This is beautiful. So much work! I was hoping to see a happy little frog in it at the end. Very impressive!
орхидея нужна и будет еще лучше. Шикарно.
есть орхидеи
Francisco José Tébar Salas цветков жаль еще нет.
you do u buddy, bump the hate. You made an awesome vivarium.
Thnaks!!!
This is amazing !!!! Great setup with so many variety of plants.
Very nice poludarium !
Very very nice
One of the best that i've seen so far.
GREAT work.
Turned out stunning, got some ideas for mine. Love the Colocasia in vivariums also! They really compliment everything
Thanks for your comment.
semplicemente SPETTACOLARE.....
Saluti dalla Sicilia...:-) :-) :-)
Grazie, saluti dalla Spagna.
te felicito esta wapisimo el paludario
I just ordered some of that rainforest composition background! No place in the States sells them but luckily Bens Jungle ships internationally.
Amazing inspiration im starting on my 90x45x45cm today😁
Thank you and good luck with your project.
This would be a cool setup for fiddler crabs 🦀. Id house my hermit crabs but I would be scared if they fell off from a high spot lol. Overall cool setup.
Hermit crabs are very good climbers, in nature they climb trees and often spend the night perched on some small branch, if they do not find a crack in the rocks, You can see one of my videos about hermit crabs in Costa Rica. Regards.
beautiful ! без базара!
Very nice. Kinda lost the whole background with all those plants. I like a full vivarium too.
Brandon T true... You can’t really see the background, although the back is beautiful with all those plants!
Hermoso terrario
Gracias.
Stunning! Great work!
This is so beautyfull 😮
It is just amazing, well done very very very good job.
Thank you.
Very natural!
Looks way bigger than 90x45x90cm. Guess its cause it just looks bigger on video. But very beautiful! I want to put fish and a crested gecko in mine.

Do those suction cups hold up the vines ever fail? Excellent work, people may criticize and say it’s too much, but sometimes people need to remember that it’s for the frogs, not the people. Thick plants are excellent for the frogs.
Thanks for your comment, actually and as I have said several times, this was my first paludario and everything is an experiment, the suction cups could fail eventually and it was necessary to reinforce them.
Wow you have amazing talent
Awesome..
Thanks, Fishy Fingers.
Magnifique
Chulisimo pero una cosa es segura, la rejilla del techo del terrario se oxidará como me ha pasado a mi en mis terrários de camaleones. En un año echadas a perder.
dude got a real rain forest in his house
ditch the fisheye view
The GoPro is the only camera I had at that time.
Phenomenal work! How much weight could that back glass hold!? I would have been dying when putting it upright think the glass would crack or all the stuff would fall off!!!
Great job man!
Thanks for your comment. The glass is very strong and does not represent any problem, keep in mind that it is a terrarium of 90 centimeters high by 45 wide.
Sweet and cute
I would put gray tree frogs in there and fish.
There are so many possibilities....... I have poison dart frogs and the water is used by the tadpoles of some species.
Thats so cool
Awesome !!!
I would keep geckos in there :P
baby iguanas would be great too
Mboh Karep naah man. Iguanas would bot be good here. They like big places where they can move around! I would put some dart frogs in there!! Or smaller frog types.
Probly should add a few Newts or frogs in there it'll be a nice home for them
I can't see anything because of of the Fisheye camera
The GoPro is the only camera I had at that time.
Impresionante. Una pregunta.... Después de la espuma pones algo marrón para rellenar huecos sin usar silicona. ¿Qué es? ¿Turba? ¿Se va con la lluvia o se queda duro y estable? Gracias!
Bens-jungle.com/ rainforest background , pero no lo aconsejo porque es prácticamente un fraude y carisimo.
ta chingon!
Super 👌
I wish I had that many plants, jeez. 😂😥
ok thanks for you help😀
1 word - Pro!
