Rating Your Even Worse Reptile Enclosures - #2

The last vid got a lot of great feedback so we're back again. I haven't looked at new posts on the hashtag yet, just others previously posted I didn't get to see. Don't worry, I'll certainly mix up content with a lot of other ideas, but it doesn't hurt to do a few more of these here and there!

The ”minimalist ” enclosure for bearded dragons looks nice but in reality there is just not enough enrichment, hides, climbing opportunities etc. So basically I agree that it’s not ideal for bearded dragons.

[@Lichen8404]

I think it would only really be appropriate for a fake beardie or like a display for a skeleton

[@stuckinthelazycorneragain4016]

@@Lichen8404 Haha yeah!

[@GavinLoco]

I totally agree, the only acceptation to the minimalist look would be if your beardie is only using a small percent of the hides in the tank every day. If that's the case then they could do the minimalist look as long as the beardie gets played with frequently and taken out of there tank.

Mine doesn’t have any hiding spots like caves. He just goes in the corner under a branch and digs there.

I’ve watched both your videos: -bearded dragons can have substrate as long as basking temp, UVB and diet is correct -leopard geckos can have lights for their enclosure and UVB, that’s what Arcadia shade dweller is for -halogen heat lamps are a more efficient source of heat due to the UV rays they emit. In the wild burrows are cooler - therefore over head heat is more natural as it allows the reptile to burrow to reach cooler temps

@@HannahRachel research is absolutely key- I've kept tarantulas for almost 2 years now, so I'm not even the most experienced keeper, but honestly research is much more valuable than experience- even a quick google search will tell you this enclosure needs much more substrate and at least one hide.

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

@13:44 Hey I made it in the video. @GoHerping - My terrapins are only about two years old, so my largest female is about 5 or 6 inches. I did end up adding eggcrate along both sides of the ramp to prevent escapes and filled the tub with another six inches or so of water. There is only about 4-6 inches from the top of the ramp/entry to the nest box to the water in the tub now . The sand was used to fill the massive nest box. When they lay eggs they dig a pretty significant nest, so I wanted to make sure they had plenty of depth to dig when it comes time for them to do so. To do water changes, I use a pump and a long python brand water change hose and just pump the water in the the shower drain in the unfinished bathroom down the hall. I built an adapter to hook the same hose to the hot and cold faucet connections in the wall to refill the tub with the appropriate temperature water.

[@jyrex978]

I have a 160 gallon stock tank with a painted turtle and red eared slider. I found the best way to water change is to have it somewhat close to a bathroom. Use a sump with a hose attached to suck the water from the tank into your tub to drain. Once drained enough take a 5 gallon bucket and put it under your tub faucet and then move the sump from your turtle tub into the 5 gallon bucket. Move the hose from the bathroom tub back to the turtle tub and turn the faucet on and adjust the temperature. Plug the sump in and it will suck the water being poured into the 5 gallon bucket and push it into the turtle tub. The sump could be replaced with a regular water pump if it's strong enough. I got a cheap sump from Harbor Freight for around $50 and it pulls water faster than my faucet can spit out so once I get low in the 5 gallon bucket I'll unplug it and let it fill back up before plugging it in again. This method can also be used for water changes on larger fish tanks. Granted you probably want to use a water pump so you can raise it above the substrate rather than sucking your substrate out with a sump.

If you want gravel and rock decor for turtle enclosures but are worried about impaction - try taking some stones and anchoring them to the base or gluing them together to fit your enclosure floor but are removable while being too large and awkward to swallow.
