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!

[@SIRO_GLYDER]

Could we see a scorpion enclosure please?

[@gecko2069]

I already know that its gonna be epic

[@captainfinnsbrickchannel5760]

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.

[@cocolocobirb981]

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).

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@ThaBeatConductor]

@@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

[@samveasey3558]

@@ThaBeatConductor there is no antivenom for members of the genus Atheris, though Echis antivenom has helped with bite cases in the passed.

[@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.

[@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.

[@themurrrr]

[@parmerapps69]

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). Those snakes look stunning in your setup - fantastic job Tanner! 👍

[@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!!

[@billymacaraeg7761]

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

[@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

Ive been watching your channel a lot lately. maybe a bit too much because today my brain kept repeating "SUP SERPASQUAD" in your voice lol. Your channel is so inspiring! i could listen to you talk all day. Im a complete beginner thats looking into getting fish or a snake and I have definately learned a lot since i came here. Very grateful

[@blus1028]

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.

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.

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]

~~Drylok's good stuff&a tip,if I may? Get yourself a roller w/3/4" nap,it'll get majority of the piece&cut time by more than half. Since you like using more than one color I suggest simply cutting a 9" into thirds&when you're done? Load it up good&wrap/store it in plastic bag which you can use to take it off the frame also. Make sure any print's on the outside before wrapping in a 2nd bag&seal w/masking tape labeling Drylok Black, Gray etc. Then throw it in the bottom of refrigerator. Do same w/kitchen, living room etc. too. They 'll keep up to a year unused&longer used periodically.
