    Your setup petko is the best and most professional I’ve seen from a private animal keeper, extremely impressive and I love your work ethic and love for the animals!

    As a person with severe ADHD this video makes it crystal clear that I would be the absolute wrong person to maintain an animal room like this. To my ADHD brain the way you keep organized with so many details and so much to think of and check off is MAGIC. Absolutely fascinating to see!

    Man in remember you sitting on Ure Couch with just a few Tarantulas, now look at u, 2 full rooms of Animals and a strict routine to feed. Hope u still enjoy it and its not getting too much like a job and still is an hobby.

    I get memories for back then when dark den was only a section of your house/department and you make the videos sit on the grey sofa and you show us some of the animals updates.
    What a great evolution. I have a drop back whit my carnivorous plants but I’m planing to get back and this time, build a greenhouse so I can give them the best care posible as well to update videos.
    Greetings from Mexico man :)

      I remember this as well. This among some other video's i've seen today are the first ones i've seen in quite a long time. It probably has been 2-3 years if not longer since i last seen any of his vids. I'm quite the arachnophobic person, but i've taken quite an interest in them. Been thinking of starting my own collection with jumping spiders, which hopefully lead to tarantula's.

  • @reyruby7538
    @reyruby7538 Před rokem +1

    I'd honestly go crazy. Seriously, I would NEVER have the willpower to care for all these amazing animals. It's mental how much you care and do for all of them, especially the quality of the way you keep them. It's all just perfect. It looks like a fulltime job you have there, and I guess it's pretty much your fulltime job? The big difference is that it's all on you.
    You're a crazy man, and I love it. Keep it up, keep the motivation, I'm sure some days you just feel lost and empty, but you have an amazing hobby & an amazing talent for keeping all of this alive & happy.
    Just one question - What's your energy bill at the end of the month? I feel like it hurts.

    This is so awesome petko. Your system is basically exactly how it is at every zoo/ aquarium animal collection I’ve worked in. Also love the GoPro camera system you did in this video. I usually get motion sickness and this didn’t make me dizzy!! Ha

  • @blab1231

    I saw a youtube or two use a trick that I myself now use, I cut a plastic water bottle in half, except for a tab that can fold back and hold onto tank edge, then poke lots of holes in the bottom of the bottle. Then I hang it on tank edge and pour water in, and it doesn't make big splashes. Really helped me!

    Individually those types of animals like small reptiles and invertebrates don’t need much care, but collectively it seems that it takes a lot of organizing power and attention to detail for then.
