The Bio Dude Inc warehouse, showroom and everything else TOUR December 2020. Huge things for 2021.

- Hello everyone and welcome to The Bio Dude Inc UA-cam channel! I gave a tour at the beginning of 2020 when we first moved into the building and since then we've made a lot of changes to our look and how we run things. Join the Dude for a tour of our Showroom, Order Fulfillment, Green House & Manufacturing. Not only will you meet some of my staffers, you will join me as I walk you through some of the exciting changes here at our Point of Sale and what we're doing to ensure your orders get to you as quickly as possible while making sure our orders are accurate when they get to you. A huge accomplishment this year was launching of our 100% recycled shipping line, our flat rate shipping of $14.95, route insurance and launching of selling live CB animals at the Bio Dude Houston. Not to mention a 55% growth during a pandemic for the year of 2020. Huge accomplishments.
This video is just to show you guys the grind myself and my staff go through everyday. Harris County has many restrictions and local laws for business' to follow for COVID19, so keeping up with all OSHA requirements, employee safety, customer safety and of course the safety of our animals. Blood, sweat, grind, tears, risk and love for what we do are why we are so successful --- We wear masks to keep us safe and to keep our clientele safe. Since we have operating hours open to the public that is why we wear them and they are also required by Harris County and the state of Texas.
As many of you can see is that we have already outgrown this building in only a year! 2021 will be bringing a Bio Dude owned 40,000 square foot warehouse by Q4, we will be expanding our live animals and breeding programs, expanding our product line and of course looking to always get out prices down to make them more ascertainable to all!
Be sure to come visit us, Padfoot and Lulu.
Masks are required for in-store.
Thanks for watching!

A gun enthusiast, a reptile lover, a plant nerd, a business owner, this guy is cool
The Dude, is beyond cool. lol
i realize I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Luka Arian Flixportal :D
@Mark Maverick thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !
@Luka Arian happy to help :)
What an amazing business you built! Wishing you continued success.
I said screw paying 15$ in shipping & decided it was better to drive the 45 minutes it takes to get there & buy my Terra Sahara Bioactive & Beardie plant kit & my god man
No matter how many times I've seen your showroom on this channel, nothing quite does it justice like seeing it in person.
Bravo man, bravo.
Thank you very much!
16:52 “just goes to show they have a different type of intelligence” *jumps into the glass*
😂
I might drop by if I get a chance. Finally a reptile store that knows what they are doing in Houston
Protected by the 2nd amendment… man, the dude gets more and more legit every time I see him. I will definitely continue to give my business to this guy!
Wow you have accomplished so much at such a young age that is fantastic, and its absolutely amazing to see someone doing something they absolutely love good for you that is awesome
Thank you so much!

I get excited seeing all the plants you have, maybe a solo plant video?
Place is amazing, can't wait to visit someday. The passion for what you all do, really shows!
The Dude is the best. An Irish Wolfhound?! I have one too, and I love my beardie and his super cool enclosure that I created with Josh's products. I want to visit you and it is now on my bucket list!!
Wow! Just WOW! I had no idea. They have everything!
You make the BEST bioactive enclosures! Keep on doing what your doing!
Glad you like them!
Amazing and very honest dude!
I appreciate that!
Awesome video. I love seeing behind the scenes, so cool!
Glad you enjoyed!
God I wish I lived in TX! Your store is just gorgeous! I'd love to visit. But I'll have to just watch your videos. You make very nice videos, it's like I'm there!
I remember the ackies when I first went there .
Hey dude, I don't live close to your store, (I'm on the other side of the country) but I wish I could visit, also, what plants would you do in a whites tree frog palidarium
You are amazing! I love all your products and great service!
Thank you so much!
If you ever open up a store around my area, I want to work there for sure

