Green tree monitor
Looking great my friend! I am honestly so excited for you to own a tree monitor! They are such intelligent and inquisitive animals and I am confident that you'll immediately regret you didn't get yours sooner!
Can't wait for your next update!
Hi reptiliatus!!! That is all :3
@@AestheticAbe hi!
For a green tree monitor...
Be honest we know you made it for yourself, you just want to live in a rainforest
pssssst
I’m not gonna lie I think the foam background will just get decimated. Try something that’s just coated in cork back or something cause if tarantulas will tear them up a monitor will definitely go to town
Old style 100% i just like the feeling that iam buildkng it with you
Yeah I think I prefer the old style too, it's more conversational!
I honestly didn’t mind that some of it was voice over. I do like that you stopped to talk to us while you planted up the enclosure.
I agree : )
Great job! Just so you know, tge spider plant is because of its shape. If you look at the way it comes out of the pot, it like tge shape of some spiders (especially tarantulas). The other neat thing about spider plants is, they have babies!!! After a while you may notice a stock come out of the plant and dangle down. About the width of a juice box straw. At the end grows a very little "spider" -a miniature version of the plant. It won't grow too big until if you like, pluck it off its "silk" and put the end of that baby spider in water. It will grow roots over time and then you can put it in a pot or another enclosure. Or, you an just leave it hanging from the mama plant. Spider plants are very hardy. They are an excellent plant for a beginner who wants to learn about caring for plants. Tge lighting you have set up is fine. No problem. They arent too picky about light. It is ok to let the substrate get a bit dry between watering if you forget to water it. But they don't like to be soaking wet all the time. Tge amount that comes from the mister should be ok. If the leaves all start to get droopy and maybe soggy that means too much moisture. But like I said before, Spider plants are very hardy and can take whatever is thrown at them pretty well. Good luck!
Awesome description, covered it quite well. Only thing I could add is that you get more spider babies when the plant is root bound
Thanks for the explanation! 😁
Just be careful not to let it get out of control! The runners can grow right into carpeting or upholstered furniture or any little cracks or gaps in the wall or floor, so clip them before they get to that point. Voice of experience😅
I came to mention the spider plant babies too. Haha.
Bearded dragon enclosure may get hotter, be careful.
Its not that big of an issue having one enclosure on top of another
While the heat from the lower enclosure WILL rise to the upper one, this is not an issue, provided Petko uses a thermostat for the enclosures. The thermostat would prevent Despacito's enclosure from getting any warmer than usual by simply shutting off the heat more often
@@seanrallis6714 your right plus the wood the cage is made of resists the heat quite well in my enclosures even with 200watts on a thermostat the bottom of the top enclosure only gets to about 30°c and just gives the inhabitants of that enclosure another place to stay warm
Dart frogs would go crazy for this if this was their home
But I’m sure the monitor will love it as well
This guy ⬆️
@@whatsupchris everytime 🤣
All hail supreme leader Kim 🙌
Too too tall for lil dart frogs
That background looks awesome, but it's gonna get shredded. Monitor claws are strong and they're gonna rip it up so quickly 😅
Monitor Despasito's Temp heat rises, The heat from below Lights, hot spots will rise into his enclosure.
The white stuff you added into your substrate in English is called “Perlite”. Sorry to be repetitive if someone else has already pointed that out! 😉👌🏼
I think it's toxic btw...
@@lukasleclercq6860 stfu
@@lukasleclercq6860 it is, but he covered it. Which means the reptile won’t be expose to it. So it’s safe! :)
@@jeremyagosto-santana5280 Personally I wouldn't trust it, I mean the monitor will probably disturb the substrate very quickly.
@@williamhayes1630 Anything more?
Power output doesn't matter PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) does. It seems you used mostly low light plants not sure about the tree but if you have too much light they will defiantly show by sight. Looks amazing either way hope it grows lush for your new pet. I would be more worried about the effect of the UVB on the plants than the led though truthfully. But that should also show in the plants health.
I would make sure you lock up the cage. Green tree monitors are freaking smart. Like I said just make sure its escape proof.
You want to aim for cross-ventilation. One opening at the bottom and another at the top opposite side of the tank. This way the warm air will vent out at the top while pulling fresh, cooler air through the bottom ventilation inside the tank. The way you have set the ventilation is kind of inadequate right now in that it does not help to dry up the tank after misting because no fresh, cool air gets sucked in once you put in the glass panels. Unless you add additional ventilation into the lower part of the panel, of course.
