The new Bill Nye the science guy! Great video Clint, you provided very easy instructions so this project isn't so daunting for us!
w/o the left wing garbage
Bill Nye wears a bowtie for the same reason that Clint always tucks his in. Maybe Clint should make the switch!
@@420spacecowboy Left wing garbage? I think you mean factual science. Stay mad.
@@Jimins__Pookie what was the guy talking about?
@@entity107 Yeesh, this was a year ago, I forgot, sorry. Him being mad that Bill Nye supports trans people is my best guess but
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still can't believe that there's no Clint's Reptiles themed ties.
WE DEMAND MERCH TIES
It is a shocking oversight...
Yes we do !
As someone who collects and wears ties on a daily basis, I agree, MERCH TIES!
Gus Gus pattern would make a cool tie design 😎
Merch ties would be stinking rad.
This is an excellent enclosure build BECAUSE he makes a few mistakes and tells you how to fix them.
YES! I love how humble he is!
I came to say this!! All my builds go this way. It's so important to be flexible and know how to maneuver around setbacks.
Pretty much exactly what I thought. I'm glad he's not afraid to show his "fails"
@@amandastakeonit7402 as though Clint makes mistakes for any reason other than educational purposes
Clint giving me tie-tucking advice on the assumption that of course I'd be wearing a tie while setting up my Paludarium is the most Utah thing in this video and it's incredibly wholesome
Clint: Tuck your tie!
Me, a person who hasn't worn a tie in over a decade: *scribbles notes frantically down* TUCK TIE
He keeps reminding people of their ties, like ties are the default for people who would construct enclosures.😄 Never change, Clint.
Are they not?? 👔
Ties are very important
Do you still need to do this if your tie is actually _made_ from expanding foam?
Uh, asking for a friend.
@@hjalfi hahahaha thank you for the laugh!
You must dress for the occasion, you don't want your regular clothes to get dirty.
What a great way to start the day. Drinking coffee, and watching the most positive reptile youtuber in existence. Thanks, man.
You're so welcome!
No offence Clint but I think the most positive reptile owner is snake discovery
@@terrariatips818 I love Emily and her channel very very much! Buuut I still this Clint has this one. His enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. I think they are very nearly tied, but Clint is just a haaair ahead.
Very cool build! One idea with the pump. Get a PVC tube that the cord fits thru and put that behind the spray foam, that way the pump can be completely changed with less effort.
"You have eleven minutes until you die" Clint 2021
Just casually says that and then moves on lmao
“This is Peat Moss, younger brother to Randy”
Literally laughed out loud 🤣
You're my kind of people
Hey Clint, you probably heard this a number of times already but the positivity in your videos is so great for getting back into a good mood after a stressful day of work. I'm really thankful for your work on CZcams. You can clearly tell how much you love what you're doing. You being as authentic as you are is always a pleasure to watch.
I will totally build a paludarium in the future. I hope i can either get this kit sent to germany or find something similar here.
Quick note on sand as an aquatic substrate:
It almost ALWAYS will cloud when putting water in for the first time. You have to let it set for a few hours to settle.
But it really wouldn't work with the pump that low, regardless.
Undoubtedly the best reptile and amphibian CZcamsr, and arguably the best pet CZcamsr. And possibly the most under rated CZcamsr!
Pewdiepie is the most underrated
A tip for using the silicone. If you’re trying to get a lot out for doing a background as apposed to a fine bead, if you cut the spout closer to you it will be easier to get a substantial amount out.
Great that you showed that things don’t necessarily work out first time. Looks great at the end!
Thanks for this tip!
Im making a paludarium-like setup for my singular grey treefrog! She likes to sit in her water bowl no matter how damp her enclosure is, so I'm giving her the opportunity to do what she likes most!
This.....almost makes me want to wear a tie just so I can tuck it next time I do a build. Thanks Clint! You make me and my mom (who is actually a soon to be retired Biology teacher) proud :)
I love that You let us see the "mistakes". 💜
Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes so you don't have to make them yourself.
