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 want this terrarium so bad. I contacted my local reptile store the moment Exo Terra announced this. I saw your photo the other day, and I guessed that you got an early one. This gives me hope that I could get one soon.
wow 🤩 it really does look 👀 incredible!! 🦎❤️

Now, how do you go about cleaning the background, or do you clean it? Personally, I’ve stayed away from making backgrounds because I worry about how I would clean it. I doubt you can take it out, clean it, then put it back.
Seriously my favorite background you have made!! I’ve been debating for a long time to do my own background for one of my reptiles, this gives me a lot of inspiration! Also, what did you dye the dry lock with?

Great video and paludarium! I was wondering though (since I really want to do this as well): If I ever decide to change the setup in my terrarium, could the foam be removed without leaving any residue on the glass?
Hi emma, are you sealing your acrylic paint with varnish or other stuff like mike? Great video by the way!
I love this! Could you tell me what filter you used?
Hi great video one question what did you use to color the dryloc
when I first saw this video I was super excited to see what you would put in this beautiful tank and I've been checking back to see an update video but you still haven't come out with one from what I've seen so, I'm just curious if it's on the way or not??

Is the foam, dry lock and paint all safe for the frogs to be on? How do you seal it?
@LadyBrandy24
2 жыл бұрын
Yes the foam and everything she used is animal safe. The dry lock is a sealant.
Emma, after creating such a natural and beautiful looking background, I was sooo sad to see it get devoured by all the large plants you added! 😢 I did read tht u used wht u hd on hand, so I'm hoping u will have a WALL REVEAL❣😎❣ ...w/pots carved into foam for hanging plants & more!!! 🤞🐸🤞
Preparing to get a Brazilian white tree frog within the next year or two, definitely want live plants & All (:
Question, the Ayer didn’t sleep through the rocks? Also the water overtime evaporates right? I’m so so brand new to frogs and need so much help
I saw on someone else's channel that the weight of the drylok can weigh down the foam and cause it to shrink and peel from the glass, have you ever had this problem?? I love your background and would love to create something similar, just want to cover all my bases first
Is the dry lock required or is it just a preference thing??
Great breeding environment☺️
hey im wanting to build something similar but im confused do you need any filter for the pond area?

Some waterflow I'd enough along as there's plants and some sorta dirt or rocks. A filter would be very beneficial, but waterflow and plast should be good.
Just built a tank for my new vampire crabs, struggling to keep the heat where I want it tho 😖 trying combos of heat mats, water heater, and blue heat bulbs, I'll be happy when it's perfect
You don’t seal the paint? Water based paints arnt water proof?
Would you still be able to make a pond without the draining at the bottom (not the rocks lol but the drain on the actual tank) thank you !
Would something like this be good for a black eyed tree frog
How do you keep your branch from molding?
Can anyone tell me where to get the tree frog terrarium? I can only find this one place in Canada but they don’t ship it.

Can I use this method for whites tree frogs?
Hello Emma..its extremely beautiful..It may sound a little silly but could you make a video on how to clean it? :)
What did you dye the dry lock with?
How does one aquire that enclosure I can't find it
Looks super dope ....gotta wait a week :( haha
How deep can the water be? Is it any danger of the frog drowning?
Also how do you prevent water spots s?
How would you be able to clean out the pond
