Little update: Bonita molted yesterday so you can expect a sexy time video by the end of this year!!!!
So we time traveled to her post molt
perfect timing on that molt then. She heard you say sexytime and was ready.
Oooh even she is excited to meet Blondino 😁
Whoot!
After I handled my female my skin was irritated and it spread all over me from touching did you get any reaction?
Poor guy just traveled 1300 kilometers only to hear “I thought he’d be bigger”.
Haha, hopefully he couldn't understand ;D
Ouch 😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
That's what she said.
I'm still in awe that he handled that huge one right out of the box after its long travel. Wow! And the spider seemed like a chill dude.
Bonita and Blondino sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g 🕷❤
It's so funny when they clearly don't want to touch human hands. They're like "ew ew ew human skin!"
Me: Holy crap that's a huge tarantula!!!
Petko: Oh I was expecting him to be bigger!
Huge tarantula
Petko : "He's actually not that big"
😂
Your enthusiasm for tarantulas is what really convinced me to get my first one. I now have 28 and adore them all!
I am PETRIFIED of spiders, but your channel has helped me understand them better. Thank you for helping ease my terror. 💜🤗
Can’t wait to see the breeding video
And hoping they succeed without being eaten lol
🕷 Hey Petko....from CT in the USA.. I been watching for a few months now and just like many other viewers YOU HELPED ME GET OVER MY DISLIKE FOR SPIDERS 🕷I never realized that spiders are so much more then a "bug"!!! They are surprisingly really really COOL creatures, and you are an excellent keeper. Thanks for all your content and information you provide us. ✌💜🙃
It’s good to see my Blondino and D. Pentaloris arrived safe😅
I know they are in good hands. I’m so Happy to see this video. Now Blondino is part of The Dark den, he’s now a rising star⭐️ 😃
Happy Keeping Petko
Isn't Tarantulas forbidden to keep in France? Hopefully you didn't get outed by Petko.
@@-numaios-5985haven’t heard that… hopefully not😅
@@dyo-dyostarantula3994 il me semble qu'il faut un certificat de capacité pour avoir des mygales.
What gorgeous boys! This is the first time I have seen someone pack a T with moss. Are there some secrets to that? It might be a silly question but I have no experience with Tarantulas and such. And I am a curious creature :) Thank you for sharing your boys so this could happen!
It will be fun to watch you try and steal an egg sack from such a large spider. 😂
I think I will just leave it with her lol
I would haha
Oh my goodness gracious you opened up the second package. And I was like, Holy bleep cuss word enter here. My goodness gracious of great hairy spiders. My my my. That's a big one.. I bet he was so happy to stretch.
Imagine being that tiny D. pentaloris male, chilling on that corkbark and then...the sky above you darkens as you witness that absolute BEHEMOTH of mature male T. blondi right above you xDDDD
You're a madman Petko, I'm always grumpy after a long travel time, but you just opened his box and poked him with some cold steel tongs and asked him to get on your hand... I don't handle spiders but I'm impressed by your willingness to do so...all the best with your theraphosa breeding attempt.
He probably didn't feel like he traveled because he didnt have to buy tickets and wait in an airport and such. Only had to sleep
When you said you could feel his fangs, I broke out in a sweat.
Now thats a big spider.
Just want to say
Your whole set up is beautiful
You have inspired me to keep spiders again .
With in 2 months of watching your videos , brought back memories ,
I currently own 4 blondies , 3 pink footed goliath's , Singapore blue
And 4 other types
Well done keep going 👏
May I ask what makes or inspires you to want to keep spiders? Do you find them cute or interesting yet ugly? Very interested to know if you could indulge me.
I've been keeping them from the age of 8
So I don't see them as ugly at all ,
Only word that comes to mind is beautiful !
The fact they can regenerate legs
Ect
They are well ahead of us
This has been there world a lot
Longer than ours
Plus the fact us humans are killing habitat for them
Makes me want to keep them too
As they will become instinct.
"I thought he'd be bigger"
He'd be a prehistoric monster if he was bigger!!! 😯
For the enclosure glass it's also very useful to mention that it doesn't have to be new glass. Many businesses replace old window frames and have them around afterwards. They're considered scrap and making a couple extra bucks cutting them up is usually welcome. It's not like windows are usually scratched up bad either. Even if they are, you can use them as back or bottom panels.
But Petko is right, talking to small businesses will most likely get you some kind of deal.
Wow Huge spider on your hand holy smokes i would freak out for sure epic video Dark den
He has such amazing temperament!! Most cooperative theraphosa I’ve ever seen for sure!
And I'm terrified of small spiders on me, imagine seeing a huge one irl outside a enclosure is so scary to me(watching this channel to cure my arachnophobia and it's getting better and better 💗)
Watch as much as u can! My whole life i was so arachnophobic, it was rediculous. After 3 years of watching petko and other spider yt I finally got my first tarantula (a grammostola pulchra), and she/he is the cutest little sling ever! It really helps, to overcome you fear, to see how much love and passion petko have for his crawlers! (sorry for my bad english- its not my first language)! Keep it up!
