@@Reptiliatus You're welcome and Thank you so much for sharing...and inspiring. Please keep them coming! Sending you my best regards from Las Vegas, Nv.
Instead of just carving - to get rid of the smooth surface - you can use rough sandpaper too. It's a bit messy but I personally find it easier to create more natural shapes. Cheers.
When I'm bedridden with a migraine I like to just watch this video. It gets me hyped to create future vivariums and it's a really relaxing video to play when I'm in a lot of pain.
You should work in a zoo to make these things for the animals and the reptile and tarantulas. It looked like a habitat made in the zoo’s. I mean this as a compliment.
After searching far and wide for a vivarium tutorial with decent editing, sound and video to show people, I finally came upon yours. Gotta say thanks, thought I would never find anyone who could manage it! Great stuff
I followed your instructions step by step and it turned out great! It was my first attempt so still new to this. I added several live plants and a pair of male and female day geckos. Thanks for the advice it was definitely hard work but paid off!
I found away to remove the black spray form for Vivariums. I removed it from my hands and nails by using peppermint essential oil and a piece toilet paper. I’m a big fan of your work and I have two Vivarium in the making right now. 1 is 18x17x27. 2 is 36x18x36. I’m so blessed and happy about your work. Thanks for documenting your skills and sharing with us.
Im just saying this - i have been sort of looking at creating my own for a very long time and i`ve seen alot of different tutorials...You sir - made the best one out of all, and earned a sub.
THIS is by far, THE BEST tutorial I have ever watched and I watched TONS. Thank you so very much. I feel more confident now to do my own build. God bless you and your channel!! Subbed.
Seriously!! This tutorial is excellent! So many new people in the hobby should be directed to this video!! shows everything in detail. Nice editing too!!
THIS IS LITERAL QUALITY CONTENT! Thank you for existing, I came here for help with designing a day gecko vivarium/terrarium and stayed because the video is really good
Unicorns Go Rawr thank you so much for your sweet comment! Means a lot to read such positive feedback after working so hard for a few months on this video! If you haven't yet, please feel free to subscribe! I actually have a room tour of most of my animals coming out this week!
Coop's Reptiles thanks a million! Appreciate the kind words and so glad you enjoyed the video! I subscribed to your channel, great content! We'll have to collaborate sometime. kind regards
Oh my gosh I can't stop watching I'm getting so excited for my build now, second I get the money together that's it I'm doing it this video has got my mind ticking about it all day long everyday pal, great advice just amazing build video all around!!!
Thank you SO MUCH, I had no idea how to do something like this, and now I did this for my huge tree monitor cage and she LOVES IT. It turned out gorgeous, thank you so much!
I have been looking to make a vivarium and your video is by far the best and it actually show step by step. I also love how you show how to make every thing in the vivarium.
ShortageVlogs thanks so much buddy! Good luck making your vivarium! When you are finished, send me a photo or video clip (to my Facebook page/link in description) and I'll feature it in one of my videos!
This tutorial looks so easy to follow! I’ve been wanting to update my corn snakes cage for a while now, my brother gave her to me when he went travelling to care for but I feel in love and have now took her as my own. She is in a basic cage for now 2 hides a warm and a cooler side, aspen the basics but I’ve been looking forward to decorating a home for her that she will actually enjoy. So thankyou for this I can’t wait to recreate something similar 👏🏻
I'm so glad to have been able to help so many people with this video! Thanks for watching/please consider subscribing to my channel if you'd like to support me :). Means a lot, thank you!
DaNk R3XU when you mix the dirt over the silicone it becomes the background. You can literally scrub or brush dirt and feces off the background and the soil will stay on the foam but the feces will come off.
You know if you went to a Menards or Home Depot and bought a shower enclosure or a tub surround . Put a bottom and top on it and it's a huge terrarium. Water tight and predrilled for lights and hoses . Get clear doors or door and put a nice gasket around the seal and boom ..big ass terrarium ..ijs ..this is beautiful work man .
Very nice man! Looking at building a vivarium this winter and trying to get as many ideas as possible. This video and the links you provide are just what I was looking for. Thanks again!
This is by far the best "how to build a vivarium" I have seen. Also your video on homemade vines and putty. Thank you so much for this - I feel very inspired and I'm so ready to try this myself!
yup, spray foam doesn't come off easily. Had to learn the hard was when making my poison dart frog vivarium. Took me 30min to get off. Also hurt too -_-
New to Vivariums and this is the best one out there for Newbies like myself. Thanks so much for sharing all your know how on this subject. Keep up the good work.
How long will a vivarium like that last before the background begins to collapse or slide down as I assume it won't last forever. Is yours still working well? Also do you thing applying silicone to the glass and letting it dry before the foam would help make last longer?
What an enthusiastic and comprehensive tutorial ♡ u seem so personable and it’s definitely conducive to tutorials!!! Makes me feel like I can actually do it lmao
THIS IS AWSOME! Is what I literally said within the first few minutes of watching and then i made sure to bookmark this. Great job, very creative, very descriptive. Nice that you added DIY features like the mud and vines. this was very helpful.
Filomena Clarizio you don’t clean this type of enclosure. They are bio active and small invertebrates in the soil break down waste. Mosses and fungi grow but regulate themselves if the temperature, lighting and humidity are balanced. All you have to do is clean the glass, drain the water from the false bottom if needed (not needed in the way he set it up) and prune the plants.
@Aodán Compton you dont clean the substrate in a bio active setup. It can be left one for years. The microfauna, fungi and bacteria do that cleaning for you. All you have to do is to keep it looking nice but leave enough litter for the system to work. To drain the water you leave a small, concealed, hole in the false bottom to feed a small hose through (mostly done by a small pipe that pokes out just above the substrate with a small cap on it). You can then easily siphon off the water if needed. Some amount in there is needed to keep the humidity up so only siphon off to prevent flooding.
