BUILDING an AWESOME central enclosure for my CHAMELEON 

Love the fact that this guy also uploads all the mistakes he makes. Makes it seem so much more genuine. Great set up..!

I think adding more branches would make it an even better enclosure and adding more plants gradually overtime. Great enclosure though, and a really cool idea.

I'd recommend putting something to cover the floor like a cut up piece of plastic or something. I feel after time it will stain the floor pretty harshly. Looks dope though

That time lapse was brilliant 😂

I like how he says “THE Felix” 😀

Needs a lot more leaves for cover on many of the higher branches

You should put a branch on the back wall above the door around 8ft, cover it in fake vines, and connect it to the chameleon home using a length of rope, so if he feels like really getting out the way, he can go up there to hide.

I love the moment at 4:32 where Mitsa is just chilling with the tree branch on top of her when it’s being chopped up.

Damn if I was an animal I would’ve wanted the dark den as my owner.

I have lost all sense of time and thought it was Tuesday. Didn’t expect a video today and now my day has been made! 😀💜

Felix is awesome and a credit to you, i would worry about him not having enough hiding spots up high where the heat is, especially when he is shy anyway, maybe as the plants grow they will add more coverage. But great idea and it looks awesome, wish i was as handy 😊

You gonna have problem with water damage on the floor if you dont have anything that prevents the water from reaching the floor

“sleepy sleepy time” 😂😂

Remember to repot plants once a year, as they use up the nutrients in their pots over time, they appreciate the attention as well.

I really like your video editing! I'm impressed by how cohesive your video is!

I really love this man for putting so some much hard work for his pets

What a great idea. I never knew you could keep chameleons open air like that. You should find some big rocks and put them at the base of the plants to hide the pots a little. Keeping them in the pots is a good move, tho.

“If you can see colors easily, you’ll be fine” killed me😂😂

It always amaze me how creative you are. You really give your all for your animals' comfort and this is delightful to see. Keep it up !

Okay this is really awesome I love how passionate you are.

Hey been watching for 3 months building my first enclosure and getting ready for my first spider haha thank you for getting me involved in this hobby

You are so industrious... Geez you never stop. Thumbs up. Awesome job Petko. I wish I had your energy... And your collection of tools would also help. Oh and your videos are never boring... I don't mind drilling and cutting.

What a BEAUTIFUL enclosure!

Killed me with the “it would be to boring” I would have enjoyed watching the build

I would ad some more plants on the top parts of the branches just so he doesnt feel too exposed. Great video man keep it up🔥👌

Great job and Felix looks super happy!

the time lapse was so good I loved seeing him in action! maybe some bendy vines across the tops of the branches would help him move side to side better

Your videos makes tough times better!

I love the longer video!! Great job on the enclosure!

It’s great to see Mitza again, that’s all that’s missing from the new, magical DD2! ❤️🦎🕷🕸🦂🐹🐸🦗

When I saw mitsa the cat I was like..... OMG YAYYY MISTA !!! 😁

I miss cappucino after seeing his enclosure :'l

Not boring at all ! Lots of good ideas, and it’s hilarious when your constructing stuff 💕

salute to you for doing all the work, from fixing/designing to editing your videos.

i dont know how i came to this video but i love it. OMG dude seems so genuine, and happy and place looks cool. good for you!!!! and holly molly it looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This might not be for everyone, but I actually really enjoy watching you build things. I am guilty for not knowing the electrical wires and stuff, so you taught me something there! THANK YOU! I am one of those DIY people who just finds enjoyment watching people build things and talking about it through the process. So I hope you don't feel bad if that's all you are doing! Its ok! Thank you for going with the process! It was also really nice to see Mica again!

Suggestion from a previous Swedish Electricians, aka EU. It is a good rule of thumb to place your earth wire in-between Neutral and Phase. Just as a layer of safety, if anything happens. Your RCD, at least I hope your building has it. Will smack off. Alternatively, you can buy one for a socket, that has lower tolerance. 10mA instead of 30mA. It basically detects if the current takes another way, than it should. The next thing is, that LED 'panel' is of metal, aye? You might want to earth that. Just in case it for what ever reason gets current. Nobody can touch it and get a jolt. Switching current can ruin nerves, so it is not really just a 'harmless jolt'. It might not appear till 30-40 years later when the body degenerate. Anyhow, that is just my words on the topic. Bit of nitpicky, but Swedish Electrical practice is quite nitpicky in general.

You are an amazing person. It is so awesome that you are willing to go above and beyond for your pets. Also, thanks for another amazing video.

This is so awesome! At first I was confused because I thought he could just escape but then I watched this and now I understand

looks amazing and so natural

5:08 It's so funny Mica actually can sleep aside while he's drilling and cutting such loudly

I throughly enjoy your time jumps!

WOW beautiful enclosure and beautiful chameleon.

I love how well he treats his animals

We NEED a part 2!! Felix is too cool

Seeing all of cappuccinos old stuff breaks my heart

That timelapse was very awesome. Very cool to watch slow animals move so much. Very very awesome build!!!!.

