The graveyard is hilarious. Been watching you guys for a few weeks. I've always been into aquariums and need more racking for future terrariums. Once I do I'm going through you. You guys make it so easy.
Dang man. I'm so impressed with how far your business has come. Oddly enough, I was just wondering last night when the next update would come and how far things would have progressed since then. Way to go dude!
The graveyard! Hilarious. BioDude your passion rocks. My kids got me into reptile ownership. We started with turtles, we got two. Yesterday I brought my first gecko and first bioactive kit from you. The behind the scenes is so cool. If I lived in the area I would definitely want to work there. Keep up the vids! Blessings!
I just got your kit for my gargoyle gecko and he loves it. Your company deserves so much recognition. I will be placing another order once I finish fixing around my house to make space for a bearded dragon. You’re really innovating the reptile keeping hobby!
Thanks for your videos, they're so great. Even though I can't get your products in my country - I really appreciate your business and how its growing the hobby!
I'm loving watching your videos looking at your products. My goal is to at some point have a small reptile wall/room all bioactive with your kits. 👍🏻 right now I have a 2 yr old bearded dragon and soon I wanna make her tank bioactive.
I'm completely sold on these kits, but microfauna is absolutely necessary for animals that have a lot of waste. And thats with the bioshots and springtails. I solved this by putting a container of earthworms into the terrarium and I saw an immediate positive response from the fern and other at risk plant that were at risk due to my heat lamp.
I’d love to see a video on how to do the tree frog paludariums that will support all life stages. I think that’s so cool! Keep up the good work, I’ll be ordering a western hognose kit soon!
Just finished setting up my first snake tank. I went with a rosy boa so I got the dudes bioactive kit for a 10 gallon, and I have to say, it looks amazing! I added a piece of wood for climbing and it's a great natural setup. I will definitely be ordering again and recommend this to anyone
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter He's in there now and he is loving it! So far the sahara is holding moisture well underneath and is dry on top! humidity of about 20%
Ordered the Ball Python kit and soon the Bearded Dragon kit! Cant wait to have some nice beautiful set ups again. Keep doing what you do man you are killing it!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter That's great! I was just going to suggest that! Are you going to have any 2.5 X 6 foot and taller than 18" for plenty of climbing space, and also all acrylic large cages?
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Yea man, space is definitely the challenge. You can some really nice aquatic set ups though, especially with turtles that don't eat much plants. I can already see the Bio Dude aquatic plant substrate haha.
Hey bio dude, huge fan of everything you're doing with your business! I was wondering, do you ever plan to make some items available for shipment to Canada?
Hey I’m just wondering how much of bioshot I will need for my 40 gallon? I’m going to be buying everything from you and the wording on the website kinda threw me off and I’m unsure of the amount I should buy. Love your videos, my ball python will absolutely love his new vivarium thanks to you
So can we come to your wearhouse and purchase or is it mainly online? Our family will be in the Houston area in August and we wanna come check out bio dude. Husband got me hooked on bearded dragons.
I love your channel. What substrate would you suggest for a 36x18x36 paludarium to house either a cuban knight anole or a pair of eastern water skinks?
Love your stuff but you may need to do a quality check with your manufacturer for your lights though. Last 22" I got from you had a defective socket base on it and was installed completely crooked. No way it ever worked because it couldn't make contact with the fixture socket. Hopefully just a single anomaly. Otherwise I love all your products.
I love Abronia. I got a pair of Gramineas about 2 years ago, they were high in yellow and both died shortly after getting them. I was told they were cb but after doing more research it turns out that yellow coloration is from a specific carotenoid they only have access to in the wild. That is mainly the reason that I have not gotten more..yet.
I would LOVE to. I do not know much about mammals and their overall husbandry and their unique/sensitive respiratory systems really need to be accounted for when doing something like that. Its on the burner but I have not done significant research to try and formulate anything...yet.
FYI the substrate inserts aren't really helpful. There aren't instructions or really helpful information on them. Not sure about others, but I'd rather not get them as they end up in the trash. The UVB insert sounded helpful, though.
I can tell you: Hard work, risk, sweat, tears, getting ripped off for thousands multiple times, learning hard lessons and never giving up! Live your dream!
Depends on what size you want you enclosure to be and what brand. Kages are great long term options that we utilize for a variety of our reptiles. They are available on our website for reference if you are interested!
hello could you do someting big bio acitve for like a savannah monitor or a tegu im thinking to do a bio active to my savannah monitor with savannah grass.
Edit: Idk how I feel about all this. I love the setups, but a few other things give me bad vibes. The way you handle your amphibians, for one, and all the breeding. It seems irresponsible to me. I’m not saying you’re absolutely in the wrong for doing it, but something about it just rubs me the wrong way 🤷🏻♀️
It’s really good to see your business growing dude! Got my shipment Monday and I’m 100% satisfied way better than any other business
That is what I Love to hear! Thank you for your business and support!
Thanks for the update dude.
We appreciate your work in advancing the hobby.
Thank you!
Indeed we do. Thanks Josh!
The graveyard is hilarious. Been watching you guys for a few weeks. I've always been into aquariums and need more racking for future terrariums. Once I do I'm going through you. You guys make it so easy.
Yaass!! Can't wait until you are everywhere!! Haha also open a store in San Diego next. Thanks!!
Yes Please open a store in San Diego, anywhere in SoCal will work for me lol
yess SD!!
Your warehouse is CandyLand ! I would go nuts putting terrariums together ! Keep up the great work !!
The hardest part about my job is not keeping 90% of the woods that come through the door!
Dang man. I'm so impressed with how far your business has come. Oddly enough, I was just wondering last night when the next update would come and how far things would have progressed since then. Way to go dude!
More are coming, thank you so much!
Cool to see your business walkthu. Educational in many ways! \o/

