[@MrVante247]

I can listen to you talk all day, your voice is a comfort

[@ellesreptiles]

Haha thanks 😊

[@karenmcisaac22]

What a great idea using the paint tray

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you! It worked pretty nicely with the slope, helping her get in and out easier. 😊

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

Wow your enclosures are always so amazing!!!

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you so much 😁

[@hyfeb13]

Such a GORGEOUS enclosure!

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you! 😊

[@AdamSmith-mf3cu]

Thanks u so much i do appreciate your response. And hope to see u at Chattanooga and huntsville repticon this year,and of course your videos 😀

[@AdamSmith-mf3cu]

Hey elle i was wounder hiw u added the bubbler in your tank? O and im looking forward to viewing more of yor animals and creations and thanks

[@ellesreptiles]

Hi! 😊 I just drilled a hole in the side and ran the air tube through. Then I attached the bubbler stone to the air tube and dropped it in the water

[@yeetyeet3424]

Were do you order your animals from because u inspired me and my MOM to get a ball python so were should I get one or were do order them from? Respond when u can Thx

[@ellesreptiles]

That's awesome! 😊 one of mine came from a reptile show and one from Craigslist. I would also highly recommended Repticon or morphmarket.com If you have a local exotic animal store nearby (not a chain pet store), that can be a great place to find one as well, because they often buy directly from local breeders. Good luck! They're so cool to have! 😁

[@dannyd7148]

Great set-up!

[@ellesreptiles]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@justdaysi1367]

Hey where can I buy pieces of acrylic like that??

[@SoapMonkeeyy]

Wouldn’t it be possible for the drainage tube area to get clogged up? Like if substrate and moss got into the water

[@ellesreptiles]

Probably, but that part isn't siliconed in, so I could just pop it out and rinse it out in the sink 😊

[@madisynsfurryscales6091]

What did the vet do about her parasites? I have a wild caught tokay gecko that has a vet appointment tomorrow

[@ellesreptiles]

They test a fecal sample for the parasites (so if you have one, definitely take it in) and they just gave her a tiny amount of a dewormer solution that they put into her mouth. Just a tip: I always took a clean wash cloth with me to wrap around her, sorta like a little reptile burrito. This helps to hold them in place so they're not squirming, and the vet can get the medicine in their mouth easier.

[@madisynsfurryscales6091]

Elle's Reptiles okay thank you!!

[@SupremeGecko]

I soooo want red eyes. Have a friend breeding them and just want to make sure I have enough space, the right setup. Great video!

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you so much! I waiting for forever to get one, and I love her so much. ❤️

[@SupremeGecko]

@@ellesreptiles Good luck with her. Would you ever think of introducing a male for breeding, down the road?

[@mariahrose5909]

Did you get the skink? If so how are they doing?

[@SupremeGecko]

@@mariahrose5909 no I did not. Just too many projects.

[@le_bidou]

Hello, what is the second terrarium made of? is this metal and plexiglass?

[@ellesreptiles]

Hi! It's a pvc/acrylic tank 😊

[@MOOSEFITNESS]

im now buying a croc skink since im moving my bearded dragon into a 120 gallon would a 40 gallon be to big for a croc skink btw im a game of thrones nerd so i love that you named her cersie btw you can buy a tone of captive bread reptiles from under ground reptiles also i love your channel

[@ellesreptiles]

You could definitely put him in a 40 gallon - they won’t come out much, but you could definitely build a beautiful setup :)

[@pdv3526]

Great video! I will look for that vid you mentioned about what to ask breeders. I like going to reptile shows but always concerned about the health. Of the animal I purchase.

[@ellesreptiles]

Yea, there's so many good breeders at reptile shows, though, just have to be careful. (More careful than I was haha)

[@cybertyger1240]

So i am price matching because i am getting one and wanted to know an estimate on how much the bioactive was

[@mialanier3981]

"she hasn't been playing dead anymore" :) lol

[@lacijade3602]

Can you keep a red eyed crocodile skink in a 10 gallon or is 20 gallon minimum?

[@bloedaap2506]

20 is minimum for one crocskink

[@mollykennedy3661]

I’m thinking of getting a gecko so what type do you recommend?

[@ellesreptiles]

It really just depends on what you're looking for. Crested geckos, leopard geckos, and African Fat tails are a few really cool choices. 😊

[@ericapuzio7202]

Beautiful set up! Lucky little skink 💕💕

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@pedrocrane4714]

Beautiful skink, amazing setup! If I had to give any advice is that you don't use analog thermometer/hygrometer since they are extremely inacurate! I recommend the digital ones. Best Lu to you and your gorgeous skink

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you so much! And that's interesting. I would've thought it'd be the other way around. I'll definitely have to order some new (digital) ones, then. Thanks 😊

[@pedrocrane4714]

@@ellesreptiles yrah, I've seen people having their temperatures waaay off because of analog thermometers, even me, when I got my leopard gecko i used the analog ones and there were about 3°- 6°deggres cellcius off, which isn't that bad since leos are pretty Hardie but I've heard that Croc skinks need their temps and Humidity right were its supposed to be.

[@exoticdakota1245]

Wow, I love the enclosure! I love bioactive setups and want to do some of my own some day when I get a tropical species.

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you 😊 They're definitely my favorite. Especially for species like this that don't like to be bothered.

[@georgiamoonproductions979]

Awesome Set Up...☝☝☝👌👌👌💯

[@ellesreptiles]

Thank you! 😊

[@phrog1582]

Awww. Maybe I’ll look into these guys! I mentioned this in a past video but I need help. Basically my ball python is in a 40 gallon with a water bowl, a hide, and aspen substrate. He does get a lot of time out of his tank but I feel like he is super bored. I have gotten two branches for him (one from outside and one from a friend) But my dad won’t let me put it in there bc our local reptile store (that we really trust and I volunteer for) said we don’t need it. And we probably don’t need it but I still feel bad for him. What should I tell my dad? Also we had a red bulb bc our house gets really cold at night but I heard that those can hurt their eyes but my dad won’t switch it out for a ceramic heat emitter bc our local reptile shop said the red bulb would be ok. Any advice? Thank you so much💞💞💞💞

[@ellesreptiles]

Yes, snakes (and other reptiles) can get bored. Enrichment is incredibly important for reptiles. This includes branches and fake leaves. I've actually already recorded a video all about the importance of enrichment that will be out the Sunday after this coming Sunday. I also would advise against aspen for ball pythons. Ball pythons need a higher humidity (~60%) and aspen bedding tends to mold very easily under these conditions. Otherwise, aspen is usually recommended for dryer species like corn snakes. As for the red light, they were previously thought to be safe, because reptiles can't see red. We now know that they can't see the color red, but instead they just see bright light. So, using a red bulb is essentially just putting a bright light on their tanks. This can really mess up their day/night cycle and cause stress. You are 100% correct about adding a ceramic heat emitter if it's too cold. (Just make sure it's in a dome with a dimmer switch). It sounds like your local reptile store had the right idea, but it's outdated information. Reptile care is constantly changing and evolving for the better, but many people get the care down and then just stop researching. Good luck! ❤️

[@phrog1582]

Elle's Reptiles, thank you! I will show my dad that video when you have it out! 💞

[@BedroomBeardies]

Great setup! Yours always are though :)

[@ellesreptiles]

Awww thank you so much ❤️

[@rjfoster409]

What temp does your water usually be?

[@ellesreptiles]

Usually mid-high 70s, because it’s summer and my house is always hot.

[@rjfoster409]

@@ellesreptiles and you're just using a bubbler.....not a pump with a filter?

[@dyeonmclemore1609]

How much to build one?
