garden to see the sky and take sunbaths in the grass. Well I had him for years now and I trust him, even if once he went to say hello to the neightbor and almost gave her a heart attack :) love your channel keep up the good work, cheers !
Very nice! However, I wish you would have sealed the bottom of the central branch so that it won't decay in the substrate.
Amazing! I am now setting up my own enclosure and can't thank you enough for the inspiration and tips! 🎁🎉
Also, that's a money tree. basically a bonsai that you don't want to give a lot of room to grow. I'd put it back in the pot with filter cloth and drain holes in the bottom. then plant the the whole thing. Don't give it a feeding mostly straight water.
Keep a watch on the base of the dead tree trunk. If you are going to keep soil with moisture it can start to grow mold/fungus.
I feel like you should put some blue sky background for your lil turtle friend. Give him some scenic open space inside his space 🐢😌
its my temporary enclosure i will give him brand new soon
he'll be going to his outdoor space w/ the real sky in a couple weeks...
I love Felix he is so cute and has such a personality
We love Felix!
The white stuff is pearlite, it's good for lots of things, especially as a bottom layer in desert enclosures to regulate humidity when you actually need slightly lower humidity. That's normally not a problem for many people unless you live in a subtropical or tropical place, like me, and want to keep things more balanced. It's also good for keeping humidity perfect in incubation containers. Just check out how Reptiliatus uses it. for his gecko eggs or how Snake Discovery uses it for their snake eggs. It also doesn't mold! It's also not good for eating, in case you are thinking of it for a substrate for terrestrial lizards. They like to taste and eat dirt and gravel sometimes because they aren't very... smart.
I just want to hear you recite all Chekov's lines while building your enclosures lol I love your accent! And I love your reptile room! I would love this!
Been watching you for a long while now! Love your vids and thanks for all you do.
I’ve wanted to have/keep T’s for a long time. I got 2 jumpers, Phid Audux about 2 months ago but yesterday I got my first T, Grammastola pulchripes. So excited!! Just a baby maybe 1/2 inch.
Thanks again! I’ll continue watching you, Namaste 🙏🏼
I saw in a zoo video that chameleons lose their tongue dexterity if it is not trained regularly. When it does, the way back is difficult for them to use their tongue properly again. Very nice new home for Felix, I am sure this will make him happy.
Petco leave the soil on the roads you don't want to do that you can break the ruts and cause stress to the plant leave the soil on the roots take a big enough hole put the plant down in cover the top with soil watering and you should be good
Always love seeing a Felix video. Good job Petko. 😁
I've been watching you for over a year now. Just wanted to say I plan on getting my first tarantula all because of you. There awsome and have actual personalities. I'm not afraid of spiders anymore either!!!.
At 2:47 the plant is called a money tree or Guiana Chestnut. I have one and really like it.
I love Felix his the bomb, and he looks amazing after his shead .Always looking supper cool chameleon😎🐊❤
Bit of advise for transplanting hit the side of the pot to loosen the dirt makes it way easier
Hopefully your plant is hearty since you disturbed the roots. When given more room, they stretch out their roots themselves. I question why excess water would go out the side holes that are covered with soil. Wouldn't it just saturate the soil in the upwards direction? Seems like the entire pot would have to be supersaturated before the water were to exit from the side. Well, you wanted humidity so I hope it works perfectly. I would have put the holes on the bottom and set the pot on a rimmed tray with a little bit of gravel in the tray so there's room for the water to drain, but some plants are hearty. Worst case and it doesn't work, drill the holes in the bottom without taking the plants out, if possible, and try the tray. Most plants give some sort of clue if they're being over or under watered - dead leaves or yellow leaves, it depends on the plant. Good luck!
Felix is honestly living the life
Awww Felix is gorgeous 💙
I love the idea of a wide open enclosure like that
I love how this channel will always be a den and that petco never changes that.
Much love petco!
That's dark den is looking amazing love what your doing to it ❤
In the future you might want to consider vermiculite instead of perlite. I've found perlite is dusty as hell, floats to the top when you water your plants and turns an ugly yellow.
EDIT: Also, you don't need to break up the root ball. Pro tip... plant all your plants while still in their pots. Then, when you're happy with where they are, pull them back out, remove the pot, and drop them straight back in the hole. You can then rake the top half inch of substrate around with your fingers to blend the soils together to make it look nice.
