This is the only video I've seen on RU-vid where a drainage layer wasn't used. I don't use them either, I don't like how drainage layers look, don't over water and you won't have an issue. Great content. 👍

Well...the drainage layer was originally invented for super-tropical rainforest dart frog vivariums that get misted with an automatic mister every day and might have standing water at the bottom (along with drainage bulkheads some people install to drain excess water). Some people with super high humidity frogs will literally pour water into the drainage layer to keep the humidity up without constant misting. You're right, though, for a more temperate or arid enclosure, the drainage layer is not particularly necessary. Not trying to be fussy about your video, just clarifying for anyone who may not know!

That is a crazy amount of water haha but I don’t mind learning something new! Thank you! I don’t keep dart frogs so that’s definitely something I didn’t know
@c5365
@c5365 10 месяцев назад
😁 I'm no historian, but it seems the earliest attempts and adoption of bioactive vivaria was primarily among Dart Frog keepers. Most of those species need 80-100% humidity, so you can see how a drainage layer would be useful. Later, when bioactive started catching on for other species, the rest of the herp keepers kinda just inherited the how-to instruction lists from the Dart Frog people, hence the persistence of the drainage layer in many instructionals. Although, drainage layers can still be useful in less wet vivs, especially in case of a water bowl tip-over accident, or if you get a bit over zealous with the watering can!

Thank you so much for the beginner videos! And especially for including tips for arid environments as well as tropical. If one is buying the spring tails and isopods, what's a good amount to start with on the crew? Also probably dumb question, but I assume you have pre-moistened the substrate before adding it to the setups? I want to get my snakes set up for bioactive, but still intimidated by it a bit. I have 2 desert and one woodland species.

Really good information, i only have a question. Does your lizard live in this biotank, or is this just for lizard food to grow? I kinda got lost when you were switching views between the different tanks and then there's a lizard sitting on a stone in one image. I'm building a custom aquarium for my bearded, and was thinking about doing a separate tank just for food, insects and like grass, dandelion, lettuce and such. Would it be ok to have a food tank like that and just put beardy in that tank for meals and then put him back in his own house after he eats?

He's been living in my outdoor plants and probably came in with a delivery box. We're in NC and it is starting to get cold. Is young lizard at a disadvantage while he grows his tail back in the winter if I release him back to my porch plants? I'm glad to set up a terrarium, I would just prefer to release. (I'm attached to this little guy, I helped him escape his dried egg slime that had his leg bound to his head at birth. He was a sad lizard pretzel doing gator spiral to get free.)

Is it safe to say most people will only need or want a drainage layer if the species needs HIGH humidity with a more consistent %75-%90. But if it's allowed to get %40 and dry a bit between you shouldn't need a drainage layer. Although you want to consider your independent air humidity through the seasons and ventilation as our climates can cause challenges we may not have considered.

As an avid gardener, I feel I need to point out that you are not, in fact, using soil. Peat moss and sand is a soilless mix. Real soil is generally called “black dirt” or “black earth.” Great vid though! I totally want to do this!

Would the sand/peat moss mixture function any differently than soil, In terms of cycling nutrients and availability for the plants?
