- Project MINI DRAGON | Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink Breeding Project (PART 2)
In the second part of this series, I’ll be teaching you how to setup/build the paludarium that has proven to successfully house my red eyed skinks (Tribolonotus gracilis) and even have them breed for me!
Hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone! Welcome back! DONT FORGET TO WATCH PART#1 IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT BEFORE WATCHING THIS VIDEO! PART #1: m.czcams.com/video/ATjkwcH_Us4/video.html . Thank you so much for 100k subs, I'm so thankful! I hope you guys enjoy today's video! Don't forget to answer today's question of the day!
Congratulations my guy you definitely worked for this
I helped put together a palderium for a caiman lizard for a friend
Also yes to the extra pair
Nice to see! Regardless if you want another terrarium with skinks or not, build a shelf above this one and have the terrariums facing you the way they’re meant to. Then the lids won’t be an issue. And also you can swap them for Exoterra terrariums with front opening doors, will look even better.😊
🧔🧔🧔🧔
One more tank, dedicated to breeding Nova the white eye crocodile skink
You bet!
WAIT THERE'S WHITE EYED CROCODILE SKINKS TOO?!?!?!?
Hi everyone, just wanted to apologize for the video quality. I’ve never had this happen and have been in touch with the CZcams team who has instructed me to give the video 48 hours to troubleshoot the issue (it should be in HD but hasn’t properly rendered yet).
I can't believe you've done this
Hi bro, tell me something I didn't understand. Did you cover the partition from below or leave a gap?
@@davidcoburn2461 what do you mean?
@@Reptiliatus lmao he just trolling
3:37 guys I’m pretty sure the barriers he uses are aquarium heater covers just in case anyone was wondering
You put out positive vibes, and definitely know how to convey your knowledge of these animals in a useful way. Congrats on your 100k subs btw.
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you and I really appreciate the encouraging words! ☺️🙏🏼
Keep your enclosures where they are add another put them on different levels like steps and you can pull the lids out right over the other ones.
Haha genius! Why didn’t I think of this! 😅 thank you!
@@Reptiliatus it would get you space for another tank. and the more you can help the better for the species
I had the same idea
So cool
i love seeing how passionate you are about your reptiles. i really enjoy how you treat them like living creatures rather than collectible toys. your content is top tier!
Thank you so much! I genuinely love them all very much!
Not strictly related to this video, but you have THE most perfectly tamed animals. Sabzi stands out, but just the fact that your crocodile skinks come see you and don't just hide all day is amazing, when everyone says they're the type of lizard you'll never get to see.
Thanks for the love! I work very hard to build relationships with my animals on their terms, based on their evolutionary traits.
I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to love and care for these special creatures, and breeding them so their wild populations will hopefully be untouched, while still allowing people to experience them. I’ve loved Tribolonotus gracilis since I was a very young child, and this brings me a great deal of happiness to see.
Thank you for the kind words! Trying my best!
That terrarium putty is fricken brilliant! Dude!
Thinking about using this in the future for water dragons would be amazing
Cool!
I have been recently looking into making a palundarium for my garter snakes. They thrive a lot better "hunting" for their food, so instead of the large water dish in their tank I've been wanting to have a "pool" side for them to dive into and gobble some guppies up. Your set up helped me figure out a rough set up that I could do, so thank you for your hard work and care for your animals!
Mad respect for the work you put in on all 3 habitats🙏🏽
The Palidarium is beautiful - I don’t have any reptiles but I really enjoy watching your channel - you’re a positive light and very educational!! Seeing animals so well taken care of is a sign of a good person 😊
Today was the first day I was able to get my skinks to eat off of tongs! Thank you for all the tips!! So Happy!!!
Wonderful! My pleasure! So happy that worked out!
@@Reptiliatus Can you make a video with tips how it could work to get geckos tonge feeding?
Crocodile Skinks are such interesting and amazing animals. I may be wrong but you’re lucky to be caring and living with such animals
Love the style of these set ups! Natural yet simplistic to keep an eye on things. I’m excited for potential babies in the future!
This was so well thought out. Im so glad to be part of the 100k subscribers. So informative and structured. Great video mate!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Omg!!He hit 100k! Congrats
Thank you so much! Couldn’t have done it without you!
I am going to use this video to set up the best home for my crocodile skink Lucifer. Great video! Awesome advice and step by step
My favorite series of videos on CZcams!
☺️🙏🏼 wow thanks so much!
I really love the time & effort you put into these enclosures! These guys are sooo adorable! You"re such an entertaining & informative guy. I also love just listening to your voice. LOL Keep up the great work. I love your content soooo much!!!
OMG yes! I want Crocodile skinks! I love watching enclosures being made, and I think this would be awesome to do! Great job btw, those enclosures are really nice!
dudeeeee!!!!! those skinks are absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊🙏🏼
Yes yes yes!!!!! In love w the skinks. Its my dream animal. The sound of water only makes it better.
