- I had requests to do this build years ago, but I didn't have or want a gargoyle gecko. That said I just recently adopted this gecko, which meant that she needed a custom bioactive vivarium.
She was given to me along with an 18x18x24" exoterra. Normally I don't use them, but I know that a lot of you do and I wanted to show you what is possible with this type of tank. Hopefully this gives you some ideas and inspiration for your next build.
Also let me know if there's anything you want more information on when I upload the follow-up video.
Substrate Mix: • Tropical Terrarium Sub...
Plant Prep: • How to Clean and Quara...
I'll get a full list of materials up at a later time, but I linked up all of the ones I consistency get comments about.

Got anyone at Aquashella I'll see you there!
hello sir please Greet me in you next upload. more power!
Are all these plants safe to use for crested geckos too?
Saitama One Punch Man he has a video about his bio active Crested Gecko enclosure, you can check it out if you’re interested. He tells what plants he uses for his cage.
Hi I’m thinking about getting anoles can you make a video about them?
@@travmendoza yes I know. But I was wondering if these plants like the bird nest fern was also safe for cresties
You are the Bob Ross of terrariums, my friend. Keep it up!
Bob Moss.
Freedom Anderson niceee
he's great at making these set ups... but he's not putting "happy little moss bushes, ever so gently, here and there." It shouldn't be that easy to replicate Bob Ross.
Karl Snow he is bob moss
max the aquarists how original
Gorgeous terrarium build, as usual! ❤🙌
Thanks brother!
You two should do a collab
Ant farm terrarium!!
Ya
I am ac fam
Great work, gave me so many ideas for future tank builds! :)
Leopard Gecko Hiiiiiiiii!
Leopard Gecko aren’t his tanks so magnificent :)
Hiiii
The legendary, Leopard Gecko? :o I love Diegos new 80 gallon, it turned out so well!
When you realize that a gecko lives in a better “room” than you do.
Tfw no kindly giant to take care of you
Such a beautiful tank I aspire to be able to build something like this for my geckos when my budget allows me to!
Feel ya
This is why my red eye tree frog vivarium is so good because I watch you😂
You’ve inspired me throughout the years to make a variety of different terrariums, vivariums, pauladariums and aquariums. Thank you
This is so beautiful, I love how you make it look so natural and earthy. I bet your home just looks amazing with all those terrariums, vivariums, and fish tanks. So much green!! You should do a tour of your home. I'd watch for sure.
You should have way more views for the talent and amount of work you dedicate to your creations! It’s the first time I say this to a youtuber! You inspired me to build terrariums for my geckos and beardies, all the best to you Tanner!
Im coming down stairs dude, one sec.
Finallyyy I have been waiting for this video since you first introduced her to us!
Amazing work as always!
Definitely the inspiration I needed right now, I'm upgrading my crestie from her already big tank to another one that is almost twice the height and I can't wait to start building it!!!
A friend of mine just recommended your channel to me and YES! I am so stoked to see someone has made a bio-active enclosure for a gargoyle!! I really hope to re-do mine's home especially now that I have seen this.
I love that with the coco fiber “ cloth” siliconed to the side walls,
Great video also,
I love it!!🥰 Love from Malaysia here~ Hope can see Asian Forest Scorpion tank setup!❤️
The hard scape on this one is wonderful, perfect for a New Caledonian gecko
Very new to your channel, I’ve never made or knew I’d been interested in the scapes you make, I don’t keep reptiles etc, but I love your channel; it’s relaxing and beautiful to watch. Thanks, Linds, Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴
Wow, that looks really good!
I am always amazed at how much stuff you can cram into an enclosure, and at the end it always turns out amazing. you are an inspiration! keep up the good work.
Stunning! Fabulous set up.
This one has always been in and it still is my favorite of all your videos because it's the one that shows so much variety and ease when it comes to this stuff it's really inspiring
my only regret is I'm running out of builds to watch, I guess I'll have to watch them all again lol, Love your channel, I've learned so much!
AWWWWW YIISSSSSSSS
Haven't watch the whole thing but I bet it'd be cool
Edit: ITS AWESOME!
The Malay Menagerie Spoiler, it’s great.
@@whisperingdragon4194 I think they finished watching this way before u commented 🤣
It's so cool! Worth the wait. She will be very happy in her new home ✌
these builds always blow me away
Thank you for doing a gecko build so full of vines and branches! Too often we see planted gecko vivariums that don't have nearly enough hiding or climbing spots for geckos. Great build as usual! :)
Looks a lot like a crested! So cute!
This is like How It’s Made but more interesting haha
The way you made the vines is brilliant. Great build as usual.
Your gecko is going to love it. It is beautiful. Great job!!!
Wow this is such a great amalgamation of your instructional build videos. Well done Tanner, you keep improving!
Just seen this video very helpful. I had thought of using hot glue to temporarily hold things in place before I foamed them in but had always thought the glue might crack the glass because of the heat.. Never too old to learn something new.
Beautiful!
You are an artist
Amazing set up!!!! Lucky Gargoyle Gecko!!!! ❤️
Wow, beautiful enclosure
I love your designs, they are like living works of art. Great job!
Great job making this vivarium. It looks really pretty, and I'm sure that your gargoyle gecko will love it.
