  • Setting up a paradise vivarium for our Fijian Banded Iguana, Totoka. This massive 280 gallon enclosure will be ready for our iguana in the near future, make sure you look out for that video! Iguanas are not a beginner pet and should not be treated as so, they get large and can be aggressive. Please do proper research before purchasing any species of iguana. Links 👇

    I only just started following you, Mike, and I gotta say I'm so impressed with your knowledge, dedication and skill with building this vivarium and just generally keeping the Fiji's. You're doing an amazing job, dude. Very inspiring.

    I think some epiphitic plants like air plants or bromeliads mounted on the background and wood would look really good and he’ll fill in the middle section!

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  2 года назад

      I would love to add epiphytic plants, but I know that he would rip them off the wall, so we'll have to wait for the grasses and such to grow up and fill in!

      It's a universal Rock background, and those are the colorants they use to color the rock, it just helps hide things when blended and applied with silicone

    Hi Mike, quick question you originally had 2 lamps on the glass enclosure and you gone down to 1 in this one and you said about dropping to a 50w so my question is what was the 50w bulb you changed too as you didn't say in the video and is that all you used in this enclosure. I only ask as I'm researching for possibly getting one and yours was pretty much the only videos that came up. I'd be grateful if you could get back to me regarding the heating

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  Год назад +1

      The reason we went to only one is because this enclosure has much better insulation so with two bulbs it would have gotten too hot in the enclosure for him. The one in this enclosure is actually a 75W halogen bulb by arcadia that is controlled by a dimmer.

  • @jonnylumberjack6223
    @jonnylumberjack6223 2 года назад

    No drainage layer? Will that not cause the plants problems? Root rot or whatever. I dunno, I'm shit at keeping plants alive in my vivariums. Brilliant at house plants, stick them in a glass box and I have the touch of death. And that's with a drainage layer! I'd love to have seen you introduce Takota into his new home :)

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  2 года назад +1

      He will be getting introduced in the near future (probably a month or two). Just gotta let the tank grow in! Hoping that he wont need a drainage layer