Once it's set up how much mainetance do you have to do and what could you doo to make it even more maintenance free, I can afford to automate lights, heaters, humidifiers... I want it for a venomous snake that doesn't like to be disturbed so I can't just stick my hand in there all the time unless I take it out and that could be hard depending on where it's hiding. Also, what lights do you use?
Everything is automatic except the feeding of the frogs that live in the interior. For lights look at specifications in the explanations of the video.
hi great build can you or anyone tell me the rocks you use on right hand side the one u cut hole in please cheers
Chunks of rotten palm. (Phoenix dactylifera)
very beautiful, but it's always beautiful at the start. how does that setup hold with time?
You are right, it is always exciting at the beginning, during the construction and the first months. Unfortunately, it does not exist anymore.
@@LaNaturalezaEscondida Sorry to hear that. I can imagine how difficult it is to maintain such a complex biotope over time.
Maybe give another try and add some plants little by little. You will find yourself to have to replace them on a regular basis anyways (apart from maintaining the existing ones of course). Don't forget the fauna (worms, small insects, etc... it helps A LOT with the soil ! ). I tried that on a smaller scale (landscaping an aquarium tank). I had big hopes but soon realized that those beautiful shots we see on the net are mostly photo's taken when everything has meticulously been made ready, at the very moment of the photo session just for the sake of it and shortly after, those landscapers disassemble their creations and start everything over from the start for a next session... cold shower moment for me. You know what they say about the journey and the destination ;-) I think it's true, especially when it's about creating something living and beautiful, just like you did. It made me smile again. Don't give up.
@@RenoLaringo Thanks for your comments and your advice. My problem was not being able to devote the time and care that such a biotope needs, besides having overloaded a lot of plants in the terrarium, but it served at least so that a large number of small frogs could breed. Greetings.
@@LaNaturalezaEscondida That is awesome. I would have loved to see all those little critters!

im starying my build this weekend for my chameleon. im still debating whether to do an all rock background or siliconing that composite onto it. im just worried my chameleon will take in some of the material accidently while eating and causing compaction
A W E S O M E
Thanks.
What kind of maintenance would a vivarium like this require? Its gorgeous!! Well done! Is its relatively self sustaining?
To be honest, the only maintenance is to keep the rain system active and turning on and off lights, everything is automatic, moreover, is the habitat of a group of frogs dendrobates, they get dirty everything. The activity and feeding of these small animals, are slowly causing deterioration.
+Francisco José Tébar Salas
i was thinking about putting a tree Python or tree boa into a set up like this...
Nice but over kill with the plants! U must be Rich since this is an experiment :)
It really isn't overkill. The enclosure is for the frogs, not for us. They prefer them.
Nice set up, dude. I'm planning something similar in an Exo Terra X-Large/Tall tank too, with a slightly bigger water feature.
What's your long term experience with that kind of background in a moist enviroment? Doesn't the cork and wood integrated into the background absorb moisture and expand or rod over time, which would damage the background?!
This is my first paludarium with no previous experience, the wood I used was an old olive tree trunk and pieces of almost rotten palm found on the beach, the back has been separated from the glass but due to the polyurethane foam.
when ur cutting that foam with a knife, I was singing : Happy brithday to you, happy birthday to you..........
Thanks for watching the video.
+Francisco José Tébar Salas but i still have to say it's a beautiful and well built paludarium.
Thanks.
Francisco José Tébar Salas By the way, pls tell me if a sheet must be added below the soil/sunstrate and that sheet will also divide soil and water
I just add a thin cloth between the rocks and coconut fiber to prevent coconut fiber ends in the water as far as possible.
Can you do an update on this terrarium? I understand you said some of the plants died but I'm interested to see what it looks like now.
Hello, I would like it, but I had to travel and I can not continue with the hobby, I'm sorry.
Como pegaste la tierra al fondo? Ando probando con silicona pero no me gusta nada el efecto. Precioso paludario te ha quedado.
No pegue ninguna tierra en el fondo.
