I Made a Toad’s Paradise Bio-active Terrarium

My pet toad needed a new home. So I restored an old aquarium and made a bio-active terrarium.

📣 The Good News Message 📣
We've all lied, stolen, hated, and done wrong. These are morally evil things that should be punished. However, God is not only just, but also love. He manifested Himself on earth in the person Jesus. He lived the perfect sinless life we are incapable of living yet died the death we deserve. Jesus bore the wrath of God as though He had committed all our sins. In other words, we owed God in death for our moral crimes, but Jesus paid the fine. He defeated death and rose again! This was so that our sin could be paid for justly, and so Jesus' perfect righteousness could be gifted to us who put our trust Him and what He did on our behalf. God deeply desires a relationship with you, but will not tolerate sin. You can be forgiven if you simply trust in the payment made for you. Turn from sin and trust in Christ because you are loved!

I've made something very special for people who like toads. A 👕 with a 🐸🥪 on it! Not just a 🐸but a 🐸🥪. 1e9ad4.myshopify.com/

how big is the tank featured in this video? gallons-wise, preferably!!

[@MrHillbilly]

😂😂 “ I’ve come along way sense my toad stomping days” I’m very surprised you don’t have more views on this.

[@Practically_Nature]

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed it. Maybe someday I’ll get more views. For now I’m trying to make better and better videos

Beautiful terrarium👍🏻 how is frog from previous video doing?

[@Terraarts-bp4yv]

Thanks this was very inspiring I do have a young toad and I was looking for inspiration for building a cool bio active terrarium for him God bless you thank you😊

[@Practically_Nature]

Awesome! I’m glad I could be inspiring

[@touchwood108]

Brilliant video and very informative. I need a bit of advice, just a question though, would you need a light and what about the top to stop him escaping?

[@Practically_Nature]

Light is necessary for plant growth. Toads don’t generally jump as much or as high as frogs so as long as there is nothing for the toad to climb on to get 6 inches below the rim, you should be okay without a lid. I did actually have Meatball escape this setup once because he climbed the driftwood and hopped out. I simply but it board across the tank in the back just over the driftwood and never had the problem again.

[@CrankWavesbackupchannel]

How did you edit in those exlamation point animations like at 3:51 ? I'm just being curious.

[@Practically_Nature]

I use some assets from Motion Array

[@none562]

Said God: “Let us make Adam in our image and after our likeness, and let them watch over the sea’s fish and the heavens’ fowl and the land’s deerkind, even over every goer going on the earth.”

Even toads

[@timmymarczewski7282]

You better not let meatball see the footage of you stomping toads!🐸🐸🐸

[@Practically_Nature]

Hehe that wouldn’t be a good idea

[@BallBoy09]

What type of death feigning beetles are those because I have some but the have to live in a desert environment and humidity like that would kill them. Good video none the less

[@Practically_Nature]

These are some I found in my yard (in Argentina) I’m not sure exactly what kind they are but they do fine in there. They aren’t as blue as others.

[@carsoncrews]

Tbh i think every kid probably did something not veru himane to an animal as a young child out of curiosity

[@sproutdoesstuff]

This is such a cool terrarium! I love the use of local materials and a more natural substrate, opposed to something like coco fiber or an abg mix.

[@Practically_Nature]

Glad you like it! I prefer using national stuff because I think it looks better and it’s free

im not sure but i dont think thats enough water for him

[@Practically_Nature]

It’s enough for his current size. As he gets bigger though, I I’ll need to provide him with a larger soaking area.

[@DoveCallWCUE]

If meatball is bad enough, I don’t think your toad-stomping days will be clean anymore..

[@JenMorris-c1b]

I'm from the blue ridge mountains .... waaaaay different from Arkansas Questions? What are some easy plants I can use? We just acquired two American dwarf frogs named brownie and cookie.... they're super tiny.... I have them in a ten gallon for now but would love to add some plants and get a bigger aquarium

[@Practically_Nature]

Well, if you’d like some plants that have roots in the water and leaves above the water, I would recommend some Hastas. They are very robust and do great with their roots submerged. They can get fairly big though. As for fully submerged plants, I would recommend Hornwort or Alternanthera Reineckii to start.

[@fieqakim]

I just watch+scroll your old videos and suddenly a new video😊

[@Practically_Nature]

Glad I could entertain!

[@allhailme8457]

What kind of toad is Meatball?

[@Practically_Nature]

I’m not 100% sure, but I think he might be a Cain toad

[@mandawelsh185]

What kind of cleanup crew would you recommend for an American toadlet? We are just getting started and I’m doing research!

[@Practically_Nature]

Springtails and Isodpods are excellent. Of course the toad will eat some of the isopods but that’s all well and good.

[@sydlynnxx]

I have about 50 tadpoles right now just starting to get their back legs! I’ve raised tadpoles to toads every year from the time I was little but I’ve never kept one and I want too this year. 😁This home you made for Meatball looks so amazing!! What kind of plants do you have in there?

[@Practically_Nature]

That sounds like a fun childhood! I put a couple different kinds of plants in there. I think there was some tiger grass and then some I found outside.

[@richelleblackwelder746]

What is the maintenance/cleaning like for this habitat? My son is 4 and I want to help him enjoy his nature boy ways. But for now, that means it’s gotta be me taking the lead on learning about upkeep. I also keep trying to get him to name his toad Frogo Baggins, and he just looks at me like I have two heads. We’ll get there one day…

[@Practically_Nature]

Hehe Frogo Baggins is a good one! It doesn’t require too much. The main thing is just making sure the toad has access to clean water all the time. If you’re able to keep lights and water the terrarium regularly, you’ll be able to keep the plants alive. Then it’s just the matter of looking out for mold and removing the poo if it’s not dealt with by insects.

[@pork333]

I recently had a toad that died due to lack of calcium :( but I’m going to try again using knowledge from my mistakes. And I think you deserve more views, your content is amazing! Keep it up 😁👍

What species is meatball?

[@Practically_Nature]

Something from Argentina. Possibly a Cain toad

[@bengaltiger1667]

@@Practically_Nature Don't think he's a cane toad, too dark colored, and they're not native to Argentina. I did a little digging. He might be an Argentine toad (Rhinella arenarum), but that's a tentative guess. It'll probably become more apparent once he grows larger.

Oh interesting! I hope to figure it out eventually

[@TheeJesusConnection]

Hey man, I just have to say that I think it's awesome that you were bold enough to talk about your faith on KZbin. It's something I've always thought about with and wondered how to implement it into a channel. I'm also a Christian and, ironically, from an area near the blue ridge mountains too! (Lynchburg, Virginia to be precise.) What brought you to Argentina? (if you don't mind my asking - it's totally ok if you do mind). Thanks again for sharing!

[@Practically_Nature]

That’s awesome! I’m from Nelson Country! I’m in Argentina because that’s where my wife is from. We met on OM’s Logos Hope (you can look it up) We got married here since she needs to get a visa before we can live in the US. I think Christians need to be more bold about sharing our faith no matter what we’re doing. I just happen to be doing KZbin, so that’s where I share.
