    Let this be the new standard on animal keeping! No more 'minimum size' as you see in most (American) YT care videos, but instead 'make it as big and glorious as you can'. 10/10 would watch!

    Your golden pothos was also growing larger at the back because the aerial roots we’re growing into the wall. When the leaves have more support they will get larger. They get enormous in the wild, much bigger then dinner plates.

    Pothos can be huuuge in the wild, and easily reach a meter or more. But under terrarium conditions it'll stay "relatively small" for such a giant plant. Heck, my small 30x30x45 cm terrarium produces so much pothos I can make a potted plant from it once every month just by pruning it.

    I do love what you do with your enclosures. I wish you could film a boring tour with no real action and no need for narration. I know you can't because the silly CZcams Algorithm would hit you hard. You really have some great stuff. Maybe another channel "Dark Den's lost files" where you just post and no need to worry about hitting your main channel. I'm full of ideas but implemtion is not my thing.

    As beautiful as this enclosure is, and as excited as I am to see how it does, be careful about using cow isopods in there! They're a species that requiere a higher protein intake than other isopod species, and I know some people who have had issues with them nibbling on the residents of enclosures, especially slow moving animals (such as chameleons, or molting tarantulas)
    The best tip I have is to sometimes put a tiny bit of meat in a corner so they can nibble on it and get enough proteins owo)b

Some mourning geckos would be cool in there and if she got one it wouldn't be a big deal since they breed so easily.

    • @notnathan8985
      @notnathan8985 Před 10 měsíci

      I think cause a terrestrial and fossorial would be to close to each other because terrestrials burrow as well and fossorials would also come out of theyre burrow but i think it could be possible if you can some how for them to make an burrow/hide at opposite sides of the enclosure

    Petko that enclosure is way too high for a theraphosa apophsis or any big bodied tarantula if they were too fall from that height they would never survive the fall there abdomen would rupture straight away bonnatinas enclosure is absolutely perfect for a theraphosa species ideally you want a 60cm length 45cm width and 30cm height maybe push the height up too 45cm so that she's got more room too burrow but that green tree monitor enclosure is way too big mate make an enclosure exactly the same as bonnatinas that would be perfect 🙂

    I don't know about mixed species communal tarantula enclosure, but IMO the best and safest species would be Socotra island blue baboon tarantula (Monocentropus balfouri). This species are fair less likely to eat each other (both adult and young) and as they breed and grow in numbers, they will brake into cluster groups and use all the enclosure at different levels, and you already have a starter group, just need to add new males now and then.
