Venomous Tree Viper Bioactive Jungle Vivarium

[@SerpaDesign]

I'm always open to do setup for animals that I don't have if I know someone who does. Let me know what you want to see in the future! Also let me know what you think about the build down in the comments. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Could we see a scorpion enclosure please?

Hi Tanner ,I just want to thank you again for the tank from Aquashella the shrimp are doing great along with the plants sincerly Finn and Dad

[@emmacavalier]

I love how the snakes are kept in bioactive enclosures rather than the usual plastic drawers that some snake owners have.

[@cocolocobirb981]

The plastic drawers are for breeding, most people don’t keep their actual pet snakes in a bin. but even if they do, if they are a good keeper, they will provide enrichment for them.

[@ryderreptile]

@@cocolocobirb981 yeah i agree, if people can’t put the effort into a good enclosure even if they are breeders they should not have them.

Yeah not as lucky as other snakes that only have their natural habitats in jungles to call home. (since these environments are being destroyed by humans).

[@OtterThing]

People here love being sarcastic, huh 💀 This was definitely really awesome tho

[@bundlesofjoe]

I love how compared to some of your other projects this is a great beginners project. No expensive tools, no cutting class, no massive time delays from having to attach like 20 different things with silicone for structural support, no major modifications to the enclosure, and a relatively small amount of components especially considering how dense it looks. This is an affordable, easy to replicate, and beautiful set up. One of your top 5, granted nothing can top the 600 unless you make like say a 1,200 gallon aquarium and go find a Picture of underwater in a river and replicate it as much as possible even down to plant and hardscape placement. Which you should totally do. If anyone can do it it's you.

[@Misskittyclimber]

Its because of this channel that I felt like I could build one for my American bullfrog, and did successfully. Sometimes I look at it and can't believe I made it lol I pulled pretty much all of the know-how from him and pulled off a lake edge habitat

[@ThaBeatConductor]

Vipers might be the most beautiful of all snakes, the scales are crazy, especially when some of the body/skin color peaks through them. I would love to have one, but I'd always want to hold it. :(

[@backwoodsvenom]

The atheris species are all amazing to keep even without being able to hold them

[@gardnerediting6965]

Who says you can’t free handle them🤔👀

[@ThaBeatConductor]

@@gardnerediting6965 Just get some antivenin made from the snake, keep it on hand, should be good right?

@@nathanlitjens5905 It's not too hard to do a drip feed setup with an IV. Just need the proper equipment. Not worth just to hold a snake though. Also, my reply was mostly /s. xD

[@ajmeraki4029]

I watch a lot of diorama and tabletop game crafting videos, and it's kind of surprising just how much the two hobbies overlap in the materials and skills used. Just one year ago I never in a million years would have guessed that insulation foam of all things could be such a versatile artistic medium. I love reptiles, but I also just love how you can take such mundane hardware store materials and turn them into such high-grade animal enclosures.

[@extraordinary_ordinary]

It's a beautiful build, however, I feel that it is a little small in size to house three animals.

[@mirandaschalen]

thinking the same.

My favorite thing about this is how the wood has a twisting, snakelike quality, which is fitting.

[@crazyladyjess9446]

Thank you so much Tanner for your help in creating reptile jungles!! My crested gecko, Luna now has a dream jungle once it stops smelling. Its getting better every day. You have truly encouraged me to be bold and go for a natural build that should hopefully last for a very long long time. Shame I can't show you! Jess and Luna 👍🏻🤩

[@etcktryd]

Love that you used a wood from Africa where they're from. Details like that help show how much thought and care you put into your builds. Thanks for including Will's reaction! It was great to see.

[@BriSessions]

I will likely never own a reptile and don't particularly feel like I'd want to - but they are wonderful animals, and I'm obsessed with your videos. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful build. I am always so enchanted by them.

[@themurrrr]

Gorgeous vipers and you built them a home worthy of their beauty.

[@Erissa]

Those vipers are some of my favorite hots. Just absolutely gorgeous animals, but not something I would ever feel confident trying to keep myself. The enclosure design looks so pretty and natural. No wonder they settled right in.

[@billymacaraeg7761]

awesome snakes especially the scales they have, they do deserve a great build that you've made 😁,

I might have put the doors on before the venomous snakes, though!

[@arsenichubich6647]

how about they deserve to live in the wildlife?

[@kboi272]

@@arsenichubich6647 don’t know a lot about snakes but no, but if they are captive bred they definitely can’t go in the wild, wouldn’t that mean by that logic that dogs or cats need to get put in the wild

Wow, the thumbnail for this video was GORGEOUS!!!

[@shevaunhandley1543]

To be honest, I would love to see what you would do with at least one enclosure at Snake Discovery's zoo 🥰 I love your builds and to see your work evolve from their original base is always a fascination for me.

[@blus1028]

Those snakes are stunning!! This is one of my favourites of your builds tbh!

[@reptilez13]

South American Pit Vipers and Bush Vipers are awesome. Eyelash vipers, Squams, all of em are awesome. Glad Will got such a nice build for them!!

Will's reaction at the end of the video was one of the most wholesome things I've seen this week. Also, the way Tanner credits Will every time he had a part in the project is how a collab should be done (but sadly aren't most of the time).

[@shivamroy1775]

Is it possible to build natural-looking bio-active terrariums/enclosures for small pets like mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc? That would be so amazing.

[@snekysneks]

I have seen videos for a bioactive hamster setup.

[@arriitv1716]

In theory yes, however, mammals produce a hell of a lot more waste than reptiles, and as such would need a much much larger enclosure to be fully bioactive to allow for the nutrients/chemicals in the substrate to balance themselves out over longer periods of time. Its completely possible, however many believe it's less than practical.

[@chemistrykrang8065]

I'm sure I've seen that sort of thing described for gerbils - they don't produce much urine in comparison to other rodents so that might be a factor.

[@themute9354]

Yes, you can have a very natural and nice bioactive setup for them. But you’d have to clean up their poop and everything like that, it can’t be 100% dependant on the bioactive system because of the animals large bioload. They love natural enclosures!

[@minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531]

I have seen it but they are much larger enclosures

[@DougHoffman]

Curious about a few things: tank hydration -- how will your friend keep the humidity up, and will it endanger that African violet (since they're sensitive to water on the leaves)? Also wondering how he's going to feed them -- whether he'll feed in the cage or outside of the cage.

[@Psych.o.delica]

yes I'm also super interested to know about this :)

[@mariubjallakata3685]

I was searching for this comment!

[@Astrodevil]

African violets love high humidity, the problem is, as you mentioned, the water on the leaves. If droplets are left on the foliage and are exposed to light, the leaves will burn :( (Otherwise the set up is VERY nice)

[@arcanenoodle45]

Snakes should be fed in cage, and responsible venomous keepers are going to feed in the enclosure to reduce the chances of a human bite or a snake regurgitating. With that said, feeding cohabitated snakes is a bit tougher, but if you are quick and deliberate, you can get all the inhabitants working on their own meal before they even think of stealing their tank-mates' food.

[@capuchinosofia4771]

I literally just commented the same lol, i tried to keep some and they are *really* sensitive to water in the leaves (or the leaves touching humid soil too) i wonder if they will survive

Love this setup so much! I’m a little worried about the cohabitation, snakes usually aren’t the best with that. it can really stress them and or lead to fighting between them although that being said, I’m not too familiar with vipers so it could be completely fine !

[@ryderreptile]

Pit vipers tend to be a lot better with cohabitation than other groups/species but it can definitely lead to problems without enough space provided.
