"Be free little ones!" I love watching your videos, great info and it feels like im watching my friend set up a new habitat, or talking about an animal
Since a lot of people really enjoy building the tanks, it would be awesome to see a breakdown of the best species by habitat requirements: best lizard for vertical tank, best snake for desert terrarium, best semi-aquatic species, etc.
I can’t get over their struggle for traction and their fail jumps, haha! They’re such goofy little geckos. I can’t wait to get my Mourning Geckos set up in a bioactive!
Lovely enclosure! Josh’s Frogs is honestly the best, my Mourning Gecko is having the time of her life thanks to their kit. Thank you for introducing me to both MGs and JF!
I can't close my mouth I'm in such shock. I'd never seen a neon day gecko. What an outstanding looking little creature. They are neon. When the cutest face I've ever seen on a gecko. I'm in love. I need to get some neon day geckos and jumping spiders. I need to stop talking about all of this and start doing it. What an adorable little lizard.

Excellent timing. I'm putting in some upgrades to 3 different Dragon enclosures today (Bearded, Chinese, Australian) so this will help me get motivated! Thanks Clint!
You posted this literally while I was putting together my first bioactive enclosure! Also, with help from Josh's Frogs - fantastic people. I seem to have approximated what you did pretty well. Planning on having 1-2 dart frogs and 1-2 mourning geckos in a 16x16x24 corner tank. Got some small-leafed philodendron per your recommendation - and thanks to your previous video, I knew I could pull it apart a little bit so the leaves are growing in different parts of my tank! Got 2 rescues thus far (leo x1 year and corn x2 months), and I may finally actually buy from a breeder for my latest display tank! Josh's Frogs is just 2.5 hours away from me, so I may turn it into a day trip! Had to cancel my Michigan vacation this summer due to COVID so this is my replacement for my trip. Thanks for all your videos! Love learning something new!
Keeping geckos looks fun. Loved the tank and the video nice job. 👌 So glad you switched hands at 10:11 and cut away from yourself with that knife. Phew. My spider-sense was tingling. Lol
I'm sure you've found out by now Clint, but the beauty of those CUC cuisine pucks is that they grow a huge amount of fluffy white mold. A well-established crew with lots of isopods will eat it up before that happens, but in new tanks expect a nice healthy fungal growth. It's all benign and great food for our springtail and crustacean buddies and triggers population booms in my isopod cultures. My dwarf purple isopod culture gives it a chance to bloom into fungal growth, but they're tiny. My P. scaber and P. laevis colonies, though, devour the pucks before that happens. Speaking of isopods, if you haven't already, culturing isopods (including morphs!) is really rewarding and almost no effort. Keeping an isopod colony healthy is on the difficulty level of keeping a pothos.
The reptile Mr. Rogers! My son and I just recently discovered your channel. We love it. We currently have a bearded dragon and ball python in our beginner reptile room. Thanks for all of the fun and helpful information!
Such a fun video! I already have my giant day gecko in a bioactive enclosure very similar to this, but it's always great to relive that exciting new start. Plus, those little geckos are absolutely ADORABLE.
Thanks so much! You always cheer me up, I really like the bamboo effect and those geckos are beautiful. You'll have no trouble finding those against the substrate! 🦎🌱
I wanted to get a blue gecko and I thought a Tokay was my only option. As a first time reptile owner to be, I knew a Tokay was probably not the best gecko for me, so I thought I should start looking into different colored geckos. And then you featured these guys. I'd love to get some, but my apartment doesn't allow reptiles. I might get them as a graduation present for myself in a few years, assuming I can find an apartment by my future law school that takes reptiles.
I kept my tarantulas on a shelf in my closet that I converted to a pet care room and had my clothes in a dresser. Especially if you know they are doing an inspection you can just cover them that day.
I'm getting a blue tongue skink any day now, he's just a baby. I already have a crested gecko, he's 2 months old. I don't really do bioactive but this seems really fun!
In your first day gecko video I mentioned that mine escaped out of the gap in the lid and ta da, so did yours. When they have babies they will also get out of the sliders, so I'd silicone those too!
it be way doper if they made the bottom section of where the doors rest opaque so you don't see the layers. Great enclosure either way! I love these geckos and the bamboo hides are perfect!
