I had requests to do this build years ago, but I didn't have or want a gargoyle gecko. That said I just recently adopted this gecko, which meant that she needed a custom bioactive vivarium.
She was given to me along with an 18x18x24" exoterra. Normally I don't use them, but I know that a lot of you do and I wanted to show you what is possible with this type of tank. Hopefully this gives you some ideas and inspiration for your next build.
Also let me know if there's anything you want more information on when I upload the follow-up video.
Substrate Mix: • Tropical Terrarium Sub...
Plant Prep: • How to Clean and Quara...
I'll get a full list of materials up at a later time, but I linked up all of the ones I consistency get comments about.
Material List:

As beautiful as Day Geckos are, and one of my favorites, they are definitely more of a "show" gecko, especially compared to Gargs or Crested. The latter are far more handleable, though I hear the Neon Day Geckos are safer to handle if they don't run from ya lol. But yeah, Day Geckos are beautiful.

Why didn't you have to make any modifications to include a drain like in your video in which you convert a ten gallon aquarium into a vertical vivarium? I'm wanting to get into this hobby and have recently purchased most everything that I need to get started but am so confused on why some things are necessary sometimes, but not always. I'm obsessed with your channel, along with AntsCanada, and Exotic's Lair. You guys are great and your videos, while entertaining, are certainly educational.
@noobpaints6114
@noobpaints6114 4 года назад
He’s more of an expert than I am, but I believe with these kinds of geckos you don’t necessarily NEED a bulkhead or drain or anything because there won’t be too much water at the bottom. Some people will also use a turkey baster to get excess water out if they need to
