How To Build A Nest Box Or Warm Hide For A Reptile

[@LoveGuruGreg]

Hey Brad! You rock!

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you Greg, right back at you! 🤘💯🤘

Good morning bud. I gotta try to make something similar to try out and see which place my monitors prefer to lay. Keep up the great work bud and hope you have a great day 🙋‍♂️✌️

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Yeah, give it a go and lmk what you find out! Thanx and I hope you have a great day too! 🤘💯🤘

The new merch looking CLEAN. The new intro looking CLEAN. The laybox so far looking CLEAN. Keep up the good work bro 👊

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank bro, & thanx for your help and feed back on intro & the shirt design (AI Jupiter)! Your continued support is appreciated! 🤘💯🤘🦎

Good to know Im not the only one that has used magnets on reptile enclosures. I just recently made a set of cage locks for my mangrove monitor enclosure. I used some very strong 110 lb neodymium magnets and they work great.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

That's what's up. Magnets work great for a few various reasons. Shoot me a message on IG. I'm working on a few things and I have some questions with any success or failures/redesign you have done with them. Your continued support is appreciated 🤘💯🤘🥚

[@SerenityDragons]

Great video as always! Appreciate you sharing your expertise. We are about to embark on building a summer outdoor enclosure for Joanna. Wish us luck!

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you and definitely shoot me some pics on IG when you finish it up! Sounds like a fun build to do!

Hi Brad, just wanted to say this will be a fantastic warm crib for the new baby!! (jk… unless?…)Congrats bro and thanks for the great content as always.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Lmao. This had me 🤣. Thanx Mark and my wife and I are super excited to meet our new lil dude soon! Your continued support is appreciated!

I really like the heat tape it looks very clean. On the tile strength yes the center support is not needed in future builds. Tile is more than strong enough to hold substrate and many leg-ed snakes at once. FYI, i know you love polygem but once cured most epoxies are inert. I have an epoxy lava rock structure in a fish tank that is multiple years old. I used JB Weld marine putty. It off gasses when curing but is inert when done as evidenced by living snails shrimp and fish.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Yeah, the heat tape did the trick. I'll have to look into the JB weld marine putty. I did talk with polygem and let them know my plans with the 1618 and heat. They said it could withstand a very high temp. Time will tell and I'll have to do an update on video once it's been up and running fir a while. Your continued support is appreciated Dan! 🤘💯🤘

[@dericplummer9272]

By inert what do you mean?

[@dshobe720]

@dericplummer9272 inert refers to off gassing from a material. Like the insulation in your house continues to off gas for a while after install. Epoxy stops off gassing once the chemical setting reaction is done. UV can make different materials break down and off gas during this process. VOC's are what the off gassing is called and can sometimes be smelled by us as a chemical smell. If epoxy is broken down by UV microplastics would be the end result rather than a chemical release of the epoxy.

Looking good. Coming together nicely 👀👀👀

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thanx bro, much appreciated. You'll be able to see it in person soon! #monitorfest

[@ravishingreptiles]

So far so good!! I can't wait to see the finished paludarium

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thanx bro, you'll be able to see it in person come May! 🤘💯🤘

[@Joshua-zv1ux]

I like the DIY projects they are awesome

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you. This one was frustrating because i had to redesign a few times but hopefully people learn from my mistakes lol

[@CopperheadCustoms]

Love it mate

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thanx brother!

[@dericplummer9272]

Nice. I looked up the 1618 on polygem. When you order it does it come with two separate cans for Part A and Part B?

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Yes. When you order it, it comes in 2 separate cans in the same order

[@JochemVanGorp]

would you please make another video about a crested gecko enclosure

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Maybe some day, working on some big projects at the moment. But your request is noted! I do have 2 gargoyle gecko builds on the channel 🤘💯🤘

[@JochemVanGorp]

that's very cool too
