Bioactive Gargoyle Gecko Vivarium

[@SerpaDesign]

Got anyone at Aquashella I'll see you there!

[@NaturesWhim]

hello sir please Greet me in you next upload. more power!

[@PikaRaichupikapika]

Are all these plants safe to use for crested geckos too?

[@travmendoza]

Saitama One Punch Man he has a video about his bio active Crested Gecko enclosure, you can check it out if you’re interested. He tells what plants he uses for his cage.

[@septerz2968]

Hi I’m thinking about getting anoles can you make a video about them?

[@PikaRaichupikapika]

@@travmendoza yes I know. But I was wondering if these plants like the bird nest fern was also safe for cresties

[@karlsnow9133]

You are the Bob Ross of terrariums, my friend. Keep it up!

Bob Moss.

[@rowan2356]

Freedom Anderson niceee

[@lalylaly27]

he's great at making these set ups... but he's not putting "happy little moss bushes, ever so gently, here and there." It shouldn't be that easy to replicate Bob Ross.

[@Portnowthrifts]

Karl Snow he is bob moss

Such a beautiful tank I aspire to be able to build something like this for my geckos when my budget allows me to!

[@enriquesexotics9095]

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Great work, gave me so many ideas for future tank builds! :)

The legendary, Leopard Gecko? :o I love Diegos new 80 gallon, it turned out so well!

[@logantheone_8340]

You’ve inspired me throughout the years to make a variety of different terrariums, vivariums, pauladariums and aquariums. Thank you

[@suzieronfell7260]

This is why my red eye tree frog vivarium is so good because I watch you😂

[@poldoll5683]

This is so beautiful, I love how you make it look so natural and earthy. I bet your home just looks amazing with all those terrariums, vivariums, and fish tanks. So much green!! You should do a tour of your home. I'd watch for sure.

[@its95CZR]

You should have way more views for the talent and amount of work you dedicate to your creations! It’s the first time I say this to a youtuber! You inspired me to build terrariums for my geckos and beardies, all the best to you Tanner!

[@jessicajagged8]

A friend of mine just recommended your channel to me and YES! I am so stoked to see someone has made a bio-active enclosure for a gargoyle!! I really hope to re-do mine's home especially now that I have seen this.

[@bobkob]

I love that with the coco fiber “ cloth” siliconed to the side walls, Great video also,

[@aurorasurrealis1032]

Finallyyy I have been waiting for this video since you first introduced her to us! Amazing work as always!

[@AbRealProduction]

This one has always been in and it still is my favorite of all your videos because it's the one that shows so much variety and ease when it comes to this stuff it's really inspiring

[@felinelover101]

Thank you for doing a gecko build so full of vines and branches! Too often we see planted gecko vivariums that don't have nearly enough hiding or climbing spots for geckos. Great build as usual! :)

[@SJ_scoots]

Actually might be buying a gargoyle gecko and this helped to try make its enclosure look good

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

The hard scape on this one is wonderful, perfect for a New Caledonian gecko

[@Primenumber19]

Get some Madagascan day geckos! Giant, standings or gold dust you can’t go wrong!

[@reptilez13]

As beautiful as Day Geckos are, and one of my favorites, they are definitely more of a "show" gecko, especially compared to Gargs or Crested. The latter are far more handleable, though I hear the Neon Day Geckos are safer to handle if they don't run from ya lol. But yeah, Day Geckos are beautiful.

[@Primenumber19]

@@reptilez13 my favorite female standings day gecko lived 22 years and was perfectly content being hand fed. But I never understood the obsession with handling reptiles for kicks, it was something I never ever did. You build a beautiful vertical tank and enjoy the living art spectacle.

[@chiuanson3431]

I love it!!🥰 Love from Malaysia here~ Hope can see Asian Forest Scorpion tank setup!❤️

[@wxlurker]

The way you made the vines is brilliant. Great build as usual.

[@AquariumKnowhow]

I am always amazed at how much stuff you can cram into an enclosure, and at the end it always turns out amazing. you are an inspiration! keep up the good work.

[@mcbridemotorsports5788]

I have that same setup. I turned mine into Paludarium for my tree frogs Edit: Who in their right mind would give this Video a thumbs down?