The behind the scenes is so cool. If I lived in the area I would definitely want to work there. Keep up the vids! Blessings!
Bah, thanks. I had to take it down about a year ago --- Lawyer was like "You can't have that, dude." lol
Appreciate the support, BIGTIME!
I just got your kit for my gargoyle gecko and he loves it. Your company deserves so much recognition. I will be placing another order once I finish fixing around my house to make space for a bearded dragon.
You’re really innovating the reptile keeping hobby!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it!
Awesome video, a warehouse like this is a dream! Great job
Thank you!
I love how all the cages are decorated! It looks so realistic!
Thanks for your videos, they're so great. Even though I can't get your products in my country - I really appreciate your business and how its growing the hobby!
Thank you so much! Hopefully one day Ill be able to help people out across the pond and the great north,
Wow nice to see the behind the scenes area. Thanks for sharing! Shout out from Oregon
Thank you so much for your support!
Hey Josh, you are the Dude. Thanks for the update, I really love your energy and wish you all the best for the future 🔖
Thank you so much!!

It’s always interesting to see what happens behind the scenes of a business
I really wanna see another tank build from you. Keep up the great work.
More are coming!

Awesome!
You make me want every damn bio active enclosure I can have! I’m waiting on an order now from you!!
The Dude Abides ;)
Fantastic setups!
Thanks dude!

I put as many bugs in mine as i can when it gets warmer ima orde isopods and springtals but for now i have only a few bugs
My friend recommend your channel to me because I'm getting my first ever frog. You're cool! Keep it up!
Love it! Let us know when you are ready to scape for your frog!
omg love all the setup keep up the amazing work
Thank you so much!
I’d love to see a video on how to do the tree frog paludariums that will support all life stages. I think that’s so cool! Keep up the good work, I’ll be ordering a western hognose kit soon!
Hey Tom. I have a couple paludarium builds. You can find them here: ruclips.net/video/j9-7VVXvlOk/видео.html
Love your organization!

Love it! How is your little Rosy digging' it?
The Bio Dude Josh Halter im still getting everything dialed in, but im sure once hes in there he will be more than diggin’ it!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter He's in there now and he is loving it! So far the sahara is holding moisture well underneath and is dry on top! humidity of about 20%
Yay
Thank you for responding that’s all I needed to know
Subbed and for sure checking your website out just because of the steeler mug.
Ordered the Ball Python kit and soon the Bearded Dragon kit! Cant wait to have some nice beautiful set ups again. Keep doing what you do man you are killing it!
Thank you so much for your business!
keep up the hard work, we appreciate it.
Thank you!
man getting rid of all the exo terras and go full custum euro style would be awesome ;-) add some test offerings and see how they go.
Ill be adding a whole line of PVC cages with FREE SHIPPING here in the next quarter or so, as long as this upcoming video goes well.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter can't wait!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter That's great! I was just going to suggest that! Are you going to have any 2.5 X 6 foot and taller than 18" for plenty of climbing space, and also all acrylic large cages?
Time will tell :)
Love your stuff dude. You're my new go-to for supplies. Aren't the mist Kings supposed to be gravity fed?
I think so, but the way I have them, THEY WORK! lol!
Your king of bioactive love your stuff
Excellent!
I'm glad to see you growing man. Keep up the good work.
P.S
You need to keep some more turtles and tortoises haha.
Thank you! I know, it is space. I have one turtle and one tortoise at home that I keep outside 9 months out of the year.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Yea man, space is definitely the challenge. You can some really nice aquatic set ups though, especially with turtles that don't eat much plants. I can already see the Bio Dude aquatic plant substrate haha.
I know you're serious because you have a graveyard! Rock on, Dude!
I know - I show that to every new hire and tell them. "Now you don't wanna end up on here like some others." lol
17:00 had me dying in the backround!
Tom Moran sent me here, say "Thank you Tom"!
I would love to see you make a detritivore specific substrate!
Hey Wesley. We just came out with our invertebrate substrate Terra Aranea which I think would work great for detrivitores.
More shoutouts to your employees, I think they would appreciate it
Agreed! The day to day encompasses everything so its tough to pull them for videos.
Thanks so much, um trying tô replicate a bioactive here in Brazil
Been waiting for this
Way to go Josh! Make Room Zoomed, Exo, Fluckers, & Zilla…..
: ) that is the plan!!!
Hey bio dude, huge fan of everything you're doing with your business! I was wondering, do you ever plan to make some items available for shipment to Canada?
We are getting close!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter awesome!
its really great to see an update thank you! do you know if you'll ever ship international?
One day!
👍
Exited about the rock and mineral accents!
I am as well, thanks : )
First Time hearing about your product would love to do a Review on it
And love your channel
Thank you so much!
one question: what is your opinion on Mykorrhiza in a vivarium? it should be safe to use, right? doesn't it develop over time anyway?
Its pivotal and its also in the Bio Shot already,
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter great thank you!
Damnit Brandon use your words 😂😂
He tries too. Bio Dude always cuts him off hahaha
Hey I’m just wondering how much of bioshot I will need for my 40 gallon? I’m going to be buying everything from you and the wording on the website kinda threw me off and I’m unsure of the amount I should buy. Love your videos, my ball python will absolutely love his new vivarium thanks to you
If you are using a 36 quart bag of substrate, a 36 quart BioShot, Let us know if we can help you further! customercare@thebiodude.com

