ye....bit too eager...let the thing ease into it

Anyone know how to get a linothele in america? I cant find any and spidersworld doesnt ship lol

Come on dude! Care before content! I don’t think it’s right that you’re purposely putting the spider in a environment that causes it stress.

sus at 00:03

Is there maybe too much room in the enclosure? I have no experience with that species, just thinking out loud 😊

I believe the reason why your Linothele Megatheloides and M. Balfouri communal is not producing good web castles is because the branches or anchor points that you put in the enclosure are too slim and thin. You need thicker ones that they well be able to climb on interconnected on the enclosure. That will surely produce amazing web castles for sure.

Ngl dude, you're putting a sling in a huge enclosure and expecting it to feel safe and web. The first sling webbed because its enclosure is small enough that it feels comfortable. You've given the second sling a huge, bare space. Of course its going to spend all its time trying to hide it feels exposed. For someone so experienced im amazed you never considered this... **edits** spelling

Can you make more wolf spider videos?

How about you leave it alone, stop destroying its hides, it’ll start webbing when it feels like it. Why should the spider build a web on your schedule because of youtube..?

Awe Well Try Try Again. thanks so much for trying.. those spiders look creepy eeks .. thanks so much Petko..

Maybe if u put em in a smaller enclosure it would web up faster , she still small 🤷🏽‍♀️ love your videos 🗣❗️

I love how you spend time designing the enclosure and when you put the spider inside they web the entire surface

A for effort 🤣

I just found your channel by watching the video of you showing all of your collection. I have severe arachnophobia, lol. They are beautiful. You sir have a great personality & a hell of a collection!

No worries! Enjoyed your video! Should of put the little enclosure on top of the big enclosure and we could have watched both spiders!! Are you going to make the big enclosure look like Harry Potter again? That was a very cool look! Take care and God bless you and your family!

I really enjoyed this video. Shows how much time you put into your collection and how success happens sometimes. Thanks for posting and keep truckin.

I know you have cool video to make and everything, but here it wouldnt be what you want but what the spider wants? it wants a really cozzy home where it can hide and start webbing. You took it out of his/her cozzy home because it didnt do what you wanted, which is a bit sad because i dont think after 3 days of getting stressed out and his/her house being destroyed, will web up anything

It happens no sweat still got to see a cool spider.

Change "The Dark Den" into "The Dust Nest" 😆

your channel has seriously helped me become comfortable with spiders. i have such a new appreciation for them now! x

Petko can you get more scorpions. Or else i will send you a few 😆 Getting many new scorpions soon and i will breed some of them. I’ll send you a few in a few months if want some. The whether have to be more stable first cause i live in Sweden.

I finally joined Patreon (only to find out I already had an account.. but whatever🤣) anyway I am very happy to be a Patreon memeber of Dark Den now, because I love these videos!

You should add an ogar faced spider to your collection

Cant make the spider do what you want so i mean its not your fault. I thoroughly enjoy your videos!

Hey are you going to get another jumping spider as they are so cute and adorable

Just started my PLtoolss channel with spiders, gunpla, and world of warships how would you recommend I get seen more often

No worries! We love the videos no matter. You are a legend and we definitely see your hard work, regardless if the spider refuses to cooperate. We can expect that from these camera shy creatures 😂

I don't think it's ethical to deliberately stress your animals for the sake of a video. The Petko we grew to love would not want to do that.

You know what they say: never film with kids and animals :)

Still it’s a good video. 😊

Petko, have you thought about getting any Latrodectus mactans (Fabricius)? They live here natively in Arizona. I’ve been watching your channel for years sense DD1 and never seen one featured. Why not? They are great webbing spiders. I’ve caught them in jars and within an hour of catching them the start building webs. Just curious.

Animal Abuse...

So Harry Potter will change into The Mist. XD

The enclosure was so cool tho...

Spiders with performance anxiety. The one night you forget the camera is the night he does it.

Am I the only one that found this funny? The spider was like "NOPE IM NOT WEBBING SIR!" 😅😂😂

That was a fast little fella

Still a great video

I actually enjoy this very much I was laughing watching this spider out smarting you 🤣🤣

You need a GBB in there 😂

"Time Lapse" not "time laps" my brother.

