      I'm glad I found your channel recently. I'm subscribed and like your videos.
      I just told some people about you saying Spadefoot toads can survive buried for months.
      I wonder if you could legally allow in-person tours of your pets and accept donations.
      There is probably some way to identify it and limitations that would not require permits, licenses, registrations.
      I'm sure I personally would never visit (just because I don't travel for any purpose), but if you were within 5-10 miles of my home, I would.

    This is awesome. Reminds me of when I bought a 270 gallon enclosure from a pet store that was closing. It came fully set up and they even delivered it to my house. But when I started going through all the plants and substrate, I found 3 green tree frogs, 5 fire belly toads, 2 Moorish geckos and a baby green iguana hiding inside. So I got busy building enclosures and ended up with a minizoo too. Yours is way cooler than what I had though. Congrats on your minizoo!!!

    If anyone wants an unsolicited recommendation for unusual Terrarium plants: Try hoya serpens or begonia amphioxus. Both basically impossible to keep alive outside of terrarium or cloches, but absolutely stunning and thriving in 80%+ humidity.

    Not sure about their bones, but milk frogs do have blue blood, which is actually why their everything else is blue (and why our mouth and organs are pink/red). Though I suppose their marrow would be blue at the very least, and there are blood vessels throughout the bone, so they might be blue too after all!

    Would be cool to see how long it takes the isopods to break down feces. Can't wait for updates.

I also went down the rabbit hole of looking into DIY systems but the pump cost alone on top of not having a timer it's just not feasible to get the same quality for any cheaper than just getting a starter system. There are cheaper options for nozzles and lines though!

    My milk frogs are the biggest jerks 😂bold is an understatement. Mine wait for me to change the water bowl and plant themselves in the center of the cage, in my way, because they want to eat my fingers and cause chaos. Mine wake up each day and chose violence. 😂
