I just upgraded both my bearded dragons to 4 ×2×2 ,and my leopard gecko to a 40 gal.breeder..I see now that we have been keeping our reptiles in way too small enclosures..my reptiles are now running and jumping, more active and dont surf the glass anymore..love my zen habitats ,and zen mats!!!💓
The one at 11:45 is set up so well! It looks so natural and provides so many levels and places for the dragon to explore. I had to screenshot that to use as inspiration for my dragon's new enclosure
Yeah me and my father ended up DIYing a wooden one for my beardie. Works really well for her but won't work for anything that requires a humid environment unfortunately.
I don’t personally own a beardie atm but I would love to get one sometime in the future!! They’re so adorable and chill and I would totally spoil it ❤️❤️❤️
I know this video is from October 2020 but I am getting a zen habitat for my bearded dragon. I order it in late February it should arrive any day now. I wish order the mat now. Bioactive does sound hard. I need to do more research on it. Thanks for the video
Personally I say viff bc I pronounce it veevarium probably again a case of which side of the pond you're looking at 😉 you also really seem to enjoy your job at Zen which is awesome! I've always wondered how reptiles can be so comfortable lying on substrate and hard stuff with their soft bellies. Sometimes my boa slept in shoes therefore she now has the option inside and outside of her viv. Does dude now accept the bed or is he still skeptical btw?
I always wonder the same thing too! Dude didn’t use it on his own. I placed him in it though and she slept in it all night and seems to really be enjoying it! ❤️
At 15:55 that actually looks more like a dehumidifier, than a humidifier and that would make more sense to have in a beardie's enclosure, if where you live it's too humid. I guess.
I want a bearded dragon I had one but she died from impaction because it was my mothers and she always followed the petstores rules even though I told her but I’m also afraid of a light falling over because I have the worst luck
A lamp falling over shouldn’t be much of a worry unless you have a cat or wild dogs bouncing around. With the zen habitats you can mount the light inside the enclosure, so that could reduce some stress 💕
Reptilian Garden ooh I never new that about zen enclosure sand yes I have a cat he’s a cat that gets along with my reptiles a lot I have a pink tongue skink and a monitor that he gets along with but yes I do watch them they kind of just stare at each other and I think it’s cute I always leave my cat on a harness/leash to make sure he doesn’t attack them
You can put a baby in a large setup! They grow quickly and aren’t stressed out by space, they utilize it! Just fill it out with a lot of fun things to climb on and you’ll have a happy baby! ❤️
120 gallons 🤨 I think a 40 gallon is ok and a good size to go for is 70 gallon and if you wanna go the extra mile then do a 100 gallon . But the minimum a hundred gallon ?? I don’t think so
@Molly Asmussen a bearded dragon won’t spend its entire life in the tank it will be handled or walked or etc. so they will walk as much as they would in the wild just not 247 . Kinda like humans most of us have small rooms but we walk way more steps then that room could have the room to hold .But we still live in our rooms perfectly fine and walk a lot . So I think it really depends on the person the time the person has and the space the person has . It’s very debatable
Just wanted to ask you something...Is it Trisha? Tricia? None of them? I hate not saying peoples name correctly! The bed is adorable! Just one thing; since its made of cloth if it gets soiled it can retain bacteria. Though I’m sure you already know as you usually mention it! Just in case :)
Wood is perfectly fine for a low humidity animal like a beardie! If you ever wanted the enclosure to be flexible for another animal that requires a humidity over 50% get pvc!
@@tirzah9929 thanks, I'm really excited about getting a zen habitat i was just never sure before if one was better than the other. 😁 I appreciate the info.
The pvc is mainly for high humidity animals or if you plan to use a heat pad. Since beardies have a low humidity requirement and usually use heat bulbs, a wood enclosure is the perfect option for them! ❤️

I completely agree!!! It almost seems insane that we once kept them in such small enclosures. Upgrades are so enriching for them ❤️

Thanks for the love girl! My dragon's setup is in fact bioactive with the Terra Sahara substrate from The Bio Dude. 🙂
So awesome! Thank you so much for sharing it!!! 😍 ❤️
Cats are awesome btw 😆 and you're enclosure looks awesome i want to do something like that for my leopard gecko
@@luvlost03 I know, I have two cats who drive me crazy. 😂
The zen habitats look awesome but are so expensive, especially here in canada. Just 1 enclosure is $600. Not including the stand or anything.

If you're interested in how to make one Emma lyne Sampsons video on it is very well done. Not as pretty as a zen but a hell of a lot cheaper
Lmao why do you think she always says "upgrade to zen habitats"
I don’t personally own a beardie atm but I would love to get one sometime in the future!! They’re so adorable and chill and I would totally spoil it ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Tricia this is such an awesome bearded dragon enclosure review I love it. :)

Can you do another snake enclosure review since I recently got a snake I would love to show off my enclosure and take some constructive criticism!
What kind of a snake is it?
Reptilian Garden garter snake

I think the grass is wheat grass from the market..I get it and pea shoots in same square container
Thank you!!!
I think random but whatever you prefer
I don't have a a dragon and won't be getting one for like month's but it's never to early to start your research!!!!
Can I use puppy pads/pee pads as substrate? I'm getting a bearded dragon soon
You problem could but I would wash them first sense they are made is factories and could have chemicals on them
Can you do all gecko enclosures again?! I’ve made some improvements to my AFT enclosure and I’d love to share! P.s. love u girl!
I’d love to do that!
nice terarioum for dragon

And the ones I have so have a lamp/UVB but I believe it’s built in or there’s a cover
Those bioactives looks sweet...
Ive been loving you... Your vids
Thank you so much!!!
Just out of curiosity, would you recommend putting a baby straight into a 4x2x2? Or waiting until they're a bit bigger?
You can put a baby in a large setup! They grow quickly and aren’t stressed out by space, they utilize it! Just fill it out with a lot of fun things to climb on and you’ll have a happy baby! ❤️

@Molly Asmussen well everyone has there differences 🙂
I got a question do you need live plants to call an enclosure a bioactive one because I have two fake plants or can you just use substrate?
How come you didn't say anything about the fact that one person just had the glass bottom and nothing else?
Amd how about a blue tongue skink review
Just wanted to ask you something...Is it Trisha? Tricia? None of them?

It’s Tricia! And thank you! I think I’m only going to put it in the enclosure at night time when he sleeps
Reptilian Garden Sounds good Tricia!
Play sand is not dangerous for dragons
I wish you'll got 100k sub fastly ❤️😍 I'm your fanss
Thank you so much!!!!! 😭😘😘😘😘
Seems like everyone has zens habitats
I've been saving up for a zen habitat but I don't know if I should get the wood one or the pvc one. Which would be better for my beardie?
Wood is perfectly fine for a low humidity animal like a beardie! If you ever wanted the enclosure to be flexible for another animal that requires a humidity over 50% get pvc!

You dont need the PVC but it might last longer .
The pvc is mainly for high humidity animals or if you plan to use a heat pad. Since beardies have a low humidity requirement and usually use heat bulbs, a wood enclosure is the perfect option for them! ❤️
My bearded dragon lives in a 70 gallon tank
I really hate the look of those enclosure with no natural stuff, I like realistic enclosures .
Sorry, but 95% of these enclosures are way too small. And many of those lack an adequate (UV) light installation.