Another youtuber that helped me get over my arachnephobia was Tarantula Kat!
For those of u with a fear of T's, there is another channel that can help that I've been watching too for some time called "Exotics Lair". I am NOT trying to take ANYTHING away from the ORIGINAL POST!!!💁👍🌟
He has numerous different kinds of T's, shows also how to care for them, handles them, feeds them, etc., I also saw a video recently he posted when he was feeding a T he'd had for over 5 years It was in the corner where he opened it up and the T got TOO excited and accidentally fell out of the enclosure 3 or 4 meters and hit the tile floor below. In doing so, the T's abdomen literally BURST open and he tried so hard to help the poor thing and stop the bleeding. The T died the next day, he was heartbroken and in seeing how he cared, so was I. The tear was too big and there was NO recovering from that. It was VERY interesting to watch and learn! 💁🕷️🕸️🙃
#Pixiegang #Crunchgang
@@wikkidfury Yes, I also watch him. He is such a cool guy. And Petko and him now each other. :)
@@wikkidfuryI saw that video when the T fell to her death, I was heartbroken for EL. but yes I agree 💯% with u, he tried SOOOO hard to help her in every way he could.
lisa 🇬🇧
you are too brave
Happy Holidays to you and your family Petko!
Tarantulas do have claws like a cat
Yeah, but I wasn't refering to claws that they have on tip of their legs. He was poking me with spikes on the underside of his leg!
I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Nice!!! I love the bird-eaters.
Good luck to your new breeding project with Adam. I hope that T. blondi male do his job well😊👌
the gentle giant hes amazing!
Great video
So excited!!
Never seen a such a patient Theraposa Blondi. Both a male of female I never that calm. Tarantulas never stop amazing you. Its incredible the how they can have they’re own mind and personality.
You really need to curb your enthusiasm before you get that thing to fall and split. They're not built to be off the ground and taking falls.
How do they survive in nature then 🤔
@@TheDarkDen In the ground. Come on man, you know what kind of spider this is and how they live. You were even concerned that the female might decide to go up in her enclosure because she could fall and injure herself. I'm not exactly dropping knowledge bombs right now. I wouldn't expect to be having this exchange with you of all people.
@@stanleyhyde8529 On top of that, an awful lot of them don’t survive in nature. “It happens in nature” isn’t quite the strong argument a lot of people think it is.
@@BugsandBiology It looks even worse when it comes from someone with this much experience. He could just own it and be like "yeah, I messed up but at least the spider didn't get hurt." It was a newbie's mistake and it's critique got a newbie's response. I guess I just expected more from someone who's shown so much good sense up to this point.
7:23 We are still talking about the spider yes? 🤣🤣🤣
🤭
Petko lookin’ like Bob’s Big Boy.
Hello great video information Petcko
the big dude was so chill!!!
petko: honestly he's not that big.
me: effing hell hes massive 😂
Wooooo, amazing
Another tip for getting cheap glass, visit the company in person. Big chance that they will sell you some glass under the counter if you bring cash (works best for small amounts of glass)
Oh gosh, beautiful big spider!
My hand would shrivel
Great day to you!
Supporting Croatia nice!
Wow that’s a big one , very cool.
They are such Beautiful AMAZING Species of Tarantulas Love T. blonde !!!!! ❤❤🕷🕷❤❤
I started watching your videos 1 year ago. My arachnophobia is getting better. As I watched this video I was no longer shaking or sweating, just calm and watching with interest. Of course I would never pick up a spider like you did, but that's not my goal. I just want to live side by side with the common, small and harmless spiders we have here in my country ( Germany) without freaking out. Many thanks for your help. You helped me the most when you talk about how beautifaul they are and how you stay calm all the time even when they try to escape.
Have you watched any jumping spider videos they will help you get over fear of spiders
Hey! Ich habs tatsächlich geschafft, meine krasse Spinnenangst irgendwann zu überwinden! Ich hab auch immer die Videos fasziniert geschaut und auch die Spinnen in meinem Umfeld genauer beobachtet... dann dachte ich mir, wenn ich mir selber ne Baby Tarantel holen würde, könnte ich bestimmt meine Spinnenangst besiegen - und es hat geklappt! Vor 4 Jahren hab ich mir ein Mini Spiderling gekauft und mittlerweile hab ich 4 Stück, die kleine von damals ist schon riesig! Ich hab auch weiter mit Spinnen draußen geübt und kann mittlerweile sogar Kellerspinnen mit Hilfsmitteln aufsammeln und rausbringen! Also - es ist gar nicht so unmöglich, ich hatte wirklich ne ziemlich krasse Spinnenangst 😅
Nice. I had some spiders in the past and i regret it that i couldnt keep them. Respect mate you handle them with care. I saw more or your video's and they look healthy and relax. None with bald spot on his behind so not stressed and relax eight legged friends
Amazing Tarantula.
Great !