@Aodán Compton this is not my viv so I dont know which values for temp and humidity it runs at. But is running just a few degrees above room temperature with a moderate humidity it shouldnt be a problem. A typical humidty of a tropical vivarium (above 80%) is too high though.
I just want to say... WOW! you went over everything I was thinking! You are very gifted and did a wonderful job describing how and why... Your vocabulary is wonderful and I LOVED the video clips.. the blob! lol.. I watched that stuff for real when I was a kid back in the late 60's early 70's.. I have a 36 gal fish bowed fish tank in my office ( I have no windows in my office at work) and so now I would like to make a vivarium.. so peaceful and welcoming. I love the mist.. If only I could fit in there & chill! Thank you for giving me confidence.. Laurie O - keep up the good work my friend!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the flattering compliments! It's nice to know my videos are well received! Thanks for watching/don't forget to subscribe!
I love this! It has helped me so much in designing my terrarium!!!! You did a really great job with the fogger, and had many wonderful ideas that I never would have thought of.
Awesome tutorial man it was really helpful. Also I never thought of using terrarium putty to attach plants to the background, may use this idea to add more plants to my paludarium! (＾ω＾)
Reptiliatus I would pay to have this made and shipped to Cali!!! I want a crested gecko and this is by far the best vivarium I've come across on RUclips.
Lisa Rodriguez thanks for the sweet words! I would have loved to build you one but I think shipping would be killer :(. Use the tutorial to make one yourself! :)
Great video!!! Can you do a video on a tortoise habitat, I have a Russian tortoise and he likes his terrarium but I would prefer for him to have a better one! Thank you
Depends how big the snake is. If its a small snake in a large enclosure, I'd say easier. It's just really important to remove urates and feces right away whenever possible :)!
If the enclosure is big and has a good 2 to 4 inches of soil and plants , no need to clean. The bacterias and other microfauna that live in the soil will process the excrements. Unless you have a python or some other big beast that should stay in the wild anyway.
You are a pro at making tutorial vids. This is the best one I have seen. Granted I have seen allot of other great ones too. This will be my primary instruction when I build mine!
Bold-Ochir Batbayar liked your own comment, real classy. It’s my vivarium. I’ll call it whatever I want. I know quarantine is getting to a lot of people but find something better to do than insult people over the internet. The high is limited and your pride is fictitious.
Reptiliatus yes I liked my own comment, I’m not questioning your right to call your vivariums whatever you want, my point is that it is factually inaccurate to state the terrarium is natural when it clearly isn’t, a better term would be a naturalistic seeing as there are many man made elements. I’m sorry if my comment made you feel worse, I didn’t think the creator of the video would reply. My fault for being rude on the internet.
Bold-Ochir Batbayar your point was valid and would have been respected by me had you not chosen to take it a step further and do some name calling (calling me a fool). I respect all my viewers and accept criticism openly. It’s how I learn. It’s how I improve my content. I appreciate you writing me back and I apologize for being so direct. Appreciate your viewership and concern. Warm regards
It's not naturalistic, no, but it's still a cool video. I'm building a naturalistic one. It'll take me a year to build because I'm poor 😄 but I'll probably make a video of it. I have a really cool, but very complex idea for it.
Indeed, I'm sooo interested in an awesome waterfall vid too! Please! Please! Please! I'm SUBSCRIBED and ALERTS are ON!!! I wish I cld LIKE ur channel a million times over!!! You are Meticulous! Knowledgeable! Helpful! Creative! Artistic! Ingenious! Informative! SOOO NEEDED in this hobby! Techy (making EXCELLENT vids with links to more, more, more! ...PLUS you speak at a perfect speed, calmness that makes everything more absorbable ...at least for me! A great teacher!!! I'm finally excited to watch viv builds again, as I'd lost hope in finding any that are actually helpful and DOABLE by ME!!!! More simply put, you're AMAZING! Thank you ...a million times over! (Mike is truly blessed to hv u as a friend!!!!) I GREATLY APPRECIATE ...YOU and your incredible talents! Oh, btw, I presently keep 14 dart frogs: 2 blue azureus, 9 vittatus(6 youngins!) & 3 D. cobalts.
love the cork bark background idea, although I'm more of a desert reptile parent myself. Some good ideas for building a new vivarium for my growing beardie. 👍👍
OMG! you made this look way easier and completely doable. I love it! Thank you! I'm excited for all the extrq tututorials you provided too. Wow. Looking forward to more. this is the first vid Ive watched as a new subscriber! Bravo!
Wow! Thank you for making this! One of the best and most helpful vivarium videos I've seen so far! That pond and stone foam looks dope, I'll probably be using that in my next project now!
wow! i LOVE this!!! i will DEFINITELY be watching more of your tutorial videos. I'm going to be inheriting a friend's eyelash crested gecko, Troll. I'm planning to do a biotype ecosystem like this for him (and eventually my bearded dragon, Rhaegar, but not quite like this). THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME!!!!
Yo when I seen the putty I was thinking like got the idea from you. Good to know I'm peeping out the right guys to watch. Your sound tracks are dope btw
Great video! I'm using this technique on a terrarium at this moment. The first background I'm doing. Just got done carving the foam, so silicone and soil next. Thanks for a good toturial!
Well done, one of the best vivarium tutorials I have seen!
Thank you so much! What a flattering comment!
Reptiliatus how do you clean
Reptiliatus truly a work of art 😍👍👍. One question though. What about drainage from water , that will gather at your false bottom ?
Cristopher Gonzalez tru tru
simple natural evaporation will take care of it
I found myself smiling throughout the whole video. You could tell he put so much love into it. Lucky little geckos. Awesome video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! That makes me happy!

