PALUDARIUM TUTORIAL | Step by step 

This is what keeping reptiles is about!! The science of keeping these animals in the best possible way and learning as much about them as we can!

The passion you put in your builds is what makes them truly outstanding. I have never seen an enclosure like that. The vipers will never understand their luck with having you as their owner. Looking forward to your new enclosure videos, aspecially the ones for your big O.Hanna family members. Best of luck! Happy Birthday!

This paludarium build turned out to be really awesome. It's so beautiful. Can really see all the love and care put into it. Having those millipedes really makes it feel like a rainforest.

Wow! The plants,the music all the little lives...if I was a little smaller I would live in there myself AMAZING

Thank you for being so devoted and enthralled with reptiles!!

That enclosures a work of Art! Phenomenal design & set up, really nice job!

Amazing enclosure and species. Great video Chris, probably one of my favorites so far. Good luck breeding them.

For anyone else who was combing the internet for these beauties : Azemiops feae or Feae's viper. Allegedly they have a tell before they bite where they flatten themselves like a cobra and their venom is painful. They are more reluctant feeders who eat shrews and prefer to eat at night. there is also a white headed Azemiops species that is a different taxonomy called Azemiops Kharini

Wow, Chris: what a piece of art !!! I can only relate as I'm currently in the process of swapping my Arizona mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis p. pyromelana) from a totally fake home-made enclosure to a bio-active one with only a few fake pieces such as a waterfall and a few rocks... You're a real master !!! :-) Cheers from Paris, mate !

You did a gorgeous job of including various plants as well as the bright millipedes! So pretty.

Omg Chris those vipers are so special...can't wait for future vids. I can't wait for updates on your other vipers. They are my favorite of your collection. I know most like cobras and big snakes. I like the small colorful ones. Happy Birthday 🎂 Thx take care :)

happy birthday man. you have the most incredible set ups.

Those vipers really make the whole paludarium. Beautiful

That paludarium is a beautiful set up. Also, loves to your pet vipers. They are amazing creatures. Thank you for sharing this. 😍

Wow, I was just hoping to get into paludariums from the aquarium hobby and wow, what a result. The snakes were a surprise but how cool

they are beautiful, so happy you are uploading more lately

This video made me a subscriber I really like the detail in your work I built my 2nd the Vivarium last year it is bio active and it is doing really well I'm just bored all I do is look at it and rearrange my plants so I have decided to build a bio active paludarium and that's how I discovered your video great work!

The terrarium is so cool, and awesome looking, and you are so passionate about the viper species you have, they are really cool

wow so cool. always great content!! happy birthday to you too!! so glad i found your channel man! wishing you all the best, be well and take care

Happy Birthday, Chris. This is beautiful. I wished you'd do more video's

Happy birthday, what an amazing setup and a so special viper. Concerning the food maybe fish or crab, anyway good luck for this great experience!

Hi Chris first off Happy Birthday mate hope your day is/was a beauty. Now this habitat you just finished, really beautiful and I kinda doubt your two inhabitants notice that it was made for them. You have an incredible skill in building these homes for your beauties. Well mate gotta go, be safe and careful Cheers from Oz

I just finished my bio active terrarium for my green anole from a 15 gallon long fish tank! It is now a vertical terrarium. Thank you so much for making this video I learned so much!

Great video as alwaysss🙌🏼

Happy birthday bud great video and I absolutely loved it and absolutely amazing snakes hello from Tennessee USA

Once again, truly the best person on youtube

I love piper! My dream is to have a huge collection of them one day. Amazing paludarium!

Happy Birthday young man. That tank looks awesome great job. Carl

OMG!! Really love how this turned out! Stuffs like this I would love to do with my snake enclosure. Currently working on an Egyptian temple theme since getting a BEL ball python and naming her Kebechet, after the 'daughter' of Anubis. Love Egyptian mythology and such so figured why not have fun with this. Great vid, definitely inspired ^u^

That looks amazing and those snakes are beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is one of the most underrated channels!!!!

You have quite the talent, bro! I love this, am learning new things from you. Great scape, I am amazed by this. Wonderful work bud

Thank you Chris, and I hope you had a great birthday. I hope you have many more.

So beautiful i love your setups!