Get some Madagascan day geckos! Giant, standings or gold dust you can’t go wrong!
As beautiful as Day Geckos are, and one of my favorites, they are definitely more of a "show" gecko, especially compared to Gargs or Crested. The latter are far more handleable, though I hear the Neon Day Geckos are safer to handle if they don't run from ya lol. But yeah, Day Geckos are beautiful.
@@hi_tech_reptiles my favorite female standings day gecko lived 22 years and was perfectly content being hand fed. But I never understood the obsession with handling reptiles for kicks, it was something I never ever did. You build a beautiful vertical tank and enjoy the living art spectacle.
These! 😎 you taught us years ago how to make manage and take care of our first tanks years ago! It's great to see how many subscribers you have. How far you have come. Really awesome. You are like the most intelligent person on all of this and helped get us started with all our creatures. Again I wish you the absolute best! 😎
been waiting for an update on this cute lil guy!
Wonderful as usual, thanks again for your videos 👍🤗
Such an amazing build!
Btw, boiling cork bark smells awesome, so worth doing anyway. I personally steam them in the oven for one hour at 300F (I add water if more is needed). Smells wonderful
Gorgeous and wonderful vivarium. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
your projects never disappoint :)
Nice vivarium. Love the layout and design. I like how you can use coco fibre for just about anything. Very versatile. Thanks for sharing
I love these videos so much! I think it's always 800% better for me and the animal(s) when the setup is very naturalistic and aesthetically pleasing. Well done!
Thank you so much!
So excited for this, I'm doing a bioactive viv for my gargoyle gecko too!!!
I was waiting for this one for a while! It looks awesome nice job Tanner.
Hopefully it was worth the wait.
U never fails to surprise me. Always a great job done!
You are an artist! I loooove watching you do your setups and it's so relaxing too! Maybe tranquil is the word? Either way, it looks amazing can't wait until your gecko moves in! 🌿🌱🦎💚
I have that same setup. I turned mine into Paludarium for my tree frogs
Edit: Who in their right mind would give this Video a thumbs down?
Maybe a video about pet safe plants? I have birds, and finding safe, non-toxic plants for my home has been a bit of a challenge. How does one know what's safe to use with different species? Anyway beautiful build as usual, you have such an eye for detail! Very inspiring, can't wait to see more!
amazing as always! i love it!
Every video I watch I’m just a little more amazed
I Love what you do. Thank you for the inspiration.
I’ve been waiting for this for ages!!!
always so intricate!!
These are my favourite videos!
Wow great build
Another great build, what a peaceful place for your gecko ^^ Keep it up ;)
This is a really nice build! You never cease to amaze me. And I’m sure your gecko loves it.
Also it was great meeting you at aquashella! You were so kind in person.
Pleasure to meet you as well!
He’s going to love it!
I've been watching your stuff man...its super relaxing
Dude, I was wondering how to build a vivarium out of my 18 by 18 by 24, and then I saw your video pop up. I have a gargoyle, and I love your videos, Keep it up dude, you're great at what you do
Your videos are really awesome to watch
Great work! I can't wait to do a large setup with orchids, ferns and bromeliads for my gargoyle geckos.
Awesome work
Turned out great!
so a neat home for the gecko
You are an artist Taner! Soo soo Beatiful! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷 mate
Great work!
Great spot for her nice work 👊✌️
Wow turned out great!
Actually might be buying a gargoyle gecko and this helped to try make its enclosure look good
great job! you make awesome videos!
I love your work !!
Can’t wait to see the gecko enjoy its new home.
You're an artist
Just discovered your channel and I LOVE your content! Keep it up!
I've been waiting for this! I bet the gecko will love how many hiding spots there are. Cool to see that you still made something awesome even with the exoterra front blocking the view.
I really didn't want to use the tank tbh, but I also think it turned out well considering the less than ideal viewing area.
@@SerpaDesign maybe you could disguise it with a thin peice of wood or something? Burn her name into it or make it look more natural with hardscape materials
Vivarium looks great 🤓
Oh I REALLY LOVE your work
Awesome work as usual.
Im amazed at the level of detail thats gone into this build , just suscribed to your channel 👍
Thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy and learn from it.
Amazing Video!
Simply AWESOME!!
Oh yes I waiting for this! I have Gecko too so thanks for Inspitation i will change his terrarium 😃
I love this setup tanner
If I was a gecko, I'd be happy as a pig in mud living there. It's gorgeous.
Heck even if I wasn’t a gecko I’d be blessed to live in there
Orange iosopods looked so cool
Wow, that's a great terrarium Tanner! I love how you created a dark and dense undergrowth with lots of hiding places and a canopy drenched in sunlight. Your Gargoyle is spoiled =)
Looks great!
Loving these videos, they are so relaxing to watch. Waiting for a part 2 of this video.
Also have a request for a tarantula planted tera.
Just awesome!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! THANK U
This gecko is living the dream
Thank you so much for listening to your viewers! I want to do something similar but for dart frogs. This gave great inspiration for that future project. I’m surprised you haven’t included dart frogs to your animal room yet.
That’s going to be one happy gecko! I used to have a pair of tokay geckos, they’re awesome geckos if you have ever get another 🦎
