Since a lot of people really enjoy building the tanks, it would be awesome to see a breakdown of the best species by habitat requirements: best lizard for vertical tank, best snake for desert terrarium, best semi-aquatic species, etc.

[@devinscreaturecrew]

I can’t get over their struggle for traction and their fail jumps, haha! They’re such goofy little geckos. I can’t wait to get my Mourning Geckos set up in a bioactive!

I can't close my mouth I'm in such shock. I'd never seen a neon day gecko. What an outstanding looking little creature. They are neon. When the cutest face I've ever seen on a gecko. I'm in love. I need to get some neon day geckos and jumping spiders. I need to stop talking about all of this and start doing it. What an adorable little lizard.

Haha haha Hahaha

[@nerodia]

I'm sure you've found out by now Clint, but the beauty of those CUC cuisine pucks is that they grow a huge amount of fluffy white mold. A well-established crew with lots of isopods will eat it up before that happens, but in new tanks expect a nice healthy fungal growth. It's all benign and great food for our springtail and crustacean buddies and triggers population booms in my isopod cultures. My dwarf purple isopod culture gives it a chance to bloom into fungal growth, but they're tiny. My P. scaber and P. laevis colonies, though, devour the pucks before that happens. Speaking of isopods, if you haven't already, culturing isopods (including morphs!) is really rewarding and almost no effort. Keeping an isopod colony healthy is on the difficulty level of keeping a pothos.

[@johnschalkwyk7192]

Clint I love your videos and im always annoying my parents about reptiles keep it up

[@ClintsReptiles]

Awesome! Sounds like a good day :)

[@trishkolberg9109]

You posted this literally while I was putting together my first bioactive enclosure! Also, with help from Josh's Frogs - fantastic people. I seem to have approximated what you did pretty well. Planning on having 1-2 dart frogs and 1-2 mourning geckos in a 16x16x24 corner tank. Got some small-leafed philodendron per your recommendation - and thanks to your previous video, I knew I could pull it apart a little bit so the leaves are growing in different parts of my tank! Got 2 rescues thus far (leo x1 year and corn x2 months), and I may finally actually buy from a breeder for my latest display tank! Josh's Frogs is just 2.5 hours away from me, so I may turn it into a day trip! Had to cancel my Michigan vacation this summer due to COVID so this is my replacement for my trip. Thanks for all your videos! Love learning something new!

[@chemeister]

Keeping geckos looks fun. Loved the tank and the video nice job. 👌 So glad you switched hands at 10:11 and cut away from yourself with that knife. Phew. My spider-sense was tingling. Lol

[@kencross25]

Should you lightly "ruff up" the bamboo with very fine sandpaper since one of the little critters was having a hard time climbing up one of the vertical pieces? He was cute taking one step up the bamboo then slide back two, over and over.

[@ornithowlogist]

love you for taking the time to link the products

[@ps374249]

I wanted to get a blue gecko and I thought a Tokay was my only option. As a first time reptile owner to be, I knew a Tokay was probably not the best gecko for me, so I thought I should start looking into different colored geckos. And then you featured these guys. I'd love to get some, but my apartment doesn't allow reptiles. I might get them as a graduation present for myself in a few years, assuming I can find an apartment by my future law school that takes reptiles.

[@MintyFarts]

I kept my tarantulas on a shelf in my closet that I converted to a pet care room and had my clothes in a dresser. Especially if you know they are doing an inspection you can just cover them that day.

[@mileswhite5672]

Please make some more bioactive enclosures and give us some advice on problems you’ll run into when we try to start. Compared to other pet youtubers you have a serious criteria to help people and you also have a good scientific element. Meaning you explain things on a beginner level rather than assuming we know what all the hybrid names mean etc. Also whats interesting is in Britain where 8m from, the pet industry isn’t as ‘open’ as yours, finding neon day geckos here would be a challenge. We don’t have independent stores like joshs frogs or that tropica for fish tanks to help us really optimise our projects like that... we kinda gotta find a pet store guy we can trust...and even then they’ll be like “oh your youtube guy is wrong, you need this substrate” and then you can never argue with their experience. But good luck to you and your kids n that mate... keep on herping!
