Yeah, you can tell he really enjoys and loves his Animals. I do watch his videos off and on, but I swear KZread unsubscribes or something because when I looked I wasn’t subscribed.But I have been watching his videos for almost 2 years now. Some of the best content on youtube. ❤️

Like many people have stated before me, I don't think your videos are repetitive or monotonous. In fact, I always look forward to your Monday and Friday uploads. I understand your decision, though. In the end, you've gotta do what you feel is right and what makes you happy! See you on Monday!

totally agree with you!

Would really like to see some single-species deep dives. Less general feeding, but like a full, comprehensive guide each species, new, old and otherwise. It really benefits keepers who want to look up their individual species, as well as keepers interested in a new species. The old videos on the Poecilotheria genus were great and somewhat in that vein, but instead of focusing on feeding, maybe show some life stages, behavior, and other changes over time.

I agree with the the majority of the other comments...... I am always extra excited every monday and friday to see what's going on in the dark den. It doesn't have to be something new or different; just getting updates on the animals that you have already shown is awesome! With that said, you certainly have to do what's best for you and your channel. However, I just wanted to voice that we love the content that you put out!

You introduced me into the hobby back in 2019 and now I am sitting here with multiple T's. I would love to see new kind of content, but the normal stuff is also absolutely okay. Maybe an extra channel for uncut content with your daily routines in the example of exotics lair? I would be interested in that too . Keep up with your great work petko👍

Are ya feelin it now, Mr Krabs? I see Mr Krabs partied till he's purple at the Goofy Goober. If you're looking for another frog species to keep, get another dart frog species, like some Phyllobates terribilis frogs. It would be pretty cool to keep the most toxic creature on the planet (in the wild one milligram of terribilis poison is enough to kill about ten THOUSAND mice; though they're luckily harmless in captivity). Also they love to call so you will hear them often

can you do a time lapse of them, i am curious how they move around the enclosure. good content for the second channel. And less updates isn't bad, making up for good videos with one great video in a reasonable time span is fine by me. Also seeing that stag beetle makes me think that you don't really have any beetles.

I remember when you went from Monday, Wednesday, Friday to just Monday and Friday. That decision made sense, and this one does too. You've come a really long way in the past few years and I appreciate the effort you put into your projects and videos. I'm excited to see what you come out with. Several years ago I came across you rehousing a GBB back in season 1 and that video is what got me into spiders. Now I have several!

Absolutely love your channel, from the beginning all the way to now. Thanks for the videos 😊

I look forward to all of your uploads the content is great I love seeing all your animals grow and change you could dive so deep into your keeping experience and studies but we all respect your time and choices and are very lucky to have your videos!!!

Because many of us never get to see tarantulas, even time lapse of one in its enclosure is entertaining, what's boring for you is not for us. Maybe consider setting up a different enclosure for your crabs, that has more beach and less hiding spots. One of my local aquarium stores has a set up like this and the crabs climb the driftwood and individual rocks you get a nice look at them in and out of the water. Or you could start singing and make music videos like Ants Canada, pretty sure that would not be boring.

Quality is always better than quantity. I always hoped that you would do bigger enclosures and more variety in animal species so im very excited to see how the dark den gets to the next level.

I enjoy all the content as it is. Especially the feeding videos and updates on the animals. I am disappointed that the amount of videos will be reduced. I get that people enjoy the enclosure build videos but for me it is the animals and their care that is the best part of your channel. Certainly it is not repetitive or boring as you consider it to be currently. It is informative and helps to share the relationship and life of the animals in your care. ❤️

Your content is fantastic.... the fact that you're not willing to put up "filler content" speaks volumes and is appreciated. I really enjoy your building projects, they are most definitely worth waiting for.👍

My favourite videos are rehousing unboxing and updates. It's a shame your stopping but I hope we get longer videos still with the same stuff. Can't wait for a Linda rehouse and more new animals 😍

What a cool enclosure. It looks so serene.

You have made this space BEAUTIFUL! What a great job you did.

Been waiting for the vampires! Thank you for sharing :)

Love your updates. Even if it seems repetitive to you we love seeing the feeding and rehouse videos. ❤️❤️❤️

i support your decision! alltho it is never boring for me. i like all of your videos. you could update your Tarantula starter guide or even do multiple for each category. terrestrial, arboreal, new world and old world. some quick but informative guides so new owners can look specifically for guides or "how to's" maybe talk about some do's and dont in terms of tarantulas / scorpions / enclosure building. there's so much content i'd like to watch from you haha. out of all Tarantula youtubers, you're my favourite. i like your editing style, your charisma. you're a cool dude! keep up the good work :)

Love the frogs and crabs enclosures!! ❤❤❤

Maybe a small species of Triops? Should do the same thing shrimps do...

Hello Petko. Your enclosure collection is so amazing!!

Thankyou so much for listening to our request. Petko❤

Well, seems like i finally have a good reason to start rewatching from your first video - every wednesday and friday - just to keep up the weekly petko cap.

Nature vids rock too, drone vids are fun

Absolutely gutted your not doing 2 videos a week! I really look forward to the start and end of the week just to watch the dark den! But totally understand why your reducing to 1 video a week. Just hope you don’t lose any subscribers because of it. I’m definitely here for the long run. I had arachnophobia before watching your channel and now I have my very first tarantula! I have a nhandu chromatus who my partner (who still hates spiders) has called Bob, “Bob the Brazilian”. Thanks so much for inadvertently curing my phobia and giving me a new appreciation and love for spiders.