[@arielt.375]

When you realize that a gecko lives in a better “room” than you do.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Tfw no kindly giant to take care of you

[@ZaDussault]

Btw, boiling cork bark smells awesome, so worth doing anyway. I personally steam them in the oven for one hour at 300F (I add water if more is needed). Smells wonderful

[@lindsayclark6453]

Very new to your channel, I’ve never made or knew I’d been interested in the scapes you make, I don’t keep reptiles etc, but I love your channel; it’s relaxing and beautiful to watch. Thanks, Linds, Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alabasterkros]

It's so cool! Worth the wait. She will be very happy in her new home ✌

[@NitroxNova]

my only regret is I'm running out of builds to watch, I guess I'll have to watch them all again lol, Love your channel, I've learned so much!

[@nneichan9353]

Wow, that looks really good!

[@AQUAPROS]

Im coming down stairs dude, one sec.

[@robinpoulton3352]

Just seen this video very helpful. I had thought of using hot glue to temporarily hold things in place before I foamed them in but had always thought the glue might crack the glass because of the heat.. Never too old to learn something new.

[@TheSwanbear]

Maybe a video about pet safe plants? I have birds, and finding safe, non-toxic plants for my home has been a bit of a challenge. How does one know what's safe to use with different species? Anyway beautiful build as usual, you have such an eye for detail! Very inspiring, can't wait to see more!

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

Can’t wait to see the gecko enjoy its new home.

[@Satoshi.Yakicorn]

This is like How It’s Made but more interesting haha

[@georgegriffiths1437]

these builds always blow me away

[@RoseKazable]

If I was a gecko, I'd be happy as a pig in mud living there. It's gorgeous.

[@HH-kl8ed]

Heck even if I wasn’t a gecko I’d be blessed to live in there

[@jey_washere501]

Looks a lot like a crested! So cute!

[@DreCargill93]

Thank you so much for listening to your viewers! I want to do something similar but for dart frogs. This gave great inspiration for that future project. I’m surprised you haven’t included dart frogs to your animal room yet.

[@benjamin7323]

Wow this is such a great amalgamation of your instructional build videos. Well done Tanner, you keep improving!

[@Halloween4ev]

if you havent already, id love for you to make a video all about the grow lights you use and/or how to make sure your plants are getting enough light in the tanks

[@hobbyscape4433]

Nice vivarium. Love the layout and design. I like how you can use coco fibre for just about anything. Very versatile. Thanks for sharing

[@davidschneider5372]

I wonder if i ever get tired of watching you creating worlds. 👍

[@SerpaDesign]

Hopefully not!

[@themalaymenagerie3350]

AWWWWW YIISSSSSSSS Haven't watch the whole thing but I bet it'd be cool Edit: ITS AWESOME!

[@whisperingdragon4194]

The Malay Menagerie Spoiler, it’s great.

[@angelibarra5916]

@@whisperingdragon4194 I think they finished watching this way before u commented 🤣

[@PredictableEnigma]

I never knew you could make the vines yourself. Way better than buying them at pet supply places

[@owenberg3366]

Dude, I was wondering how to build a vivarium out of my 18 by 18 by 24, and then I saw your video pop up. I have a gargoyle, and I love your videos, Keep it up dude, you're great at what you do

[@trenthobson2756]

Great job making this vivarium. It looks really pretty, and I'm sure that your gargoyle gecko will love it.

[@irenebencomo3809]

Your gecko is going to love it. It is beautiful. Great job!!!

[@spoondancer2230]

This channel makes me so angry, why do you only have 370k subscribers? You've inspired me to create so much!

[@RadioactuveToy]

Great work! I can't wait to do a large setup with orchids, ferns and bromeliads for my gargoyle geckos.

[@hannahh6793]

You are an artist! I loooove watching you do your setups and it's so relaxing too! Maybe tranquil is the word? Either way, it looks amazing can't wait until your gecko moves in! 🌿🌱🦎💚

[@aptexotics4216]

I love your designs, they are like living works of art. Great job!

[@taylawithan_a]

Definitely the inspiration I needed right now, I'm upgrading my crestie from her already big tank to another one that is almost twice the height and I can't wait to start building it!!!

[@torquess454]

Love these bio active setups, I find some so busy though, I’d want to be able to find and watch my babies, so if I did one they’d certainly have hiding areas, but not so much that it decreases the amount of their space to move around or so I’d never see them

[@mentalmonk3y479]

your videos have me wanting a bio active viv. and this little guy might just be the ticket.

[@tinksmith4964]

Literally the only thing I’d do differently is maybe painting the glass before sticking all that stuff to it so the back looks better if exposed

[@queso_and_dragons]

I love these videos so much! I think it's always 800% better for me and the animal(s) when the setup is very naturalistic and aesthetically pleasing. Well done!

