REHOUSING MY GLASS FROGS INTO A GIANT VIVARIUM! EPIC PALUDARIUM UPDATE!

[@Reptiliatus]

Welcome back, everyone! Please make sure to do lots of research before considering keeping glass frogs as pets. In general, they are more delicate than a lot of other species kept in herpetoculture. Don't forget to answer today's question of the day! As always, special thanks to my Reptiliatus patrons for their additional support www.patreon.com/Reptiliatus ! Sorry that there haven't been many full-length videos in the last few weeks! I've been VERY BUSY building something VERY BIG for my green tree monitor lizards and several other enclosures for other animals!

[@mereyemsuzanne8635]

It's absolutely gorgeous 😍 And I LOVE the glasfrogs❤❤❤

[@kismitj]

they're so cute they almost look like they could only exist in an anime! love how this habitat has grown out. i've only done a few reptile and invert enclosures, but i really enjoy all the types i've tried so far. the arid has been limited to tarantula species, but its been a fun challenge to figure out ways to keep it interesting for all involved. my favorites are planted enclosures, gardening in miniature! so far of those my favorite has been for my eldest crestie, she loves checking out the different areas depending on what she wants. from burrowing under a bunch of moss to using vines as shortcuts to her preferred hides and ledges. currently plotting out a blue tongue skink enclosure set up for the coming year :3

[@Reddeadmode555]

Man you’re creativity is out of this world

[@rens2998]

I respect that you talked about the paludarium critique! Having the ability to remove the water seasonally (or the other way around prefferably) is the way to go i feel like!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you! Yes, we’ll have to see how it goes.

[@Biolo-G_KJ]

As the person who gave the critique. It's not about the breeding alone. Bacterial issues, inmense breeding stress, higher feeding difficulty with appropriate nutrion are all factors. The best option are rainchambers or temporary floods for 2 weeks orso. But a constant water feature for months is not a good idea and none of the good glassfrog breeders use this for a reason. The frogs don't live above streams. They just breed there. That's it. I've bred many glassfrogs and I let people know this isn't a good option. I let Reptiliatus know many times. He hasn't bred them and is still doing the same nonsense that all experts do not recommend to do. At the end of the day it's his choice but smart is something else. There are basically 0 good reasons to do it and a ton on why not to do it. So I'm just constantly flabbergasted by these questionable decisions that simply ignore the opinion of experts.

[@sydneywachtler9327]

Awesome video 🎉 I would love a tropical/ jungle type of palaudarium. When a I have more experience I want to build one for frogs or a semi aborial lizard ❤ one day I also want to go "full technology" like imitating rain, storm, sunsets and so on😍

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! That would be cool! What species do you think you would want to keep in it?

[@connorcostello3864]

I like makeing a lush planted tank where the tank and hard scape and plants are the focal point for animals that don’t move much. Like a packman frog.

[@RC_Murphy]

I have 2 terrariums on my bucket list. The first is a large terrarium (with a removeable divider) for a mating pair of black-breasted leaf turtles. The second is a setup for some "El Cope" dart frogs-I fell in love with them at the reptile show a few weeks ago and they've been on my mind nonstop since.

[@Reptiliatus]

Those sound like great projects/ideas! Happy to hear you have G. spengleri! All the best with your breeding endeavours! Thank you for sharing!

[@RC_Murphy]

@@Reptiliatus Don't have any yet. I want to build and season the enclosures first. Hopefully I can get the frog enclosure built soon. The googly eyed ones will have to wait until I can save up. It's quite the investment.

I love that video! Maybe you explain it in a different video, but how do you manage the humidity in the room you have these vivariums in? Like talking about moist in the room and prevent maybe even molding off the walls

What an ADORABLE species, I can't wait to see how they do in their enclosure, and I can't wait to see how it grows in more.

[@alexallen9640]

Nice set up for your Glass Frogs. To answer your question, I like a naturalist terrarium of lush green vegetation. For a enclosure I would do a desert build for a Leopard Gecko. 🙂👍🐸

[@AlliterationC]

I have a paludarium that I love immensely but my favorite thing is adding a bit of whimsy. My crested gecko has a refurbished china cabinet that I used 2nd hand tea cups and saucers as ledges and a teapot as a hide. It is bioactive with plants as well 😊.

