You're welcome! In the spirit of sharing, please feel free to share this to anyone who could be inspired by the method/video :) . A lot of people such as yourself wanted to see the vine making video after seeing my vivarium build - I'm trying to deliver!
I am building a custom home for my little brothers bearded dragon, Marshall. I build furniture and custom decor for a living, but your videos have been a lifesaver for me! Please keep them coming! Your hardwork and creativity is much appreciated, not only by your beautiful animals but by us humans as well 😊 haha. Thank you again for sharing!
Haha thanks, it's hard in the beginning here on UA-cam - you do a first upload and people like it but are skeptical if there will be more.....THERE WILL BE SO MUCH MORE IM JUST GETTING STARTED!
I've seen alot of DIY vine and these look like they would bee the most durable for my Chinese Water Dragon. Thanks for the video can't wait to make some myself.
Omg, this is amazing. This can easily replace many expensive woods required for climbing spaces. I would even try to use vines from the other methods which are thinner in combination with this since different thicknesses will create a more natural look, combine it with some moss and it's as premium as you could get for vines. But they are totally amazing on their own! Instant subscribe, looking forward to check your other videos!
For this particular vivarium I wanted the climbing space for my tree monitors and couldn't get what I wanted from using branches/cork tubes etc...So this is what I came up with. I made vines with thicknesses of 3,4,5 and 6 hose braids. Because they're so active and use the vines daily, I haven't tried putting moss on the vines - but for less active or smaller species I definitely would give this a try! I agree that you could combine the other smaller vine making methods to get more depth/natural look - I haven't bothered because I made a lot of my style of vines and in combination with the large live plants its already quite dense. Glad you enjoyed and got some ideas/inspiration from the video!
@@SpectrumVivaria Absolutely, there is clearly no need for "design improvement" in the monitor vivarium, but it's amazing what a great base for so many projects this technique can be. Looking forward for more videos from you! What other species you keep/intend on keeping?
I hope it can be helpful to those who haven't been able to find a solution like this. I was one of those people and with some trial and error this was the outcome . Glad you liked it
Awesome that you are finding the content useful! If you like taking notes etc I have a video coming soon that I think you will really enjoy. If you aren't already make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it :)
I got a EXCITEMENT HEADACHE!! I am so going to make all my vines like this! Brilliant! What is that epoxy you used?? I am in the states I believe you are in Australia? Amazing. Better than Christmas!
Its called Elastopur. I have been asked a few times about where to buy it from people in the US but it seems difficult to find! Using google you can find reptile/terrarium online stores in europe who sell it (usually German). Depending on what size vines and your goals with trying this will determine if the price is worth it to you. For me it was - but an alternative you could try is using aquarium grade silicone instead of the elastopur. I have not used it in this way for the larger vine thicknesses but it should be an ok result if you're doing smaller vines at least. Like I said in the video the elastopur is a stronger and more durable adhesive than the silicone and thats why I used it.
Woow , I just discover your channel and I see all your videos and i’m very impressed , your terrarium is absolutely wonderful, your vine are super cool and will be better for monitor than exoterra/komodo vine , thanks you very much to show us your projects . I have a little question, are your sur that your terrarium will be very waterproof ?( i don’t understand all things you say on your video). Hello from France 🇫🇷
Fair question! I took multiple steps to waterproof it BUT I don't recommend doing it the way that I did! Simply because I think using an epoxy/pondliner would be a safer option. The enclosure has been running for 2 years with misting/fogging systems running that whole time - No problems so far. I have an upload coming very soon where I talk about this and much more in greater detail so I hope you are subscribed if you are enjoying the content :)
I really like the content so far; however, if I have one criticism, it would be your that your general output is too low. I had to turn my speakers all the way up to understand you .
I have just uploaded a new video to the channel ua-cam.com/video/PJcjLpnTtQw/v-deo.html - Would love it if you could check it out and let me know if the output is more improved now?
Wow, these look great. I tried something like this with silicone once and the fibers just wouldn't stick to the vines long term. Will definitely try this in my next jungle enclosure.
Hey man love the build, I'm in the process of doing my snake enclosure and this will fit in perfectly. Just one question, where did you get the brown coloring from and do you think using dry soil will work as well?
You can choose whatever substrate you want to add texture and hide the glossiness of the cured elastopur. Just make sure whatever substrate you use is completely dry when applying it. I mixed some dry soil with coconut fiber/coir when I did mine. I bought the pigments online but don't remember exactly where. Google can help you find something available to you I'm sure.
This Elastopur may be the key to making my false tree in the center of my leachie enclosure. I could make small vines and adhere them to center "trunk" of large diameter PVC and PVC branches then coat entirely in Elastopur and peat/coco fiber. I like the idea of this product so much better than the silicone typically used. I hope I can get this in the US or find a similar product.
