    Instead of coating the exterior of the foam with silicone, I've seen a few of prominent reliable people here on yt, can't remember who exactly, use this stuff called Dry-lock. You just paint it on with a brush. It's perfectly safe and waterproof and doesn't have to cure. I'm not sure, but what I've been wondering is if you could use this and skip shaving off the surface of the foam. That would be so much easier. The bubbly look of the foam wouldnt be noticeable once coated with moss or whatever. I've gotta look into this. I'm gonna get a crestie and build a vivarium one day, if I can ever afford it. Your video was very helpful, not to mention good content. Thx, from north Alabama

    I was blessed with a sweet crested gecko. Although he is super skittish and doesn’t 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!

    Great videos! I can see that you really care about your animals a lot 😃
    One thing about the silicone you used, I always make sure that it says something like "for aquariums" or "animal safe" on the tube. I've used "mold free" or "no mold" silicone before and apparently there's stuff in there to prevent mold (no duh) and that is quite toxic for animals, I've lost all fish that were in the aquarium I used the silicone in. I hope the gecko is still fine!
    Looking forward to your next project, greetings from Bavaria! 😀

    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.

      Thank you so much! 😊 He definitely has some strong jaws for his size, good thing his teeth aren’t sharp! 😅 And you’re right, peat moss is not a renewable resource. I used it on the background simply for aesthetics and to cover the spray foam. I used it in the substrate because it’s great for moisture retention without making the soil waterlogged. Helps keep an adequate moisture-oxygen ratio. 😊🌱

    Holy Moses! That tank looks FANTASTIC. I've been watching hours of crestie vivaria videos and that is one of the best, hands down. About your lighting, does a LED strip like that do the trick? Is it enough to make the plants really grow? It looks very affordable. There isn't much to it at all.

    • @kaylaroach
      @kaylaroach  11 месяцев назад

      I don’t need supplemental heating in my Crested Gecko vivariums because the ambient temperature in my room is perfect for them. The most suitable ambient daytime temperature for Crested Geckos is in the mid 70s. Though they can handle high 60s at night. Anything over 85 degrees can become dangerous to them. My advice to you is to monitor the temperature in the enclosure using a digital thermometer. If you require additional heating, avoid heat pads and lean towards overhead heating.

    • @kaylaroach
      @kaylaroach  11 месяцев назад

      Yes, it’s no different than keeping houseplants in a little planter! As long as you choose plants that thrive in shallow soil. Ficus pumila doesn’t root deeply and will grow on various surfaces and creep across the vivarium over time.

What if I used a cork round and used that as a planter for some plants. Cover up one end and stuff substrate in there.

    How do I keep the wood from getting moldy over time? I’ve build a background, but the wood got moldy, so I had to take it out.

    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!

    I’m building a crested gecko foam background right now, the wood I’m using for the hard scape isn’t the most mold resistant, do you think I could coat the wood with silicone to prevent mold, similar to how you coated the foam background?
