venturing into the word of dart frog keeping. thanks for the video bro, very helpful
Absolutely the best video I've seen/heard in a long time!!! Perfect
Cool and easy to do at home!! Thank you for explaining your process
Good stuff my dude. It really takes an artist to make these things look so beautiful. I will never get to this level, but do hope that I can gain enough info to make the animals happy.
Thank man appreciate the kinda words! It just takes a lot of builds, patience, and animals to get to that point!😅🐸
Can't wait to see an update!
Very cool upgrade ! Dude you have to show us how you make that moss slurry. Those moss mats were epic .
All you go to do is mix 2 parts sphagnum moss to 1 part javas moss or any moss and then blend em together. Put them in a seal tub with bright light and wait three months! :)
@@mightymorphingreptiles wow that’s it ? Nothing else . That’s so simple. I’ve watched so many videos that they add milk or yogurt also . Ok good to know . I’ll try this .
@@MichaelEugenio Yeah I don’t know how the yogurt thing started, all that does is create a ton of mold and will prob smell like shit
@@TheTropicalYard that’s exactly why I haven’t tried this on my own . Don’t want to make a terrible smell in my house lol
Yeah it’s really simple man just have patience and keep it moist
Gorgeous enclosure! I loved the build and seeing it all come together! You've gained a new sub!
Thanks for the sub!
bro I can t stop watching ur channel lol I keep replaying this video ! great ideas man for real
That is an amazing piece of wood. Nice find
I think so too!
Came out great!
Thank you!😌
Those are cute that when I’m older I’ll keep those poison dart frogs
Bonito terrario, como siempre. Saludos 🤚
Gracias amigo!
The end gave me Sylvester the cat vibes ❤️ memory lane…
very nice upgrade!1
Thank you!
Great video! I just spent ages binge watching half of your channel to get some inspiration and hardscape build ideas for my next Vampire Crab build!
Cheers for all the good advice tips and guides! Subbed for future content :)
Dude I actually have debated a vampire crab before those are super dope! Thank you for watching my content and I’m sorry you have to listen to me for virtually 30 videos straight😂
@@mightymorphingreptiles Ha ha all good! I learnt a lot about hardscaping backgrounds. As this will be my first major build. You should certainly give Vampire Crabs a go some time! They are strange little critters and currently my specialty! There are a ton of different types as well! Though they don't mix well (they hate eachother!)
Nice bro!
Thanks man!
great video
Thanks man!
I've tried hygger led light might try this led light next
I used to use hygger as it has cool features but I prefer nicrew now
Nice video. Looking at a build for some Dart frogs in about a month or two. Gives me some ideas as to my build. Won't turn out as good as this. One question where did you get your plants? Thank you
Thank you! I got them at various places such as lowes, Home Depot, reptile expos, and nurseries
Just wondering if you ripped that lemon pepper fern outta there, or rather how long it took you to rip it out lol
Thanks for sharing! Looks beautiful. I see that you wrapped the roots of many plants (p verrucosum and medoces petola) and wedged them against the drylok and wood. Would they attach themselves even to the drylok background?
I've had moss definetly stick to drylok. I dont think i mentioned in the video but I used garden wire to pin the plants to such as verucossum to the walls. That plant is an aeroid and it will develop its roots and go straight down as it grows. The mecatos I've had root to woods in other terrariums. I always wrap plants roots in wet sphagnum moss if they're not directly planted into soil.
Also thank you for the kind words and watching!
@@mightymorphingreptiles Nice awesome! thanks for sharing, I am working on a new build and I do want to do drylok background. But I am not sure if plants will root on that material. So your feedback def helps. thank you again! enjoying the videos
@@joeyp734 you’re welcome man and good luck on your build. But please don’t rely on plant rooting to the drylok whatsoever. You could always use foam potted plants into the back ground if you desire
How long does one have to wait for Drylok to cure, before putting in plants or animals? I can't seem to get a straight answer, and I've heard it can burn your plants, if you plant them right away. I have 5 of the same type of frog, but I'm scared to put the little buggars in, as I just finished the last layer of Drylok a couple of days ago. And I can still smell the fumes, though not as strongly as before.
I miss my terribilis. had mints like 10 years ago
I love terribilis!
Will this set up work for a hexagon enclosure ?
