If you do decide to go out and make your own.. feel free to show them to me! I'd love to see all the cool ideas you have hidden in there!

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! The plants,the music all the little lives...if I was a little smaller I would live in there myself AMAZING
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
Those vipers really make the whole paludarium. Beautiful
That enclosures a work of Art! Phenomenal design & set up, really nice job!
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 !
happy birthday man. you have the most incredible set ups.
Instant New Subscriber! ❤ Wow!! I am blown away!! Absolutely gorgeous build & those vipers are AMAZING! Great info & extremely entertaining! Love to relate with the obsessions of builds & I can also sit & watch my critters for hours explore thier habitat. Going to binge watch your entire channel! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!!! ❤️
You did a gorgeous job of including various plants as well as the bright millipedes! So pretty.
Amazing enclosure and species. Great video Chris, probably one of my favorites so far. Good luck breeding them.
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 just finished my bio active terrarium for my green anole from a 15 gallon long fish tank! It is now a vertical terrarium.
Thank you so much for making this video I learned so much!
What size is your?? I wanna add a tree frog to my 60 tortoise enclosure so he can eat the bugs I’m gonna be releasing in there soon.
Thank you for being so devoted and enthralled with reptiles!!
One of my favorite of your videos!!! Thank you!
The moment your hand touching it, my heart cant skip a beat, stay safe, great video.
The coolest build and vipers I've ever seen! I love your study of them! That is what we do right?! We love to see the intelligence in all life. So freaking cool! Love the hunt!
Beautiful work! I have tried to replicate it to some extent and have not come particularly close, but it’s my first attempt. 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
I am not a fan of snakes, but these 2 are very striking. If they are sipping around the enclosure, seems like they are pretty comfortable with you. Happy birthday
wow those Fea's vipers are incredible. Never heard of them before but now it's one of my favorite vipers.
Once again, truly the best person on youtube
This is one of the most underrated channels!!!!
Wow, might be the best Pixie Enclosure I have seen.
It was amazing watching them drink water. Beautiful build.
such and underrated channel. this woulf probly blow up if you started posting more often. i never miss a vid
Omg Chris those vipers are so special...can't wait for future vids.
I can't wait for updates on your other vipers. They are my favorite of your collection. I know most like cobras and big snakes. I like the small colorful ones. Happy Birthday 🎂 Thx take care :)
Lovely video my friend! Thank you for sharing! Any chance you might have a link to find the foam pads for sale online 🤞🏼? Thank you!
Thanks! U mean the black filters?
@@Chrisweeet haha yes :). I can only find small cut squares on Amazon for really expensive. I was hoping maybe you had a better source?
No worries if not! :)
Ahh i just go get them at the fish shops here in thailand.. aquarium stores online would probably have some type of this filter. (Especially monster fish or carp shops)
@@Reptiliatus did you find them bud
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS unfortunately not! Nothing that cheap :(.
Looks GREAT CHRIS!!! You're VERY ARTISTIC!!! A real nice HOME for these SNAKES!!! Just LOVE your VIDEOS!! Bye the way!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!🎂🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈❤️❤️❤️
I love this! Question: how do you keep it clean and mold-free long term?
Very curious about this as well!
Does any of these questions get answered?
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.
OMG!! Really love how this turned out! Stuffs like this I would love to do with my snake enclosure. Currently working on an Egyptian temple theme since getting a BEL ball python and naming her Kebechet, after the 'daughter' of Anubis. Love Egyptian mythology and such so figured why not have fun with this.
Great vid, definitely inspired ^u^
Setup was awesome Chris gave us some great ideas. The vipers are spectacular good luck with them hopefully see a video of some babies down the track. Cheers mate from down under 🦘🦘🦎
Never actually seen someone use filter foam as part of a hardscape, that's an awesome technique!
I love piper! My dream is to have a huge collection of them one day. Amazing paludarium!
Hi Chris first off Happy Birthday mate hope your day is/was a beauty. Now this habitat you just finished, really beautiful and I kinda doubt your two inhabitants notice that it was made for them. You have an incredible skill in building these homes for your beauties. Well mate gotta go, be safe and careful Cheers from Oz
How would you maintain that? Wouldn't the foam get disgusting?
Happy Birthday, Chris. This is beautiful. I wished you'd do more video's
Any update on how the foam substrate works? Id love to hear how it ages.
It will last essentially forever. It’s made to live submerged covered in all sorts of funky stuff haha
Great video as alwaysss🙌🏼
they are beautiful, so happy you are uploading more lately
this tank is amazing! those snakes are so beautiful! very cute when they drink too! fantastic video thanks for sharing!
terraristic isnt just a hobby, its art
It looks fabulous. I desperately want one of these enclosure but full aquarium on bottom. Not sure if I missed it but is there any filtration in this for the water?
Wow, I was just hoping to get into paludariums from the aquarium hobby and wow, what a result. The snakes were a surprise but how cool
it looks amazing at the end! im planning a 200cm x 60cm x 60cm terrarium 2! but i dont like the though, that there are no "real" stones inside... yeah stones are heavy - but a aquarium with heavy stones in it and full of water is much heavier D: i think, i use Seiryu Stones from the aquascaping area
Amazing job! I was wonder, what is better filter or water pump? How you keep water fresh and safe for drinking to your reptiles ?