The Dude is killing it! Just placed an order this weekend!
This is incredible and impressive.
Dude! Been watching and following you from the beginning. Your growing fast. Keep up the great work. Noticed the Steeler rug, I’m from the Burgh,boooooom!
Man I wish I had a store like that in my area
Maybe go into safari or google and search reptile stores near me. You would be surprised. That’s how I found the biodude!
DUDE!!!! I so wish I was closer, your shop looks amazing... Congrats... I ordered my substrate package for my cham, I'm so excited for her to have a great substrate bottom to lay her (infertile) eggs. I am waiting for you to get misting systems back in, as I love buying from small business owners, such as yourself...nothing...NOTHING like you in my area :(
love the crew.
I heard Tool again! I heard them playing in your last year-end video too (I think it was that one). They’re my favorite forever. 🤘 I love these videos it’s so cool to see you keep growing.
Rock on!
Very cool
Thanks man
Agreed! Wonderful info I want to visit! Thanks
You should! - the dude abides!
Hey couldn’t get through on phone today will y’all be there all this week, any special hours? We live a few hours away so didn’t want to head over until we verified your schedule, thanks again.
Really enjoyed the video. Happy to see your business doing well. When I'm ready I'm gonna hit you up on how to make a huge enclosure. Well, on what I will need inside.
Please do! we would love to help you out! send the details to Customercare@thebiodude.com so we can get you started.
Gonna need one of these in northwest Texas!!!
You guys are great! Wonderful customer service. Staff is amazing. Any idea when you’ll be able to ship plants to CA?
Thank you! We try really hard to provide great products with great service. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer about shipping to CA, as their ag laws currently prevent us from shipping plants.
Wow this is great. To take something your passionate about and turn it into a viable business with a like minded passionate staff. It's a very impressive operation and I cant wait to see what you have in store next. The Bio Dude Abides!!!
"you're"
Just placed a big order for a bioactive crested gecko kit as well as the additional plant kit!! And some ghost wood. Super excited to get it and give my gecko bioactive! I’m also going to go to a local reptile shop and get some powder blue isopods!
Please can you do a full tour of all the animals?
Nice seeing you carry Tarantulas now too, unfortunately just not one of the species I am looking to get right now.
Hii , where do you get all that terrariums? Most to be really expensive
Really like youre shop !! Good luck mate!
good video!
Hell yes
I watched the training video boss, when do i start?
Do your substrates include sand at all for any of yours and are the tree gonna come back anytime soon
Hey dude, got all my lizards and geckos on your substrate and the plants are doing amazing (except for the fire skink that bulldozed through every single plant and crushed them). Just wondering, how could I get one of those ExoTerra TerraPlex racks it looks so nice please lmk!!
What do you recommend in terms of plant cleaning and quarantine for big box plants that are going into a terrarium with an animal (tortoise) that might eat it? I’ve read to never use them, to wash and re-pot them and use them, to wash and report them and quarantine them for a year before using them to purge any chemicals.
I want to provide my tortoise some plants but I don’t know what the best practice is.
Thank you.
If your business grows even more, we need a second store, the gun dude
Great video! I wish you had not stopped selling at Pet Supplies Plus as we have always bought your product from their League City store.

