I'm glad I found your channel recently. I'm subscribed and like your videos. I just told some people about you saying Spadefoot toads can survive buried for months. I wonder if you could legally allow in-person tours of your pets and accept donations. There is probably some way to identify it and limitations that would not require permits, licenses, registrations. I'm sure I personally would never visit (just because I don't travel for any purpose), but if you were within 5-10 miles of my home, I would.

WWR, laying down: "Paint me like one of your French girls." Also, btw, the only part I was disappointed about this mini zoo was that it wasn't open to public 😂 as a Canadian, I need more reptile zoos to visit

[@sporq4156]

This is awesome. Reminds me of when I bought a 270 gallon enclosure from a pet store that was closing. It came fully set up and they even delivered it to my house. But when I started going through all the plants and substrate, I found 3 green tree frogs, 5 fire belly toads, 2 Moorish geckos and a baby green iguana hiding inside. So I got busy building enclosures and ended up with a minizoo too. Yours is way cooler than what I had though. Congrats on your minizoo!!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Oh wow! What a score!

Also I have no idea what species you could be getting but keep us updated lol.

I think that a display tarantula would fit in this collection! It might not be part of the reptile hobby, but it would be cool to see an arboreal tarantula in one of the empty enclosures. An Antilles Pink Toe makes a great display!

Hey Adam, I would highly recommend buying something like one large mistking system instead of three exo terra monsoons since I am having great success with mine. Also the mini zoo looks great!!

[@alexandriahayes9827]

Man I'm jealous, hahah. You got a lot of species I want! Not sure about their bones, but milk frogs do have blue blood, which is actually why their everything else is blue (and why our mouth and organs are pink/red). Though I suppose their marrow would be blue at the very least, and there are blood vessels throughout the bone, so they might be blue too after all!

I can never remember the name of the dart frog that I love. I'll have to go back to the dart frog collection video I saw them on and get back to you on it. But they would be a cool addition. LOVE the Amazon Milk Frogs. Would be a frog species I would own. I do hear their blood is blue. Not sure about their bones though. Would be cool to see how long it takes the isopods to break down feces. Can't wait for updates. Yes! Would love a care guide about Day Geckos. Got a feeling one of these days you're going to have a legit reptile zoo. Would be awesome!

I also went down the rabbit hole of looking into DIY systems but the pump cost alone on top of not having a timer it's just not feasible to get the same quality for any cheaper than just getting a starter system.

Get some Oyapocks for your next dart frog. Very bold and the white and black with the Blue legs is pretty striking in person.

[@nuclearporcelain]

WAIT! You are a plant guy? Please I need a plant collection video. I myself collect rare Hoya and Aroids so I‘m always interested to see other people’s collections. If anyone wants an unsolicited recommendation for unusual Terrarium plants: Try hoya serpens or begonia amphioxus. Both basically impossible to keep alive outside of terrarium or cloches, but absolutely stunning and thriving in 80%+ humidity.
