  • Today we’re going to be taking a look at how I perform water changes on my red eyed crocodile skink (Tribolonotus gracilis) paludarium enclosures! The best part? We also discovered a newborn baby you’ll get to meet!

    Over 10 years ago i almost got into croc skinks but didn't has the information and ressources about them was not as good compared to now. Been watching your vids about them... ..and yep the temptation to get into it is greater than ever. Thanks for the great work with these beautiful animals, cheers from Northern Quebec!

    Thanks to you I have a new croc baby about every 2 months and up to 6 babies now and all doing amazing 👌. Definitely have an awesome new enclosure build in the works but favorite part is watching the adults feed their babies hands down favorite part about keeping this amazing species. If interested check out some of the footage I filmed on here. Have an awesome day everyone

    There's a few things I can think of that might make it easier. A small dedicated Shop-vac would handle water with debris in it, no problem, and you wouldn't have to dry the tanks down bf the day you want to clean. If you put the pothos slips in small aquaculture cups with gravel or biomedia, they could be pulled out for cleaning without disturbing the roots. To save on sink cleaning, drop the dirty gravel in a bucket (no sand or really tiny gravel), put it in the shower and flood it, shake and fish the gravel out to drain. All water down the toilet. Then you can hit your shower, toilet with your usual cleaner and you've got that chore done as well, w/o risking food contamination at your sink. Same thing works for food and water dish cleaning.

    Qotd. I would fill the water completely up and even higher than u usually would, and use a siphon. Put a coarse sponge into the siphon and or filter floss so the large debri and stones gets catched in it and wont go down the siphonand or or clog it.

    Make a physical filter filter barrier before the filter that you can easily rinse out. that way the damaging sediment doesn't ever make it to the actual running filter.

    I’ve never seen a crocodile skink, until now and I must say they are so beautiful! Those eyes 👀 WOW!

    Appreciate all videos related to cleaning and maintenance for these I am planning on getting them myself. As a second point I think a collaboration video with SerpaDesigns and create a enclosure with him.

    QOTD: I would personally keep the water features bare bottom. That way you can easily siphon out all the debris along with the water. This is what I do for my fire bellied toads, and it makes water changes very easy.

    I agree that your cleaning system could use some tweaking. This looks like too much work to do as often as you need to do it. I see most of my suggestions are already mentioned by others.

    Congrats on the babies! They are very fun to breed and raise up. Especially when you see them go through the color change on the head and eyes

    This was so satisfying to watch. Thank you for this update! And I almost died when I saw how small that new baby is... so tiny!!! This is a wonderful project you've got, and I'm so happy you're sharing it here with us :)

    Sabi and Sonny's family are just adorable! I love how the babies stand on their parents...my heart can't take all of the cuteness! Love how they give a bit of a judgemental look to you...my pink tongue skink is very judgey or at least I like to think she is 😆

    As a fish and reptile keeper the python water change system is the best for doing water changes it also will fill after draining