Do a baby tegu bioactive enclosure for the next vid
Please expand to the Midwest, Texas is too farrrr
please expand to Europe
Where do you get the clips that you are using at the top of the large exo-terra tanks?
PUT A STORE IN LANCASTER PA I LOVE UR STUFF!!!!!!
Thanks, that is my home town
When’s next time oak leaves in stop really need a lot @thebiodude
Can u do a new bearded dragon enclosure or an update
Just let me know when you'll ship to the UK. Lol
You have a great shop. We have very few shops like yours over here.
I’d love to! Unfortunately, shipping regulations, especially regarding dirt, plants, moss, etc, are tough, but I hope to offer it one day!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter it's a 20hour round trip for me bro.
If I'm ever in you end of town..I'll definitely be in
Linustechtips but with biology I dig it.
Also i have a question i couldnt find a tetra fauna 75 gallon tank so im thinking of getting a kages tank but im worried that my beardie will touch the light i install since the light is inside the enclosure so will my beardie get hurt because of it touching the light bulb
Hey josh. Do you know anything about steppe runner lizards ?
when are you gonna put springtails back on the website???
Are your prices the same in store as online? I want to take a ride down and check the store! I am worried about one aspect, though. I use a service dog. Are your furbabies alright with him being in their space?
Yes. Just call us before. Dogs are great they just need to know that the other dog is welcome : )
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter got it, I'm so stoked. Y'all are 3.5 hours away, so I'm planning my epic escape to come down this when ever it's not super cold lol. I am working on my first build now, it's for my hognose, and he's pretty forgiving, so it should be relatively ok if I mess it up 3 or 12 times. Lol
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter follow up question: heating substrate. I'm not super pleased with my heat mats and their penetrative heating ability, do you have ceramic plate heaters or do you suggest not using them? I'm wondering if maybe that or even under floor heating for under the entire tank would be better. Suntouch and Nuheat both make a UL ok under floor heating element for use in residential showers, so I think that may be an option if it isn't under the whole tank. I have hognoses, so burrowing is another big concern.
Question about The styrofoam background that comes in the exo terra tanks , is it safe to keep in? Should I seal the foam with something first? Any tips would be appreciated!!
@@glassybleb3694 appreciate it, I’ll make sure to seal up the cracks . I was concerned about the foam molding or harvesting bacteria 🦠
Can I ask you what water you use for the amphibians tank? My tank gets dirty...
I looked up the terrarium aluminum stand system you mention in the video. Can't find it online, what's the exact manufacturer of the stand/condo system you're using in the shop?
Hagen and terra plex.
You won’t - they are for commercial only but I’m getting special permission to offer them.
Ok this a question the substrate that you created isn’t the substance a risk because it’s loose and the leopard gecko 🦎 literally licks everything and if their licking this everyday won’t it be a risk of impaction (plz let me know)
I’m just gonna go find a cash machine......
F it Dude, let's go bowling.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter .....calmer than you are
Would you recommend bee pollen for a leopard gecko at all?
Hey there, no,
I want to order some bromeliads from you but you don't ship plants to CA 😢
👍
Is that a Topo Chico?
I have a leopard gecko
I'm coming to your store tmr.
For bioactive stuff.
Open a DFW location!!!
Hopefully one day!
Wow if you were in California, or I were there, I’d hella support you over the chains. And even some of these “local” animal shops here… horrendous attitudes
….our LFS/herp store has mediocre selection, knowledge, and “over it” service. Some rare workers are passionate and people-persons though. Overall tho... socal = Overpriced (in an unreasonable way), + rarely captive-bred to boot. So yeeeeaaah, I’m jealous of y’all, thanks and great job BioDude👍🏼😁
Do yall sale live Reptiles, and ship them
Dana Smith no they don’t ship
Johnny walker is the way to go! Gotta love the blue label!
JOSH REP TIPS
So the suit got old eh?
it'll be back. (Schwarzenegger voice) - The Dude Abides
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Excellent. I'll be coming to see you soon from New Orleans.
Is this in texas
Freedom
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter what
Are you selling bio dude mask? 😷
Dude I can totally help transferring to Sam Houston or A&M in the next year or too currently @ Galveston GO WHITECAPS
@ Home till next August tho
I absolutely love this shop but I feel like not enough people are talking about his 2nd amendment remark in the video. It is crazy the idea a plant store(not meant as an insult) would need to be protected with deadly force
why you drink some beer into your business ? lol
Just got a package of bee pollen from you guys I'm wondering if I can put in a spray bottle and let my gargoyle geckos just drink it is that okay
You need to find a way to make your prices lower
Sorry bro, we ain’t a dollar general brand ;)
Talking through an unnecessary mask is not conducive to clear communication.
Bro this was filmed over a year ago
Are you kidding me with the mask
Perhaps you should read the description or watch the video? We have store hours and clients in the store.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter those masks aren't worthless against virus just next to worthless. against the virus that's deadly 0.003%of the time, lightening strike type odds
@@tsif7828 well that’s your opinion. Not the state of Texas! Perhaps you should contact the governor and CDC and let them know.
