Maybe try giving her a soda cap full of water to drink from? She might not like drinking from the substrate and that's why she's getting dehydrated.
AliceGoneMad i don’t keep cups in any of my enclosures. They usually fill them up with substrate or cover them with web, and I got tired of digging them out. I just mist the web once in a while. I have seen one of my spiders actually drinking from a drop of water that landed on the wall
I always do this when I have problems with my tarantulas as well, it always works,
@@thereptiledude7247 better to be safe then sorry. Always offer a small dish for water, even if you gotta do extra work to clean out the dish. I'd rather have my T have available water dish then be lazy about it.
My thoughts too. The way he was talking sounds like he got her as an adult. He said she hasn't eaten since he's had her. Whoever kept her before may have provided a water dish and maybe that's what she's used to.
my pumpkin patch also has a water dish and i've seen her drink from it a few times also mine loves damp moss and has made her den out of it
That is why i think it's still better to have a water dish for the tarantula to have more options to drink
Absolutely I leave a water dish all the time was filled up water so that my tarantula can drink whenever she wants
Water Dishes!! Not all Tarantulas drink from the substrate/food🕷💦
I have the same species of tarantula and it drinks just fine from the substrate. I don't think he had the right substrate though because it's supposed to be a burrowing species.
I'll recommend what all the other comments are saying. Bottle cap full of water and leave it near her
I walk around my house saying "HUBBA HUBBA TIME" in your accent. I love your accent, and my daughter knows when I say hubba hubba time, it means spiders!
My three year old loves your videos as much as I do, Linda is her favourite aswell. She doesn't want to watch cars anymore, she wants spiders haha!
I never wanted her to be afraid and you really have helped me out in that! Especially since you don't always handle them, so she understands not to pick them up or touch them.
I'm sorry for your losses! I think its really unfortunate but a really wise decision to not keep the seldonias anymore.
I'm so sad that the hubba hubba time also resulted in fatality.
Poor bugger went from rejection to death pretty quickly.
We love you Petko!
@Alina McPherson how about fuck off? Especially just assuming like you know shit that you don't. You can't even fucking read shit properly.
My daughter knows hubba hubba time means spiders.
I'm actually really happy my daughter doesn't have a phobia of them and sees them for the beautiful and interesting creatures they are.
Also, CHILDREN ARE NOT ROBOTS. YOU DONT PROGRAM THEM.
She is three, do you think I'm as sick as your mind is? You're an absolute tool mate, if you're so worried for kids and "how they're being programed" go be productive about it where it needs doing.
Calling people fucking sick because their child thinks hubba hubba time means spiders, fuck outta here.
the second she jumped in, i feel like everyone watching was just "oh, no"
She didn't even give him a few second to woo her. Just pounced and RIP.
Female dwarf tarantulas tend to have big personalities.
Whether that be the bolty cheeky kind, or the how tf dare you step in here, so you have chosen death ?! Kind.
That's why I love them ❤
She took him down maaaad Tho. No struggle from him she got him in one perfect fast af move 👏😮
One of my N. Incei females were the same. She had moist sub and she even ate and still went in death curl, i then gave her a cap of water and help her to it, she drank it all, and bam good as new. A drinking spot is always a good idea and ive noticed it keeps the humidity inside the enclosures much longer with less risk of mold cause the sub doesnt need to be as damp to get to the right humidity %
Maybe the dehydrated tarantula needs a water cup in her enclosure?
Wtf yea she needs a water dish for sure like Exotic Lairs got water dishes in all his enclosures, Dark Den needs to make progress on this
James James these aren’t tarantulas in the wild, they’re tarantulas in captivity, which have been observed by countless owners to happily drink water from a dish.
@@idvdump Thought you said tarantulas aren't in the wild, was about to say uHHh, but yeah even if they can drink from substrate I'd prefer a dish over that or I'd be like a mom hovering over my tarantula, "DID YOU GET ENOUGH TO DRINK?" "do you need more???" "whY aREnt yOU driNkING".
"Maybe she will love him"
She sure did.