great video, gave you a thumb up rating as this faithful subscriber does for all your uploads. what made me happy is your HI THERE at the beginning and your mismatched tie and shirt patterns - so damn cute handsome one. until the next video, stay safe.
Should you lightly "ruff up" the bamboo with very fine sandpaper since one of the little critters was having a hard time climbing up one of the vertical pieces? He was cute taking one step up the bamboo then slide back two, over and over.
It looks great now but I really look forward to seeing it when the plants have grown in a bit. You could try scorching the surface of the left over bamboo for a different look.
When I got my first klemmeri, I was bewildered at how small of cracks they can slip through. Mine got out like 4 or 5 times before I managed to find and plug all of the gaps in the Exo Terra 🤦♀️ mine got out the exact way that yours did lol.
This is so helpful. I love day geckos and can for sure see this and this build in my setup. I had isopods before but I can’t find them so I think maybe I should get some of that cuc cuisine stuff Love your videos
I know it might be hard to do it now, but you should do a series called “How to Breed ...”. Is there a possibility that you will do a series like this in the future?
I just put a new baby hognose in a short/wide exo-terra with a similar lid design. I forgot to slide the wire hole cover into place and she climbed up the foam background and right through the tiny holes. I think I'll name her Dini.
What I like to do with the included Exo-Terra backgrounds is to cut the back side so they sit flush with the glass and no feeders can get up in there, and then I'll cover the "rock" part with silicone and coco fiber, maybe some moss. They turn out looking 1000x better.
Did you leave the plants in their nursery pots when you put them in? I was under the impression from a different tutorial that allowing plants to grow bare root in a bio tank would help maintain the soil better
Amazing setup currently I’m in process of building bearded dragon tank that’s 4x2x2. An idea for future video. Can you do one designed for “desert” reptiles that’s bioactive such as bearded dragons? Keep up the great work my whole family has learned a lot from Clint and his channel.
Hey Clint! I've been obsessed with your videos, thanks so much for making them! I've been looking into getting an African Fat Tail Gecko because I think they are super underrated and adorable. Could you shine some light on them and do a video on them? 💙
Amazing video, would love to see more setups,aybe even a collab with SerpaDesign? 😁 I do have a question though, would it be possible to keep day geckos like these with dart frogs?
Hey Clint! I normally ask about desert iguanas lol but today I'm wondering if you've done, or are planning to do a video on egg eating snakes. I think it might be interesting for people looking for snakes that don't eat mice.
I just watched his false water cobra video and omg am I in love with them and I would love to get one but they are very expensive and their enclosure and i also have very protective parents so they won't be happy about them being venomous
Please make some more bioactive enclosures and give us some advice on problems you’ll run into when we try to start. Compared to other pet youtubers you have a serious criteria to help people and you also have a good scientific element. Meaning you explain things on a beginner level rather than assuming we know what all the hybrid names mean etc. Also whats interesting is in Britain where 8m from, the pet industry isn’t as ‘open’ as yours, finding neon day geckos here would be a challenge. We don’t have independent stores like joshs frogs or that tropica for fish tanks to help us really optimise our projects like that... we kinda gotta find a pet store guy we can trust...and even then they’ll be like “oh your youtube guy is wrong, you need this substrate” and then you can never argue with their experience. But good luck to you and your kids n that mate... keep on herping!
There are reptile forums that have some occasionally from people who breed them in the UK, look for Phelsuma Klemmeri as they are sometimes listed as that in the UK. There are plenty of online reptile supplies shops for the equipment 😊
Good video. Although personally I do not like to put so much substrate. I also don't like planting directly in it, that makes it difficult to partially change the substrate over time. I also don't like bamboo, at least for crested geckos 😰
"Be free little ones!" I love watching your videos, great info and it feels like im watching my friend set up a new habitat, or talking about an animal
Those neon geckers are legitimately one of the most beautiful animals in existence 😍
I completely agree! I can't get over them. Thank you, Josh's Frogs!
I was coming to the comments to post the same thing!
Their feet are fascinating.
Little biological wonders of the world. 🦎

Yes they are beautiful makes me want one!

Spring tails: A whole new world!
LOOK how cute they are!