I enjoyed it all the same.

No worries Petko, even fails can be entertaining

Honestly it was the first time I didn't like a video in this channel... Why create a HP themed enclosure with a cave and then cover the cave? Why rush the poor spider and stress her out for 3 days just to have a time-lapse of her webbing an enclosure that clearly is too big for her right now... I honestly think you should just open the cave again and let her be there as much as she wants or maybe find a new enclosure with less space without a hide and more anchor points

Yea, keep stressing it out mate & it'll be dead within the month. Add to that you're still not using a proper tub to transfer the spider between enclosures. You yourself said you have no idea how toxic it's bite is... this is where anyone would be especially careful..

Too obsessed with wanting to make the perfect video 😕 especially when given the opportunity to make the same video but with a smaller spider and space. Work with what you have instead of trying to force it.

while i still enjoyed the video as i love seeing your videos i think you should have left in the hide, i know thats not what you "wanted" to have happen with the enclosure but im sure given enough time it definitely still wouldve webbed the entire enclosure as time went on. i think it was a little too unrealistic to expect the spider to be able web that WHOLE enclosure overnight given a few weeks im sure it wouldve made an impressive web, and after a few months it wouldve been perfect but expecting it all at once is just unrealistic dude, looking forwaard to seeing if the enclosure gets brought back to its former design and looking forward for the next video

Something...

Yeah no bigs. Can't force nature.

I enjoyed it a 'tiny bit' ;) haha! Give yourself more credit petco, your videos are fun, educational, and I love your channel!

Honestly one of my favorite episodes for funny reasons. That spider is awesome, i love his attitude and how he runs away and wont cooperate... i love petkos reactions.. awesome!

Haha, poor Petko! It's a good video mate, don't worry about it :)

I remember that his previous colombian funnel web spider was just dirt in the enclosure..Hopefully it would've done something by Friday

Still very much enjoyed. Thank you!

Oh its such a shame spidey wasnt playing ball. One day it will happen!

Well that's one way to stress out ya spider

Evan though the spider didn’t show us lots of webs the video was really good I love you keep up the good work

It may to big of a enclosure or maybe it just got to have a meal might need to refill web still a awesome video ✌💖😁🕷🕸

I reckon you got a dud of a spider! Nuw Spiders name! (web-les)

I can feel your pain

I don't know if Eratigena atrica is a native spider in Croatia but imo they are super heavy webbers and you can even house a new one in the same web when they die (they ha e rather short lifespans. I have those spiders as pets for more than two years now and I have one enclosure, that was home for 4 Eratigenas and I never removed every webbing. So every new spider just webbed up the whole thing more and more and now there is a webmat, thats so thick, you cant even look through it anymore. The most fascinating thing is, although the spiders could hide under the web (it is webbed like a roof or so), they are sitting on top of it most of the time. Although I built a hide for the first inhabitant, it completely ignored it and started webbing up everything above. And all spiders who followed, did the same. Just one used the web to place her eggsacks underneath but thats all. So, if heavy webbers are needed, that are not just trying to hide anywhere, take Eratigena females. But nonetheless, you could at least record a funny clip, even if that wasnt the goal.

Petco, I think you should switch them... the little one is better at webbing than the big one. So try it out!!

I will be honest petko, it was super cruel to push him out of every hide it wanted to use. You need to let it feel safe, and it needs much more anchor points and a smaller enclosure. I do not aprove this, sorry, its just wrong

Don't rush the little guy for us viewers. We know you will get a sweet 🕸️ soon and we will enjoy watching it.

If its webbing itself in, mb its due a molt🤷‍♂️

This just shows you how difficult it can be! Still a good video! Keep em coming:)

Haha love it when the spider wins🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video,they always say don’t work with animals on tv

How much for you to build me a Harry Potter cage too

Really dislike the idea of removing multiple safe spots where spider feels safe and stressing it out just to get it to build more webbing.