I'm sorry for you having so many losses and scary situations in such a short time. Hopefully things start looking up.
Smoll Chonk I tried not to laugh but I couldn’t hold it😂
Dang, right. Even I was bummed at that and really thinking we were being psyched out and that there really WAS a good part to the end.
This why I always include a waterdish, even (especially) for some of my smallest spiders. Without a waterdish I feel constantly worried that something like this may happen, where the spider maybe didnt drink from the droplets/substrate. Also, I have seen my spiders many many times drinking directly from the dish. Often directly after a molt, they just go straight to the water and start drinking, it´s kinda amazing to see that.
There isn’t water dishes in the wild. There has to be another issue going on…
It’s called a puddle. Also pools on leaves and on crevices in fresh greenery after rainfall.
Close to tears. Poor guy. And I do think that trapdoor species is hard to keep. Sorry Petko. Maybe a tiny water dish for the Hapalopus sp. columbia large. Getting moisture from the substrate or just humidity usually works, but I find some spiders just like an open water source - I think she may just prefer it that way, to the point that she'd rather dehydrate herself.
25 years ago I owned 1 tarantula, a B. Smithi. I took up this hobby 1 year ago and now I have around 90 tarantulas, addictive hobby... I wanna thank you because it was your videos that took me back to this amazing hobby, thank You!!
Yeah, I'd go with the water dishes now ..... rip little dude
Male: *heavy breathing* milady
Female: *runs for dear life*
DesiPanda674 this shit made me crackle 😐😂😂😂😂idek wtf crackling is but im for it lmfaooooooo
lmao XD
👀👀😆😂😂🤣🤣
another brave heart. Rest in peace, brother. you did your best.
WATER DISH. I can't tell you how many spiders I have watched drink from dishes
Noah Blades all of mine will only drink from a dish
Yeah same, even saw my versicolor sling. After refilling the waterdish and misting one corner, (s)he came out went straight down and drank for minutes. Cutest thing really.
@Anthony Pellham I so relate. I am actually an arachnophobe, but found spiders so fascinating as well. I currently own 5 tarantulas, mostly slings. It is still a challenge sometimes, taking care of them, but I really want to conquer my fear of spiders.
Agreed.
Absolutely! My B. Albopilosum drinks from her dish all the time, she always comes over after I change it to check it out and take a sip ☺️
give her water. she needs a water dish
Male: Hey my name is..
First Female Spider: Eww get away... *runs for it*
Male: Hey my na....
Second Female Spider: Arrrrhhh ???? Foooooooood!!! Come here!!!!! *munch*
This post pretty much describes my recent social life.......
Petko why the hell did you do a sexy time to be released on Friday the 13th. You should have known this would happen 🤣
I think the moisture is your issue with these tropical Ts from Brazil- try using moss to keep humidity up higher than you would for others. I wish I could get a Seldonia but I am in the US... 😑, but try keeping a water dish in the one who’s not eating, because she’s not getting water from her food. 😢
You might be able to get one from Palp friction.
Jasonian I was understanding that it is only same state sales allowed for this species. Is this not true?? I would buy one today...
@@ForApricity From what I've been told Seladonia has been grandfathered into the hobby now and is no more illegal than Grammastola's now due to captive bred specimens being more prominent than wild caught. Please dont quote me this is just what I've heard things can change.
Petko even if the videos don’t go as planned we still love to watch your videos and my fav part is hearing your excellent accent but seriously don’t stress too much about the videos,YES keep making them for us but NO do not worry about the content we love it all
WATER DISH.
Also, that communal set up does not look like it will last another molt.....
I absolutely love how compassionate you are! I hate spiders but I’m so intrigued by your videos! I look forward to them!
Yeah im not big on spiders either, but have been binge watching this channel, and another one called exotic lair.
Steven Tipton I found Dark Den by watching Exotics Lair!!! ❤️😆
@@christineschwericke9803 me too! I have a tiny bit less fear of spiders, now. I love watching both channels.