Simply stunning Chris! I’m going to be setting up a palladium for Whites tree frogs! Happy birthday! I know this is an old video…. But I’m going to wish it for you anyway! Cool snakes!

Wow, might be the best Pixie Enclosure I have seen.

Happy birthday and what an incredible setup

such and underrated channel. this woulf probly blow up if you started posting more often. i never miss a vid

oh my they are freaking beautiful! what a good job on the tank too! new sub here!

Never actually seen someone use filter foam as part of a hardscape, that's an awesome technique!

Happy birthday... Lovely snake, for sure. Its head reminds me of a Salamander or some of the more exotic frogs. Never even heard of the species of course, you never disappoint!

Those snakes are absolutely beautiful.

Jeez those vipers are stunning!

I am not a fan of snakes, but these 2 are very striking. If they are sipping around the enclosure, seems like they are pretty comfortable with you. Happy birthday

It was amazing watching them drink water. Beautiful build.

Unbelivable work this look so beautiful. I wish i could order you a terra like this 😭

Those are beautiful snake's and great build

Love your setups always

Awesome video! Such a great set up 👍🏼

Awesome video thank you. In what intervals do you do water changes?

Incredible build!!!

Awesome setup! Thank you!

This is really cool and informative and also giving me an idea and some tips on mine that I plan on doing in the super near future

this is such an incredible enclosure

Amazing I love these setups

Happy birthday! Nice tank! 🙂

Looks good bro!

All really stunning 😍

Happy birthday! The tank and the snakes calling that tank home are gorgeous!! Now, when can I hire you to fly to the States and help me make one?? LOL! Hope your bday was amazing!!

You're brilliant Chris

those pits are just stunning

Only issues I find with these set ups is at some point the plants roots will get into the pump and then the problems start. So I started making them using bulkheads and plumbing and outside canister filters. Some Building everything from the ground up and others drilling. But great videos love watching others do their thing

Those are some of the cutest snakes I've ever seen

I know it's a year old but happy birthday and this was an awesome video. You got a new subscriber!

Hey Chris. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Looks awesome !!

OOOOO MMMMYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! WOOOOOOW

I was only looking to make a lizard/fish duo tank. But now I kinda wanna snake. Dope tank brother

Hi, just found your channel, sorry late to the party, really enjoying your knowledge and expertise , thanks from the UK, take care :-)

Lovely video my friend! Thank you for sharing! Any chance you might have a link to find the foam pads for sale online 🤞🏼? Thank you!

Happy birthday Chris. 🎂

Those vipers are beautiful!

Wow what a beautiful job, happy birthday

I was just wondering when is the new vid coming out? Awesome man!!!

This is an awesome setup. 😮❤,😍

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a great day!!!

Beatiful. Nice video bro.!

It looks fabulous. I desperately want one of these enclosure but full aquarium on bottom. Not sure if I missed it but is there any filtration in this for the water?

Wow those vipers are awesome

Incredible video Thanks👍👍👍👍. It's almost like you created a living art work!! I have a 55 gallon I want to turn into terrarium😊👍👍

I literally lost my mind when I saw the Feas 😍

So I've recently done a hide for my king snake, and I tried to do the "paint on silicone and stick moss to it" and had some trouble getting moss to stick. Seemed like maybe I thinned my silicone too much. Wondering what ratio of silicone/mineral spirits you use? Thanks!

Very nice setup video was great ! voice was great ! good explanation nice work bruh !

Your set up and plants are beautifull, you inspired me, thanks! I was just wandering, if the Fea vipers are endangerd, where do they come from when you buy them?

Do I need special aquarium foam for this or can I just use the normal one?

Excellent work!!

Beautiful work! I have tried to replicate it to some extent and have not come particularly close, but it’s my first attempt. I have run into a roadblock of sorts in that I can not find anything similar to the “brown shades of silicone sealant” that you painted on the expanded foam. Will you please provide us with a link or a further description of just what it is you are using, please? Thank you in advance. BW

Did you glue the tree fern slab to the sponge pads, or did the Expanding foam on the sides keep it in place?

Awesome build! Which misting system did you use? Any foggers?

Very cool vipers

Hi I’m setting up a tank for a gtp and was wondering if the foam bricks you use at the bottom are your drainage layer???

Amazing 🤩 support you from Cambodia