This design should be ok as the gap between the panes of glass allows for air to pass through the bottom aswell. If it fogs too much definitely add some ventilation, but this setup should be more than adequate in terms of airflow
That zebra Alocasia plant is GORGEOUS! They’re nearly impossible to find in the US. It Will make a beautiful house plant!
Youre more beautiful. Can i see your feet.
@@zekejeager2451 bruh chill
@@zekejeager2451 so brazen, I can’t help but respect it
@@zekejeager2451 zero chill 😂
it rly is. just be aware... i had one and they're said to grow to about a meter 150 cm tops... mine was almost 2 meters in the end and took up a lot of space cause it fans out. but the flowers are rly nice and it makes babies so you can maybe use those in your enclosures. just be aware. it is super toxic to cats and dogs.
There is nothing wrong with exploring new ways of doing things !!
Balfouri update?? Did the slings die?!
What's the intro song? Nice video Petko!
That viv looks better than my house
yep and it has less mould... 😐
XD mood
My only thought is that if/when you add more ventilation it needs to go closer to the floor so that you're pulling in fresh air from below as well as across at the top.
Looks amazing
Only thing. Isssss. A water bowl but otherwise. Epic enclosure.
God bless 😇😂😇🙏🙏😇😂
For future enclosures you might wanna check out epoxy resin and @SerpaDesign Tutorials on Background. Especially for Monitors, it can make sense to use epoxy for sealing, because it is a lot more resistant to their claws, but, since its going to create a very, very slippy surface, im pretty sure that aboreal monitors would prefer a corkbark background or something along those lines. Great Video, really like the new style. I think it lets you focus more on doing what you want to do while filming, and on the information you want to talk about. Keep up the great work 👍
Oh it looks fab. Love the production of the video. Nice job😊 Don't know how I got through the week with just one video. One qustion: sliding doors, big gap, will isopods go walkabout?
The background looks amazing but if it is no concrete on the monitor is gonna dig in it (that is what mine did xD) and for a breeder contact german-monitor he got high quality animals and doing things the right way. GL on the monitor hunt ^^
Still a great episode and I really like new enclosure. Worth the wait as a once a week series. Keep up with the great work. Love this channel. Great watching.👍🇬🇧
Make sure you insolate the top between the bottom and top enclosure so the heat from the bottom enclosure doesn't heat up the top enclosure. Also add more ventilation.
Name him Hamster so you can finally have a hamster
I enjoy watching you build stuff more than anything else
Actually the back of the enclosure too is a bit flimsy for a tree monitor...those claws might shred it up....I hope it holds up though.
Heads up these guys are going to destroy that foam background. Best to use cork flats or something similar.
Cement works fine too
@@GibbonLord LOL
what is the name of this song at the beginning? That sounds cool
The enclosure looks beautiful, Petko! I liked the way you recorded this episode too. The mix of the voice over and real time conversation worked out great! See ya next week!
That enclosure looks pretty good to me. Spider plants are fairly forgiving when it comes to their needs. Just keep an eye to see if the edges of the leaves turn brown or yellow. Brown means too dry, yellow means too wet and/or not enough light. See you next week. Take care & stay safe.
Looks great. Just note that the Bromeliad Vriesea will die in about 2-3 months. Vriesea is a species of bromelia that only bloom once then it dies. From younger plants they make pups or offshoots that then become new plants or the flower drops seeds for new plants.
Hello hello Petko! Please wear a proper mask while handling "the white stuff". It is called perlite and the dust is definitely not healthy. Keep that in mind ;). Great enclosure! For my taste you need more ferns - I love ferns ^^. There are plenty of hardy ones which look awesome. Most of them prefer spots in the shade.
I don't think any one who uses this in a litter tray for a cat has ever wore a mask 😂
I thought it was Styrofoam, but I’m not sure. 😬
@@hitech7772 it's perlite (basically kitty litter)
Love the vids Bro! I think you should upload on Wednesday’s if your going to stick to once a week. And don’t over think your content, it’s always awesome! Most of us don’t mind you doing the “same things” especially because we don’t have the animals!
I use and love Pond Armor for water proofing. I use it on every Particle Board Paludarium I build. I built a giant one that had a 55Gal water feature with water fall and it never sprung a leak. Unfortunately I had to sell it when I moved. Not sure if its available where you're at, but it might be worth checking out. The water feature had a plexi glass window to see the fish and other life and silicone along with the pond armor worked perfect.
What is that music at the beginning? It's so good.
Kurt-cheel
@@MrGecko95 thanks
Best intro yet
8:59 he got two if i remember corectly. He get another for breeding.
can we see your haploclastus devamatha on the next video?