@@christineschwericke9803 lol,,, me too, like I said I'm not a big fan of spiders, but I respect them, but the love these people have for their little buddies is more than most humans have for one another.
Steven Tipton I COMPLETELY agree!!!
14:54 "Slowly... slooowwwwly..."
15:04 "LATER, LOSERS"
Wow, emotional roller coaster is right. I hope you are doing well with these RIPs. Thanks for the video.
"2x RIP"...ok I've only seen one
"Hubba hubba time"...ooooh here it comes
You have progressed so far since I started watching you so long ago ♡ I love you so much and your content always makes me smile
Try different types of food for her if you haven't tried already. 😊 She may just don't like roaches and would perfer a cricket or mealworm? I usually would prekill for mine if they don't feel like eating and leave it in there, and the next day it'll be gone. 😊 Water dishes would help with dehydration! I use bottle caps for my slings and Dwarf species. 😊 I hope she recovers soon! 💕 RIP lil T 😪🌸
Keep your head up Petko, things happen and you can't expect everything to go right. Just a few unlucky things, but that means better things to come!
You should always have a water dish in for any tarantula just because they might not drink much it's good to give them option
So... How do you manage to give a tarantula a water dish when they are slings, out of curiosity?
Or just use a bottle cap with some pebbles in the bottom just make sure you wash them well before you use them
@@Helveteshit Ts are covered in hydrophobic hairs, they don't break the surface tension and can't drown so giving them a bottle cap is a non issue
Mine have bottle caps from those tiny bottles from craft stores.
I give my half inch slings water caps and they drink out of them just fine, helve so?
Man, even though I will never be a keeper, I sure appreciate how beautiful your collection is. Gorgeous.
The metallicas are already so big... don't you think they need a bigger enclosure now?
That was the Saddest Outro I've ever heard you do.
Sorry for the strong of bad luck, but I'm glad you got the Interactions on Camera. Definetly Rare to see such Small species in the Wild
Keep your head up. Nature works in weird ways. Love the videos 👍
I LOVE how it is like he flawlessly talks. He just knows what he is going to say. There is no doubt or hesitation. Love this channel.
It could be impaction. It shows the same lethargic nature and premature death curl
Petko, I'm afraid Felix needs more more moisture.Perhaps you must check humidity in the new, and beautiful, dark den.
He still has the misting system over Felix, in the wild chameleons experience cycles in humidity throughout the day. In an open setup like his with a misting system, its actually closer to their natural environment than a closed off enclosure with constant humidity.
Although I agree that it would be worth while to monitor the humidity around his enclosure over the course of the day and vary the misting to best replicate natural conditions.
I always thought you needed to maintain a fairly high humidity at all times too. I don't know what climate this type of chameleon comes from though. Like in the tropics, yes there's cycles of humidity, but the relative humidity is always high, while indoors it usually doesn't get much over 60%.
as Felix's terrarium isnt closed, the loss of humidity is logic
@@Neolordzeal id imagine that hes done a lot of research ?
everytime he opens the door the room is getting dried off a little, the misting system might just be able to level this out, but not getting it humid enough for little Felix. Go think about some lamellas in front of the door.
We all have those weeks. Thank you for still sharing with us even though things aren't perfect. ❤
Oh the sadness. I was so excited to see that you had tried another Seladonia. I also couldn't wait to see it grow up. I totally understand not wanting to do them again until we know the secret to keeping them alive. Are other keepers just getting lucky or is there a specific reason they are successful? It hurts. And to know how much attention you paid for the best possible outcome. So sorry for your loss, both of them.
mannnn.... my condolences! but dont give up! you are a pioneer! we are all supporting you!
Wow! That was an up and down emotional ride. So sad at the end and for the death.
What a rough time for you Petko! I'm so sorry you're having such bad luck with your t-bebes right now. So much loss in the new Dark Den! :( Many virtual hugs to you. Things will get better!
When you said "being completely dead" I about died with laughter. lol! You're awesome and even though you are great with your english when you do have mess ups it just makes it better. Thanks for your hard work. You and multiple others are fantastic and the reason I now have so many ts. Awesome
Was going to say, I have a water dish for all my Ts. Especially if your going in there to mist all the time. Dish keeps water longer
Sorry for your loss.