Francisco José Tébar Salas me refiero, por ejemplo, al minuto 6:25, ¿Solo lo haces mojando sustrato o le echas algún producto para fijar? Porque de normal al secarse debería caerse...
eso es este producto, Bens-jungle.com/ rainforest background , pero no lo aconsejo porque es prácticamente un fraude y carisimo.
Francisco José Tébar Salas oh... vaya, tenía buena pinta...
Hey. Can you tell me the distance between the bottom glas and the front ventilation of this particular terrarium? How high is the max water level?
Twelve centimeters.
Очень здорово. подскажите чем закрыли стекло на 6.40. Это кокосовая стружка с клеем? как это сделать? Спасибо за Интересное видео.
bens-jungle.com/RainforestBackgroundcomposition. Но я бы не рекомендовал его.
I wonder what were the rocks made of? were they actual rocks or made by foams or such materials; also, how did you apply the coconut coir onto the glass without anything else? did you mix any adhesives into it ? I'm just really interested.
The apparent rocks are actually pieces of palm trunk and the material that sticks to the glass is this: Bens-jungle.com/ rainforest background
What are you using to hold the thin pieces of wood to the sides of the tank (up by the mist heads)?
Suction cups and adhesives.
Seems simple, I might borrow that idea :). Thanks!
how come you don't talk during the video?
Has tenido algun problema con la luz y el monsoon? He ido a montar el compact top que lleva bombillas de rosca y dice que no puede estar en ambientes humedos...
Pues yo no he tenido ningún problema.
What the heck is that magic dirt that you can just stick to the glass and expect to stay there?
Bens-jungle.com/ rainforest background
Hey Francisco, what is the material your sticking to the glass and all over the background? Is it just a type of soil? Thank you Again!
bens-jungle.com/RainforestBackgroundcomposition
Also, all lianas I use, are collected randomly in the garden and also some authentic ones from the jungle, brought by me from Costa Rica and other countries of Africa as a souvenir.
+Francisco José Tébar Salas - ahhh I see. I noticed some really beautiful ones that I couldn't really find on Ben's jungle or any other sites... so it was confusing me a bit! haha thank you again!
Cuanta agua se puede poner abajo? Se puede llenar hasta las puertas??
Toda la parte de abajo esta llena de agua, incluso por debajo del suelo, no se puede llenar mas del nivel de los orificios de ventilación que están por debajo de las puertas.
Gracias Francisco, me voy a comprar ese terrario y voy a hacer mas un paludario. Un saludo desde Madrid.
It looks great, definitely my kind of style, and I will try to do something similar. Just one question - what are those rocks you used for background (0:53)? Is it kind of peat or wood? Or just foam sprinkled with coconut sawdust?
These are pieces of a palm tree, (Phoenix dactylifera) collected on the beach and dead long time ago. An experiment.
😀
классна
Hey! What is the brown stuff on the Background at 6:25? I dont mean the Palm pieces :D I mean this type of dirt or something like this. Why is it holding so strong??
Must be This : bens-jungle.com/rainforestbackgroundpareddeterrarioxaximparaterrarios
Aaaaaaah, thanks for the tip!
а что за вещь такая которой облепили пену?
OH MY GOD !
Who are you? You seem very interesting! Good work but the background became hidden from the plants.
Yes, that is ephemeral art. By the way, what do you mean by "who am I"?
Wow.. I got a cage coming in about this size.. This is inspiring. How much money did you spend on the materials? I have roughly $250 to spend for now
I already talked about that in the previous comments, can you read it please? And you will also find more useful information.
You will need much more
I had an ant farm when I was a kid.
modelleg cool!
modelleg might wanna start over again it is super nice!
How did you make all those little pockets for the plants? Isn't that stone? Lol, Nice work Francisco!
These are pieces of palm wood, fluffy and easy to handle.
What are those no offense
Is this at all for any reptiles or just for plants?
It is for dendrobates frogs, dart frogs.
not worried of the frogs drowning? I always go really shallow with my water features
Yak Daddy No, in fact they use water to transport tadpoles there and complete the entire cycle in the water, much like a puddle of the jungle, with many tannins.
What were the black boxes at the base?
