Thosr arent geckos, they're anoles and they can change color from green to brown

Green and brown anoles are different speices

[@whackydart39474]

@@Breviparopus yes, but what he’s saying is that green anoles can change color gradually from green to brown based on their environment.

I don’t think there’s a different species they just color them self different they turn green to brown

@@MrHillbillyI think mostly try to learn more abt cohabitation with some of the lizards and sand can be harmful but I hope you learn from this, your channel is sick bro keep it on 🔥

@@MrHillbillyI think your doing great, personally I’ve never done anything close to this except for a saltwater tank and a freshwater tank. But yours look way better than what mine ever looked like. Keep doing what your doing, your doing great.

more 100 days vids plz, very cool

Once Koda outgrows this tank, this would make an awesome tank for stuff like Vampire Crabs or other smaller, semi-aquatic animals! Awesome job!

Thanks!

I’m in the process of it👍🏻 I’m not sure what to put in it now. My monitor grew outta it it’s been vacant for 3 months now.

[@arfinaswilly5171]

But, how do you clean the paludarium ?

[@MrHillbilly]

I take him out and clean it. It doesn’t need cleaned often. Just picking up poop when the bugs can’t get to it and wiping the glass with warm water

[@arfinaswilly5171]

@@MrHillbilly oo oke, thanks for the information btw, cause i wanna build a mini paludarium for my crocodile skink

[@MrHillbilly]

oh what a cool creature! Ive always wanted one

[@Theorex]

What is the lizard introduced at 5 minutes? It says blue tail skinks but they only ever get to be a few inches at most

[@MrHillbilly]

Sorry. It’s a whip tail

[@Theorex]

Update, looks like it is a Black Belly Racerunner

[@MrHillbilly]

Ya it does look like that. But we don’t have those here.

How is Koda now

[@MrHillbilly]

I know... My 3 year old calls them geckos and I forgot I was making a video I guess

[@NolleyTheodore]

@@MrHillbilly oh ok

[@roberts3in1]

You got a list of materials that’s safe to use that you used in this video it’s pretty cool I wanna make one for my son

[@MrHillbilly]

Yeah so depending on the size of tank you will need 1-2 cans black spray foam (lowes or Amazon) 2-2 in foam board (lowes) 3-drylok basement paint( ace hardware) 4-cement dye (lowes) 5-planters usually come with plants 6- small water pump 7- pice of plexi glass to seperate land from water 8- 100% silicone. Get the odor free one in black or brown it drys faster and doesn’t have a strong smell. Hope this helps.

[@F0RG.]

Would you need to get a new cage after it grows or can it stay in the same cage

[@MrHillbilly]

He already outgrew this cage. If your gonna get a monitor than I would suggest a large cage right off the bat. This will save money and time.

[@F0RG.]

Ok how big of a cage

[@MrHillbilly]

Depends on what monitor you get but for my monitor gets 5 ft long so I would want a tank at least 10 ft wide by 6 ft high cause he likes to climb

[@diycraftguy6163]

Gosh he looks like a raptor from jarassic park hiding in the trees

[@MrHillbilly]

Ya he does!

[@dgandpka]

Ye he Really does

[@thorns1015]

You should definitely not house those anoles together, the bigger ones are males and are constantly fighting as they are highly territorial. You're creating an extremely stressful environment for them.

[@MrHillbilly]

There is 1 male And one female.

[@thorns1015]

@@MrHillbillyI assure you that you have two males. 4:49 isn’t him trying to “get it on” with the browner male, he’s competing with it for dominance. You have two males. Put them in separate enclosures and be responsible.

[@MrHillbilly]

one of the males is laying eggs... I dunno haha

There is so much wrong in this video Those are anoles . The head bobing is a territorial display so they do not all get along. I hope that you are not planning on keeping that Nile in that enclosure for too long , it's way to small for a adult monitor

[@MrHillbilly]

Haha dude this video is from a year ago. That monitor is already grown up and in his new home. Those anoles still live together too.

Are you gonna do a face reveal not begging

[@GatorMike79]

You should do a little more research on your lizard species. Your "blue-tailed skink" is a six lined race runner and your "geckos" are green anoles.

[@MrHillbilly]

The blue tail is a whiptail lizard and I know what anoles are. If you read any of the other comments you would see this. But thanks for the repeat comments if you did a lil research you would have seen that