Hope everything will get better soon, also with the sexy time.
Those dwarf T's are something else💝
Good video. Keep doing videos watching from Arizona
So sorry for your loss Petco😢 Better luck to come👍
Thank you for all you do Petko
Usually this species are not really into eating when there is light. I have one before and I just leave the roach in her enclosure and the next day it's gone.
I think you should move the Metallicas to a bigger enclosure sooner because they look pretty big for that tiny communal enclosure.
AGREE
He wont. He'll learn when they all start eating each other though. The fact he is using regular sized enclosures that he uses for 1 T, for 5 is absolutely insane
@@Screamingtilltheend Well Petkos never been an amazing keeper, he doesn't learn when spiders die. Bet he still won't give his ts water dishes after his pumpkin patch incident.
@@OfficialMuffiin Tbh he's just a CZcams keeper, gets whatever will get him views and doesnt house it appropriately. He has definitely declined in the last few years
what are these replies?? so rude and ignorant. the best way is to suggest, everyone in this hobby is still learning.
maybe a water cup in the dehydrated one's enclosure? at least until it eats... or try different type of food maybe it doesn't like the roaches
You seriously need to transfer P. metallicas in a bigger communal setup. And you should use a water dish in Hapalopus sp. Colombia large's enclosure.
still, big thanks to you petko for inspiring me and all other people on my country the philippines and the whole world, keep doin what you do best
love Lotsss
aww lots of hugs!!
That's the hard thing about having pets of any type... you do your best, but sometimes bad things happen, and it's always sad. All in all, though, having pets is worth it. 💗
How unfortunate...Good luck for the future!
This video was fantastic! Definitely a roller coaster but I couldnt help but laugh at the end 😆
You are an Amazing CZcamsr keep it up man 👌🏼
Bro have u done a mold test for the new dark den? Like check and see if the air quality is good and if there is any mold in that new building
Water dishes have saved my tarantulas. I had a T Gigas in a similar death curl situation. I moved her face into the water and the next morning she was 100% revived! From then on I kept her a water dish and she uses it. Some of my T’s fill them with substrate but I just throw it away and replace the soda bottle cap. My family saves them for me so I never have to clean them out. I also have some tattoo ink pots for tiny tiny T’s who can’t fit a bottle cap in their enclosure. It’s easy, convenient and helps create a failsafe from dehydration.
I've heard in regards to tarantulas, they meet most of their hydration needs via feedings. My best guess was that your Pumpkin Patch was dehydrated from refusing to eat, which is interesting in and of itself.
Thanks to i got ideas on how to take care of Ts!! I got my first brachypelma boehmei i bought last last week and today I'll get my cyriopagopus hainanum!! More love to this channel!
The dehydrated Hapalopus seems like there is maybe something wrong with it's abdomen? It looked on the video like it had web all over the bottom of it so maybe it had a bad molt, webbed up it's abdomen to fix the issue and now won't eat because of it? I don't know, all speculation. I've just never seen a tarantulas abdomen look like that before. Definitely keep us up to date because that's very interesting.
Oh Petko I'm so sorry. You look like you need a hug. I'll give you virtual hug! I hope your weekend goes better. Stay healthy and safe. Again I'm sorry that really sucks.
So sorry for your loss Petko. Im super sad you you :(
Give them water cup
My Heteroscodra maculata did the same thing. Didn’t eat for 6 months, drank water off the side of her enclosure and her water dish, molted twice without eating. I offered her every type of feeder I have and she took nothing. It was weird. She passed away a month ago and to this day I’m still confused.
I DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL TODAY IN QUARANTINE AND HAVE BEEN DOING NOTHING ALL DAY EXCEPT WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS I MET YOU TODAY AND I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BABIES
Poor guy just wasn't his day may we have a moment of silence please
Poor guy, he didnt deserve it. He was totally ready to deliver.
