I said screw paying 15$ in shipping & decided it was better to drive the 45 minutes it takes to get there & buy my Terra Sahara Bioactive & Beardie plant kit & my god man No matter how many times I've seen your showroom on this channel, nothing quite does it justice like seeing it in person. Bravo man, bravo.
Protected by the 2nd amendment… man, the dude gets more and more legit every time I see him. I will definitely continue to give my business to this guy!
Wow you have accomplished so much at such a young age that is fantastic, and its absolutely amazing to see someone doing something they absolutely love good for you that is awesome
The Dude is the best. An Irish Wolfhound?! I have one too, and I love my beardie and his super cool enclosure that I created with Josh's products. I want to visit you and it is now on my bucket list!!
I’m proud of you man. Been following you since before you got your facility and am a customer. Have my snakes and bearded dragons set up well because of you. Appreciate you bro love to see the inside of the facility it looks AMAZING shit I wish I could work there I LOVE reptiles and bio activity
Hey dude, I don't live close to your store, (I'm on the other side of the country) but I wish I could visit, also, what plants would you do in a whites tree frog palidarium
God I wish I lived in TX! Your store is just gorgeous! I'd love to visit. But I'll have to just watch your videos. You make very nice videos, it's like I'm there!
Hey couldn’t get through on phone today will y’all be there all this week, any special hours? We live a few hours away so didn’t want to head over until we verified your schedule, thanks again.
Wow this is great. To take something your passionate about and turn it into a viable business with a like minded passionate staff. It's a very impressive operation and I cant wait to see what you have in store next. The Bio Dude Abides!!!
I heard Tool again! I heard them playing in your last year-end video too (I think it was that one). They’re my favorite forever. 🤘 I love these videos it’s so cool to see you keep growing.
DUDE!!!! I so wish I was closer, your shop looks amazing... Congrats... I ordered my substrate package for my cham, I'm so excited for her to have a great substrate bottom to lay her (infertile) eggs. I am waiting for you to get misting systems back in, as I love buying from small business owners, such as yourself...nothing...NOTHING like you in my area :(
Thank you! We try really hard to provide great products with great service. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer about shipping to CA, as their ag laws currently prevent us from shipping plants.
Really enjoyed the video. Happy to see your business doing well. When I'm ready I'm gonna hit you up on how to make a huge enclosure. Well, on what I will need inside.
Dude! Been watching and following you from the beginning. Your growing fast. Keep up the great work. Noticed the Steeler rug, I’m from the Burgh,boooooom!
Just placed a big order for a bioactive crested gecko kit as well as the additional plant kit!! And some ghost wood. Super excited to get it and give my gecko bioactive! I’m also going to go to a local reptile shop and get some powder blue isopods!

Hey dude, got all my lizards and geckos on your substrate and the plants are doing amazing (except for the fire skink that bulldozed through every single plant and crushed them). Just wondering, how could I get one of those ExoTerra TerraPlex racks it looks so nice please lmk!!
Are your prices the same in store as online? I want to take a ride down and check the store! I am worried about one aspect, though. I use a service dog. Are your furbabies alright with him being in their space?
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter got it, I'm so stoked. Y'all are 3.5 hours away, so I'm planning my epic escape to come down this when ever it's not super cold lol. I am working on my first build now, it's for my hognose, and he's pretty forgiving, so it should be relatively ok if I mess it up 3 or 12 times. Lol
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter follow up question: heating substrate. I'm not super pleased with my heat mats and their penetrative heating ability, do you have ceramic plate heaters or do you suggest not using them? I'm wondering if maybe that or even under floor heating for under the entire tank would be better. Suntouch and Nuheat both make a UL ok under floor heating element for use in residential showers, so I think that may be an option if it isn't under the whole tank. I have hognoses, so burrowing is another big concern.
Question about The styrofoam background that comes in the exo terra tanks , is it safe to keep in? Should I seal the foam with something first? Any tips would be appreciated!!
What do you recommend in terms of plant cleaning and quarantine for big box plants that are going into a terrarium with an animal (tortoise) that might eat it? I’ve read to never use them, to wash and re-pot them and use them, to wash and report them and quarantine them for a year before using them to purge any chemicals. I want to provide my tortoise some plants but I don’t know what the best practice is. Thank you.
Ok this a question the substrate that you created isn’t the substance a risk because it’s loose and the leopard gecko 🦎 literally licks everything and if their licking this everyday won’t it be a risk of impaction (plz let me know)
Wow if you were in California, or I were there, I’d hella support you over the chains. And even some of these “local” animal shops here… horrendous attitudes
….our LFS/herp store has mediocre selection, knowledge, and “over it” service. Some rare workers are passionate and people-persons though. Overall tho... socal = Overpriced (in an unreasonable way), + rarely captive-bred to boot. So yeeeeaaah, I’m jealous of y’all, thanks and great job BioDude👍🏼😁
Also i have a question i couldnt find a tetra fauna 75 gallon tank so im thinking of getting a kages tank but im worried that my beardie will touch the light i install since the light is inside the enclosure so will my beardie get hurt because of it touching the light bulb
I looked up the terrarium aluminum stand system you mention in the video. Can't find it online, what's the exact manufacturer of the stand/condo system you're using in the shop?
I absolutely love this shop but I feel like not enough people are talking about his 2nd amendment remark in the video. It is crazy the idea a plant store(not meant as an insult) would need to be protected with deadly force
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter those masks aren't worthless against virus just next to worthless. against the virus that's deadly 0.003%of the time, lightening strike type odds

The Dude, is beyond cool. lol
i realize I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online ?

Linustechtips but with biology I dig it.
Just let me know when you'll ship to the UK. Lol
You have a great shop. We have very few shops like yours over here.
I’d love to! Unfortunately, shipping regulations, especially regarding dirt, plants, moss, etc, are tough, but I hope to offer it one day!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter it's a 20hour round trip for me bro.
If I'm ever in you end of town..I'll definitely be in
Where do you get the clips that you are using at the top of the large exo-terra tanks?
Can u do a new bearded dragon enclosure or an update
Do a baby tegu bioactive enclosure for the next vid
Johnny walker is the way to go! Gotta love the blue label!
Would you recommend bee pollen for a leopard gecko at all?
Hey there, no,
I want to order some bromeliads from you but you don't ship plants to CA 😢
when are you gonna put springtails back on the website???
Hell yes
good video!

Can I ask you what water you use for the amphibians tank? My tank gets dirty...
Hey josh. Do you know anything about steppe runner lizards ?
Please expand to the Midwest, Texas is too farrrr
please expand to Europe
I looked up the terrarium aluminum stand system you mention in the video. Can't find it online, what's the exact manufacturer of the stand/condo system you're using in the shop?
Hagen and terra plex.
You won’t - they are for commercial only but I’m getting special permission to offer them.
Open a DFW location!!!
Hopefully one day!