This was one of the best builds I've seen on RU-vid regarding anything! Wow just wow

Love watching the time-lapse

That time lapse was dope

So nice to see Mitza again 😍

On the timejump back to the new old dark den i was expecting a " look who it is" every second to see cappucion one last time.

Excellent!! Happy Home change Felix. Feel ther love.

13:00 those glass panels is a smart idea, to easily remove when needed, will be easy for cleaning. This is the best concept, I like the fact you can see the chameleon perfectly clear without a cage. Nice that you put a camera to see the chameleon.

Awesome Petko! The time lapse did make me chuckle ☺️☺️ felix is just fabulous!

It's beautiful! You have such lucky pets!

You and exotic lair are the only two I watch on any kind of reptiles and bugs

I love the Felix time lapse!

Your Chameleon earned our subscribe! He is so cute!!

Man love what you did to that enclosure and what a beautiful chameleon love the colors on him great job

Good looking enclosure...you are always so creative!

Loving that time lapse, great centrepiece, and some super video too. Love the way you're encouraging him to come out into the open.

Love this! His enclosure is beautiful! It was great to see Mitza again! I'm excited to see how Felix does!

Thank you so much for your tutorials. My Albopelmaism bolted out of his enclosure, thanks to you I didnt panic, I got a Catch cup and put him back in, thank you so much. He is a mature male and fell backwards trying to pounce on a cricket, So I thought he was weak. But still has energy. Can't thank you enough.

You are doing such an amazing job on season 3, congrats Petko!

Loved this one bud! The time lapse of the chameleon exploring was very intriguing. You don’t see much content like that. Plus the video as a whole was very fun to watch, an enclosure like that is epic.

If you're making another particle board base with a hole, you should cover the edges of the hole and surrounding area with hot glue. It's cheap, water proof, and can be applied precisely even in small areas.

that timelapse was excellent, you can really see his curiosity!

Love the new build its nice to see an enclosure that really replicates being out in the wild for an animal, definitely an original awesome idea

That time lapse was awesome! So interesting to see how Felix explored the new set up

Loooooved this video!! Thank you for sharing!!

"Am i Bright??" *looks directly into Lights* "Ooof"

It's amazing, wonderful job!

Seeing mitsa in this video made my day that much better

Amazing vid... couldn’t ask for better😊😊

This is so cute, i loved the music u put to his exploration

Thats so cool! Feel like he needs more plants/leaves higher on the branches

Just joined the Patreon, keep with these awesome vids! Love all the animals

Maybe add ivy or pothos to the branches to give him something extra to climb on? They're really easy plants to grow and wrap around things so it might help give him something to cover the top branches and you can always cut it back if it gets to high, just a suggestion, the video was great

The coco fiber chunk flooring is great, don't sweat it Petko.

Wow I had an idea to build something just like this like 15 years ago, but I was a kid and never made it happen. First time I’ve seen somebody actually do it. Looks great man props!

He’s so cute!! His new enclosure is awesome

Dude that's genius with the wooden dowels

Absolutely brilliant done! I love Felix his new enclosure. And it was surprisingly nice to see Mitza in your 'old' video and to hear our so beloved 'poopuccino' interupting your video. I miss them both!

Yay A Dark Den video!!! Felix got his enclosure finally!! It was so nice seeing Mitza and so sad seeing Cappuccino enclosure. Thank you for making my day Petko!!!

If that's a DHP bulb it really helps to have some dark rocks under it to absorb and hold the heat. A basking platform would look great there, and I love the build!

It looks fantastic! If I was Felix, I'd be very happy! I'm so glad that you're thinking outside of the typical chameleon enclosures, more people need to do this as well! Ciao Felix!

Felix! My favorite mischievous boy! That enclosure looks fantastic! I bet he loves it!

I love that, beautiful setup

Really nice enclosure :) Nice to see Mitsa too !

I really enjoyed this video! Actually I like all of your videos! lol much love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️

Very much a handy man so creative

What an amazing enclosure!!!! 😍😍😍

Looks really great and l am sure he will settle and really enjoy it, a really wonderful idea for him.

Looks great! As others have mentioned, I would add more cover for him near his heat spots. You want that to be his most comfortable place and to able to be there with the heat in cover should do the trick. I would also put something down on the floor like plastic or something so that moisture, etc, won't ruin/stain the floor over time. Plus it would make for easy cleanup if necessary.

got my shirt and its amazing thank you mr dark den keep up the good work!!

I think you did an incredible job man !!! So cool

Mitza! She's too cute. On another note, Felix and all of your critters are well cared for. Good job, Petko.

Felixs’ new home is looking so good 😊 maybe some more leaves on the top branches would help him be less nervous? Nice job Petko 👍 He is so adorable I’m looking forward to seeing more of Felix in upcoming videos- his little grumpy face makes me laugh 😂

Pond paint.... pond armor is one that's popular here across the pond in the U.S., but there are also alternatives like acrylic, silicone & rubber cement that can provide a good water proof shielding for your particle board (don't forget to coat any holes made in the board(s)). I love seeing DIY projects.
