Thanks for the video! Yeah I think the door design is a big yes or a big no for people, either love it or hate it. I personally love to have then attached so I don't need to mind where I place them, and it makes general maintenance easier, especially when you have a lot of enclosures to go through...but remoblvable lid definitely got its advantages. Maybe I should send you my glass enclosure to check it out :D

Petko is a legend 💯

I prefer Petko style over the original Tarantula crib style. I don't know how during feeding time I'm looking around for this thing or the other. I've got tongs, droppers, a bowl for dirty water dishes, a bowl for waste, two bottles of declorinated water, a cup, spray bottle and probably other things including the enclosures surrounding me on the floor. Plus keeping the cats and dogs away. Last thing I wanna do is possibly having to scramble for a clear nearly invisible lid.

I have this trio coming in the mail today! I wanted to support Petko since he's who got me into the hobby. I'm also still learning what I do and don't like so I guess we'll see how the hinges go! I definitely did want stackable, so that's a bonus.

Got my first tarantula 3 weeks ago, inspired by you.

Richard.... when you wear orange, your beard is camouflaged, and your head looks like it's floating. 😂

I love how you can talk good about a competitors product without being payed. It says a lot about the person you are. Being completely honest gives you credibility especially when you don't shy away from saying exactly what you think. Keep up the amazing work🙏🏼

11:52 ... she's oddly cute lol. Just a pile of legs. Thanks for making this video! It was great seeing how you build enclosures, and hearing your thoughts on what makes an enclosure case good.

Love your channel! I used to have tarantulas back in the dark ages, when info about them and proper care was not available. I'm getting back into it now. What I love about your channel is it is concise and you do your research. The past 3 months I've been watching, I have learned so much. Thank you! I recently acquired a young sexed female Tultocatl Alboilosum. I need a course on her. I have made a few mistakes rehoming her from her tiny enclosure from a reptile show. Thank you regarding your video about mistakes that owners make. She is fine for now. When I rehome her after she gets a little bigger, I am using your tips and tricks.. I do have questions, but the one thing I learned is not to stress over her enclosure.... She is eating good, and pretty chill. My first mistake was not putting it enough in her enclosure. I'm going to wait a bit before I redo it. I don't want to overstress her.. she is active at nigh rearranging and building up a burrow.. I have noticed that she is not building it up back in the corner part where the enclosure were the back and side is up against the dark wood.Thsnk you for what you do.

Glad he got a good review I love dark den. he who I started watching tarantula. Videos from. he makes awesome video. I like your videos too I just got to start liking them i will start to remember ✌️💖😃🕷

I love how you put different color sand it makes tarantula stand out. Can’t wait for coffee would like to get the pack.

I actually told off my local Petco about a few months ago,went back last week all Ts were properly labeled and in the correct environment/enclosure truely surprised me tbh

First off, don’t talk 💩 about Petko. 😉 Second, love his designs and the fact that they are stackable and use hinges instead of just magnets. Personally don’t trust a strong T pushing up on the magnets and becoming “bolty”. Favorite style of acrylic would be the slider cribs and would love to see a model that was a larger arboreal enclosure designed with a front slider and top slider similar to Petko’s DIY glass enclosure parts kit, so you have the security of sliding doors, and options for rehousing/ decorating that give you access to the whole enclosure, front and top.

Great reviews Richard 👍

Richard. I love you and your videos. Keep going, my obvious scottish/irish friend.

Haven’t seen your channel in awhile, doesn’t come up on my feed…,but place looks amazing ❤

I always enjoy your content. Since I have been watching your channel, my appreciation and understanding of tarantulas has increased. For a person who used to be terrified of spiders, I'm now looking at getting my first tarantula. I live in Western Australia, so I'm going to see what I can source locally. But, I reach out to you in the near future. Cheers mate.

When re housing my Brachypelma Boehmei I didn't have any leaf litter so I used sphagnum moss instead and my spider hated it. Looked like it was randomly kicking hairs when it never had before but when I looked closer it was kicking it off its feet.....it moved most of the moss into the hide I gave it and filled it in with dirt lol 😆

I have 3 of the "Arboreal" Petko/TCribs enclosures. I also have a ton of the different t cribs enclosures, sling, mini, mediums, larges, 3 diff sizes of coffins, switch, treehouse, round, square cubes, etc. Just saying that so if anyone reads this they will know I have experience with all rhe T cribs enclosure styles. This Perko style is not good enough as far as cross ventilation goes. Sometimes when I get tcribs they smell, it's the glue that holds them together. But after a rinse and a week of being aired out, its usually good enough. However, I had these for about a month, and the night before I used them, I closed the door and when I went to use them the next evening, they smelled of chemicals again. Not only that but there are no vent holes anywhere near the bottom half of the enclosure, the door, or the roof! So only the top 2 inches of the enclosure gets ventilation. I ended up drilling about 20 more holes throughout the enclosure. For example, on the switch enclosure and the treehouse enclosures they have air holes just above the substrate level which is where the sliding door is. These need the same thing. So, if you have a Dremel and have some tiny bits, go ahead and buy these, and make some extra holes on the bottom area ans and on the top. That's true cross ventilation, where air can come in throughout the entire enclosure, not just the top couple of inches on 3 sides. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I do like them, wven though they are thinner than the reg tarantula cribs acrylic.

