Lol I cringed every time you said adhere. It's not pronounced like "a deer"
Other than that, this was a great build
yooo this is so dope !!
Typical grumpy gecko. I inherited two Tokay Geckos several years ago. They were super cranky, but they also had personalities and they would leave serious wounds if they got a hold of you. They also barked which was very entertaining.
This looks SOO good, but do you need a background?
ā¤ā¤ā¤
Guys I need help , there's roaches in my geckos vivarium. Is the only option to get rid of all the plants ?
Thats a beautiful vivarium setup. The Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Light Bars are great and really bright. I'm in the process of setting up a new vivarium for my Sudan Plated Lizards at the moment. I have a few plants for it but it's going to be pretty dry and I was wondering if the volcanic product would be useful particularly around the plants. So far I've got a Haworthia, a Ponytail Palm and some ornamental Grass. It's quite a large vivarium measuring 72x36x24 inches.
amazing job kayla….
That crested is confused and must think its a Tokay
Do you have the link for the LED light you used?
Which led strip and bulb did you get I worry about wattage because I know they donāt like Heat so I prefer to get the ones youāve gotten šš
0:58 š
How do I keep the wood from getting moldy over time? Iāve build a background, but the wood got moldy, so I had to take it out.
amazing, i am looking to try my hand at creating my own Viv environment and this is a perfect training video
That set up is amazing! So beautiful. Your gecko is funny.
AdHere š
Amazing process! Definitely a work of art! Also your little demon is interesting.
Get him a girlfriend.š
XD what a Charakter! Great video thanks for Sharing
You didnāt wash off the fertilizer off the roots?
Sorry to do this but it is AD-Here not adeer. You have said this incorrectly in several videos.
I am going to my first reptile expo in 2 weeks! , I have been doing tons of research and I am very much anticipating purchasing one. This would be my dream setup! I am going to try to do it but it would be my first bio active build! Any other tips for a beginner? Also, awesome vid Kayla. Iām subscribing! Also your gecko has quite the personality!š¤£
Whereās the bark from?
Absolutely my favorite bioactive how-to video!! Iāve saved it and watched it several times. I look back on it for reference more times than I can count. Absolutely wonderful video! And love groot!!š¤£
Do you ever have to do a big clean every 2 weeks with that setup? Love your videos
Grroooooootttttt!
He want to bite your cake
Vivarium isn't a real word
I know this was a year ago, but how long did you have to wait for: 1) the expanding foam to set before carving 2) the silicone to cure and 3) before placing your gecko in? Thank you! I live this build ā¤
Hi may I ask, when you adding the moss on the backgroud did you applied silicone in order to stick the moss firmly on the surface of peat moss?
Wow this is a stunning build!! I'm getting a Leachie soon and i hope i can make something this pretty š
I was blessed with a sweet crested gecko. Although he is super skittish and doesnāt really like being handled he sometimes waits for me to come replace his food and must his tank. Love this build by the way, it looks so good! I plan on doing something like this once my crestie is old enough to get a larger tank. Thanks for the inspiration!
There still need to be heat lamps right? My room is in the basement and it gets really cold all the time. Can I also put heating pads on the outside of the walls?
So the dirt in the back of the enclosure is enough to sustain the plants that you place in there? I plan on doing the same but i thought it would be a pretty thin layer.
Loved this video. Very informative and entertaining. Groot is amazing.
Love the set up! Iām looking into making one for my crested but I can never seem to find good hardscape, do you have any recommendations for where to get some?
Where do you keep your geckos when you are building their terrarium
And also where do you get the climbing wood from
Hi, I'm working on a bioactive for my crested gecko and your video has been really helpful! Are there any UVB and grow lights you recommend? I need something that will work well for an 18x18x24 tank. Thanks!
May I ask, what do you believe to be the best lighting for bioactive to keep plants alive?
So, the plants near the top don't need to be planted in soil?
Loved this. I have a tokay and gargoyle I'm looking to do new enclosures for, and this is encouraging me to do my own instead of buying the substrate kits. So much money to save, and I'd rather spend that time workibng with my kids as well.
Hey! Was wondering where you got your enclosure from? Iāve been searching for one and itās proving difficult š I tried to find if you already answered this question but I couldnāt find it