Some more advantages of elastopur : -No VOC's....So there is no fumes or smell when mixing and using the product! Something no one mentions when working with silicone is how bad the fumes/smell is when using it. -The product is a kind of light terracotta colour, so you can dye the Elastopur darker earthy colours ( there's limitations because its not white). BUT being able to dye it at all is an advantage over silicone. -Cured product is far more tough and durable than the surface of silicone once cured. But it is less flexible than silicone would be. If cracks appear from bending/manipulating them too much after curing you can just use some gorilla glue with coco fiber to fill them in once they are in the position you want (if it bothers you). I have had a lot of people ask where in the US has this and so far I have not found anything. You can find it for sale in European terrarium/reptile online stores (Germany in particular) is where its most commonly found. I am sure there must be similar products that can work in the same way with the method I showed here. I just don't have the access/found anything else. When I read your comment I remembered this supplier and they had an example of a center tree similar to what you described (scroll to bottom of this page linked below). Check it out and good luck with your project! www.dutchrana.nl/en/blog/elastopur-diy/
@@SpectrumVivaria Yes, I've built smaller enclosures with silicone and it's awful. i'll look into getting some of this so I can build the interior of my guy's adult enclosure without passing out from the fumes ;-)
It depends on what thickness and length vines you decide to make. I don't remember exactly but I think the bigger vines I was able to do at least 2 of them with 1 can of elastopur (1.5kg) with some leftover being used on some smaller vines before it cured and was unusable.
@@Thegermanmonitorlizardguy It should be OK - But its always better to have more than you need than to need more and not have it. It's a bit of a learning curve to apply it properly/quickly as you have limited time before it cures too much and substrate or whatever you apply to it won't stick. It's also really messy and sticks/stains so you want to not get it everywhere even though you are working quickly. I suggest if you're making 2 x 4 hose vines than maybe make one smaller vine with less hoses (maybe a single hose or 2?) so if you have any excess elastopur you can put it on those and not waste it before its cured. I made a number of these and the more I made the better the end result was. So I have a mix of ok vines and really nice ones I think. Good luck with it!
Elastopur is a 2 part polyurethane adhesive / epoxy. If you are doing a small vine like a 3 hose braid you could try aquarium safe silicone instead. A subscriber told me he tried it with silicone for a smaller vine and it seemed to do ok. I can't vouch for how well this works for a large vine though, but should work alright I think. I chose elastopur because it was much more durable than silicone, but it also makes it a bit less flexible than the latter. Hope this helps!
They have held up great! When I was making these I made quite a few of them - So my technique for applying the elastopur/substrate got better towards the last vines I made. They were a success, but maybe I could try some different organics to try and enhance the texture/colour etc for future vines.
UPDATED: I know it is in another video, but how did you manage to get the Latex based drylok original masonry waterproofer in Europe? I'm about to build my Iguana a new big enclosure and with this I'm being pretty stuck. Neither do I found any good alternative for it. Thanks a lot :)
Is there a particular reason youre using garden hose for this? I have made loads of these over the years, but ive found that hemp rope is the best to use for my purposes. These look too heavy to sway in the light breeze I have inside some of my enclosures. Good vid though either way.
These vines were made to be strong, durable and sturdy climbing structures in the vivarium I made them for. Using hemp/rope etc makes a less durable/climable vine for larger animals. That method is better for vines that are for smaller animals/vivariums. The hose is convenient in that you can slip the metal wire through it to give it the ability to manipulate the vine structure as you see in the video. I do agree that the hose is a lot heavier to use but I think it worked out well for my purposes here.
@@SpectrumVivaria hmm they sell liquefied silicon or you mean tube one? do you sell them? sorry just need to know i love the way the vines came out. thank you
@@DoctorPepper4 If you want them to be the same as mine then you need to use Elastopur. I haven't seen it available in the US (a few people have asked). I suggested aquarium (animal safe) silicone as it will be available in the US and can work to stick substrate to. I was referring to the type in a tube. But I can't guarantee how the results will be for a larger vine. If you try it that way do your best to cover it with the substrates and do small sections at a time (so it doesn't cure before you try sticking it on). There is probably alternative adhesives you could use for this purpose, but Elastopur is what I found worked best for me.
Many have asked me this and I wasn't able to find it there when I looked online. I bought mine from German terrarium/reptile stores that I found online

It's not as durable as Elastopur so the result will not be the same as I have achieved here. I am sure there's other adhesives that would work well too with the same methodology
What is the epoxy used on the vines again? i cant quite make it out. Ive been looking for good looking diy vines for a while now. I am repurposing a 2 person sauna for a reptile vivarium, And these vines have made the cut. But i couldnt quite understand or hear the name of the epoxy.
