A Bio Dude Update and Retail Outlet/Warehouse Tour Feb 2018

[@amandaverma7283]

I said this a few months ago when I discovered your videos and I'm gonna say it again..... I am just absolutely blown away by your work ethic, knowledge and presence.... You are doing such an amazing thing for the reptile and amphibian hobby! It is so desperately needed, they have got to be most misunderstood and poorly cared for pets in the industry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@JakeHockley]

You don’t even know how excited I am to get your products over here in the U.K! I want to use your products so badly and I want to support your amazing business!

[@ayyylma0]

Seconded.

[@ianation]

thirded haha

[@sambphillips959]

Fourthed.

[@jovanvilla7454]

I know your busy guy but if you can ever do more setup videos as well as the care for your animals. Love your product dude. I’ve been searching for ways to make desert setups and I’ve finally found it.

[@kailynnkkexotics8999]

Jovan Villa absolutely agree! I have a Uromastyx and I feel that the appropriate desert habitat knowledge is really lacking in this field. The Dude definitely has by far the best setup for desert Vivaria I have seen yet!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

More videos are int he works!

[@kailynnkkexotics8999]

So glad to see your business growing so quickly! I think the absolute coolest thing is being able to see what our support in purchasing your products is doing for the growth of your business. Looks great!

[@jchen3]

really enjoyed the tour I got last week. Very impressive setups. Loved all of them.

[@werewolfsnack3504]

Hell yes!! I was so happy with my ball python kit. I love watching your videos and seeing how you’ve been progressed! I love supporting small businesses with a dope product! Keep it up!! 🐍🐍🐍

[@theowias3]

I'm just now getting into vivariums and terrariums and I am very impressed with your videos. Your warehouse is very clean and organized. very impressive. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing!

[@tristanburnham8937]

You should do a terrarium setup for a firebelly newt/toad

[@patheticsteam1454]

You should do a bioactive setup video for blue tongue skinks

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

That is coming soon!

[@cccrit]

Great video josh, very impressed with the production of the video as well as the quality of your craft. Well done!

[@Lucidesmond]

Thank you for everything you do!

[@jaxon4128]

Would you ever consider selling grasses for vivariums?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We will have more plants soon when we get more space!

[@sydneyjohnson6254]

Can't wait to get my bioactive kit for my dart frogs! It should be here tomorrow and thanks to your amazing videos I am beyond prepared for my first bioactive set up!!!!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey Sydney, we appreciate your business and are excited for you to build your bio-active setup!

[@lisalynn1]

I'm excited for the plant bio's.

[@bryantcreech7423]

I have been flirting with the idea of going bioactive for my rainbow boa and now that I know your only a hour and a half away I'm definitely going to have to come down there and get set up.

[@GenerationalGeckos]

Awesome Josh, I’ve been rocking your shirt out here where I’m at, love what your doing, and the videos and what your about. Have a great day.

[@dylan-5287]

Dang this is interesting, I've got most of these ingredients around my home and local parks. Cork bark, different soil types, oak leaves, magnolia leaves, palm bark, sphagnum moss. Almost thinking I might start selling my own bioactive kits, been researching it for a while and I know the ins and outs. I really just need the lights off ebay. Already got multiple springtail and isopod cultures growing strong. Thank you for all the information Josh!

[@HudsonFW]

You should make a setup with some Nepenthes (Carnivorous Asian Pitcher Plants) or some Heliamphora heterodoxa (South American Pitcher Plants.) I think they would look really cool with a tropical setup of some type. The bugs will feed both the plants and reptiles. Obviously the reptile would have to be big enough to not fall into the traps. If you want a trust able website/seller i know one that grows all of there carnivorous plants in Oregon that i've visited and purchased before.

[@MarleyPeifer]

Cool idea! I have been thinking on the same lines and recently added a Nepenthes to one of my bioactive setups! I want to do more but they are pricey and slow growing!

[@charlesfaulkner8653]

Your tanks are absolutely gorgeous.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thank you very much :)

[@HUNTENMASTA1337]

hey dude where do you get those 66 gallons? the one you have your tree skinks in

[@utsuriman]

DETERMINED You Are!! Nice Work! Movin Along>> GREAT!!

[@masteraim737]

Man you are really living my dream

[@ChuckHorneTheLizardRoom]

Love the Knight Anoles.....my all time favorite lizards!

[@maxraddatz8420]

Getting some of your stuff for my bearded dragain it all awsome

[@lionman6110]

Are you finding the bioshot breaks down the animal waste as well as the live critters?

[@davidwexler7262]

Can you make a video on a DIY bioactive substrate? I know that will give away your business but it doesn't need to be that high quality but rather just something to fill some space in your enclosure if you didn't order enough?

[@NvyDecals]

Josh you should do a corn snake terrarium setup

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey there, I do have a setup video for a corn snake, check it out!

[@NvyDecals]

Where is it ?

[@dstrickler20]

I want that bromeliad

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Are the full Ball Python kits now going to include Bio Shot instead of the springtails and Isopods?

[@nicksexotics5229]

Get your products to Ireland too please ! Absolutely amazing

[@titus4166]

He has great work ethic and seems like a nice guy. He’s also super cute! lol!

