Yeah, no one saw this coming. (Sarcasm.) this one disappointed me, dude. You knew better and yet you did it anyways. Disgusting. I’ve been following you a long time, but you just lost support from this one. You should be ashamed.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

What do you do to control the population so you don’t get too many?

try to clean the abdomen and the booklungs, i had the same problem with my geniculata and after the booklungs were clear she came out by herself. hope for you it wont happen agian tho.

She ate him because she was tired of chasing him.

Is there something hidden in the substrate? Maybe?

Should have left her be before freezing but not my tarantula 🤦

Thank you I own 9 now and I love them

love those new tools

You are such a caring creature keeper, I'm so glad you show when bad events happen it let's people who are considering the hobby know all sides. I am addicted to your channel you always cheer me up! 😂

lol the beardie

yo whats with that thumbnail?

Iv got my gigas in with a massive egg sac going to have a lot spare, would love you to have some ❤ would be handy once i send them to you if you could give my new channel a shout out

The head guy at the expo needs a lesson in professionalism

I'm sorry about the molt issue. You always do a great job, Petko. Thank you for creating great educational content as well.

Having two tarantulas have bad molts with water dishes doesnt = 100% disapprove that water dishes are helpful for tarantulas. That’s not how science works! I am sorry the tarantula molted poorly though. With any spiders that prefer to web the top of enclosures you should always get a front opening enclosure OR one that comes apart near the middle area (see jumping spider enclosures)

My pumpkin patch had a bad molt like this. She molted successfully but then it's like she failed to harden completely and her legs were bent strangely just like this. I kept her enclosure plenty humid and she had a water source. I also can't really explain what happened. I left her alone for a couple of days hoping she would sort herself out and recover but unfortunately she died 😔

I would say keep an eye on all of your animals. We did just have a very big solar storm hit us not long ago which might actually be around when this happened. After the night with the Auroras here in the states. I have a strange rash on my inner elbow, animals just last night went back to normal. Birds chirping at midnight as if it's 6am. Foxes roaming around in day light which could be a coincidence. They're healthy. The den is near my place. Regardless animals have been weird in general. And if I can find the spider outside my home again I believe it was a failed molt as well it was in the same position for a few days. I forgot to look for it today. I'm just saying. Be aware of any possibility in order to at least try and prevent the negatives

Rapture.

I say her name should be Lucy ❤😊

dude shut up and get on with the point of the video you are talking about stupid un related sht to much.

It feels like some people come here specifically to bash Petko and don't even watch the video. He very clearly mentions this T had a water dish in the first 2 minutes of the video, so obviously it wasn't the lack of water dish...

And this is why I don't watch your channel. Poor, spider, tou are careless 😢

I lost one of my slings to a bad molt it wasn’t a humidity issue it just happened. There was no rupture she just didn’t move her legs properly like they didn’t harden and they were just limb. Idk how it ended in a bad molt but unfortunately that’s the risk I really hate that it happened especially on my birthday.

Another bad molt from the guy who doesn't hydrate his tarantulas... What a surprise!

maybe the nervous system is damaged. :( idk but it just looks like the equivalent of spinal damage or something (I'm clearly not an expert lol)

ou nou!! is that mine tarantuly? :(

😂 started with 37 and ended with 9. I’d say they are not communal.

Amazing leaf insect, beautiful dude...

My apologies for criticizing your work area and how it was too small and dark. I saw the size of your office and was amazed. I always watch your new videos when they come out and learn quite a bit from four or five of spider enthusiasts. Thank you..

Not okay with this- not at all- hoarding is NOT OKAY- this happens toooooo much in this hobby when you have HUNDREDS! Breaks my heart bc of the MANY they die due to neglect bc one has over a hundred 😢

Everyone have the right to be surprised, the one who thinks differently would probably have kill it anyway or are afraid of them 😅

Here in 2024

what is actual humidity in room ?

@The Dark Den Great video, are the Springtails ok with slings, also if you are rehousing a spider, to a new enclosure, and the old enclosure has springtails in it what do you do ?

Mine is a younger spider and it's last molt was a problem. It had a problem with it's leg and finally it lost 3 legs and is coping well and I am hoping it's next molt will be ok, and it gets it's legs back 😢

So sorry.

that mist on your lens is fungus. you need to store your lenses in a dry place, or risk getting fungus inside. it's totally fixable tho, just take it to your nearest camera repair shop.

I can pick my own wife, back up!

I love your channel but this is why I will never keep more than 30 T’s, a hobby soon can turn into an obsession. I have time and with 27 it’s easy to maintain my enclosures. Everyone’s water is topped up daily when it’s hot weather, and all bowls washed weekly. I keep a damper side of ALL my enclosures too.

I've created a convenient filling system by making a ventilation hole where I can insert a needleless syringe to refill the water dish effortlessly

Any scorpion videos coming up?

Sorry for your loss, that’s a huge bummer for sure

You have to knock on the door 🚪 first

I have 30 Ts and snakes every evening I make sure they have water and have seen them drinking so many times. I don’t see why you can’t give them water in a bowl if you cannot provide this because you collection is to big then that’s the own fault It’s also no good having a water dish if it’s empty

Her enclosure doesn't have enough substrate. Tarantulas like to climb the walls sometimes. Maybe she had a fall prior to her molt and that caused the rupture.

U did time laps and got fresh cut😅

I’m sorry to go threw that I try water mines or mist it once a week

Thankyou Petko for showing these videos as well as the good ones. At least as a community we can maybe discover why these things happen from time to time and some of us can hopefully avoid the same issues . Great channel mate!

Sorry for your loss Petko 😢
