Welcome back everyone! I don't know about you but I think Pingu, Nona and Rambo LOVE their new setups! They've been exploring the cork tubes at nice and l even caught Nona shovelling her nose through the soil and leaf litter last night! Enrichment is the BEST! Don't forget to answer today's question of the day!

@testdasi 2 года назад

QotD answer: pothos and a few bromiliads for plants, bird toys for hardscapes. I have got 2 sets of bird ladders hanging horizontally with pothos acting as vines. The crestie seems to enjoy jumping between ladders and hugging the ladder stick while sleeping like a bolster.

@Reptiliatus 2 года назад

@@testdasi awesome suggestions! Thank you for being so thorough!

@cheryllynn4238 2 года назад

I love using golden pothos and snake plants. I create a little container from a cross section of cork bark tube to create a pot for snake plants so I can keep them drier. My crestie bioactive tank has been going strong for over four years!

QOTD: I have house plants. One is a Pothos. From the internet, I saw that they are poisonous to cats and dogs. Well of course Oliver wants to chew on it. So I offered him some lettuce instead. And he adores it. I am amazed by how he chases me to get to it. I have to hold it for him. Sort of like my hand is a branch. He loves to crunch it with his back teeth.

@dshobe720 2 года назад

I used to live in Florida where pothos grows outside. If it is able to root into a tree trunk and climb toward the 🌞 hormones in the plant are triggered and leaves get much bigger as well as the vine thickness. 18 inches up to 24 inches can be on a vine when growing vertically, so you might get some big leaves from them if they attach to the background.

@rickcroney1286 2 года назад

We have a special needs crestie, he had a spinal injury at the reptile store when we got him ( we had to!). We have Cork rounds and flats for climbing (using his front legs for the most part). For plants we have pothos, a bromeliad (from Home Depot) which actually can be planted into the substrate. We also have another small accent plant??? He loves his bromeliad and cork the the most for getting around!

@charlirogers6235 2 года назад

I use real and fake plants in my crestie's cage because I wanted flowers. I found fake flowers online that have been really great. I knew silk flowers wouldn't work because of the moisture and possible mold, but I knew I didn't really want plastic ones either. It took some searching, but I found these "like real" flowers that are made of a plastic that is super soft and feels almost like silk, but is safe to get wet and wont break down or release toxic plastic into the cage or water. Now I have giant lilies and hibiscus flowers in my tank and it makes my girly heart very happy.

@ColdbloodedCompassion 2 года назад

Nice enclosures! BTW...you can make your own coconut hides by drilling a large whole through and removing all the meat, then let it dry out and you have your own hide. I use pothos in all my reptile housing (even the tokays). For my cresties I also like wood orchids and snake plants (the cresties really enjoy lounging on the snake plants).

@Reptiliatus 2 года назад

Thanks for the advice! Yes! You really can’t go wrong with pothos!

@dacisky Год назад

@@Reptiliatus True. I moved into my deceased aunt's house and pothos was already there,as they are almost impossible to kill. I will be adding a staghorn fern to my big enclosure as I bought one over a year ago and planted it in a cork round. It's doing amazingly well and I recommend them for enclosures.

@billsmith1998 2 года назад

Ive been keeping tropical arboreal reptiles for over 10 years. I believe the key to success is density. lots of dense climbing surface, different sizes, with not many bare or open spots. I also incorporate many different pieces of cork hides throughout the entire enclosure. they tend to feel more comfortable and not as apt to hide

@Reptiliatus 2 года назад

Very well said!

@CaliAnimalLover 2 года назад

Love your haircut in this video. Looks very handsome. I love plants too. Probably my favorites are the pothos in all the colors. I just think they are so pretty, they’re easy to grow and very hardy. And since they vine, they can really fill a tank. I’m growing cuttings too. For just cool old style plants I love begonias. Their leaves are so beautiful with the green tops and deep burgandy bottoms. Then the delicate flowers that hand upside down in bunches are so pretty. And orchids….nuff said!

I don't have my own crested gecko. I share one with my daughter but it's mostly hers and she doesn't let me decide on decor. I have a question for you though...where are their food dishes? Also I am more of a snake person than a gecko person. Hognose snakes are my favorite!

I really liked these set ups (enough to subscribe so expect a possible future of likes spamming 🤓😏). Have two questions tho, that I am wondering about. What is the latin name of the dwarf isotobes (( for my future setup for my planned crested and another set up for p. Klemmeris ( not in the same enclosures of course))? And two, when it comes to the vinegar mixture, is it a self made one and what is the ratio if it is, and if it is not, what products are used? Am asking since I am planning for my set ups and would like to use reptile safe products 😊 otherwise, this video gave me ideas! So lovely and relaxing video.

Those look good. I have a small enclosure with a small gargoyle gecko. It's not bioactive,but has a ceramic candle holder for a ground hide,a moist hide and above the fake plant's,a stick with a toilet paper roll on it. My garg really likes hanging out on top of the toilet paper roll. Yeah,it looks tacky,but what the gecko likes,the gecko gets. I'm getting ideas for the bigger enclosure here as that one will be bioactive.

i have to redo my daygecko enclosure in a few days because i'm moving and i'm SOOO excited to rebuild it and adding a new background. for my daygecko i have pothos and some sort of monstera for living plants and i guess, i will use them for a crested gecko too ( when i finally get one). especially the monstara is really nice because it ads some nice foliage and also acts as vines to climb on. plus the pros of a living plant.

When we upgraded my sons Crestie setup we had a custom 40x40x80 glass enclosure made and scaled the back and one side with foam which a large cork tube running from top to bottom. The tube has a hole in it and he spends most nights inside the tube. Various other fork tubes and branches in there to give lots of climbing opportunities. Plants are pathos, snake plant, creeping fog, tillansia and a peace Lilly. He uses all the space and it looks amazing. Love how the new setups are looking.

@Kagedtiger 2 года назад

This is probably too late to get a reply, but I figure I'll try anyway: I've recently been researching plants to put in a bioactive habitat and I've seen mixed messages regarding the philodendrons. They seem like really good sturdy, easy-to-handle plants, but some places say they shouldn't be used because they are toxic. Not that the geckos would eat the leaves, but that the isopods might and then that could harm the gecko if the gecko snacks on the isopods, or even if it drinks too much water off the plant. Have you ever had any trouble with philodendrons in bioactive gecko habitats? Do you think they're likely to be a problem?