Sure can, M-F 8-4
I love your channel. What substrate would you suggest for a 36x18x36 paludarium to house either a cuban knight anole or a pair of eastern water skinks?
Paludarium = Fauna with the Supergrow.
I thought you were a Cowboys fan?! What’s with the Steeler cup!? Lol
What is the locking mechanism you use to lock the top two panels of glass on the exo terras?
Steelers all the way !
Love your stuff but you may need to do a quality check with your manufacturer for your lights though. Last 22" I got from you had a defective socket base on it and was installed completely crooked.

Hey Jeff. I'm so sorry to hear that! Please reach out to us at Customercare@Thebiodude.com we will be happy to get this taken care of for you.
Ooo, where are you wholesaling in Oregon? The Reptile Zone in Bend?
You should get some abronias and do a setup for them.
I love Abronia. I got a pair of Gramineas about 2 years ago, they were high in yellow and both died shortly after getting them. I was told they were cb but after doing more research it turns out that yellow coloration is from a specific carotenoid they only have access to in the wild.

Can you please do a video on a bioactive self maintaining hedgehog cage please !
I would LOVE to. I do not know much about mammals and their overall husbandry and their unique/sensitive respiratory systems really need to be accounted for when doing something like that. Its on the burner but I have not done significant research to try and formulate anything...yet.
Please get a Canadian site! You have so much amazing products
I know! If only I could set up a shop in CA for online only....If only!
Only in 🤘htown
Dude im in Houston too.
Do you guys ship to the uk and can I put cork bark and ghost wood in a non bio-active vivarium
FYI the substrate inserts aren't really helpful. There aren't instructions or really helpful information on them. Not sure about others, but I'd rather not get them as they end up in the trash. The UVB insert sounded helpful, though.
Rolf Power that’s a first to hear. Of all, those are the ones I get complimented on the most.
Can you grown succlecdnt with a uvb long light
Can you make a video how you started your buisnes would love to know that
I can tell you: Hard work, risk, sweat, tears, getting ripped off for thousands multiple times, learning hard lessons and never giving up! Live your dream!
you look like a herpetologist version of travis pastrana, mate
Please do metal halides, they are under rated and not available at a reasonable price.
Agreed 10000%. I am about 90% sure the majority of them (like UVB fixtures) are all manufactured in Germany. Ive been searching.
First. Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
how much is a custom cage for beardies
Depends on what size you want you enclosure to be and what brand. Kages are great long term options that we utilize for a variety of our reptiles. They are available on our website for reference if you are interested!
I ordered ghostwood a while back but got grapewood instead. Dang it.
Tanner, email us, if my awesome customer care staff has not taken care of you, they will! Thank you! -Josh
What could you put into a 8 by 8 by 8?

If I'm hiring ;) I don't have much turnover.
Why don’t you breed leopard geckos?
I would love to, I just do not have the time or space to adequately give them the attention they deserve.
Is ghost wood safe for aquariums
It absolutely is! The best part is, it doesn't add tannins to the water.
1:08 lol
Wait can you come to pick up orders
Chance Tidaell we have hours. Monday- Friday 8-4 for retail!
