Experience the Adventure

[@seadragondrawings7843]

You’re lucky to have so many expos. I only an expo one once a year.

[@s0d4_p0p9]

Me too it sucks, I have only one family owned pet store near me and I have to go to Petco for some stuff...(; ^;)🔫

[@sigridmoellerhansen1504]

Same

[@Taylorapos]

I just got a Zilla enclosure myself at repticon, I LOVE IT!!. Idk about the larger ones but for my 18x18x25 the screen is waaaaay sturdier than an exoterra. I love the overall design and it’s doing an excellent job holding in humidity

[@WildLife_Perspective]

What an amazing build! I hope he loves it. I'll be building a naturalistic enclosure for my Cuban knight anole soon!

[@RadiantReptilia]

Awesome! So glad you think so! And Vera is definitely loving it so far!

[@roadkill5727]

Dude you did such a sweet job, your rat girl is so cute, and you guys are hella entertaining. Thanks for existing

[@jakelavalle6475]

Looks way better than I expected

[@lazzlebones]

Also I wish I had cool friends to make bio active enclosures with 😁

[@nataliealtiner4411]

You guys did a very good job. I can't wait to see the updates.

[@lostandlau]

Loved this video and the enclosure looks great!

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

Veeeerry Nice!!!!! idk if Illever do any bioactive habitats but I always admire people who have them!

[@hamzanaeem2725]

Love this vid. Watching second time 💗💗

[@deedeemegadoodoo6291]

One of the most underrated reptile channels

[@fe1liott.civicsi]

Thats incredible that u spent under $150! I’m going to my first reptile expo to upgrade my leopard gecko tank to a 20 gallon. That would be awesome if I could spend about $150 too! 😃

[@RadiantReptilia]

My best tip is to get everything on craigslist or an expo, and bargain the heck out of all of it. I saved money on literally every item in the video just by haggling a little

[@fe1liott.civicsi]

Amazing Animal Adventures Lol I would would of done that but im way to socially awkward to do that 😂

[@hanger5528]

I found a dead grass snake this morning when i was walking to school, but then when i got home i found a gecko in my room lol

[@fe1liott.civicsi]

where in the world do live where you find wild geckos in your room?

[@hanger5528]

@@fe1liott.civicsi i live in Texas its getting cold and my room was warm and the gecko species was Hemidactylus turcicus

[@fe1liott.civicsi]

Aw damn thats awesome!

[@Trellemania]

So glad many more people are going the bioactive route lately

[@DRaquel14]

“What kind of plastic is this” I’m dying

[@View-sc8wf]

I just got one of those today. He was at the pet store for $300, but some how, he cut a HUGE gash in his side. For the past two weeks the pet store was taking him to the vet and cleaning out the wound, but nobody wanted him. He was a beautiful snake, even a little brighter than his. I took him home for $100 and I just finished setting him up. I think I will name him mushu from mulan, but idk.

[@elisestillman2063]

360 View that's an awesome name

[@Flowerstar333]

So pretty! I gave in and bought a light from the Bio dude for my plants in my corn snakes bio tank. It was $90 and the plants are doing well, but I’d like a cheaper option for my other plants in my other snakes tanks. What type of light exactly is that you used from Home Depot? LED- anything specific?

[@-Dogdays-]

A beautiful snake people need more of them the black and orange red is nice Also 2:47

[@kieferbathe323]

Love the vids! Keep uploading!

[@Nz-tm3gs]

Your ratsnake is absolutely beautiful!!! It looks like he is Halloween themed. Haha! 🎃 (Its never to early for spooktober)

[@RadiantReptilia]

Thanks! I absolutely love her colors! *It's a little early*

[@epicwolf3]

I had no idea that Zola had those humidity tops. I think that's a great feature! Very neat vivarium!

[@user-lf3re1vw3k]

Your rat snake is adorable! Yall trying to stab holes in that bowl made me so nervous...

[@SerpentSilver]

Nice and simple. Love it

[@SwissCheese707]

Me, using a hot screwdriver to smoothly poke holes in the lid of a plastic tub, watching you wildly stab a plastic bowl with a large kitchen knife: *I am such a fool*

[@AlexsAgamids]

Awesome upgrade! I greatly approve of the Zilla habitat!

[@lej6550]

Was really expecting a break for going to the ER with knife wounds...

[@RadiantReptilia]

Don't play with knives kiddos.

[@eihsa]

I siliconed the back of my expanding foam tank yesterday and omg never again. You really saved yourself.

[@flerkensgalaxy5779]

It's Great, But You Should Add Some Moss

[@cohazard]

12:22 Sick edit, outstanding job!

[@HoosierHerpvertebrate]

5:33 I had to do the exact same thing to the background that came with my exoterra, accept it was because Foeslayer had gotten herself stuck behind it some how.

[@RadiantReptilia]

Premade foam backgrounds can die.

[@HoosierHerpvertebrate]

Agreed, it'd probably make the cages 10-20$ cheaper if they didn't include them.

[@lazzlebones]

Newsflash: Alex is the sleepiest stoner 🤗👽🤓💕

[@mairstunna8046]

8:30 holes begins to be punched 8:45 the ambulance 🚑 was called to save several cut fingers 😳 #ohmyanxiety

[@iLikeCarsAndStuff]

What substrate is being used? Anyone know or have recommendations

[@RadiantReptilia]

Fir mulch mixed with coco fibers and sphagnum moss.

[@iLikeCarsAndStuff]

@@RadiantReptilia Do you know of any as is substrates for bioactive setups similar to the one you made

[@ashleyflick9686]

unless i didn't catch it, but what kind of substrate is that?

[@1912-t9x]

GreaT VIDEO!!!

[@williamflame8902]

On the last video with the asain rat snake( at least I'm pretty sure it was) I made a mistake on the commet I left I said the video didn't show the snake well. I meant that the camera couldn't show the full extent of how pretty of a snake that is im sorry for the confusion that's my bad I love the videos though keep it up!

[@RadiantReptilia]

Your good man!

[@omarmartinez7277]

any updates on this build?

[@ARPat2000]

can't wait till i can move out of my parents' place and get a snake. Would you recommend this species for a first time reptile owner? i really like the colour and pattern on it

[@keiraramirez1455]

Snazzy.

[@charlienaish447]

What kind of soil did you use

[@RadiantReptilia]

Zilla's jungle mix combined with a bit of cured Eco Earth.

[@aoibheannkavanagh6525]

If you still have your Chameleon you should do a video about him! PLEASE!!!

[@calamityredgnat9356]

2:33 Pfft someone has to make a gif out of that, I hope to make a bioactive enclosure one day but if anything Ima have to wait until the next expo here which is in February. Cool setup tho ^^

[@BensChannel-rn7ge]

Hi

[@kieferbathe323]

Btw. Have you guys successfully bred the carpet pythons yet???

[@turosexotic3639]

Aww man this was literally gonna be my first video i also have a coxi

[@gaberamirez5]

Caw caw

[@victorg7036]

How a build like this be ok for a corn snake?

[@simongillgannon253]

[@RadiantReptilia]

That is an excellent question. I do not have an excellent answer.

[@storiesoftonight]