Felix enclosure videos 😍
You see Petco you just have to show Felix and then you get ten thousand million subscribers and everything that's what I did I had a chameleon passed away I miss him dearly that's why I always say Felix Felix Felix cuz reminds me of him thank you Petco
The beginning shots had me thinkingly that Felix was saying "Welcome to Pimp My Enclosure." Lol
You don't have to remove that much dirt from the roots. That will most likely lead to you killing or harming at least part of the plant. All you're meant to do is loosen up the root ball a bit before replanting. Just a tip for future replantings.
I love the little time jumps were you dismantled his old enclosure :)
Petko, the amount of work, dedication and love you put into your new den is amazing!!! That is so impressive! And Felix is such an adorable and beautiful character
We all love Felix!! And for sure Desposito!
That looks like it will be a great enclosure for Felix
I have been waiting for this video for four monts now... since he said in the EPIC ANIMAL BASEMENT video he wants to upgrade Felix enclosure
Ah Felix! I love that you are so concerned about his age and taking that into consideration and adjusting his enclosure to protect him is so wholesome! I love how much you care :'D ( Writing this comment I have a junior Tokay gecko on my back lol)
Can’t wait to see him explore!
Looks awesome. Great job. 👍👍👍
Enclosure looks amazing
Love this upgrade for Felix its a great bachelor pad ...
Felix will like his privacy in the new enclosure. That last plant is really bushy. Maybe prune it?
Great job on Felix`s new home ! Thumbs up.
Greetings from Wolf in central Florida.
The music at the beginning was lit. 🔥 Hoping your next video is you beatboxing while feeding your T’s. ❤️
Amazing how far your making it man keep up the great work!!! I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning hopefully expos open up soon or at least hopefully you go to some soon!! Thanks for the great content🙏🏽💯
Great video love ya research with the plants watch you channel grow to what it is today hats off to you Brilliant my kids love it too ,
LOL seeing you switch to taking out the big plant 🤣 poor floor
The white stuff is called perlite in English. I use it a lot for my succulents :) .
The enclosure looks even better now!!
I still remember this little guy always swaying back and forth behind limbs to try to hide from you. It was like playing hide and seek and hiding behind phone poles. Really like the new dark den and Felix's new setup.
Should've ended with an 8 feeding time-lapse! Also I'm quite glad to hear Felix is beginning to tongue his prey more appropriately. Would be neat if he eventually manages to shoot it completely. I had to Carpet Chameleons growing up and it was always fun to hold the box of crickets in front of them and watch their tongues come and go.
Nice set up but dont forget a plate on the underside of the tube so the water does not run on your floor
you could put one of the lights on the wall to get the lower ends of the plants! Also.. Im curious, how are you going to keep your floor dry when watering the plants??
Felix never escapes his "enclosure"??? There must be so much trust. ❤
Yeah go Felix!!!
Felix videos are my favourite videos 😁
The dark den is looking incredible! you must be proud, such a cool space
I love your interactions together.. Lol
One day I will have a 'Felix'. I'm going to start working on his enclosure like you have yours before then though. It looks fantastic as well as very functional for him.
Dude that thumbnail made me click quick af😂
Awwww... That thumbnail is too cute!!! 💕
I love how he has basically a free roam enclosure. It’s like a huge houseplant with a little gem inside.
Hello great video update Petcko
That must be biggest hempy bucket I've ever seen!
Love it!
finaly more with felix
Can u do an update for those two large communal enclosure. Specially the balfouri, wanna see how the slings are. If they made a separate hide or just went in.
Those little white balls for in the soil are called pearlite in the US
you could incorporate both plants by putting one in a pot with the different substrate and hiding it in the enclosure
Great content, carry on
ayyyyyyyyy frick yeaaaaa I miss Felix! Please do more videos with him around man!
Great try gona look great but chameleons actually prefer the hight witch Is why he keeps trying to get higher my panther loves being at the top of the room it's always his go to
Would'nt it better to protect the big dried Wood in the middle from getting direct touch with humid substrate?
Yay FELIX! 😁
I love the intro keep up the good work
You know Felix is watching you right now. Petco I don't like calling that
That's a great video. You could cover the wall with a plant. (or build a wall of plants). :)
