Thanks for the video. I prefer the longer videos with the talking instead of reading however. Hope the enclosure is heaven for the frog!
Thank you, I appreciate that feedback!
I have made a Bioactive enclosure for my pac man. It is thriving and I bought most of it from here. Highly recommend Terra Firma as it doesn’t need drainage layer. I’ve used hand sprayers and currently use misting systems. 👍
Thanks for sharing, we appreciate that!
I wanna get a pacman frog honestly coz I love how it just sits
They're great!
This video is cute but I feel like that tank is a death trap for a PAC man. He needs soft moist dirt to bury into.
Wow! What a great video! Perfect length tutorial and incredible enclosure!
Glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback!
Need to find some pillow moss. Looks great!
Love this video. Great ideas on how I can improve my setups
Glad it was helpful!
I've purchase some of your moss through Amazon and been very happy. I've just discovered your CZcams channel so I plan on watching some of your videos I'm looking to get a Pac-Man frog soon and hopefully this will help.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanx josh for that video I have a pac man frog he is kinda boring and I was having to force.feed him but now he is eating better and I'm learning when he wants to eat , do more care for them and how we know when they need to eat ..he stays buried most of the time but he comes out now when it's time to eat..thanx again
Because they are ambush predators, it is common to find Pac-Man frogs hiding or sitting in a specific spot. It's reassuring to know that they are still eating. Tong feeding can be an excellent way to bond with them.
I love this video and all of your bioactive builds! I’m currently working on a bioactive 24W x 18D x 12H exo Terra for my future Pacman frog. I’m struggling with the height of my enclosure and wanted to ask if you think it’s best to get an 18” Tall instead. I also live in Canada and can’t get my hands on all of your great products but would love your recommendations for heating and lighting.
This look great! The rattlesnake calathea is one of my favorites; a hearty calathea. I may have missed it, but what size enclosure is this? Love your videos! Just got started in the hobby a little over 2 months ago and have learned a lot from your content. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the videos are helpful to you. This is an 18x18x18 ExoTerra, I will add a link it to the description.
i was told they could eat the isopods is that true? i only did springtails in my bioactive tank for that reason
No mention of how to regulate heat and humidity?
So about leopard geckos, I was wondering if you can use those waterfall kits thank you
Incorporating a waterfall could potentially create higher humidity and moisture levels than necessary for your leopard gecko. Therefore, it's advisable to be cautious when considering this option.
Hi I have a question for any Pacman enthusiast. I have a set up almost identical to BioDudes. I have a 4 year old paceman frog that has been doing great. Has a veracious appetite. I have a 40w ceramic heater bulb, I have it set up with a thermostat at a constant 92 (set higher because the temp lowers by the time it hits substrate. the thermostat probe set about 3 inches from heat source. so the enclosure heat really is about 82 degrees day and at night room temp. I have a fogger set to keep the heat from drying out substrate. set for daytime 12 hr day 20 min on 40 min off. foil tape over most of the screen to keep fog in. Full bioactive as in video, get a few mushrooms here and there that I've read is a good sign. He thrived like this up until 2 months ago. He's buried won't come out. hasn't eaten in 2 months. He came out twice to soak in his bath. i tried feeding him then but he's not interested and re-buried himself..once in a while he croaks. The substrate is moist, the temps are good. Is it estivation? do they estivate that long? I read they should only go a month without food..Any advice helpful! TY!
regardless i hope he's doing better know but they can get really picky about their environment. mine didn't eat for 2 days because he didn't like the food 😑
Did you figure it out?
Where can we get that awesome Tiki head? Everything has a link except the Tikii head and it's the coolest thing in the tank. Well...except the frog of course.
I’m guessing that hide is custom 3D printed or something of that sort since I’ve never seen anything like that either.
Where am I able to get the bugs from the clean up crew ?
You can but it online
We have opened our up for purchase on our website. I would recommend trying to find them locally if you can to ensure they make it through the transit period, they can be really weather sensitive.
Could you also add a tomato frog or two in the bottom as well?
Does anyone know where I can get springtails or isopods
You can get them on biodude.com