Everything should get better soon
Try using water/soda bottle caps as water dishes it works great
same thing happened with my pumpkin patch sp. large at the same exact molt size she passed away sadly good luck man
I'm sorry for your lost 😔😔🙏🙏
Usually I put a bottle cap with water in my hapalopus enclosures, and they just do it fine
My Borneo Black slink died two days ago. I’m not really sure what happened the only thing I can think of is the air in the enclosure became bad or maybe he died of stress. The slink was very plump when I pulled it out of the enclosure. I tried to feed it a day before it died and it seemed very spicy but refused food. The reason I think it died of stress was because I made a stupid error. I looked at a care sheet which I only do to find out if there arboreal or terrestrial I don’t take anything else from the care sheet. The care sheet said the species was terrestrial and I found out later it was actually arboreal. I designed its enclose for a terrestrial and it burrowed under the piece of cork bark I had in there. So I figured maybe since it couldn’t climb and was stuck in the ground it was just super stressed and died but I don’t know. If anyone knows about the Borneo Black species please let me know. I want to get another one but I want to make sure it survives this time. Sorry for the long comment.
Aw that sucks man but I think you should persevere with seladonias, they're one of my favourite species and even if you don't want to ever have a sling again you should totally keep your eye out for a more mature tarantula! (Or get a few slings)
That Machala is gorgeous 😍 Really sucks about the tiny guy 😭 I loved the coloring on it!
This week was just a depressing week...
Ohh ,poor little didn’t even have a chance to fall in love, bless him
Even if an enlosure is misted, some just need a waterdish, use bottle caps for smaller ones and little glasses for larger ones, look at Exotis lair for an idea
the spiders need water dish
I’m so sorry you had deal with all of this, this was rough
Ya- this was an emotional ROLLERCOASTER!!
Hello Darkden sorry about the spider he had a great life for sure nice to see felix and pesto amazing ..thanks so much darkden.....
you need to add a water dish, i kept a daddy long legs,a woodlouse,and a funnel spider...each one would walk up to the little plastic bottle cap i used for a water dish and dip there fangs down into the water, and if shes refusing to eat id suggest mashing up some bugs mix it in her water and she can get the nutrients needed that way
Aww, I hated seeing you so disappointed. That lil guy was super cute with his lil legs spread and waving... he was determined and wasnt scared at all. Poor guy, RIP. Take care Petko! Hopefully the next video will be a more cheerful one.
oh poor seladonia 😢 Martin at BirdspidersCH channel has really good info about seladonia care if you ever get another
also if you can put spiders to intensive care if you find them in bad condition and they will often recover. a small deli pot type container lined w/ moist paper towel and a water bowl put in a v warm environment (at least 30°) is good recovery conditions for stressed spider
For your one trantula that would not eat the cockroach you try giving it a superworm
I like to take a break from the worlds problems and come to the dark den.
Great video
Aww please don't get down, I never comment on things but I'm a reptile owner and there are highs and lows to any exotic pets. We take the highs as motivation to get through the tough days. Can't wait to see more !!
Exotic Lair has water cups for most if not all of his tarantula's, I think you should try doing that too.
Maybe a water dish would be better for the dehydrated spider.
What your hapalopus did is exactly what my GBB did a few months ago except my GBB was a sling and sadly never came back. Started refusing food i thought it was normal, molted continued thinking everything was okay and then after refusing food every week for 3 months my little guy just curled up and died. Kind of re-breaks my heart thinking on it and I go right back to blaming myself even though i'm almost positive my husbandry was damn near perfect. What makes it even more strange is he was a magnificent eater up until those last 3-4 months which just keeps a new keeper as myself kind of stuck.
So heartbreaking, Seladonia was so beautiful. I'm sorry hun.
Let’s all have a moment of silence 😔I’m sorry Petko. 🙏🏻
Damn what a hard video this time around. On a positive note I just went and bout my 7 year old son a pink toed tarantula. Me and him watch all your videos,he Absolutely love them as do I.
I usually spray water on the web where the spider is. And she always drank water