[@noedeleon7203]

I have question how big would my tank have to be for a leopard gecko?.. also what are the dimensions for the exo terra you have for your gecko

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hi Noe. My gecko is in a 24x18x18 and is doing great!

[@lessliejohnson5684]

going to have to order more stuff Dudeabides..

[@masonhennessy6280]

Do you send your supplies to Australia?? Just wondering because I’m interested but i live in Australia 😔

[@masonhennessy6280]

Like do you ship them to Australia

[@nathanbeverly7347]

From the UK here did you get your terra fauna to the UK?

[@akiko2096]

How do you keep from being infested with mites with all this wood? How do you avoid them getting into everything you sell? Just wondering because I had trouble with them before and they are horrible.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I completely understand! All of my wood (with exception of the RFL) is 100% heat and pressure treated to ensure no hitchhikers show up. The wood is not in my possession long enough to have issues if that makes sense.

[@jdandkikisExotics]

im getting me a 18x18x24 for a green anole i hate seeing them in 10 gallons or 12x12x18

[@axlludwig]

Love your stuff man and your energy! Do you send stuff to Sweden for example? Cheers / Axl (from Sweden)

[@scottdonald2116]

would like to see set up for geko if you could be very greatfull

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hi Archangel. We have a Crested Gecko set up here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmGpc4CBqtuXiZo

[@luisrosado1448]

CAN U DO A GREEN TREE PYTHON SET UP PLEASE.

[@TJ-hr9op]

Keep up the great work!

[@cynthiastack8874]

Are the feeder insects bred my you?

[@adamludwig159]

Have you considered partnering up and opening locations in other parts of the US to cut down on shipping costs? Would love to buy a kit up here in Pennsylvania, but over $100 in shipping???

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We are working on growing the brand organically, I have stared selling to many brick and mortar stores. We try to keep shipping down, but unfortunately I don't control the cost - Fed Ex does.

[@adamludwig159]

@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter I totally understand the shipping charge. Do any stores sell your Terra Sahara substrate kits in the Northeast?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We have retail locations who have our products on our shelves. We are focused on expanding that this year. We hope to be at a store near you soon!

[@bassnbucksoutdoors2897]

so i was wondering if tax and shipping is included in your total on the cart at the bio dude.com

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hi Bass. If you are out of state there is no tax. The shipping is calculated when you choose the option best suited to your time frame.

[@keRrYsTuArT101]

So when might your cultures come back in stock. I've been waiting for a month or 2

[@cynthiastack8874]

You should sell pine Needles.

[@isaiahjackson4438]

6:15 the dude spits cactus into his hand which he tosses into a tub of plants.

[@bassnbucksoutdoors2897]

who is your plant supplier

[@MysteryView]

UK!UK!UK!!!!! The sooner the better Josh!

[@abbycollins5668]

Hey do you know there a guy on eBay who sell stuff that like your, I though he was you cause his photos of stuff he had looked exactly like yours, just search for isopods

[@lessliejohnson5684]

working to get you in the wee little pet shop I work in.

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I look forward to it!

[@nay.murray6097]

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

We're working on it!

[@laneciareyes5989]

Good work!!!

[@reptilesplus4481]

It's a good thing I don't live near you. I would go broke buying all those beautiful plants lol

[@jamesgreig9983]

Need in the UK! Noone comes close to the quality you do in the UK

[@lenny8911]

Hey bio dude what type of bromeliads do I put in my crested gecko terrarium​

[@ethans001]

BFcubes none

[@lenny8911]

[@uomorana71]

any bromelia is good especially the one without spines

[@lenny8911]

where do you get your terrarium's from

[@uomorana71]

zoomed and exoterra

[@jovanvilla7454]

Love your videos

[@jamesmarshall452]

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hi James. We do not yet. Canada is coming soon!

[@tracyjamestavares3255]

This kid is great . You would think he would be workin 4 a Lab. , Museum or Zoo .

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Nahhhhh. I just work for myself! Going to accomplish my dream!

[@cccrit]

The dude abides

[@Luuo73]

yay for substrates to canada

[@ronr179]

I wish the shipping wasn’t so high for your bedding otherwise I would have your setup for my crested gecko 🦎

[@ethantheshoeman3020]

Good vid

[@brandonskehan7715]

I want to buy stuff from you but you're shipping is sooo high. The shipping is $35 for me. And I need isopods and springtails but unfortunately have to buy from elsewhere it looks like.

[@HudsonFW]

No, springtails and isopods are no longer needed as they have been replaced with his BioShot. I had thought the same but i emailed him and was told that the BioShot is meant to replace that and is faster acting and better overall. He also explained this in the video at 9:30. As for the shipping, trust me it is worth every dollar. You will not be disappointed. I was hesitant on getting it because of the shipping price but i went ahead and made that purchase and couldn't be any happier.

[@brandonskehan7715]

Hudson Walker Would the bio shot take any longer than the isopods and springtails. I added mealworms and have a couple dark beetles in there rn to help some till I decide to buy some.

[@HudsonFW]

No, it is actually faster acting than the isopods and springtails.

[@johnvazquez1405]

I love what you do

[@destortoise]

LMAO he ate the cactus

[@ethantheshoeman3020]