Why don’t you set up the tanks in a stairway fashion so that every tank is a little bit higher than the other, allowing you to open each lids.? It might work imo.
Good job on the 100k, you deserve it anyways! Greetings from France!
Thank you! Not sure why I didn’t think of this ahha
Had the same idea! Great minds think alike!
Yep, this. Don’t make life harder-as you add more animals, it’s important to make care as easy as possible. Moving tanks back and forth sounds like it’s fine, right up until you’re tired or have a broken wrist or the flu or whatever. Always maximize ease of care, and a stair fashion like Clément suggests is fantastic!
@@khills thanks!
@@Reptiliatus I learned the hard way-I was pretty soundly incapacitated last year, and would have been really screwed without my partner. Or rather, our cats would have been really screwed. But it made me realize just how important it is to make pet care as easy as possible. 😊 We made some changes that ended up paying dividends this year, when my husband had emergency open shoulder surgery the same time I was starting treatment for an autoimmune disease. Having simplified and otherwise made care easy meant we didn’t have to risk hiring someone to come take care of our cats, which would have been risky what with the whole worldwide “situation” right now. 🤷♀️
This is awesome!!! I love the putty I’ve never heard of that
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Очень очень круто!!! Такая забота за ними.
sweet. it's great that there are people like you who care's about the little critters. they all matter.
hi! love those orange spots around the eye of the skinks!!! …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ
Me too!
I have three paludariums right now, all being 24”18”24”. They were a pain to set up and are a pain to manage, but the naturalistic look makes it worth it. I’ve been wanting to redo them soon to simplify things. Thanks for the puddy tip, definitely going to try that since I get occasional clogged pumps.
Hope it works out great for you!
those animals look so cool! great job
Croc skinks are awesome I've always wanted one
I wish I could find a pair of red eyed crocodile skinks absolutely love the... Would love to have a palidarium... Been considering setting one up
I recently got a pair I live in Arizona and they were shipped from Las Vegas from gecktopia
@@pascaleotts4068... Thank you I'm gonna check that out...
@@pascaleotts4068 Oh snap, I'm in Vegas. Will also have to check out. Good looking out!
congratulations on the 100k milestone! very well deserved! I've been searching for more pet youtubers but there's many I don't like very much since I lean towards pettubers who convince me they they love and appreciate every single animal they own individually, and you're one of the few I managed to find that truly give me the vibe that these animals are more than just "a hobby" to you. it's refreshing, your pets are very lucky to have you as their owner! plus, you've taught me a bunch :)
I do wanna clarify that I don't think every pettuber is a bad pet owner, I just think some of them either hoard them (especially reptile yters) just for the thrill of getting new pets or/and that they aren't taking the best care of them as possible. I'm personally not a fan of giving your pets the bare minimum enclosure and care. but nothing I mentioned seema to be the case with you, so like I said that's very refreshing! good job!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m far from perfect and I try my best to share my experience as a pet owner humbly and openly but what you shared means a lot and I’m flattered! I certainly understand your point in clarifying your first statement too 👍🏼!
Thanks for your support!
this is wonderful
Love this so cute.
CONGRATS MAN!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! ☺️🙏🏼
Paludariums are so fun to build! I have a little 5 gal one that I think looks really nice, but it’s too small for any animals :( ideally, I would love a caiman lizard!
I would certainly love to see one of these. They look amazing
I have 2 green juvenile basilisks in a 40 wide and was trying to figure out how to do what you did. Awesome man, thanks so much.
congrats a 100k your my favorite youtuber keep up the good work and always have a good mindset! :)
Wow thanks so much! I’m so happy you enjoy my videos! Thanks for the love! 🙏🏼
Your pepperomias will absolutely thrive as long as the substrate doesnt stay too moist.
I have a 75 gallon paludarium for a trio of Neon Tree Dragons, as well as a few white's/dumpy frogs, and a 20g setup for my vampire crabs. They're my two favorite tanks.
Thanks for the heads up! I have had that species thrive in this type of setup before so hears hoping! Normally I’d give the tank a few months to grow in but we didn’t have that kind of time’
Pemeliharaan yang sangat baik untuk kadal duri (crocodile Skink). Terimakasih untuk informasinya
Great job man looks dope👏🏼
I would really like a Chinese water dragon!
Cool animals!
Me to but they need ALOT of room
Congrats! So proud of you!! I’m so excited for this breeding project since I can’t wait to own some of these wonderful creatures myself and being in Ontario I will definitely be a future buyer!!
Thank you!
They look great!
Thank you!
when we crate two ways of living is so fun and loving im so happy is i have them
Dayyans rocking that new beard :)
Yep. 👍
I read this as bread, lol, oops
🧔🏻🙏🏼
I would absolutely love to do these setups for my own crocodile skinks one day!
