My name is Hayes, I’ve always loved nature, animals, and art, and when I decided to combine all that together! I found something that I absolutely love doing! Aquariums, terrariums, vivariums, you name it!
I’ve always believed that if you were to keep an exotic animal as a pet, you should provide not only the best care possible, but the best home possible. I keep all my animals in naturalistic enclosures, full of wood, rocks, and live plants. I love taking care of, and setting up amazing homes for my animals that they’ll love! And I want to share my passion with the world!

Really sorry about the skip for the enclosure part, I ended up loosing the footage and completely forgot to mention it 🤦♂️ if any of you are curious feel free to comment and I’ll respond, or check out the dead leaf mantis vivarium part 1 as it explains it a little bit better. Again sorry bout that one 🙃
It’s amazing how plants can just bring a scape to life! This is one of my favorite builds that you have made, I think this definitely surpasses even some of the builds that SerpaDesign does! Also, what is the other fern species that you used?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😊 I’m honestly not to sure about the fern, I haven’t had great luck with them though so I thought I try it in a different setup.
Maby get him a plant looks kinda empty in the enclosure… nice video
This is a temporary setup and I waiting on a couple plant to arrive before redoing it.
😊😊
😊
I'm so glad you glued the sticks I was terrified for a minute there 😆
lol, better safe than sorry!
They are really pretty, I heard that in the wild when there curled up they are almost invisible
Oh yeah! When they’re sleeping the hide all of their colors and are completely green! Almost impossible to see!
Nice. Hope it was fun❤
It was! I had a blast! 💥
this is a beautiful build! excellent job!
Thank you! 😊
what I didn't know was that they were born upside down squeezing out of their egg on a thread of mantis mucus 😳
Yeah! Very weird but so cool lol 😂
How did you attach the back drop to the wall
I actually didn’t, the fit was snug enough for it to just stay in place by itself. Otherwise I would have just used silicone.
How many inches long is the new axolotl - and what kind of creature is it? Your creatures are lucky to have a caring Father such as you. Keep up the good work!
She’s just under 5 inches long at the moment. Also thank you! 😊
i cant wait to see how you redo your red eyed tree frog’s enclosure! i’m redoing my albino red eyed tree frog’s enclosure soon to make it a lot more naturalistic since I made his terrarium when I was first starting out with bioactive and only used basic hardier plants that I knew I couldnt kill (snake plant, pothos, monstera) but would love to see what other plants you’ll use so I can get some inspiration!
Albino RETFs are super cool! Best of luck with the enclosure! I can’t wait for you to see it and I hope I can give you inspiration!
I hope you all enjoyed this one! I had a great time at the expo and I’m so happy with what I got!! So many cool projects coming up! Also Lemme know if you have any name ideas for the new guy… 🤭
I think that ‘Fizz’ is a fun name for the axolotl, but that’s just my opinion
I like it! Definitely a contender!
The audio again: bye bye bye dont wanna be a fool for you
lol x2
@@hodesignsbtw how you get praying mantises tho?
Usually just from ordering them online. Occasionally I find them at reptile stores and expos but I mostly order them.
The audio: Oh the thrill of the double life
lol
How you know so much about mantis' ?
I’ve kept a lot of different species and I’ve been keeping them for awhile. Everytime I get a new one I do a lot of research.
Cool :D
can i get one if i live in australia
i never thought i wanted a mantis personally (theyre so cool but i have so many reptiles, amphibians and insects i want to keep) but your videos are starting to change my mind ugh theyre so cute
They really are great! Very personable insects.
Brother this is some magnificat work you have done there
Thank you! 😊
It really warms my heart to see people take so much time to build beautiful homes for their mantids! 🥹 I keep mantids myself- they really are such personable and amazing little creatures. Your enclosures are so beautiful and show so much love and care for the little guys, I love it. I've really been enjoying your channel since I stumbled upon you, keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much! 😊 they really are the best, a lot more interactive and emotional than people think. Very rewarding to keep! Ive been keeping mantids since I was a kid so they have a special place in my heart! 💚
I definitely like the way the back ground came out. Looks great.
Thank you!! 😊
Great build! Quick question, how do you water your terrarium plants? I’ve been using a small watering can but wanted to know if you use a different method.
Thank you! I usually mist the enclosure daily and then just use a small cup or glass to water them a couple times a week. nothin fancy.
Incredible job your going to make it as a profesional. Oh wait your already pass that level your probably a Master at building inclosures
Thank you! I really appreciate it and it means a lot to hear that! I hope to make it someday and I couldn’t get there without your support! So thank you! 💚
I said it before and I’ll say it again, you’re going to make it big dude. I’m not sure what it takes for someone to get recognized by a lot of people, but once you do you have an AMAZING foundation for them to find
Thank you! It means a lot alot to hear that from people! I hope I make it someday! And I couldn’t get there without your support! Thank you! 💚
seconding this! this content reminds me of serpadesign and im so excited for this channel to gain the attention it deserves
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! 😊 it means a lot to know that people enjoy my content this much!
How make this
Lol, honestly just a variety of techniques.
Not sure if you’ll see this or not but I saw someone using cork board, stacking pieces on top of each other and then using a method like you used to make the pieces flush to the background. It comes out looking amazing and just like rock. Saves you massive amounts of time for an amazing product
That’s a cool idea, I might have to try that soon!
anyone getting Bobby Duke flashbacks lol
lol, I watched him a lot growing up 😂
That looks so good
Thank you! 😊
What size vivarium is this plz
It’s a 40 gallon breeder aquarium that I converted into a front opening enclosure. The dimensions are 18x18x36
FINALLY FICUS!!!! Really an awesome build, I think your frogs will love it! Also, what are the plant species you used?
Yeah, I was saving it all for this project. I mostly used various ferns but also some syngoniums and an umbrella plant. I also threw a dracaena in there.
Been looking forward to this & was not disappointed, it looks awesome buddy 😁
Thank you! 😊
My dad says i might get 2 red eyed leaf frogs but thats not what i was going to say. I love your work its so awsome you are a true profesional with texture ❤❤❤
That’s awesome! Also thank you, I appreciate that! 😊
vietnamese mossy frogs are genuinely such a fascinating species! so excited to see their new home!
Yes they are! I love them! 🐸
Eclipse is an awsome name for it it sounds cool for it i love mantis too❤❤❤
Thank you! They really are the best!
Could that be a sign of amplexus (mateing behaviour)??
Yeah I’m pretty sure it is, they’re both males though so it ain’t gonna work lol 😂
I love frogs ❤❤❤ keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Me
What?
Im too scared to let my male mantis out cause it will fly away, can you give me advice to help me with feeding it and how to not let it fly away?
Most likely it won’t fly away, mantises rarely fly and use their wings primarily for threat displays. Especially if it’s captive bred it won’t fly away. I’ve kept plenty of mantids and I’ve never had one even attempt to fly so it should be fine.
Very cool but one question, why are your videos not popular????
lol, idk, I wish I was, UA-cam doesn’t like me I guess 😂🤷🏻♂️
:(
I remember the red eyed tree frogs and I remember them from Go Diego Go cartoon series from my early childhood!!!
They are everywhere!
Is the liquid rubber gonna be toxic for the geckos in anyway? Will the geckos also be able to stick to and climb the liquid rubber like they do on glass?
Once cured the liquid rubber isn’t toxic for any animal. Also this was made with the intention of installing a background so no liquid rubber would be visible. And if there was I would think they’d be able to climb it.
Both 😊
lol, I wish I could make that work
Eclipse
So far it’s looking like the winner 👀
