In this video the Bio Dude discusses and shows his update on his Tetra Fauna 75 gallon deluxe 10+ year old bioactive terrarium. This terrarium is attempting to closely mimic the North American Bog/Shrubland with the following species co-habitating: 1.1 Albino Cornsnakes, 0.2 Green Tree Frogs and a 0.1 Green Anole. Currently this biotype is representing the winter time, so the Terra Firma is slightly drier than what it would be typically if during the spring. I discuss the standards the I took when co-habitating as well as the necessary standards any keeper should take. I discuss the daily care, insects involved within the system, each animal and products used to help create this environment as well as which products I am using to maintain this community. I also discuss my views on different co-habitant approaches. I hope you all enjoy this video as it was requested almost daily by my followers : )

I have a large tropical bioactive (60 gallons) for my red-tailed boa, who is still quite young and small. I have isopods and springtails in there, but could I also safely add other insects/arthropods? I'm an entomology student and love the idea of having a vibrant ecosystem with lots of lovely bugs running around. Do you think I could introduce worms, millipedes, etc without screwing up my plants or substrate? I'm particularly interested in exotic cockroaches from similar habitats, as I have wanted some for a long time but am hesitant to have an entire separate terrarium for an animal that spends 90% of the time hiding in leaf litter. Any advice is appreciated!

@safetyzone2962 3 года назад

His Terra Firma doesn't need it which is what he is using. The reason it doesn't need it is because it aerates from top to bottom generating air pockets and humidity pockets. It also stays dry at the top but moist in the middle and bottom layers.

@alop9535 3 года назад

Are you sure there aren’t 3 frogs? It looks like there’s a third sitting on the mistking nozzle on the right? When the camera pans around the enclosure at the end you can see all three frogs briefly, but there’s better views of the nozzle frog at other points in the video (around 6:40 is another good spot to see all three, one jumps away, one is sitting on the glass, and one is on the nozzle)

@pixel3610 4 года назад

there are a lot of green tree frog and corn snakes and green anoles where im from and there are also a lot of ferns moss and no bamboo so.. i would add more coverage for the frogs and anole with small shrubs and large leaf plants and for the corn snake ferns, ground cover like partridge berry. sorry this is off topic but a bog paludarium would be really cool with aligator weed and duck weed

How do you get that to work as green tree frogs needs high humidity and corn snakes don’t? As well I’ve always head never to house two corn snakes together, someone told me they tried it but that both their snakes would stay hidden all the time and he figured it was stressful to his animals so he separated them. I do know garter snakes doesn’t mind cohabitation and they don’t stay hidden as I have three.

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter 2 года назад

We maintain it around 45% with spikes up to 80% once a day with variable misting. The snakes have been together for a very long time and are out, about, eating, shedding and doing great. We don't recommend it for other keepers though---we know what to look for and have experience with it.

I agree green anoles are underrated. and I honestly didnt realize that until I got my Mangrove Snake who has only been willing to eat...lizards lol. So i have been buying tones of anoles to keep around for feeding while I work on getting him on other things. I have practically fallen in love with all these little lizards I have to feed to my snake lol! But good news is I DID kill one so I could soak it with a few rats pups and then put that anole under the rat pups and left it to see if I could start tricking my mangrove into eating rats and IT WORKED! Next feeding I will try to just soak the rats with the anole and put them in alone! If I can get him to eat just the anole soaked rats with out the anole actually being there then that will be fantastic progress and I may just be able to save some of these anoles as pets instead of food ROFL.

So wind your neck in - no one is asking you do a tank, and nor would they, you clearly don't have a clue about animals.

@@GaryAlanCohen the warning was very loud and clear - do not try this unless you have a lot of experience with reptiles, plus many times repeating how to go about it if you do do it. The point is people are going to do it anyway, so better they learn how and raise awareness for that, than have the ignorant go off and do stupid things - and they really do A LOT of stupid things. So now there is some information that will put many people off doing it, and those that are not put off will think a lot more carefully about consiquences and how they can avoid them. What you should never do is shut down the discussion ever. And actually as more people do it, knowledge improves and people can make better informed decisions and get proper advise.... in 1000 years time - who knows - it may be like cats and dogs being besties... only it will be a viper and mouse....