It was funny and interesting. Same experience with Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens. They only web a lot when there is no hide. It means the spider/tarantula prefers to hide than to web. I think its energy saving. 🤓

Don't destroy the beautiful enclousure you made for her, please. Just let her do whatever she wants instead of trying to make her do what you want her to do and be patient! I feel that a few days need to pass until she starts webbing out of the hide/cave. As soon as you see webs appearing out of it then you can try that timelapse. We love your videos with or without timelapse, Petko. You show us these awesome animals and your wonderful projects, so don't worry bro

I would not have minded if the video was late for some cool webbing time laps Looking forward to update

It was kinda painful to watch, the spider was stressed. the whole incloseur needed to be different. :)

PETKO Even though the vlog didn’t go as planned still enjoyed your company👍🏽 Keep up with the good work!

the only thing that i can suggest if you can change your canopy cover to tinted acrylic it might work and temperature wise should be 80*c just the thought humid but dry give the specie trick to settle down i’m not expert 😎👍🏼love the set up

LINOTHELE!!! IT'S BACK!!! OMGOMGOMG

Probably have to wait till it’s older or something or put it in a different enclosure

love the second baby, she got such long spinerets its facked

Of course I enjoyed it. I love your videos, and because of you, I'm no longer afraid of spiders. I've even had some as pets and let some crawl on me, and enjoy watching them eat.

Don't give up. This concept is really good

This was strangely satisfying! Apparently for this spider every day is a April Fool's day, hilarious XD

Switch it with the other one

Is it wrong of me to have fun while petko is frustrated recording a time lapse?

I don't know if you'll see this but can we see all your woodlice/isopods and can you do a video talking about and showing how to care for them

You should have just left them to keep webbing for the 3 days. Once their bedroom is complete, they will expand out more, surely?

Poor little spiderman, so frustrated because of you.... Try 2 relax a little bit and you will see how much more there will come out!

We german speaker name this de showing effect :D

First time that I kinda didn’t like the video... just look at 9:00 and compare it to 14:30. As a Harry Potter fan I was really hoping you’d add another spider to it, maybe the one they based Aragog on.. But then you destroyed your coolest enclosure, didn’t let the spider settle in whatsoever and instead stressed it out for 3 days after an already stressful rehouse, because you had only your own goals in mind and not the well-being of the animal. This was so unlike you. I wish you would have just let the spider hide and get comfortable, maybe it would’ve come out the 2nd night to web, just imagine how cool it could’ve looked with the original design. And even if it didn’t you could’ve just made a quick feeding video for Monday instead. I hope you learned your lesson, that you can not force an animal like that to do something, and be less selfish and impatient from now on. See you on Friday!

I welcome u to another episode of Man Vs Animal. On the one side we have an frustated but still handsome Petko. On the other side we have Mr uncoorpative Spooder. With all honesty, dont feel bad about that not everything went according to plan, thats the RNG of natue. It was still a pretty cool monday upload.

Id say dont worry so much about getting a "successful" video, try to make creative stuff, but just talk about the obstacles that prevented your plans. You know, like disgruntled spider actors/actresses.

time lapse

He knew your game, and he wasn't playing.

It wanted to hide you should have just let it go. Let the spider be a spider!! I was sad you kept messing with it. I’ve been watching for years now but just got my first T’s in November (A T. albo and T. vagans) then December a friend gave me a Versi, then I bought a GBB and last Sunday I bought a Salmon Pink. All are slings. While I’m still not quite over my fear I have became very attached to them and now actually think they look amazing. You and your channel was a huge part of my decision over the last 3-4 years to try to overcome my fear and satisfy my fascination growing my knowledge and love for them.

I have been waiting so long for you to get that species back! I want one!!

It's okay petko I'm always enjoy your videos love it ! If the Harry Potter enclosure doesn't work why not try the other one with the hobbits theme with much of branch inside the enclosure or maybe next pet is black widow spider ? Keep up the great work and lot of love from Borneo.

I totally enjoyed watching the spider scoot around the enclosure not doing what you wanted it to do. Murphy's law.

put more branches in the middle and also less high than the others

I think its because the eclosure is very big for him. He doesnt feel safe where the othet one feels secure in the smaller enclosure

Hagrid is friends with the spiders, drop him in to have a chat with the spider for you 🤣