My lemon button fern be having burnt ends of some leaf can it be the lighting I'm using I decided to dim it down a bit
yo where did you find this amazing ghost wood
reptile expos
oh ur lucky, there is no ghost wood in EU
qeustion do not need to add any mister fogger or soemthing for humidty? i though frogss needed it. Also what u do for warmth or sorry im cofused haha
What temp does it stay at with the led light and how often do you mist?
do you still feed the frogs or do they live off the springstails in the tank?
When you make your moss slurry, does that enhance how it grows/expands, or is it just to make it stick better to your hardscape?
makes it stick better to the hardscape and usualyl grows in nicer!
I’ve got the same light but for some reason mine puts out a lot of green light rather than mostly the bright LED. Can’t figure it out with directions. Any thoughts?
instead of that foil on the side just paint the ugly parts black (not the whole side), so these parts do not suck but you are still able to see through :) Great job anyway ^^
I’ll keep that in mind in the next build, thanks for watching!🙃
Since you are the dart frog master in my opinion. What thermometer and hygrometer do you recommend?thanks!
I’m no master just a corny kid on the internet. I don’t use neither for dart frogs. I use my nose and visual of humidity on the glass, and just keep ‘em in room temp low 70’s
What did you use to stick the plants to the wall? And where did you get all of the plants and botanicals?
I used floral wire to pin them in and the roots of the plants were covered in moist sphagnum moss. I got my plants at nurseries, propagated them myself and botanicals at reptile expos
Lay black before the light colors !
How many frogs can be in enclosure like that?
So I did the hardscape like you did and used the dry lock and concrete die but what I'm noticing is some of the dry foam is peeling from the glass and dry lock seems to be opening up cuts and slits within the foam did you notice any odd variables when doing your terrariums with spray foam and dry lock??
For the foam peeling I’ve had that happen before. You can silicone to back edges like you’re tracing around it to prevent it from happening on future builde
im thinking of buying this led light, quick question, do you have to use another uvb light since this nicrew dont provide uvb?
No I don’t use uvb on my dart frogs. They don’t need it to survive but some as a part time can be beneficial. Just have to be careful on how you ustilize it
How much do you think you spent total? Including the enclosure?
Umm probably $300 I can’t remember it’s been quite awhile now
Does the acrylic paint ever run or dissolve? It usually isn't totally waterproof, I don't think.
Hasn't worn off for me yet!
Do you have to dig in the substrate to plant 🌱 or do you just place them
Dig then
@@mightymorphingreptiles how about the ones you place on the background or on branches how does that work/ grow
How long did it take for the spray foam to cure enough before painting?
24 hours
can i ask u how d'u remove the water from the drainage layer?
Some people siphon it out with a tube. Me I just don’t over water
Would this set-up work with other species of dart frogs?
Yes it would
What size light did you get for it
34 inch
Can you use plastic tubs tho?
You can but that no fun though as you hardly see them
Where’s a good source to buy dart frogs ?
joshs frogs and frog daddy!
So you don't need uv for dart frogs?
No uvb
How does this vivarium look now, 8 months later??
Sold the tank as I’m moving all my frogs to leap habbitats
What insect did u feed them 😂 bc i want to get a few different species of dark frogs and blazing blue collard lizard neon day gecko electric blue gecko and a few others lol
I fed them fruit flies in this videos! I don’t blame you I want all those awesome animals lol
@@mightymorphingreptiles don't u have blazing blue collards lol and where did u get the brackets for the t5ho stripe fixture in the bearded dragon enclosure video by chance I'm doing my enclosure peice by peice bc materials are expensive and I have 2 bearded dragons which they started me loving reptiles lol
Yes and I breed them. The brackets usually come with t5 ho strip! Bearded dragons are awesome pets!
@@mightymorphingreptiles urgh I never saw the brackets when I got my light stripes I guess I have to order them and are they expensive the collard lizards I mean bc I want to get 2 females and a male lol
Beautiful build bro ! You think I can use macodes petola in my leachie and crested geckos crib ?
Thank zack! Sadly I’m going to say no those leachies and cresties would smoosh that plant!
@@mightymorphingreptiles thank you !
Beautiful video, what are the gender of the frogs you added to the vivarium, can you tell us what ratio of males to females can safely live together ?
中国能买到你的青蛙吗？可以的话请给我你的联系方式。谢谢
Way too much moss for terribs...need MOAR leaf litter!!
I’ve got the same light but for some reason mine puts out a lot of green light rather than mostly the bright LED. Can’t figure it out with directions. Any thoughts?
