I believe I just got a pair of red eyed tree frogs from you yesterday at the expo! Just happened across your page love the content and the frogs are doing awesome!
I’m glad they’re doing awesome for you and I do remember you! I raised those lil squirts up since they were babies! I actually am planning on making another bioactive build for my other normal red eyes that I still have! As my skills have gotten better since this old video!
I’m glad to hear that I like the light it grows my plants pretty well. I believe I have a couple options of recommendation in the description. From my experience the nicrew is my go out of the two now from Amazon. Thanks for watching
I set up my first vivarium with the help of your videos. It's been over a month now and today I noticed extra small white mites. I have 5 phyllobates vittatus in the tank. What can I do?
it’s actually better to paint the background black then go through with lighter colors, helps with shadows and highlights, also a little green would give a mossy look 🙂
What lighting would you suggest for this sort of set up? I’m starting to build my red eyed tree frog habitat but my vivarium will be in a room with minimal lighting, I want the frogs and plants to thrive. Also how would you suggest heating this habitat? My home will not be warm enough to keep the habitat at proper temperature throughout the day.
I'd Recommend this lighting right is what I use 24/7 Hygger Led Light amzn.to/36ifJGL You could try to use a heat lamp with a 29 watt bulb but make sure to monitor your temps
I don’t use a uvb as it isn’t needed but can be beneficial! I do use a heat lamp with very low wattage like 29 watts with a timer on it. As I only have it on for probably 4ish hours a day.
Hey love the channel, I've literally just found you today and subscribed 😀 however I need to say that philodendron and monstera are two different types of plant what you have there is a monstera, not sure what kinda but for sure a monstera.
Hey man appreciate you taking the time to watch my content and subscribing. You’re absolutely right too! It’s kinda embarrassing that I got it mixed up. But hey what can I say I’m human!🫠🌱🫠🌱
Question, I am currently in process of making a bio active terrarium for my tree frogs but for the clean up crew I was told springtails and other super small bugs will get out of the enclosure? Wasn’t sure if you’ve had that and if you have what did you do?
I have never had any of my microfauna escape, and even if they did they would most certainly die off rather quickly. Springtails and isopods need a good amount of humidity to survive. Hope that was helpful!
I’m not having bacteria problems at all at this time. However recent studies have shown that more naturalistic vivariums such as bioactive creates beneficial bacteria for tree frogs and helps fight off bad bacteria.
