I love this video because you showed way cheaper ways to get started on this! I got sucked into buying nice substrate and probably 100$ worth of cork bark when I litearlly have a woods in my backyard, lol

Great video. New subscriber and new dad to 2 leopard geckos. Had them about 2 months now. Your videos are great and very informative. Can you do an update video on this enclosure.

Yes! Will do as soon as I can. The succulents are going crazy!

Do the isopods reproduce by themselves? Or do they need to be replenished every so often? Put some in my leopard gecko tank, but haven't seen them since. No idea if they're all dead, got eaten, or just doing their thing lol

@ChiefSweetsUniverse 7 месяцев назад

They do reproduce by themselves. It does take a little while but when they do they reproduce a lot. Definitely make sure they have leaves to much on and they will be perfect happy they will also dig deep in the substrate sometimes so you won’t see them

@sohnegirl 16 дней назад

Where do you get the isopods and how many? Is this separate from what you feed the gecko? Thanks :)

@paintgirl648 Месяц назад

Hi! Thanks for the informative video :) Very helpful! Just one question, what kind of sand did you use to mix with the peat moss? Thanks!

@vinibiovlogs6085 25 дней назад

He usually use play sand

@theLadyRiver1 23 дня назад

Im getting ready to start a bioactive tank for my juvenile leo...Is the sand you used safe for the Leo's? I've read a lot of conflicting info about sand...does mixing it with moss negate the risks of using it?

@weeaboosqwad6708 2 месяца назад

did you put the leopard gecko in immediately or did you have to wait a while?

@MamaKat62 7 месяцев назад

Exactly, totally perfect! Well, minus the Jade plants. My geckos would destroy them in just a few days, silly things 😊

@ChiefSweetsUniverse 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! Surprisingly my gecko hasn’t broken any at all. It’s grown in quite well.

@PotatoInk101 5 месяцев назад

Love your videos! I plan to replicate your substrate mix but was curious as to where the nutrients for the plants were coming from, would it come from poop and the crew? Also, is that rocky top layer necessary? And can I add a drainage layer because I saw you didn’t meanwhile some do, etc? Is there any Home Depot alternatives to drainage too? (Sorry for all the questions 🥲)

@ChiefSweetsUniverse 5 месяцев назад

The peat moss is dead moss so the isopods will eat on that and the leaves and will turn it into some good nutrient rich soil for the plants. You can add a drainage layer but it’s not necessary. No worries about the questions happy to help

Great video! I do have a couple questions. Would the moist hide be on the hot or cool side, and then would you have to mist it still?

@ChiefSweetsUniverse 5 месяцев назад

You can have it on either side if it’s on the hot side you’ll have to spray it more since it’ll evaporate more water than the cold side

@Greg_Rock 4 месяца назад

Looks amazing! The only things I worry about are how sanitary is the peat from home depot and the twigs from outside? Shouldn't they be sanitized with a 200 degree trip to the oven so no unwanted parasites come in? That's what makes cork bark safe.

@ChiefSweetsUniverse 4 месяца назад

So parasites are usually transmitted through fecal matter or through eating contaminated food like insects. Also parasites are usually around other animals since they are the carriers pet stores are actually the number one place of parasite transmission in captivity. Home Depot is just dirt with no animals around so wayyyy less likely to be a carrier of parasites. the only thing you would get from the dirt is gnats.

I was told pure sand is fine for leos and isopods/springtails can be bad because leos might eat them. Thoughts?

If they eat them wouldn’t matter. Also pure sand would be bad since they don’t come from pure sand areas