Could’ve sworn that was Tool
I love the new intro petko keep up the awesome content you were my first sub into this hobby
That enclosure looks AWESOME!!!! I know the tree monitor will love it. Also, I have a video idea: do a backyard tour (and possibly turn as much of it into a wildlife sanctuary as possible).
Hello great video build Petcko
Spider plant sends "shoots" which come into miniature suspended "spiders"
You'll see, they grow pretty quick w/ enough light
Super amazing enclosure. I love it. My one critique is that I don't like the plant at 11:44 because it looks like it's in the way of the climbing spots. I think it looked perfect right before you put that one in. Awesome video! Looking forward to the green tree monitor ^.^
I think one day this channal wont be a tarantula channal because its starting to have more and more reptiles
This enclosure is absolutely immaculate! Love all the plants you chose and the setup gorgeous 👏 looks amazing
In America we call those vents or you could even call them ventilation panels to be more specific
Perlite is safe for reptiles?
I like the voiceover!
13:22 BROWN MITES?
great work 😍💪🌴🍂
Your awesome. I look forward to your videos and have done so from almost season 1. I'll miss your Friday visits but I understand. Your videos don't have to be monumental. Just what you've been up to. Thank you for interesting stuff.
New drinking game ~ take a shot every time Petko says *actually*.
Love ya Dark Den just poking a bit of fun!
Dope setup
Green/emerald tree monitors are awesome, monitors are so intelligent, if you have the space you should also get a mangrove monitor
The music at the beginning is 100% 🔥 🔥 🔥
I have loads of spider plants and they hate direct sunlight, so you might want to relocate yours.
Nice build dude.. prefer the old style videos though.. your personality is a large part of why we are all here. now it just watches like a "how stuff works" guide.. x
Love it
Love it
I prefer the old type of interaction, but for this video the voiceover makes absolute sense!
For the background, I fear a monitor will rip it apart with its claws, you just used silicone and soil, I don't know what Felix background was covered with, cause I just watch for about a year, but it looks a bit weak for such sharp claws, but we will see. I would suggest thick layers of tile adhesive over the foam.
Good luck with it, can't wait to see a monitor at this channel!
im sad that you dont upload more youre one of my fav youtubers but its okay you need a break too
It looks absolutely amazing! 🎊🎊🎊 You did a wonderful job! Epic!🦎🦎🦎
It looks fantastic Petko . Leave it how it is . You are a pro
I enjoyed the mix of voice over and you talking to the camera. I thought it flowed well.
While I enjoy most of you animals (not so much the centipedes lol) I REALLY enjoy watching all your diy stuff. That enclosure looks gorgeous so far! 🤟
Brilliant enclosure Petko! Just hope you are still talking to your English followers after the result of the football!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool build. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the monitor.
The plants look ok where you have them. The Spider Plant may be to close to the lights. And their name comes from the " legs" that have the young plants hanging from it. The young plants can be cut off to start new plants elsewhere when they grow roots. They are good plants to have in the enclosure.
Spider plants remind me of my childhood . My mum had them in hanging baskets all over the home. They are pretty hard to kill. Unless you don’t water them
Hi from Germany, i really enjoy your Videos. I don't know how I landed on the spider side of UA-cam, especially concidering my arachnophobia, but I'm not mad about it :) It really helps building an appreciation for these wonderous creatures.
Does anyone know how many dendrobates leucomelas or dendrobates tinctorius azureus i can keep in a 30x30x45 exo terra? I was thinking 3 or 4?
I'm curious, would it be big enough for an adult monitor? They can grow up to 100cm which is relatively small for a monitor but in order to maintain good muscle growth etc they need exercise.. not knocking the set up, just curious!
Way to small and not enough light for prasinus. The background will be shredded. Should have done it with epoxy.
Take that knobby tree stump and use it upside down where that big cork is down below! You know it will be awesome! I am also trying not to judge about putting the side panel in before the back panel. Lol. You did a lot of work and it looks great. At least you got it anyway. Also, green tree monitors in EU are so rarely bred in captivity. Almost all are imports, even if you get it from a major seller. It took a long time to get them sustainably bred in the US and Canada and even Dayyan's Sabzi and Basil turned out to come from first generation clutches that had some parasite issues. It's just the nature of trying to get these animals established. They sell fast and it's a big pressure, no fault of the conservationists.
i love the pre intro. you are so good at picking awsome music for your tour segments ^^ second. i keep plants of the family like your vine and you can basically keep them in water(hydroponic). so you could put little containers in the wall and just make sure they have water always. it'll also keep the "tank" humid. they would look so cool draped on the back walls. also if it's a 225 view maybe make sure to have plants that also make it look good from the other side so it doesn't look like the back of the enclosure?. sry for the long message i'm just super excited about this project ^^ it looks so freakin' good already ^^
I am going to be honest Petco. Yours was the first video of taratulas I ever watched. And instantly became a fan. Love you loads. But...my favorite ones are the unpacking and housing..the feeding..and the rehousing and upgrading. The builds are my least favorite. I want to see the critters!! I am faithful and still a fan. I just hope this is just a phase you have to go through.