@@ClintsReptiles Excactly my point! 👍
I think is just what I needed this morning 🥰👍 You have a uvb lamp there, I wonder what the creature is.
Any guesses??
@@ClintsReptiles its a miniaturized temnospondyl of some kind.
@@ClintsReptiles I think maybe a dart frog
@@ClintsReptiles poison dart frog???
Yellow Spotted Climbing Toad? Mossy Frogs?
Heads up , depending on your town water supply, it may only contain Chlorine, and not Chloramines, If it is only treated with Chlorine, you can let your water sit in an open container (no lid) for roughly 24 hrs and the chorine will evaporate out, so basically you don't even need the Chorine Treatment bottle. Call you local water treatment centre if your curious about whats in your tap water. :)
For once I’m early, thank you for the enjoyable calm start to my morning
I'm so glad you could be here!
I love your profile picture
It helps to build the scape on foamboard and then gluing the foamboard to the back of the tank once you're done. It's less messier.
I love Josh's Frogs! They are my local reptile supplier! They even put my beardie on their website for a bit after we got a picture of him looking at his box full of bugs we bought from them.
that expanding foam looks delicious. the forbidden whipped cream
Oh yeah, adding the sphagnum moss and substituting the sand for gravel was definitely a better option. It looks AMAZING!
The tank turned out awesome and the frogs are adorable! I've built a bunch of enclosures with the spray foam/silicone/substrate backing and learn something new each time. Really mashing in the dirt into the thickly applied silicone is super important. Also, if you get a dispensing gun that screws on to the bigger cans of spray foam, you won't need to use an entire can (or throw away what you don't use). The nozzle's not too expensive and more than pays for itself pretty quickly.
Thanks for keeping our ties safe Clint!
I love this channel regardless, but what I really like is it's an enclosure most of us can build, which is nice. Thank you Clint, you are interesting, enthusiastic and a great advocate to the hobby.
This is one of the most beautiful paludarium I've ever seen! 😁
I've always wanted a paludarium. They can be gorgeous.
About 15 or so years ago I built a 2' x 2' x 4' enclosure with complete 2' x 4'waterfall. Used PVC piping, great stuff,and metal screening,paint and aquarium sealant to seal the waterfall from top to bottom. The one side was the waterfall 2' x 4' with a reservoir at the bottom and sand box for Halloween crabs on the bottom. It was for my chameleon. Really fun to build, Cost about 250 to build. Top opened as well as 2' of the front.
I like that you are showing this as an obvious beginner. Tanner at Serpa is vastly more skilled at this but in the end this video showed me that anyone can do a cool design and make it their own by just going for it and I like that you didnt just edit the video to make it seem easy.
The bloopers are hilarious, need more of those, leave them right where they happen in the video!
You know someone on youtube's a dad when they have a multi-tool.
This one is the best!!!
I have a multitool and no children. If I make a YT channel, is that how I become a father?
@@Tink00 You will have many babies
multitools are literally the dadliest tools in the known universe, they're almost as versatile as a real dad
😂😂
I've just been thinking of building one of these, perfect timing!
We've been monitoring your activities.
@@ClintsReptiles With an ackie?
Of course!
Whenever I see a new Clint’s reptiles video, I click on it without even reading the title.
Oh damn, that light can turn on the royalty free music too!
Just bustin' ya bohls a little, Clint, awesome job as always!
How fun! My baby woke me up early and I got to start the day with a fun cage build. :) Lovely new frogs!
What a fun build and those mystery creatures are so cute. Might need to get some.
Love the content. I have been making enclosures like this for a while now. I have found that the expanding foam doesn't adhere well to smooth surfaces like glass or acrylic. The best way to prevent the foam from pulling away from the sides is to lay down a thin layer of silicone and spray the foam while the silicone is still wet
I'd love to see a video on keeping pet clams and/or oysters.
Pretty cool Stary Night Reed frogs!
