[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Grow tent companies need to be lining up 😂

@@Dakotahblueexotics maybe if you were growing jazz cabbage and not reptiles.

[@xturtlex84]

So many questions. Did you have to do anything special to mount the lights? Did you buy any extras for the tent or just the tent as is? Thank you 😊

[@nathanrice8536]

Is there a link to this exact tent? I need this! Thank you!

[@wulves6509]

How do you observe them and what about air exchange ?

[@TalonOfDragon]

How are you hanging all the lights? Zipties or something else?

[@RottingPumpkinReviews]

How’d you mount the lights inside the tent?

[@sweim1831]

Next time i suggest making a half box using 2x12 boards and a sheet of plywood, it can make a more stable and sturdy base for putting substrate in!

[@oliverjeffers2036]

Upgrading my tegu soon and I will do that!

[@chrissyelliott2987]

You did put the tent sideways right?

[@Cold_Blooded_Gems_]

Broooo . I’m loving the new spot ! Looks much looks like you have plenty of room to keep growing 👌🏻 keep at it kid ! 🤙🏻

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

It's amazing how much space you get when you no longer own 5 giant lizards 😂

[@bombina71]

Can i use the tent for dart frogs?

[@JaxPratt]

What light set up did you end up using? I'm working on a tegu enclosure as well and have no idea where to start with the lights

[@jacobbridges9075]

Seems like a really affordable way of doing it. Nice

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Love the affordable price while still being a great enclosure

Im using a 4x2x6 grow tent for my juvenile peach throat monitor where did you get the tiles from?

[@ysp.96]

Nice video bro. I just got a grow tent to use for my sailfin because of you. I like it alot. Holds heat and humidity very well, but just after 5 days l noticed some mold growing on my tree branches. Have your ever encounter mold in your grow tent? If so hope for you handle it and prevent it from happening again? Thanks.

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Message me on IG I can help you. I'll state generally for people that may have the same to use a small computer fan to help circulate the air better. Usually mold growth is due to a lack of air exchange where the air becomes to stagnant couple with high humidity that these tropical reptiles need and it's an easy recipe for it.

[@ysp.96]

@@Dakotahblueexotics l actually do not have ig. Do you have a fb? And yeah a sailfin dragon's recommended humidity levels are 75%-85%+. Will the air fan decrease humidity levels? Tbh l am pretty new to grow tents and a novice at reptile keeping. Thanks again.

Can i use a grow tent for a month old quince monitor?

[@uzicarries8582]

Grow tents can be pretty large so as long as they meet the monitor’s size requirements

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Great video buddy

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Appreciate it!

[@JaxPratt]

Im working on making a similar set up for a tegu but im tight on money- what soil would you recommend i use and how much for an aria about the same soze of yours

[@Nooneshouldhavethisname]

[@GarysTandAExotics]

Sweet Ive been waiting for you to get an ac before me so you could do exactly this video. I like dem thiccc poles. 😂. I want to re do Bettys enclosure soon. The vivosun shes in is still holding with no issues. 😳that I know of 😅

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

They worth it. The vivosuns rust after a few years. I didn't have that problem with my ac and was able to bring it when I moved

[@beachaddict7653]

I wish i knew about grow tents instead of wasting hundreds on a pvc cage.

[@TVelodrome]

Grow tents are cheap, actually a great idea, vision wise not that great 😊 "just build a wooden enclosur" hahaha I got fahlo love tracking my lion and polar bear

[@kearstinnekenerson6676]

Also I feel your love hate with grow tents

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Hopefully this is the last one for a while lol

[@Inkedscales]

Seeing you move your tegu in her cork hide made me laugh. My adult male loves his cork round but it’s massive and 5’ long. Your girl is tiny.

[@kearstinnekenerson6676]

I don’t think you are the target demographic they are looking for to sponsor I normally see people like them sponsoring special grow channels

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

But I grow reptiles 🥲

[@kearstinnekenerson6676]

@@Dakotahblueexotics honestly I would like to see more people using grow tents in the hobby like imagine a green tree python with like a mini apple or pair tree with the branches bent out around in a 3x3x6.5 and a 50 gallon cloth pot for the soil put some flowers or grasses on the bottom and have a really nice bioactive green tree python enclosure.