Free style baby.
Free style.
Are you not worried about the monitor claws shredding your polystyrene backgrounds?
Please, pleaaase do NOT pressure yourself! We dont want you to get something like a Burnout just because you are pressuring yourself too much!! We love your videos off all types and lenght!
Hey Petko! light light light! I am happy to see you setting up an terrarium for V. prasinus! But i think you will need more (or efficiant) light. Your bearded dragon and your chameleon would be happier too if you would give them more light but if you want to keep monitors you will not get happy with this light situation i think. Get some metal halide lamps for it. Monitors are extremely active and need power!! And they get it through the light. this fluorescent tube will not make it. Greetings
Wow absolutely amazing enclosure you truly did a great job looks really professional!!!
Talking about a tree monitor’s enclosure, foam really is not a good long term background. Monitors are good enough to destroy foams in just a night or two…but having that much plants in the enclosure… maybe it will have more stuff to explore and look at.
But after all, It’s really nice 👍
NICE!
🌞As far as lights go, don't you need a hotspot for green tree monitors?
🌴As far as plants go;
🪴The bromeliad is going to get knocked over by the green tree monitor unless it really roots to the rock
💧Watering the pathos and the spider plant is going to be a pain. Can you set up a mister to get water into their pots? that would make life much easier.
Cheers and good luck,
Chris
Great enclosure, great show. keep it up petco. Shame about the Monday only videos but I do understand why. I think the way u did voice over worked well for this large scale build but little builds keep original.
Looks awesome but with my personal experience with monitors you want only one visible (glass) side. Especially tree monitors are highly strung and aware so having it feel like it's too out in the open might have drawbacks.
I like this new style of voice over video. Good decision! Maybe a bit too much talking at the beginning, in my opinion, but I understand why 😁 also I thought maybe the spider plant was a bit too close to the light but it could have been how it looked in the video. They don't require an abundance of light or water but are probably one of a few plants that could handle it. Nice job all round though, I look forward to the next one!
I Love the voiceover style, I think it would also maybe be easier for you to record? that way you just do everything you want to do without getting too distracted and then you can explain afterwards, right?
I do miss the Friday videos but we will get used to Mondays only ^^ Now I just super stalk your instagram for updates XD
Petco! You should get snake locks for the sliding glass door for your monitor they can get to be very strong and can push the glass doors open even if there is just a small crack!!! But snake locks on both door will help keep your new buddy in his proper home!!! Good luck excited to see him/her!!
Beautiful :) but I'd add more pants to make it look ever lusher like a jungle :)) maybe more bromeliads and some air plants or climbing tropical plats :)
Hey Petko, I really wanna send you some fan mail but I can't find the address I should send it to anywhere. Do you have Is a p.o. Box?
Have you considered that monitors like most lizards require uv rays to be truly healthy? I have studied reptiles for years, & would say eventually you may want a bigger enclosure after some time.
Would you care to explain your set up?
How you have all the outlets on timers, how you built the shelves, and the lights you used? I am a big fan of your setup and want to make my own version one day! I admire your work :)
Filming style is good... 70% as normal, 30% voiceover.
Very nice enclosure, but some tips:
Add more ventilation
Add some sort of mesh to the ventilation thingies you have, Monitor lizards are very smart and can nearly escape through every little hole, especially when thei are small.
Hi! I have several terrariums that I have built! All of the plants you planted should do very well Where they are. Buuut I think if you add more pothos vines or even a philodendron vine in the back on the ground and train them to climb up the background that would be stunning and fill in that space at the bottom.
Ngl, I came for the T's, but stayed for the Reptiles.
I think I like it better when you talk during the building. The voice over is a bit too formal for me. When you added the plants and talking I can tell how passionate you are about it and I just love hearing the enthusiasm in your voice!
white stuff is called Perlite in my country, and the spiderplant will take over enclosure. keep it checked and cut back frequently
Definitely liking the new format Petko, well done you!
This video was awesome. I like the voice over just as much. I just don't like when it's a long video with no talking at all, just music while u work. U didn't do that in this video at all, just my thoughts on it. I'm really liking his the new new new dark den is turning out!
The Spider plant will produce more plants its a great plant n love the enclosure ...