I find a battery powered leaf blower on the lowest setting is a good way to get rid of that excess substrate from the back . Do make sure it is on the lowest setting though . I recommend the Black & Decker which has a setting availability between six and one instead of just high and low .
Those little reed frogs are Awesome RAD!!! Love the set up!
I hope GoHerping watches this, lol. 😂🤣 His failed terrarium was frustrating to see. Ugh.
Go, Clint! 💪🏽🦎🦎🦎
@Gecko Queen, if it's that twirpy little dude that has no clue..or just enough knowledge to convince people of the wrong doings, yep!! I just can't say more, because it gets unfriendly from here.
@@amandastakeonit7402 Has he spread misinformed? If so what was it? I'd like to know since I haven't heard of this before
@Gecko Queen Hate used to be such a strong word when I was growing up; nowadays it’s misused to start drama, cultivate victimhood and to promote hierarchies within clicks. I don’t hate anybody. I love GoHerping.
You should ask you, is it so wrong to critique the failings that of someone who makes an outstanding living of off critiquing failures?
GoHerping is a funny kid who has cool editing skills, albeit he fails upward and laughs all the way to the bank. Blessing! But I would think the least someone could do is make an proper juxtaposition regarding his content, no?...
No need to burst through the Sheetrock and swing from the drapes. My comment was for those who see the difference. If you see none then it’s okay to ignore me. I’m already an irrelevant voice. I guess I apologize to you personally for leaving my compliment to Clint.
@@halodp9161 Go check out New England Reptiles video correcting Alex. He has yet to rebuttal. He also just made a video today explaining that 1/10 of the reptiles that are sent to him die in transit. Alex loves reptiles so he hoards them. Sells them and particularly profits of showcasing by way of CZcams the unboxing and care mistreated animals.
I personally don’t see how his distain for Petsmart, Petco, Reptile Expos, etc. is any different than the mild criticisms he receives for substantially profiting from receiving and shipping. It is educational for those who get in over their heads but he does the same by acting as an Ark, yet, he criticizes those who have decades of amazing expertise the likes of which he hasn’t even sook to look into.
Alex should contact at the least Brian Barczyk or NERD by the same standard we should be as nice to him, no?
SerpaDesign or Kamp Kenan or Chandler’s Reptile Room or Dāv Kaufman or Clint’s Reptiles and many others use their wherewithal to visit and learn from each other humbly. They don’t criticize snarkily other content creators and strangers without putting forth their best efforts in an exemplary manner.
Clint just did for instance. Misinformation will be up to you to investigate by seeking out contradictory informers on CZcams, lest you just be loyally bias!
The evidence for me is that in his inability to setup a vivarium, i.e., without going overboard (e.g., on price/time/resources wasted, using a swords and big knives instead of acquired basic crafts/hardware tools, needing much talents/help from friend to get a profession outcome).
Alex is not the only one who knows how to point out nonsense!
Artists critique, aye.
@@amandastakeonit7402 Likewise, lol 😂. He has a lot of public defenders! Yikes.
Apparently, it’s hate-filled speech to say one word about him as he does others perpetually, lol. 🙄🤣
I just set up my own paludarium for my starry night reed frogs, also from Josh's. Now I'm envious. I need to get them into a larger tank, and use less of a substrate base, more of a water base, like you did. I wanted the soil for additional plants/filtration, but now I'm second-guessing that.
Great job!
Since CZcamsrs rarely comment after the first bit that they release a video, and you seem to be someone to ask. Are these good beginner frogs? How about dart frogs? I know someone that wants to get little frogs, she mentioned dart frogs once I said that domestically bred darts have little to no poison since it's assumed to be mostly if not all attributed to their diet in the wild. Has Clint ever done a video on whether the darts or the SNR frogs are good pets, to your knowledge?
@@amandastakeonit7402 I'm unaware if he's done a video. I can say Darts are easy and enjoyable pets, without hesitation. Feeding often and building a proper setup can be tricky, but if you do your research? Gold. Reed frogs are like a mix between
tree frogs and dart frogs. They want a little of everything. So long as you can secure small feeder insects, and a proper (high humidity) setup with regular mistings I find them incredibly enjoyable.
