INCREDIBLE Tree Frog Paludarium Set Up!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Come and watch me setup a BEAUTIFUL paludarium from start to finish! This video shows every step of the process, from foaming and carving, creating a small pond, adding plants and decor and everything in between! Paludariums are a setup that include both a land feature and a water feature. This paludarium will be used for a species of tree frog.
Thank you Exo Terra for sponsoring this video and sending me many of the products seen in this video. Exo Terra has been one of my favourite reptile companies so it is truly an honour to be able to work with them, and to be a part of this product launch. Frogs&co is their new line of products that work especially well for setups such as this paludarium, or other bioactive enclosures.

    Nice!! I am very creative and artistic to start with so anytime I've been able to design an enclosure like this I not only really enjoy it but I also remember things I've seen others do and if possible incorporate it into my own design or at least partially, sometimes I have been inspired by something I seen someone do and then put my own twist on things to the same technique and it turns out to be unique, highlighting my own individuality! I also try and put myself into the body of the animal I'm creating the Habitat/Enclosure for, and try and figure out what that creature would tell me it wanted if it could talk!

    I had a set up identical to this one and I went to pick up my frog and they refused to give me the frog because my terrarium has to many real live plants. I asked for the manager and they wouldn't let me have the frog. :(

    Thank you, what an honour! I think tanner is incredible. He was definitely some of the inspiration behind this project!