I have the acrylic enclosure with the magnets that slide open at the top. Unfortunately, that sliding top panel gets scratched up. So I'm thinking that hinged top is not a bad idea.

Petko is the GOAT!! DARK DEN LIFE!!

Hello great video information and rehouseing Richard

Got into tarantulas recently because of this dudes vids. The ones from 3-4 years ago though. Seems a lil about he money rn. I get it . Appreciate all the help I did get

Very interesting. Thanks for the information of the Dark Den enclosures.

Deff pumped for the coffee drop

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, HES TALKING ABOUT PETKO THE KZfaqR, NOT PETCO THE STORE.

We have came a long way from the 10 gallon fish tank .👍

Can you pleaseeeee do a video on where u get the glass to make the enclosures (for a caribena if you can do it) I love your content so much ❤

Should have put the terrestrial and arboreal in the same enclosure....true Petko style 😂

Way too many people keep their tarantulas bone dry when they require humidity. Just something I've noticed in my YEARS of keeping them with zero losses from watering or lack there of.

Have you thought about making a tarantula collective flat hat. The tattoo logo on one of those hats would be dope

Can you do a video on orange baboon T slings as I get one next week plus loving your amazing channel and website.🎉🎉🎉

Great. I really need these enclosure types in South Africa I would love to understand more about the benefits of the moss though. I bought my first bag today but I dont really know what it's good for

I think it's great when multiple people I subscribe to interact. Especially when they're positive. Good luck with the American market Dark Den. Petko, can we use our Tarantula Kat discount for 10% off?

Petko 💪

I like the idea of swinging doors. Would the sliding doors hit the enclosure beside it.

Cool update. Thank you.

For-min-jo-kai-lus is how I've always pronounced it

Yea.... These "Trap Doors" are tricky... In an unforgivable accident, i've slammed the door in a panic reaction while rehousing an OBT.... The Spider bolted, i slammed the door and three legs of the Spiderling got severed. Thank got the spider made it and the legs completely grew back after three more molts, but it could have been the carapax or the abdomen that got hit by the door... But this was absolutely my fault and over all i like the enclosures from TheDarkDen very much. I wish he would start making bigger ones for full grown tarantulas and not only the spiderling-enclosures...

I know Petko made his own enclosures so they were accessible to people in his country, so I guess I was confused on the T. Cribs collab. Appreciate the honest review. Love Petko, but I dont think these enclosures are my cup of tea.

screws dont just strip out unless youre messing with them and unscrewing them time and time again so yea they wont strip out. rust? meh i doubt it. and i can agree with the door analysis. 9.4 out of 10 easy

I have one myself. Signed aswell

this is cool but they are the old design, Petko has changed/improved the design and as far as i am aware he has stoppped selling these, would be cool to see a review on the newer style habitats

Awesome Video Tarantula Collective 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I am just getting started in the hobby myself

i’ve been for someone to take make a video about these enclosures

nice alexa light flex lol

I have a few of his enclosures and the EU versions dont have screws in them. Thought that was a wierd change and i wonder why

No sand for the texture?

You do not ship the coffee to Italy, do you, man? I'd love that to brighten up my morning 😂

Those hinged doors are going to be the death of my tarantulas, since one clumsy move will swing the door shut and potentially squeeze the tarantula. And imagine that you open the fossorial enclosure from the top and the tarantula runs up to the lip underneath the open door. I shudder when I think about trying to get the tarantula away from the lip.

In my region(SE USA) within the archaeological field, we pronounce ochre as ‘oh-ker’ instead of ‘oh-Cher’. Not 100% sure it’s correct but it’s what I was taught by professors in the industry.

Dark den enclosures = great! Just like the channel!

Had one spiderling get away from crappy zilla, where's best place to look, I left out water in a container

I just got a Mexican Fire Leg this past weekend, and I was wondering if you would say that this is a good beginner species as this is my first tarantula?

Yeah i could see the green on her

How for instance can a South African get the gift box? How would they get the free tarantula😅?

Do you have any recommendations on good feeders? I know people say super worms aren’t good for primary feeders, and crickets can carry parasites. I don’t know any good places to buy dubia roaches and they Lowkey freak me out. I only have one tarantula who is a male aphonopelma chalcodes that hasn’t eaten since the day we got him a week ago

Nice video

buh buh buh buy

Petko slander will not be tolerated! 😤

like gift box do you ship to canada

More Sand, for Texture !!! };D

What's the latest discount code for T cribs

Oh wow that’s a pretty T

Haven't seen any of your videos in my feed for over a year, seems like you need to put more "dark den" in your video descriptions.. 🤣

12345

I was so excited when petko said he's gonna bring out enclosure with tarantula cribs because i live in germany and the shipping costs are un manageable for me if i would order directly from tarantula cribs. But i also really don't like switch doors on enclosures, i am way too fidgety and one time i nearly killed me T because of that. But otherwise they look really good 😊 oh and will the coffee be available world wide this time? 🥹😊

They're all overpriced. Build your own. On that note, petko is the man!

First

Junk

These enclosures look awesome, except they're not green..