Of my Pixie, Pacman, darts, and reed, I enjoy the reeds the most to be honest. They are relaxing, their call is relaxing, and they are just beautiful little guys.
Sorry, just realized I didn't really answer your question.
I would say starry night reed frogs are good beginner frogs, provided you are familiar with how to set up a tank and keep humidity. Just beware their tiny size making escape a constant danger.
Your a great guy, makin building fun. To help out filtering, cut filter foam the size of the tank and place over pump then add you gravel, this will protect your pump and give a bio fiter too.

I actually bought this paludarium and most of the other stuff a couple of months ago. But I just couldn’t get past the planning stage. Thank you for making this video and giving me some confidence and an idea of what it could look like! I am super excited to begin now!
I love how happy you always are
"I informed you thusly!." 🤣🤣 best reference to date.
I've watched this video several times and that part always gets me😂
hmm, nobody told me being a biologist means you need to be something of an artist as well.
It doesn't hurt :)
hahahaha lol thank you for the laugh!
Nice. I'm starting to want frogs
It's so important to be flexible and know how to maneuver around accidents and setbacks. Flawless!
Love me some enclosure builds.
"AND ACTION!" Cracked me up!
Man I am loving these unannounced bonus Wednesday videos!!! Nothing like some stinkin rad videos to help get me over hump day.
It does make the week seem shorter :)
Yeah I just made my 1st custom background for my T and yes, u have to lay the silicone on very thick then press it all in. I used an entire tube of silicone on a 10 gallon tank sized background and that was also with me going around many rocks I used. Just to give u an idea of how much you, or anyone needs. I also went thru an entire can of great stuff. Another tip... I built it all OUTSIDE of the tank, applying it to the correct measurement Styrofoam sheet that can then be siliconed to the back of enclosure when finished. This allowed me to make it 3D and avoid the ugly exposed sides of the layers showing thru the glass & all anyone can see on the back is the black backside of the Styrofoam sheet I used. I'm actually really proud of myself for my 1st attempt. I wanted it to look just like an exposed creekside bank, I used pieces of wild grapevine to look like exposed tree roots.
I genuinely like the tie you are wearing.
This was so fun to watch! And those little frogs are so beautiful, it would be awesome to produce some babies!
Clint: Remember to tuck you tie!
Colin Furze: Pardon me?
Future idea but those velcro with tape on the back you can by at most stores, can be put on the back where the foam fills. Then you can use the foam that will fill in the velcro which will support the weight and last almost forever.
The paludarium look's amazing. The frogs are also cool . Great work 👍👍👍
The final product looks amazing! 👏
I love this channel
You should do more of these, and help people with setting up a enclosure
Appreciate you showing everything even mistakes, very helpful
Using the greatstuff for ponds helps with the look because its black and blends better with peat moss
Dry lok and cement liquid color is the best background options! Tried and true. Troy Goldberg on CZcams is the OG of this method. Love your content 🥰
That Randy Moss joke 👌👌 thanks for the great content as always! I’ve never felt confident that I could build my own enclosure like this but I just may give it a try!
I think I’m leaning more important stuff for my future than half my school classes from your channel
I’m convinced you dress and look polite even while you’re sleeping
lol fixing his tie as he changes position. Honey, cuddles up, he tucks the tie ;)
clint is awsome
Probably one of my favourite videos ever!!!! Id love to see you do this, on a larger scale. It would also be so rad, if you would make an arid setup (fx for a beardie or an uromastyx). Love what you are doing;-D
You are very awesome 😎. I love that you let us see you put stuff together awesome.
They are beautiful!
It’s always a pleasant surprise when you upload in the week!