Just that, plastic boxes to create a double bottom.
What animals did you put in there!
Ranitomeyas.
Where did you get these palmtree chunks???
I found them on the beach.
I have to say you skipped a rather important step. You never sealed the foam. It leaches chemicals into the water and soil if you dont
Otherwise great effect you accomplished there
You did also overdo the plants. Best to start with. 30/40% planting at first and let it grow into itself
Whats sprayer system are you using?
Read the specifications, please.
so those aren't rocks, they're palm trees?
That's right, they appear rocks, but are pieces of palm trunk, found on the beach and almost rotten. fluffy and light.
+Francisco José Tébar Salas ok I need to find some of that. you have me searching. I just did videos on my XL exo under my UA-cam page.
what is the white things?
glue or silicone?
ichu elek silicone
Damn dude this is crazy nice would you confident building one like this to sell it?
A paludarium or naturalistic terrarium of this size, must be built on the site, it is virtually impossible send and in both cases the cost will be high.
I have a vivarium about this tall do you have any recommendations on led lighting for plant growth? I see your specs in the description just wondering if this was enough for your plants down lower
The light I used here was not enough, it takes more light, but the dendrobates frogs that inhabit it, do not need so much light.
Francisco José Tébar Salas thanks for the reply. I will post u a video of my finished vivarium. It's looking great so far.
많이 주문하셨네요.^^
Please tell me where you got your wood.
Hello, I think this question is not well written. But surely it is already answered in some of the comments or in the information that I offer below the video. Greetings.
Francisco José Tébar Salas thank you.
Wo hascht die pflanzen her?
BEN'S JUNGLE PLANTS, GERMANY.
Do you house any species in it?
Yes, Dendrobates.
what pump do you used?
Water pump, NOVA, Sicce.
600 l ?
Are you ever going to sell it. Because I'm interested if you are!
A paludarium or naturalistic terrarium of this size, must be built on the site, it is virtually impossible send and in both cases the cost will be high.
How often do you mist?
Between two and four hours, it depends. Still adjusting.
thanks
а кто что слышал про черный кремень в аквариуме? говорят что воду можно с ним вообще не менять только подливать что испарилось))) кто в курсе???
Мне очень жаль, но я не понимаю, что вы имеете в виду
кремень черный - минерал такой - камень.... слышал для воды очень полезен
Can you do an update?
Yes, why not? But this can be a little disappointing, since I have dedicated the paludarium from the first moment to keep and breed poison dart frogs and stain and destroy a lot. Maintaining a large number of small frogs inside is incompatible with a well maintained vivarium.
Yea, some of your plants looked very delicate. Btw, amazing job.
How much did this cost because it's beautiful.
+joshua burgos
Including dendrobates and chameleons Brookesia more than three thousand euros
+Francisco José Tébar Salas
+Francisco José Tébar Salas
Francisco José Tébar Salas with out the inhabitants?
+joshua burgos
Including dendrobates and chameleons Brookesia
Frogs?
it's a little bit much
Yes, it was an experiment, five months later, most of the plants have died.
Francisco José Tébar Salas of course they die, how can they live like that stuffed ontop of another, theyd be needing nutritions every 3d day. Anyway lofe the idea and the work you did, meaby next time keep it more simple, and of course add more soil,..
Francisco José Tébar Salas Was it do to using spray foam as well? I have seen this used many times but never see the set up months later.
and enough of plants for start.
Francisco José Tébar Salas beautiful viv!
Curious as to why your plants died off?.
Also wondering if you could have saved your background from peeling off the glass if you would have siliconed egg crate first, then foamed everything to that?
How did you plants die?
What a strange video. Fish eye view?
The GoPro is the only camera I had at that time.
do you know the model number?
No
Where can one find this foam?
spray foam, check a hardware store make sure its water proof.
Which exo terra tank is this?
90x45x90
du u have orchids in the paludarium to ?
+geraldes orchids Citroen Yes, but only a few, very small, from Centroamerica
a ok were u from netherlands