[@maxpelle]

Love the glass frogs! Instead, they were born to me a lot of dendrobates azureus for the first time! I’m in love with them 😅

[@reubendaly827]

Qotd: my favorite type of setup is a fully lush rainforest setup, such as the cloud forest vivarium mike tytula has showcased, where every inch is covered in greenery and most of the setup is nondescript plants that add to the feel. Also, I went to a reptile expo last weekend with the project mini dragon merch, and someone recognized it! Your influence is far reaching!

[@kinshasa2001]

They are so freaking adorable! I love their new home. My dream paludarium would be to have a giant one with guppies, shrimp, turtles, garter snakes, lizards, and frogs! Like I said dream because that would probably be just a few turtles and snakes after a month lol. Right now I have guppies and shrimp, but maybe in a few years I'll add a frog or turtle to my tiny zoo. Thank you for sharing your amazing collection!

[@ameliaalva1549]

[@aurora_dawn123]

I love building paludarium/riparium style enclosures, and jungle type arr gorgeous, but theres just some other sort of beauty about building an arid setup.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

I think a paludaruim is the most complete ecosystem that mimics nature. Love them and would like one with moss frogs! On the other hand I do love the bigger reptiles like my Burmese en retic and ofcourse the monitor lizards. I would really love a huge jungle enclosure for a breeding pair of Varanus macraei... But they're so expensive!

You can also elevate the increase of temp in the enclosure by not rest the light fixture on the top of enclosure and allow a airspace between so the heat a can dissipate

[@Cgraseck]

Looks like it is time to start monsoon season. Can you use that paludarium as a rain chamber? Good luck. Cheers, Chris

[@lunarminx]

More tropical. My bearded dragon is bioactive along with my anole's tropical, I have food growing in the bearded dragon's tank. I love lots of plants and a outgoing group of powdered oranges running around all day. I've given her chard, mustard, kale, various leafy lettuces. I've added regrowing celery bottoms and they look like trees. I sow microgreens in there too.

[@Pollenoverponds]

Qotd: paludarium all the way. What could be better?! But I also love when there’s a little story. A nurse log, or island, or waterfall. Even slightly gimmicky, like a ship wreck, ancient ruins, or alien word. I always fantasize about doing a desert design for a sand boa with a collection of interesting stones and crystals. So it looks like a star trek alien world :) But I also love mineralogy and star trek, so that’s a personal Venn diagram of my interests :)

[@djsfish6296]

Oh my gosh these frogs are o cute - I've never seen them before I started watching your channel because a year a go I got a Crested gecko. Now I've inheriting a baby crescent gecko, do to the fact it was at a pet shop & she lost her tail upon her arrival at the pet shop, which made her not sellable according to the pet shop. Now I need to learn more about taking care of a baby Crescent gecko....

[@bobkob]

I like Forest Vivarium builds ( both decidious and especially Tropical Rainforest Biome themed Ones) I like to keep Brookesia Stumpffi as a Critter for a moderate dry during day / humid at night with humid logs,leaf piles,etc. decidious North Madagascar Forest Vivarium while for Tropical East Madagascar themed Rainforest either a Carpet Chameleon or Brookesia Thieli; aside from Chameleons , I also like Cave Geckos ( which I would keep in a more humid Decidious forest themed East Asian Rainforest Biome )and New Caledonian Geckos ( tropical more humid at night/ dry out during day South Pacific Rainforest themed biome) as well.

[@Foogle..]

If I had the space and resources I'd love to do a jungle bioactive paludarium setup, that would house Vampire Crabs at ground level with either some lovely geckos or small frogs in the arboreal section. Springtails and Isopods in the substrate section to eat up the animal waste and any mold/dying plant matter.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

They're so cool, and tiny. Are they fully grown? What an amazing pet. It's cool to have a viv with several individuals living in it, as opposed to just a single crestie or whatever.

to be honest my favorite type of enclosures are bioactive ones that closely mimic the natural habitat of the species, basically biotopes, I think they are best since that way you can see the animal more closely to how you would find them in nature, not only that but it lends itself to more natural behaviours, things they might not do unless they are in their natural habitat.