😁
When I built my most recent paludarium a couple of years ago, I stuck a piece of PVC pipe in the corner to run my pumps power cord through and then covered that and the background with expanding foam. I made a plug to go inside the pipe and match the background in order to prevent anything from getting inside the pipe (PVC Diameter only has to be big enough to retract the power cord through). Should you have a pump failure, It makes switching out pumps 100x easier. And everything is still hidden by the foam. I learned the hard way when the pump on one of my Paludariums had an internal failure and I had to tear out a large section of the background to get it out and the new one installed.
I love making exoterra waterfall tanks.
It is fun!
You remind me of bob ross in all the right ways
Love you bro! Great Vid!
Oh this is great! That is a stunning enclosure.
I was thinking about getting a few last summer when Josh's Frogs had a sale going, but I wasn't sure whether they would be active enough/comfortable enough to be out when I and my family are around, so I held off to do more research. I can't wait for the follow up video!
Thank you so much! They are nocturnal, so they aren't out much during the day. Video coming soon!
@@ClintsReptiles It was a bot lol. They couldnt make a comment 10 hrs ago lol
How you comment 10 hours ago
@@craigjamaljohnson I think it’s a patreon supporter because he said they get videos early
Great video, Clint. Next time you do one of these, ive got another method of attaching substrate that has been working really really well for me. Make the same mix you did here (eco earth, sphag moss and sand), get it good and wet, and then mix in a fair bit of gorilla wood glue. Mixed straight into the sunstrate, til it turns into a thick creamy slurry. Then just press it right to the background, either direct to glass or onto the carved expanding foam. It takes a little longer to dry but it comes out really well and seems to hold up much better than silicone, and provides a much better surface for plants to cling to.
That's similar to what I normally do. I was trying something new here.
Second backdrop is definitely much better. I want frogs so bad lol, but gotta wait til i got more space
Great video! Would've loved some more frog footage though along with a few species related facts maybe
A video on them will be coming soon.
Hands down agree that Josh's frogs is great. Been buying front them for years. Always great service and everything is always alive and healthy. Even the crickets. Side note, using vinegar as a cleaning of the tank before hand I have never had problems with foam coming off in high humidity enclosures. May help in future goes.
Please do a Starry Night Reed frog vs Poison frog video!!!!! I'm debating ...☀️💜💜☀️✝️
hello great video Clint
Thank you for showing the process including troubleshooting and changes. I’ve learned so much and feel ready to give it a try.
I've found that it really helps to push it down really hard and almost rub it into the silicone.
Been a few hours or a few days... Clint comes back with a full beard!!
This is so cool! It gives me so much insperation.^^
Just a suggestion:
When you have the possibility to hide a tube (like in the cork bark), use it to run the pumps cables through that. (It should be wide enough for the power connector)
You can (and should) seal this tube with a blob of silicone on both sides so the animals cant get into them.
The reason is that If the pump for any reason malfunctions it can be replaced quite easily. If the power cables is behind all that foam and silicone you need to carve it out and redo it, which is a pain when you don't have a good space where your animals can stay for the time beeing.
But altogether i like it very much, please provide some updates in a couple months when stuff has grown on the moss :)
Those are usually built into the pump and can easily be replaced.
These are really cool looking frogs! I've never heard of this particular species before, always exciting to see something new!
When Clint teach us the importance of making a waterfall,and you loke the video cause it's awesome and you like his channel:
Cause i do.
Thank you!
Your welcone as always
These enclosure build videos are STINKIN' RAD!!!!
Please make more of these totally bodacious videos!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them. Well keep 'em coming :)
All most ❤❤❤❤
Your enclosure build videos are so good 😍 perfect start to the day
Beautiful build.
I found with the expanding foam, when ur done with it if u hold it upright and spray a blast of air to clean the straw out then u can cut off a piece of the straw to reuse the rest of it down the road.
duuuude, i love your energy!
i'm more of an aquarium guy, but i'm watching anyways!
Keep it green 💚
This is amazing! I am dying to see an in depth video about the paludarium behind you! I MUST KNOW HOW IT WAS BUILT! Anyway, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Thanks for brightening up my day Clint!