The Vampire crab enclosure is so pretty! Its probably my favorite one

This guy is hilarious! He always makes me laugh. I love the vampire crabs!

i agree with your update on your update schedule 100% high quality content is so much better than weekly videos of samey content

Duuuude if it's just looking at you staring at a tarantula is enough content for me we just love your videos

awesome video!

Making the decision to only upload once a week makes these videos even more special. Something to look forward to even more than before. I remember when you did three times a week.

Understand what your saying Petco but we dig the "filler clips" hope you maybe do a Friday clip every now and again lol. Hope you and your wife are doing well amigo 👍.

Look forward to seeing you Monday and Fridays

Gutted as I love and look forward to your videos even if it’s just feeding videos, but you have to enjoy it as well so absolutely do what’s best for you 🖤

Vampire crabs are extremely fragile because they are wild caught, and don’t ship well. At least that’s what I’ve gathered from my experience with keeping them. They often die off quite quickly since getting them, and then if they survive for a few weeks they’ll generally live out the rest of their lives so long as the conditions are right.

I’m always up for Felix and Despacito content - they are the sweetest guys! 💚

YES!

The enclosures looking so good. The crabs are cool too shame they are so shy though!

8:03 Ohh my heart! I just came to watch your videos happly and them... But i didn't expect for that :´( kkkk Love your content man, shout out from Brasil and see you Monday? (:

Man Ive been subscribed to you for over 3-4 years. I’m glad you are taking time to do bigger things. We will still watch even if you upload once a week. We are all just super fascinated with what you do!

Can't say I'm not sad about only one upload a week but I totally understand you need a break. But I you think where tired of the same thing I personally can say I'm not I have only been subscribed since this year but I've gone and watched so many of you're videos. I have jumping spiders and that's how I found you and recently I got my very first two tarantulas and now two more on the way.

I love these crabs! Really want to get some.

idea! you could set a camera on the crabs to record over night to see them eat and what they do at night!

Svaka čast

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE CRABS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As long as you don't stop doing what you doing the true fans will always watch going to miss Fridays videos

Tarantula kat has baby jumping spiders xx

For frogs id say you should get either a whites tree frog or red eyed tree frog. Whutes tree frogs have a lot of personality and are pretty chill with handling or just hanging out. Red eyed tree frogs are very pretty

Im a little bit sad, just one video per week... But bigger projects? Awesome! It is always a pleasure to watch you!

Oohh they're gorgeous!

Red eyed tree frogs!! I’ve got 2 and the are great. They co habit with my vampire crabs and it’s great to watch 😊 also I added a day gecko (after speaking to my local shop) and she is a great addition 👍🏻

Those little white centipedes are called garden symphylans. (Scutigerella Immaculata) harmless to other animals but the are known for being dangerous to gardens (thus the name). Not sure if they pose a threat to the plants in the enclosure. Perhaps they are just eating the algae, but I provided the proper name so you can look them up yourself if you'd like.

Petko do you! We are along for the ride!

Do what you need to do. We are here regardless. Love the content. Fan from the very beginning. ❤️❤️👍👍👍

Happy evening to you all

I have been thinking that there is very little information about the Linothele megatheloides out there. Since you have/had it, I think it would be great if you dedicated a video to it, how it behaves, how to take care of it and your experience with it. I think it would help a lot in making this spider and its care a little more known. Big hug from Spain, thanks for the content, always great stuff.

do whatever feels right for you! don't worry about people complaining, everyone's work turns out better if we're happy and excited about it. if making some changes is what you want: do it!!! no one likes to do the exact same thing forever

I support you in doing what you gotta do, and you definitely deserve the chance to change gears and and create in ways that are more fulfilling to you :) That said, also remember that while it might be 'the same old content' to you, that's why a lot of us like it. I will never ever ever keep tarantulas or spiders or anything you keep, but I like listening to your voice, hearing you talk about your animals, and seeing the familiar rhythms of animal care. It's relaxing. But, like I said, do things that are fulfilling to you :)

Guppies would be a good fit for your vampire crab enclosure. They are hearty enough to withstand multitudes of circumstances.

i think those 2 died because the space is too small and they can be territorial when crowded. also there's not much vertical space of sands for them to dig in, so they may be stressed out

Well hearing you are going to only upload on Mondays is a bummer. I've been watching for a bit and always look forward to the next upload.

I love the idea of seeing what you’d do with betta setups! I have 7 currently and love them... some are in with my nano tropical fish in large planted tanks with shrimp and rabbit snails. The ecology in some of these tanks keeps me fascinated for hours! As long as your passionate about what your doing then the rest will come easy. Burnout happens and I bet your content will be more awesome for doing less of them.

Only Mondays. There are no more good days, just days. 😔

WE Love What Ever you do... we just love your videos. yes jumping spider woohoo i see orb spider on safari live they are big spiders .. awww no friday ... videos darn...look forward to Linda build...the bug scares me omg

If you are bored yourself I totally understand not wanting to keep posting those "regular videos". However, for those of us who are not able to keep tarantulas, the regular feeding and breeding videos are absolutely amazing, even if we have seen them a million times. They are always different in their own way and I know we would all love to keep watching them. Super sad to hear it's down to one video a week. Can't wait to see what is next in store for The Dark Den regardless though.

you might consider redesigning the crab enclosure

I'd be careful - next life you might be a starving lizard and your keeper might click his tweezers and not give you a bug.

True humans will understand. Thanks for all the enjoyable content and work u put in these videos!

I personally love the "filler" content, seeing feeding videos and stuff is always welcome to me but I understand it from your point to why you're stopping friday vids x3
