    This is what keeping reptiles is about!! The science of keeping these animals in the best possible way and learning as much about them as we can!

    The passion you put in your builds is what makes them truly outstanding. I have never seen an enclosure like that. The vipers will never understand their luck with having you as their owner. Looking forward to your new enclosure videos, aspecially the ones for your big O.Hanna family members. Best of luck! Happy Birthday!

    This paludarium build turned out to be really awesome. It's so beautiful. Can really see all the love and care put into it. Having those millipedes really makes it feel like a rainforest.

    Wow, Chris: what a piece of art !!! I can only relate as I'm currently in the process of swapping my Arizona mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis p. pyromelana) from a totally fake home-made enclosure to a bio-active one with only a few fake pieces such as a waterfall and a few rocks... You're a real master !!! :-) Cheers from Paris, mate !

    For anyone else who was combing the internet for these beauties : Azemiops feae or Feae's viper. Allegedly they have a tell before they bite where they flatten themselves like a cobra and their venom is painful. They are more reluctant feeders who eat shrews and prefer to eat at night.
    there is also a white headed Azemiops species that is a different taxonomy called Azemiops Kharini

Love Egyptian mythology and such so figured why not have fun with this.

      Like Any other BioActive Vivarium/Paludarium Isopods and Springtails, before adding any living animal I suggest after setting the tank up to your design let it cycle for about a month mold will grow but dont get startled, thats what adding the isopods and springtails in the beginning are for to maintain the tank and cycle you'll also get to see how your tank grows and develops within that month and your tan ready for live animals. Atleast from what I've done and what has worked for me.

    Only issues I find with these set ups is at some point the plants roots will get into the pump and then the problems start.
    So I started making them using bulkheads and plumbing and outside canister filters. Some Building everything from the ground up and others drilling. But great videos love watching others do their thing

I have run into a roadblock of sorts in that I can not find anything similar to the “brown shades of silicone sealant” that you painted on the expanded foam. Will you please provide us with a link or a further description of just what it is you are using, please? Thank you in advance. BW

    And the Vipers are absolutely astonishing😲 😍 seeing them drinking is adorable!
    But I'm curious about the venom part tho. So they are Venomous? Is it just poten to pray animals?
    And I saw you being really comfortable handling them not like those really venomous snakes.
    I don't know if I got it right, I'm little confusing And I don't know your channel that much but I see you keep venomous snakes.
    But I really got an interest for them bc I would like to own a pare myself if I could.
