How has the GTP gone after a year in the enclosure ? I Have seen a lot of controversy about them in bio active enclosures. Really interested to see an update. Awesome build looks amazing
By far the best video on this process. Thanks so much for posting!
The definition of, if you're going to do something, do it right. Beautiful job!

@Reptile Way how large do you feel a bearded dragon enclosure should be?… I’m about to upgrade as Fernando needs more space.., but everything about is 1200x600x600… I feel he needs more space than that …
I’m attempting to replicate this for my beardy, but I live in the US. What would you recommend for sealer? (We don’t have the same pond sealer and I don’t want to hurt her)
I’m confused with the sizes of the plywood
I've got a rescue beardy who had pretty severe MBD when I got him. His skeleton permanently deformed and his muscles and nerves suffered some long term damage, but with adaptations his quality of life is pretty good, especially now that his bones have hardened back up with intense supplementation and appropriate lighting. I've been working since I got him to make his cage more accessible so he can be more active without overexerting or hurting himself. I didn't see this build until I already made up the skeleton for my little Stan Man's ramp hide, but I took a lot of pointers from your other videos! I just have to glue two more pieces of foam in place then I am gonna be able to start the spray foam layer! It seems sickly owners attract sickly animals, though, so I have to take the build super slow to avoid landing myself on bed rest for a few days or weeks
I watched further into the video and yeah, vet bills for rescue reptiles are no joke! Both of my bearded dragons are currently rescues with disabilities, and I've had one of them for a little over a year and the other for less than half a year, and all together they've probably wracked up about $3000 in vet bills since I got them! Even my perfectly healthy ball python tends to cost about $400 a year in vet fees, just for wellness check ups and now yearly blood work since she is getting up there in age! It isn't as much as my cats because there isn't a need to get things like vaccines and flea prevention, but the vet fees are always a huge part of my budgeting for new pets (especially the insurance, I had a uromastyx that grew quite sick in his later years and wasn't eligible for insurance by then, so on top of being worried sick about my best buddy I also had to worry about crazy bills for imaging and tests)
If I wanted to make a pond with the same process, is it safe to keep water in there with the snake?
Out of all the videos I sifted through, your channel is by far the most well explained so thank you!!
@TheBonesPost thanks for the kind words. Soo glad the videos are proving useful 🙏😊
What brand of lights do you use
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙌

Hi there, new owner of a 6 month old northern BTS. I was about to purchase some of the Ziwi and K9/Feline natural cans but noticed they both contain fish and mussels and other more natural brands often contain potato starch. So, my question is, how safe are these controversial ingredients and should I avoid dog/cat foods with seafood and/or starches or is it truly ok to feed these to blue tongued lizards/skinks?
@pirad1922 Thanks for the comment. With Ziwi peak (and a vast amount of other natural dog and cat food brands), yes it does contain some fish, but proportional to the contents of the can and amount of fish that you would be feeding your Blue-tongue lizard in one-serving size (with the additional ingredients you can mix into it, vegetables, different cuts of meat, organs etc) is quite minute. It can be alarming when you google 'can I feed my Blue-tongue lizard fish'. The answers you will get are: - Absolutely not - risk of mercury poisoning (Tuna especially) - risk of parasites and toxins - high salt - high fat content (Keeping in mind these are all risks for humans, yet people still eat fish) I can say I have had no Blue-tongue lizards die when brought up on the diet I have shared. I have fed adults, babies and everything in between and they thrive. I would recommend do not feed them a bowl full of fish. However, with the amount that is in these cans, and also mixed with fresh ingredients (vegetables, cuts of meat and organs, fruit) it is totally safe for your Blue-tongue lizard. However, if you are worried, you can make up food entirely from fresh ingredients. It just takes a bit more time and effort. But essentially creating a base mixture of safe vegetables, different cuts of meat, organs, fruit (small amount as it is a treat) and then add Calcium, vitamin D3 powder (can also add a superfood supplement powder) you will have the ultimate Blue-tongue lizard food mix. The following video goes more in depth into their diet: czcams.com/video/NkgsBdSL4iY/video.htmlsi=Jw82-j0TsHJJR4CH
I know this is a bit old, but I have a 9 month old Halmahera and am wondering whats a good amount of handling. Hes still nervous, specially if I move my hand too much he will mouth open. So I try to remain slow around him/her
This is absolutely beautiful and multifunction enclosure! I can tell the snakey is so happy with his new home ❤
@@Arabesqueveronica thanks for the kind words 🙏 😊
Your video really helped, thxs. Please tell me where I can buy your large cave like hide.😊
Thank you for all the techniques you have showed me. If it weren't for you, I'm not sure what I would've done.