Enclosures came out AMAZING 🤩👍🦎❤️
I would absolutely love to have a palidarium one day! I am so excited about this breeding project because you are so right. There is absolutely no reason for us to keep taking them from the wild when you can captive breed them. Also congrats dude!!!! Been watching you for a long time and its so exciting to see you reach 100,000!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!
@@Reptiliatus Of course, just keep making amazing videos!
Definitely will love to have a paledarium and will love to have shinisaures
They are amazing animals
@@Reptiliatus animal's* 😅
My and my girls love your videos! Fun content, and really pretty set ups.
crocodile skinks are sooooo gorgeously wild. they really are like lil mini dragons. bless. they're one of my favorite skinks.
They are amazing little lizards!
@@Reptiliatus Can't wait to move out of our current house so I can get one in the future. Really enjoying your videos of them!!
As soon as I saw Part 1 of this project, I was hoping that this video would be this good and you did not disappoint! Thank you so much for all the detail!
I find it really interesting that a lot of information out here mentions that these guys aren't the best pets, even as display because they always hide. And then here's Sony and Sappy just hanging out on the filter or where ever just looking at you and being the cutest. I know you've put in a lot of work with them and it shows! In your opinion, do you think as more captive breeding is done that this species may become less timid? I'm also curious... You said you were sending two of them back, can you elaborate on why?
So excited for this! Did I see that you did two females with one male in each new enclosure? How many pairs are there total? Have you named all of your new ones? :D
Also a question, do you feel this set up would still work alright with a front opening enclosure or is the style you used what you recommend as best?
Amazing work! 🔥
These are such beautiful animals!
Thank you!
Dayyan... Do you ever watch SerpaDesign.... I think you'd like his channel. He loves plants and making enclosures. He's more a 🐟 guy though.
Of course! Tanner is a good friend on CZcams! He’s such a nice guy and his artistry Emirates through all his work!
I mostly keep land based reptiles, although I never would do it myself, is it theoretically possible to cohabitate a land based reptile that could enter water (for me it's largely snakes) and solely aquatic animals in the same bin of large enough size? or is that still too much contact/ not enough space for more solitary animals
Wow dayyan those enclosures are beautiful
Thank you!
Love the baby in the filter
A few of them enjoy spending time in there. It’s like their at the spa or something 😜
first!!!
Nice!!
@@Quamegovolvo thanks!
Bravo! 😎🎉
@@Reptiliatus thank you so much!!
It would be cool if you name one of your baby croc skinks “Fer”:)
☺️😉
they're so cuteee and congrats! ❤️
Love it when people are thankfull. Just subbed bud 🐊
講得太好了!
I have a palideram for my tiger salamander and it's awesome!
I have setup a paludarium and just recently. I did one for Tree frog and Firebelly toads.
The enclosures look awesome! You did such a great job! Your babies will thrive.
Thank you very much!
Those are beautiful enclosures
Thank you! I’m sure they’ll look a million times better once they’ve grown in more!
What a great set up! And I didn't know Crocodile Skinks even existed!
Always look for tiny creature like a crocodile love it
Your more than welcome kind sir🥰 I love Red Eye Skinks❤️ especially Sunny and Sappy.👍🏻
☺️🙏🏼. Thank you kindly!
I love to see people making beautiful animals that are more accessible to Canadian enthusiasts!
Thank you! Me too!
your a good person
Add more!!!! Beautiful
Thanks!
Hi I really like the enclosures that you have set up red eye crocodile skinks. 🦎❤️
Such amazing animals
Thank you!
Very nice set up ! really enjoyed
Thank you!
Awesome as always!
Many thanks ☺️🙏🏼
good luck on this project. I'm going to look further into that terrarium putty. I think that's going to work great in the paludarium I'm building.
Yes i would love to have one
It's such a cute animal!
Agreed!
glorious.
I loved how you set them up would love to try this type of tanks thanks
Thank you!
Awesome video yea one more thank would be awesome
Congrats! And awesome paludariums
Many thanks! 🙏🏼☺️
Pet cute! Great chanel!
Interesting, looks just like my next build for my H.gigas, thanks for the step by step boss.
Glad to help
Found this video since im wanting to make a palladium for guppies and red eyed skinks.
As for your tanks if you flip them to tuch back to back you would only need to have lid opening space between every other tank giving you lots more room
I love them. I also love alligators, caimans, and crocodiles. They are fascinating to me, all of them.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Congrats on 100k 1 million here we come!!!!
😎🙏🏼 thank you!
Can't wait for those babies! My 40G breeder paludarium is almost ready for planting
Thanks! That’s exciting! Hope it goes great!
Good job on the enclosures they look nice cant wait to more crocodile skinks
Many thanks!
Nice new setups
Thank you!
