I Built A Bioactive Vivarium For My Crested Gecko And You Get To Pick The Winner!

[@MotherTruckinReptiles]

Next time do the foam first, but set some solo cups to later be pockets for elevated plants! 😊 After it starts expanding, remove the cups and then add your hard scape with little dabbles of foam to attach it. Or for sticks i just punch a hole lol

1:39 so we’re just gonna ignore the roach just watching him put this together

Charcoal filters the water and is a grounds for beneficial bacteria

[@mrgesso1578]

LOVE this one

Thanks!

I vote #1 every time you look at him you will know how much you inspire people

[@finnthecat3429]

It came out great!! ❤ All the little pieces of wood and bark really work out in these enclosures and they’re coming out great! The *moss* is leading you in the right direction! 😤🙏 my vote is for the little red guy, for being a lil red guy, or the lily white you produced!

[@juniorbaez1628]

Nice setup keep up the good work

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

Appreciate it

[@MotherTruckinReptiles]

I'm loving watching this project unfold 😊

[@MR-bp3in]

I have 3 cresteds each in their own bioactive setup,they seem to love it. Gotta get a couple of the white ones next !

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

We'll have quite a few right now!

[@MR-bp3in]

@@Dakotahblueexotics I looked at a couple on morph market I'm guessing very soon I will have one lol

[@EvelyneChanel]

I think the lily white you produced would like amazing in this set up!

Charcoal helps to prevent bad odour and bacterial growth amongst many things.

[@juniorbaez1628]

Where do you buy charcoal?

Really great and educational video for my 12 year old before the weird comments about onlyfans.

[@saralou123]

#4 or #5. It’s hard to choose between those two. 😩

[@reptilesdesign1358]

Ill say it for you, but here I keep cresteds in rack of 181824 planted vivarium, but I only put good drainage layer to the 1st bac (those near ground) since the other get heat from led and UV(like a heat mat) (metal rack you can look on my channel) ... In fact most of the time my soil get too dry misting isnt enough. (And its perfect lol) just so you look maybe with a Tempgun. (To not have only 100kg vivarium lol) Peace! Tokay lover💪(am from canada and one day Ill want some crazy Tokay.)

How do you clean the wood sourced from outside?

[@julieann4956]

what size cage is that i am working on getting a cage for a new crestie i am getting

[@caeciliadamour2938]

Out of the animals I saw my favorite is the very first dalmation in the beginning (one of those is on my bucket list- light solid base with black and red dots) I am wondering, how do I know which branches are safe and what needs doing to those branches and leaves from the outside? I just got done setting up one enclosure for my first crestie and I would love to add some branches and maybe some oak leaves. (I went with bioactive ground but fake vines/leaves)

[@YuehAndFriends]

Any tips on keeping isopods in the bioactive terrarium. I been finding my orange powders exploring my carpet xD

[@lauriebouchardclark]

I hope that will not be the case for orange isopods. I finally have stuff to build my bioactive and got the powder orange . My husband and daughter will freak if they see any loose. They’re ok with my Madagascar, hissing cockroach, due to size And the container unable to get out of. Hoping the little bioactive critters will be perfectly happy in their bioactive home and stay there. Anyone have problems with their springtails? I have the charcoal and I don’t see any live springtails that came through the mail. I added more water and a little bit of food for the Spring tails, to mold up, so they can have food in their little charcoal container. I’m hoping that there’s some eggs that will hatch if the adults died during shipping because I I live in the states of Maine and it’s miserable.

Did the background hold up? I'm a new crestie owner (first reptile ever) and will be setting up my first bioactive enclosure soon. I've watched a lot of bioactive setup videos and see some use silicone first before using the foam., some using silicone, foam, then silicone again. Just wondering if the foam adhered well enough to just use it.

[@Dakotahblueexotics]

So far no issue with foam not adhering to the glass, but I would recommend using silicone and coco fiber. Most of the that fell off unfortunately without using it

[@christineanderson3493]

@@Dakotahblueexotics thanks so much for the advice. Much appreciated!

[@michalmach5200]

My question is maybe stupid but how often you clean the whole vivarium and is there any problem with cleaning the background you just created?