Just a little suggestion. I handled mine 6 full grown Tarantulas for 25 years. I had 3 Mexican Red Knee Girls and I Arizona Blonde, a brown curly hair and a black African bird eater. When you want to handle them like this it's very important to make sure that your hand is steady and firm so that they will feel that they are stepping onto a solid surface. This one is big and Beautiful and very very docile. A T. worth handling. And No bad, But you didn't keep it low enough to the table and this could have ended badly. Also when she did get spooked and she fell l thought for sure that it was all over for her. Very lucky.
Just a few little points that I want to share in a friendly way 😊
Welcome to the den, Blondino! 🤗 He really is well-behaved, cute. Take good care for him, Bonita is a huge lady in whose fangs he should not end. But I am also curious about the sexy time.
Oh what a big handsome boy!!!
I CAUGHT A HOUSE SPIDER!!! my arachnophobia is doing better!
That's the clumsiest spider ive ever seen
i see that you are rocking the croatian colors for the world cup
Technically, tarantulas don’t have hairs, they have setae. Despite a similar appearance, setae and hair are not related, or even truly similar, structures (in fact, only mammals have true hairs). The only reason I make the distinction is because the “spikes” on the undersides of the Theraphosa blondi’s legs are also setae, they’re just less hair-like setae.
Cute tarantula.
On the glass topic. I converted a large exoterra 60x45 into a dart frog enclosure. I went to my local glass place for a piece of glas cutting for the lid. The front edge was polished and the edges that wouldn’t be seen were just left rough it was 6mm thick and they drilled 3 holes in it for the mister and water pump in the end it set me back £5
Drilling glass is usually also expensive!
I like your t shirt:)
Greetings from Croatia:)
The spider that came from France you should name it..
""QUASIMODO" FROM THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME.
LOL I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FIT BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE'S FROM FRANCE
You should give it a pat
T. blondi was the first tarantula I ever handled because I wanted to, before her I'd only ever handled peoples spiders because they wanted me to do it for whatever reason. Some day I'd love to own one, I think it would be super cool to have a giant spider living it's best life in my company.
Friendly for a T-Blondi. He more like an eight-legged Chocolate Labrador! 😂
What is the common name for the big boy? What a pair of gorgeous tarantulas! Your channel and a few others encouraged me to purchase jumping spiders of my own! They are both in early molt at the moment. Not tarantulas but so precious!
Me: I just shaved, did some pelvic workouts, I hope you're ready 🥵
Dark den: I thought he'd be bigger
Have you seen the video that ExoticLiar has out where one tarantula fell to their death, and you holding that one up so far from the floor? I am sure you know what you doing but he didn't expect that to happen.
yeah that's always my biggest concern. I love his set up, but i think for handling he needs a table down just like a foot off the floor, also in case they run off this table.
I would like a video about the comparison between the Costa Rican Tiger Rump and the Guatemalan Tiger Rump.
I just wanna say that I love this channel so much and I hope I can send petko some things
Just don’t know where to send it to😢
I will soon have a fan mail address again!
He is beautiful
What is Felix's current status? Is he still alive? Long time no see🥺😔
Hope to get this species one day. Did you get any urticating hairs on you btw?
I think arachnids worry more about foreign vibrations than foreign webs.
That tarantula is so big its like the size of that dude’s hand😮
He's a Theraphosa Stirmi - the Burgundy Goliath Bird Eater. Easy to tell as T. Stirmi has no hairs on the first leg segments. I have a female T. stirmi - fairly large and super chill.
Petco is that terrarium you put Blondino in, the one combining two of your enclosure kits?
If this man says sexy time one more time I'm gonna die 🤣
i like you.
He sure is an amazing specimen cant wait for the pairing ...
I think it would be cool if you got an egg sacrifice especially since you are not really expecting one
Wow, he's massive. Keeping fingers crossed that the sexy time will be successful.
Off topic but that T-shirt is cool.
I commented way too early, that is an awesome experience handling that big dude.
2nd edit now I know why your wearing the T-shirt!
I would name him Spike
I have had a curly hair tarantula for over a year now, and last weekend I added a GBB too my collection.I also have some questions on a chameleon setup. Idk if you have a video but I would love one. I got my chameleons about a month ago and he’s already got compaction and had to go to the vet and get a enema. Any suggestions or tips ?
Could you use plexiglass for the enclosure's if it's cheaper?
Nobody beats Zilla!
Vamos Argentina!!!!!!!
Something
You should wait at least 6-8 weeks after the molt before you try to breed them.
I have a T. stirmi mature male… I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to raise him myself. He’s not the sweetest. But he’s giant, and I still love him, even if he’s kicked hairs at me. I wish I could find someone nearby to me mate him, he’s made two webs already 😭
SherpaDesign did a video about getting glass @ IKEA not long ago. How to cut it. How cheap it is. That may help some people. I hope anyway. ☺️
what about acryl instead of glass to make it cheaper
Eighth final here we come 🇭🇷🇭🇷
Anyone in here from the north of England that’s managed to find a glass company there all so expensive near me man…
I've held my female blondie
11 inches very heavy
Is the hardness of breeding xenestis also the reason for the high prices???
Hey, if you happen to see this, how’s Felix doing? Hope he’s doing ok!
Croatia into the semifinals of the World Cup ❤️