What type of knife do you recommend for carving, I don't have a hot wire foam cutter and am looking for specific recommendations
Looks great! How many hours/minutes did you wait for the grout to dry before scratching details into the rocks?
You’re frickin cute
My mom has a bearded dragon but really does not care for it that much and it breaks mu heart. She loved it when she first got it but now about 8 years later she feeds it and that is about it really. On my last visit I had to take her outside onto the sun as it was 35°C outside and she was in the coldest room in the house, with her heating lamp off. I noticed both her nostrils were plugged up from shedding about a year ago. I managed to dislodge one with eyebrow plucking tweezers but the other one was really lodged in. Mom was surprised that you even have to help them with that, the poor thing had to breathe through mouth pretty much her entire life, cooling herself down as a byproduct. I ordered sharp thin tweezers for modelers and managed to dislodge the other blockage on that last visit while we were out in the sun. I think the nostril was mildly inflamed but she was visibly happy she can breathe free now. I am really disappointed with my mom in this regard. She always is so excited for new animal and then after couple years when the reality of responsibility for it settles in she just neglects it, never educates herself on what it takes to take care of said animal or what it needs... I got her some vitamin supplements and mineral powders to dunk veggies or insects in so that the dragon gets the proper nutritional balance in her diet. I'd take it but I'd encourage my mother to keep doing this with other animals and also I live in a really tiny apartment and one pet (a cat) is already enough there. Also the poor thing is dehydrated... instructed mom on how to bathe her but doubt she'll do it.
I have a Darwin python and am getting her a much bigger tank and have been wanting to add my own background for it with a waterfall I don’t want to make it bio active just a waterfall, but I couldn’t find any info on wether that it’s ok and safe for that species. What do you think?
That belongs in a museum! What a work of art!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
How do you clean these enclousers?
Good question. Because you have put waterproofing over the top of the paint work and rock work, it makes for easy cleaning. Water and a soft cloth for general cleaning. Or soapy water (I personally use earth dish washing liquid: natural based product we get in Australia, grey water safe, it does not contain nasty toxic chemicals, safe for reptiles and lots of other animals) for stuck food, it even makes for easy cleaning when it comes to a disgusting Bearded dragon poo. The waterproofing also creates a fibreglass texture, which adds to the ease of cleaning. I would avoid harsh chemicals and alcohol based cleaners as this may have a high liklihood of striping the waterproofing. Hope that helps!
Wow. Amazing.
Thanks 😊 🙏
What kind of glass did you use for the doors?
It's not glass as the price of glass this size is astronomical. It is clear Acrylic sheet (some refer to it as plexiglass). This is fine for Bearded dragons and some other lizard. However, I would not recommend it if you're doing a build for snakes, as this material has slight bendiness to it, which enables some snakes to escape. Here is a link to the product I used: www.bunnings.com.au/suntuf-900-x-600-x-5mm-clear-acrylic-sheet-clear_p1010490?store=6400&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhc8BT-8YsyekYlmTIpTpgm01kUrz1-dd_THLCzusN4WBHs23jrN6_mBoCmCoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I wonder what a *5x2x2 * is in gallons?! That's what I have currently, for my 11 month old, ball python.
Hello i am not english and i wanted to know if grout and concrete are the same thing ?
20kg of grout!? How heavy is the final product?
So beautiful! Magical!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 😊
I can’t wait to do my first build with your vids as a guide 🥹 they’ve been SO helpful!
Thanks for the lovely comment. Soo glad the video proved useful. Happy building! 🙏😊
I have the same name as urs lol
What an amazing video; I learned a bunch! My black-headed python is 4 years old and about 2 meters long. I feed him a smallish medium f/t rat every 2 weeks. After watching your video, I might start varying this frequency to keep him on his "toes". He tend to eat these rats tail first, so I need to remove the back legs so he doesn't get stuck on them. I also might get him a UVB light now as well; didn't think he needed one, but your advice on this topic make a ton of sense. I'll do whatever he needs to make him happy and to live as long as my 24 year old Children's Python. You've earned yourself a new sub! I also see you make and sell all the wonderful decorations you use in your videos. Great job! I'd order from you in a hearbeat if you weren't on the other side of the planet. Keep up the great work!
Late to the party, but great video! I've had my male Children's python for 24 years and he's still going strong. He has an amazing personality and loves interacting with people. I wish we could get the marbled Children's Pythons here in the US. They are so beautiful!!!
Squiggle looks Incredible ❤
Sooo for us in America - what grout would you use? I can only find the brand you have listed in Australia lol
Wow 😮 you are amazing 👏🏼
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 😊
