    Hi, I have just waterproofed a new wooden vivarium with your video from 3 years ago (thank you for these videos, they have been really helpful); in that video you put the proplex protection sheet with its print downwards, I just assumed that's fine and preferred the cleanness of just black so did that. After doing all of it I and sealing it all I then see the print on the scraps saying 'this side up' and you doing so in your other videos like this one.... have I messed up? are there any issues with glueing the print side down when waterproofing vivariums like you did 3 years ago??

    • @norwichreptileshed
      @norwichreptileshed 2 месяца назад

      Hi, as far as I can tell the proplex is the same either way up, especially for the purpose of what we are using it for. I normally lay it print side down just so it looks clean.

  • @JenWOneNnifer
    @JenWOneNnifer 4 месяца назад

    Lovely job replicating one of their natural settings. The hognose snakes in the pet trade (H. nasicus) are native to a wide range of environments, including the semi-arid ones your enclosure mimics. But in the US upper Midwest, they tend to overwinter in rodent burrows on the prairies that they live on in spring and autumn. If they have the opportunity, many will migrate to be nearer to wetlands and ponds in summer, where their favorite food (amphibians) is most abundant, and the ground temperature stays more comfortable for them. So there are a variety of options for giving them naturalistic enclosures, like grassland and shrub biomes, or greenery that won't be uprooted by their burrowing in a typical bioactive vivarium.

This was so helpful, I’m moving my 2 tortoises in for autumn/winter and I’ve been looking at buying a fresh vivarium to do this but I didn’t realise just how expensive they’ve got - literally even just for flat pack! But after watching this video I’m definitely looking at building my own, as you were very informative & made it look possible! Is there a way you could link the video that you said you had about putting the flooring in at the end as it didn’t come up for me? Also is there any videos on fitting a viv with electrics? Thank you so much :) keep on with this channel its great 😊

      I'm glad you found me! If you search my channel for "waterproofing a wooden vivarium" that's the video about the flooring, it's in my DIY vivariums playlists. As for your tortoises, you don't have to build vivariums for them, in fact they do much better on table set ups, plus they are much easier to build! I cover electrics on most of my builds but I don't have a dedicated video as they all differ slightly depending on species.