[@SerpaDesign]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferward9483]

These! 😎 you taught us years ago how to make manage and take care of our first tanks years ago! It's great to see how many subscribers you have. How far you have come. Really awesome. You are like the most intelligent person on all of this and helped get us started with all our creatures. Again I wish you the absolute best! 😎

[@saltycat262]

been waiting for an update on this cute lil guy!

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

This is a really nice build! You never cease to amaze me. And I’m sure your gecko loves it. Also it was great meeting you at aquashella! You were so kind in person.

[@SerpaDesign]

Pleasure to meet you as well!

[@WhoTheHellIsHarvy]

I was waiting for this one for a while! It looks awesome nice job Tanner.

[@SerpaDesign]

Hopefully it was worth the wait.

[@ummguy5548]

Every video I watch I’m just a little more amazed

[@HedoBum]

CLR is a better option for clearing off the buildup the glass. That stuff works awesome.

[@benjamingoulet8059]

That’s going to be one happy gecko! I used to have a pair of tokay geckos, they’re awesome geckos if you have ever get another 🦎

[@BaardieL]

I recently made a terrarium in a 1.5L jar, it looked quite cool and I even had some isopods in with a millipede (Lithobiidae, it was in with the moss I brought in), everything was going great until I noticed one change in the isopods behaviour. It started to climb the Common haircap moss i had planted in the back and would sit there for hours and then when it got dark they would rummage around eat some stuff then go back down into the bottom as they created lots of many tunnels and escapes which were very cool to look at from the side. I woke up today to find all 6 isopods dead and the millipede dead with some wriggling parasites near their corpses almost like they wanted to be eaten. I was actually quite upset, rechecked after work now and those small worms are gone (they were skinny and white), about 4 of them had disappeared into the soil so now my terrarium is littered with corpses and mysterious parasites hidden inside. Have you ever had a similar experience?

[@judieg705]

Imagine being his wife and going to see what is cookin in the kitchen and u see.... bark 😂 love this channel

[@charlottewilliams4875]

Stunning! Fabulous set up.

[@NicK-qc6nm]

This gecko is living the dream

[@fangfang8029]

do you still have your gecko?

[@PredictableEnigma]

I've been waiting for this! I bet the gecko will love how many hiding spots there are. Cool to see that you still made something awesome even with the exoterra front blocking the view.

[@SerpaDesign]

I really didn't want to use the tank tbh, but I also think it turned out well considering the less than ideal viewing area.

[@PredictableEnigma]

@@SerpaDesign maybe you could disguise it with a thin peice of wood or something? Burn her name into it or make it look more natural with hardscape materials

[@RecordableID]

Wow, that's a great terrarium Tanner! I love how you created a dark and dense undergrowth with lots of hiding places and a canopy drenched in sunlight. Your Gargoyle is spoiled =)

[@xtremeham]

Orange iosopods looked so cool

[@leila1662]

Love the custom cup holder! ..and the orange iso's are so cute, hope the gecko won't eat them...

[@emilwoemmel3722]

so a neat home for the gecko

[@carlzcomedystuffstandup9383]

I hope the previous owner loves the new set up too

[@Frogge]

These are my favourite videos!

[@Brucelovesjulie]

Super late to the party, amazing looking build.

[@FatBehaviorReacts]

Why didn't you have to make any modifications to include a drain like in your video in which you convert a ten gallon aquarium into a vertical vivarium? I'm wanting to get into this hobby and have recently purchased most everything that I need to get started but am so confused on why some things are necessary sometimes, but not always. I'm obsessed with your channel, along with AntsCanada, and Exotic's Lair. You guys are great and your videos, while entertaining, are certainly educational.

[@noobpaints6114]

He’s more of an expert than I am, but I believe with these kinds of geckos you don’t necessarily NEED a bulkhead or drain or anything because there won’t be too much water at the bottom. Some people will also use a turkey baster to get excess water out if they need to

[@btdarterschannel112]

Tanner, fantastic build, as always! I gotta get you to use CLR instead of Barkeeper's Friend for calcium removal, though. CLR is safe for human use and won't micro-abrade the glass.😀👍

[@omumacaw754]

I am absolutely enamored with gargoyle geckos, they're going to be my very first pet reptile, and your videos serve as my guideline for crafting her an enclosure that is not only unique, but stunning to look at. Absolutely fantastic work here, even with an exo terra! (I'm not fond of their field of view either, bleh)
