Although we're not using this bioactive Crested gecko setup with a waterfall for a crested gecko when infact were using this as a bioactive mourning gecko setup this bioactive setup can still be used for crested geckos. We show how to make a bioactive terrarium with a waterfall that could be used for crested geckos. We are going to be using this for our mourning gecko colony . This is a complete guide to building a tropical bioactive setup from scratch . Start to finish everything you need to know. How to make a waterfall is in this video along with loads more hints and tips on how to make a bioactive setup with a waterfall.
We use an exo terra terrarium for the enclosure

God Bless you and God Bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek God while you can! Jesus Is The way And The Only Way To God And He Is Returning Soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember The Ultimate Sacrifice Was Done For Love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus Paid our debt on the Cross, for our Salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus Is Lord and Believe with our hearts that He Was Risen from the dead, By God, and we must Be Baptized In The Name Of The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and Live By His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest! Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth! To God Be The Glory Forever and Always, Amen! -

Juan 3:16 RVR1960 La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo Pagó nuestra deuda en la Cruz para nuestra Salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús Es El Señor y Creer con nuestro corazón Que Fue Resucitado de entre los muertos Por Dios, y debemos De Ser Bautizados En El nombre Del Padre, Del Hijo y Del Espíritu Santo y Vivir Por Su Palabra y Mandamientos! Confía que Dios Ayudara con El Resto! Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra! A Dios Sea La Gloria Por Siempre Y Para Siempre, Amen! -

It's mourning geckos that are going in here. There smaller then a finger so they hide under the plant leaves and there is loads of nooks for them to hide however mourning geckos are very social animals and don't use hides

@mikeycbaby Год назад

Thanks for this. I bought a terrarium the same dimensions that would eventually house 2 to 3 dart frogs. I live in an older house that stays around 61 to 65°F or between 16 to 18°C in the winter time. I wanted to get supplemental heat and I thought a heating pad would be too obstructive so an aquarium heater would do the trick in the drainage layer so I decided I wanted to make a little waterfall/pond area and get a species that didn’t mind a water feature. This gives me great ideas!

If you’ve ever seen a baking show on Netflix called “Nailed It” that pretty much sums up what I think our version would look like compared to yours. A total disaster. But you definitely make it look possible so maybe one day we will try doing it without the water feature and the fogger. Thanks for sharing!

@starbyray7828 3 года назад

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Well it looks good. Mine was too complicated involving expanding foam and cork bark and a series of pools and a pebble wall..... every adjustment led to another leak/flaw/etc being revealed finally I just called it a day and put plants in all the "pools" My Crested Gecko trampled them all to death and/or dug them out lol. In the end I ripped the whole lot out (after a year). Oh boy was that a job and a half!!. I built it all to stay put and it didn't want to come out. Now its very simple she has Her Rubber Plant and a couple more live plants and some cork bark and rocks (all able to be removed if needed). A plain flat coco fibre back ground and bioactive substrate. My Male Crestie has the same setup but a slightly more elaborate . He has coconut hides (home made). He is an acrobat and has destroyed all his ground level plants bar one. He has a big Dracanea in the centre and some fake plants too and two rock pools.

@matteo-xb9by 3 года назад

hi! i loved the video, thank you so much for the waterfall idea! i have had my crested gecko (mingus) for about 8 months now and really want to set up a bioactive tank for him. as for the fogger, how much does it help with the humidity? at my last place the humidity was a steady 76 during the day and more when i heavily misted him at night, but when i moved it drops to 50 sometimes during the day and i have to spray him around 4 times a day to keep it up. i work from home so this isnt a problem and i dont want to spend 100+ dollars on an automatic mister for something i can just do myself so i am looking for more long time alternatives that i can switch on and off at times during the day that also adds some asesthetic value and is cheaper than the automatic misters i see on the market, but everyone in my local group says that their humidity takes a massive hit in the winter even with bioactive set up. i havent heard anyone mention misters/foggers. is the waterfall for only aesthetic purposes, or do you find your gecko actually drinks from it? i know swimming is stressful for them and i dont want him to accidentally drown as hes pretty clumsy and small still. i was thinking on adding a few extra rocks at the bottom be good so its an extremity shallow pool in my case. also, do you have any videos on how you treat the wood for your tank? sorry if the questions seem silly, i get extremely mixed reviews on google and you seem to know what youre doing :)

@lenccal2145 3 года назад

This looks amazing! And a perfect timing, too - I will be making a bioactive setup for my crestie in a couple of weeks. If you want to make cleaning of the glass a bit easier, spray it thoroughly with vinegar/ lime juice + water and let it sit for a few minutes. The acid will dissolve the limescale, so you won't need to use the scraper. You may have to repeat the process if the buildup is bad. Also - learn from my mistakes: if you are using aquarium silicone with acetoxy cure (smells of vinegar), you want to work outside, or in a REALLY well-ventilated room. Otherwise the fumes will burn your throat, and you will be croaking like a bloody frog for a week.