Those are some of the cutest snakes I've ever seen
I know it's a year old but happy birthday and this was an awesome video. You got a new subscriber!
I just found your Channel and what an incredible build!! Very inspiring!! Thanks for sharing!!🙏👍
I would like more information on the filter system? I only saw the tubing go into the set up. Please explain. Thanks! it's beautiful!!
Do you use water spray system in this setup?
Hey Chris. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday young man. That tank looks awesome great job. Carl
This looks awesome! I've gotten interested in making my own paludarium for vampire cramps, but I'm very new and know very little on how to start. I'm not sure on what to use and what's compatible with what, so I wanted to ask if you had any tips and if you know where I can go for an in-depth explanation on how to get into the hobby
Those snakes are absolutely beautiful.
those pits are just stunning
That paludarium is a beautiful set up. Also, loves to your pet vipers. They are amazing creatures. Thank you for sharing this. 😍
By the way you described them sounds like they took a way different evolutionary path then other vipers like they got some good parts of different species but fits there strangeness just right
The terrarium is so cool, and awesome looking, and you are so passionate about the viper species you have, they are really cool
Love the way you say ‘Philodendrons’
Happy birthday, what an amazing setup and a so special viper. Concerning the food maybe fish or crab, anyway good luck for this great experience!
Happy birthday bud great video and I absolutely loved it and absolutely amazing snakes hello from Tennessee USA
Wow those vipers are awesome
At 6:58 there is a drip that looks like it's going backwards because of the time-lapse. So cool!
I was only looking to make a lizard/fish duo tank. But now I kinda wanna snake. Dope tank brother
wow so cool. always great content!! happy birthday to you too!! so glad i found your channel man! wishing you all the best, be well and take care
Fea's vipers have got to be in my top 3 favorite snakes
Happy birthday Chris. 🎂
How do you clean the water and filter pads?
Great video I love it.
That's what I'm wondering as well
i also want to know
You have quite the talent, bro! I love this, am learning new things from you. Great scape, I am amazed by this. Wonderful work bud
I literally lost my mind when I saw the Feas 😍
Those vipers are beautiful!
This video made me a subscriber I really like the detail in your work I built my 2nd the Vivarium last year it is bio active and it is doing really well I'm just bored all I do is look at it and rearrange my plants so I have decided to build a bio active paludarium and that's how I discovered your video great work!
Happy birthday... Lovely snake, for sure. Its head reminds me of a Salamander or some of the more exotic frogs. Never even heard of the species of course, you never disappoint!
Hi, just found your channel, sorry late to the party, really enjoying your knowledge and expertise , thanks from the UK, take care :-)
Thank you Chris, and I hope you had a great birthday. I hope you have many more.
Jeez those vipers are stunning!
That rock covered in greenery almost made me faint so beautiful
Installing a reptile Automatic misting system is even more perfect!
Those milipedes are stunningly beatifull
That looks amazing and those snakes are beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi.,am just starting a new hobby planted tank…now when I saw your video it seems to me to do paludarium and also ofcorse with aquatic plant…now am also thinking my pocket is now crying with planted tank…I don’t know if this hobby will do the same…but am thinking about it…I love the effects
This would be paradise for a tree frog!
Yeahhh this deserved a new follower by me
Very cool vipers
OOOOO MMMMYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! WOOOOOOW
Amazing! Can you explain how you are attaching the plants to help them grow? I know you said toothpicks, but do you just cut a Begonia for example, and stick it on? Don't they need soil?
Happy birthday! The tank and the snakes calling that tank home are gorgeous!! Now, when can I hire you to fly to the States and help me make one?? LOL! Hope your bday was amazing!!
Since you glue these foams down, do the live plants utilize the gunk that gets into them? Or will you have to eventually replace these? My assumption would be live plants would pull the nutrients from the foam once they can get their roots in there, but I really want to make sure so they dont get gross over time
9:20 those are so cool and horrific 🥶
I have never seen anyone use those before.
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.
Happy birthday! Nice tank! 🙂
Hello,Chris! It look really amazing! I have few technical question, if you don't mind..I'm building one too(my first) but i don't understand what is the point to seal the foam with silicon.. isn't the spray foam water proof? If not, what about the foam on the under side where is in contact with the woods or the material where is it glued?
My God Chris this video is amazing! Everything in it is just perfect. I have one little question. How do you take care of the plants on the branches and stones. I mean do they thrive in their own?
Also do you like to keep plant, clean-up crew and fish accordingly to each other or do you random mix?
Awesome video thank you. In what intervals do you do water changes?
Happy Belated Birthday Chris
Very nice setup video was great ! voice was great ! good explanation nice work bruh !
i came to this to get an iidea for a set up. not to be corny or nothing but for some reason "we arent machines, we make mistakes" just kinda stuck me in the feels.
Unbelivable work this look so beautiful.
I wish i could order you a terra like this 😭
this is amazing! I have been wanting to build a mini one for my pacific tree frogs. In addition to the pump will I need a water filter? and is the tank self sustaining or will i need to clean it monthly?
Wow so beautiful work, I'm going to build one paludarium for frogs i reckon, and i want to do a water part too. I've saw your foam-filter allover the bottom, after few months those its come stinking? Thanks
