Reptile room tour over 70 animals!

[@Vivoterra_Design]

Thank you everyone for commenting! I just wanted to clarify a few things here because of all the attention. Last year I started a reptile breeding and enclosure building business with one of my friends. However a month ago he had an unexpected cross country move leaving me with an additional 40 animals to take care of in the course of a single weekend. This happened right in the middle of university finals season along with the beginning of the landscaping season which is my main source of income. Luckily since this video was posted I was a vendor at a local reptile expo and was able to sell of many of the animals that were left with me. This will help take a load off of my plate and will allow for me to properly maintain my current collection.🙏

[@bile897]

Basically all your enclosures need maintenance. Don’t forget why you love them. Maybe downsize in owning. Good luck.

[@Chaotic4Exotics]

Having a collection and trying to maintain enclosures all the time is alot of time and expense

[@RuhRoeRaggie]

100% try down sizing. Every tank needs maintenance and you seem to be struggling at keeping up with that. It seems like you enjoy your animals, so don’t forget why you go into them.

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I 100% percent agree, my business partner had a surprise cross country move last month and I took over everything that he wasn't able to sell literally doubling my collection in a single weekend. It was definitely a little overwhelming.

[@devonhoward8397]

Landlord won't let you have an aquarium? That's crazy. Lol

[@jaredstahli8975]

Dude I used to have that same blanket! It just brought so much nostalgia

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I think I've had it since I was 8

[@100percentonyoutube]

respect on you taking care of your homies pets tho

[@desisarod]

hate how you have those leopard geckos

[@ballistic350]

I agree. Hopefully he gets it fixed soon

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I hate it too, my business partner bought them wholesale for our March reptile expo and we only sold one of them. Luckily I sold half of them this past weekend at another expo and hopefully will be selling the rest this weekend. I never wanted to keep animals in a rack system and don't plan on doing it again.

[@KieranDunbar-r5z]

Chill out he said that is was temporary. He also said that he cares for them daily.

[@MartyHamp-w8g]

I don’t see a problem

[@jj.2prettyyy]

@@ballistic350He isn't doing any "fixing" because the geckos are being sold like he said he hates it too its temporary and he never wants to do it again because he doesn't like it so no changes are being made to that rack they are just being adopted they aren't living like that forever

[@raffertycoulter1284]

Love the video, amazing channel and content, keep it up!

[@chroniclesofab6206]

just out of curiosity, why are you switching from drylok to mortar?

[@Vivoterra_Design]

@chroniclesofab6206 mostly time and durability. Morar requires a lot less steps and can have more detail with less carve time and mess

[@Geckologic]

Underrated channel!

[@dylanbowman3685]

couldn’t even clean the glass for us smh

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Sick!

[@pinkprincessoftheinternet]

Right!

[@joeylapuma5937]

Couldn’t even wipe down the doors before the vid...? All enclosures look super neglected

[@Vivoterra_Design]

@joeylapuma5937 If you are talking about the dart frog tank, I leave those doors like that on purpose. The alge growth helps the frogs to climb the glass easier and gives them more privacy.

[@Ayman-wh1ub]

you are cool

[@pinkprincessoftheinternet]

I don't know how your not famous ur pet reptile collection is almost like a mini zoo it's so cool

[@Vivoterra_Design]

Thank you, I like to keep more unique reptiles and design enclosures to specifically fit their needs.

[@mr.mothyx8565]

Good ''colection'' xdd, and it seems they are in good hands👍

[@pinkprincessoftheinternet]

He definitely takes care of them well

[@Josephlouisu]

That’s not my real voice guys😳

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Holy calcified glass stains, you gotta switch to purified water bro Vinegar and a razor blade should clean the glass right up and it will need to be done occasionally, but it would be worth it to have your beautifully planted and scaped tanks on display 😊 otherwise your enclosures look great I enjoyed watching this video and will subscribe if you post more. Haven't checked out your channel yet this is the first video I stumbled upon. Edit: end of your video you answered that, subbed. Also, don't hesitate to downsize if need be

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I try to clean my glass monthly, unfortunately I live in an area that has pretty hard water even with a water softener.

[@blainecarter856]

How do you make your arid substrate radd?

[@Vivoterra_Design]

@@blainecarter856 I use a mix of top soil, sand, excavator clay, and stone and desert substrate.

[@Allthingsweirdnwonderful]

Do you Cohab your cresties all year round?

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I do, I've kept them apart before but I haven't seen much of a difference in behavior. Plus by cohabbing them I get surprise babies every once in a while.

[@roberthgggrolman742]

Id be having tour friend come help a day a week with maintenance man. Or have him come drop off the uvbs you need. I got a huge collection sd well and i work 50 hrs a week as well. I work on my tanks every day after work till about midnight atleast. So i can relate to the amount of work and money that goes into it. But your friend should be helpinh out if your having a hard time man Wish you the best brother, was good of you to help him out

[@Vivoterra_Design]

Haha, yeah the reason I had all of his animals was because he had just moved cross country a month earlier than planned and had to get rid of everything with a weeks notice because of work, I've since sold all the animals that he left with me and life is much easier.

[@fiercereptiles]

You look high asf buddy

[@Vivoterra_Design]

@fiercereptiles1259 bro that's the problem with having a red skin undertone, im tired, looks high, touch my eyes, look high. Life long problem.

[@fiercereptiles]

@@Vivoterra_Designit’s all good man I was just saying shit I was watching your video while I was smoking a fatty

[@chillibun2072]

Okay i have nothing against ur care for ur reptiles u have cool looking Enclosures but i could be wrong but it looks like u might be struggling to keep up with maintenance for every enclosure. Those glass stains really need to be cleaned its not terrible for the animal its self but if they were clean it would be more aesthetically pleasing to look at and would make ur tanks look alot nicer too. Again its just my theory by looking at ur tanks but if that is the case than slow down a bit. Allso about the leopard geckos i rlly dont like how you are keeping them. I know you said they will be kept there temporary but still it looks sad. im not saying you go buy 40 gal tanks for each and every one of them but what i would want you to do is place them in a bigger plastic containers and add in hides aswell a water dish. Atleast 3 hides . So while they are with you they dont have to live in those tiny plastic containers with nothing in them.

[@Vivoterra_Design]

I've responded to a couple other comments on the leopard geckos but I 100% agree with you. I never wanted to have these leopard geckos but got stuck with them after my business partner bought them to sell at a reptile expo (we sold one) and then he moved cross country leaving them with me. Since this video I've sold half of them and should be selling the rest this weekend but have hated this whole experience.

[@AlexandraSimpson-o7h]

Doesn't seem to be a single tank that isn't either dirty, inappropriate (too small, faulty equipment, no hides/ plants) and also at least one animal that has been taken from the wild to live in that. Please hand them to someone responsible and find a new hobby.

[@nicholaskeyler7397]

How slow are you? Read his reply's to other comments, he took on his partners collection doubling his collection in one weekend, fuck off and try to not be such a dick have a bad day😙

[@Dirty_one_67]

That room must smell extremely bad

[@Vivoterra_Design]

@Dirty_one_67 everything is bioactive meaning it has insect cleaning crews that remove mess and smell. Having live plants also significantly decrease any remaining smell.