Instead of just carving - to get rid of the smooth surface - you can use rough sandpaper too. It's a bit messy but I personally find it easier to create more natural shapes.
Cheers.
an oscillating(bone) saw with different blades kicks ass ,,,,,,,,,,, hand tools near the glass tho
That's a great idea. I think I might do this instead of carving. What I wish I could do is use a dremmel tool, but I somehow lost mine lol

Reptiliatus why glue the dirt down what if it gets dirty
DaNk R3XU when you mix the dirt over the silicone it becomes the background. You can literally scrub or brush dirt and feces off the background and the soil will stay on the foam but the feces will come off.
After watching hundreds of these, this was certainly one of the best ones made!

Thank you! She is quite the stunner, I agree! :)
Awesome video! What species is the gecko?
Satanic leaf-tailed gecko
You know if you went to a Menards or Home Depot and bought a shower enclosure or a tub surround . Put a bottom and top on it and it's a huge terrarium.

How does this fair up to cleaning and the urine smell from snakes ?
Depends how big the snake is. If its a small snake in a large enclosure, I'd say easier. It's just really important to remove urates and feces right away whenever possible :)!

I know right he has some of the greatest tank builds
love the cork bark background idea, although I'm more of a desert reptile parent myself. Some good ideas for building a new vivarium for my growing beardie. 👍👍
Thank you so much for all the tips. Really looking forward to start my project for a bearded dragon.
OMG! you made this look way easier and completely doable. I love it! Thank you! I'm excited for all the extrq tututorials you provided too. Wow. Looking forward to more. this is the first vid Ive watched as a new subscriber! Bravo!
Wow! Thank you for making this! One of the best and most helpful vivarium videos I've seen so far! That pond and stone foam looks dope, I'll probably be using that in my next project now!
This is the most beautiful thing,I’ve seen today.
This is the best tutorial I've seen for making vivariums! Thank you for producing this. I subscribed too.
wow! i LOVE this!!! i will DEFINITELY be watching more of your tutorial videos. I'm going to be inheriting a friend's eyelash crested gecko, Troll. I'm planning to do a biotype ecosystem like this for him (and eventually my bearded dragon, Rhaegar, but not quite like this). THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME!!!!
Thanks for watching! I am so flattered! Hope the build goes great and feel free to subscribe! :)
Just came over from ER bros! Cant wait to see what you got!
Because of this video I just attempted my first 3. They were a bit smaller for arboreal tarantulas but turned out very well. Amazing video!!
Fantastic build, sir! Ur critters are lucky!
Fantastic video!! You answered every question other videos left unanswered, thank you for sharing. ❤😊
I saved this long ago, watched again today. Wish I could like it multiple times.
Great job man!
Very good job. Everything looks natural.
Yo when I seen the putty I was thinking like got the idea from you. Good to know I'm peeping out the right guys to watch. Your sound tracks are dope btw
Great video!
I'm using this technique on a terrarium at this moment. The first background I'm doing. Just got done carving the foam, so silicone and soil next.
Thanks for a good toturial!
