You didn’t acclimate your gecko properly, you need to float her in the tank for 10 mins that start to drop acclimate.
FLOAT HER IN THE TANK
He Forgot to boil to disinfect
@@FishForThought 🤣🤣🤣
@@yassetgarcia5409 ToT lmao
How dare he forget
Hey Chirs. The tank is beautiful, but you may want to consider having a few more vertical spaces for Repashy to climb on, especially in the middle of the tank. It'll give her more space to explore so she's spending less time on the glass or trampling the plants XD
I also reccomend that you add more bromeliads too since crested geckos LOVE them so much
yeah i was thinking he could add some vines or even some fake fines just to give her a bit of verticality
repatchley is grateful for the expensive snacks
no she isn't
noms
I love that u spoil your animal friends
Repatchley lol
Do you just wet the most and stick it to the background?
artificial plants in repashi's old terrarium. explain yourself mr chris
dixie normous caught broke handed
I- I can't explain.
Chirs didn’t you say that if we liek you get moneh for you and Repashy.... there ye go!
@James Fisher nice
O out og 5
You thinking about terrestrial plants is me thinking about aquatics
haha xD
Fish For Thought is it feasible to combine any aquatic animals in an paludarium setup with a crested gecko like rapashy? Like shrimp or neon tetras? Asking for a friend experienced with all the above animals
No cresties can drown easily and if they fall in the water it could kill them
“So cool to see them exploring their new world”
I feel this. I’ve been watching the nerites explore my new tank all week while I wait for the mollies to come in at the LFS.
Yes! Someone that gets it :)
Chris : say rep-a-shy
Comments : riposhpushsheep
accurate
Repashy
@Miriam Hoehn or repatisashoy but sometimes its repaotipapashi
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Repashi: 𓆈 *leap*
that's why she is rapdasho
She is a leapfrog

“You wanna be gentle” Chris like 2 seconds later 7:21
I don't know my own strength
As someone that basically has a mini jungle in my home the actual worms are never supposed to be in new clean sterile soil which leads me to believe that the soil was not storage and handled properly in the plant UA-cam world people would be pissed. 😂 I'm glad in this case it works out for you nicely! 😄
I'm glad you've decided to take the bioactive route! I'm a huge reptile fan and I'm happy to say this looks really good! I watch your other builds too, your craftsmanship is really inspiring!!
Thanks for enjoying :)
Hi ginger it’s me bendy 🙂
@@bendythegecko9650 why don't u mate with ginger my friend she is a great gecko🤣....
algae: NOOO YOU CANT JUST EAT ME
cherry shrimp: haha mouth go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
hahaha
@@FishForThought idk why but from that 'laughter' i can see you are dead inside
when you are buying aquarium / terrarium stuff you are indirectly buying for more projects, even the ones you have not thought of yet
it's very true!
Beautiful!!! I suggest adding some horizontal branches up at the top (like artificial bamboo bars or a tall piece of spider wood), my geckboi Banksy loves being at the very top of his enclosure and it is gorgeous when the plants start growing around them
I'm hoping the pothos will grow all over the top! There's a few ledges and also the big food bowl ledge, but yeah I'll look into that !
Fish For Thought awesome!! Please keep us updated, this setup is amazing and I’d love to see how it grows!
100% silicone works great! Just make sure it’s 100% silicone, or even use some that’s specifically meant for fish tanks. Let it fully cure and she’ll be good to go! 😊
Idk why but when Chris went outside I thought he was gonna start searching for a tank
I'm actually always on the look out for a wild tank
Wild caught tanks are underrated. Though reclusive, they can be found roaming the woods in search of nutritious plants. You just gotta catch one.

Man rapidash is so cute I want a crested gecko now
Chris is making something that isn’t aquatic?
*Impossible*
I know, weird times man
Fish For Thought quarantine hit Chris hard😂
its really surprising that this video is over a year old but still gives me the same feeling when i look back on it. i remember watching this 5 minuets after it was published and it still makes me happy
How does that make any sense, every new video you watch is new to you no matter when it was uploaded
@@FrickYourHandlethis is the second time watching it. Its not new
Seeing the fft notification in the morning just makes me happy
:)
There's this secret sphagnum moss patch that I know of in Vancouver... there's a big gravel path at the end of riverside drive... follow the trail for a few meters and then take a left (not the one that has rock stairs) after you turn left just follow the path until you see a small bridge look to the right off the bridge and you'll see it. That spot saved me so much money
Vancouver Washington Or Vancouver Canada???
Assuming Canada since you said meters
Tyler McBride yep
Repainting is so beautiful
true!
I’ve watched this a lot now It still makes me just as excited as the first time
Some cork bark rounds would look great in the back wall! All members of the Rhacodactylus family love em (gargoyles, leachies, cresties) They make great hiding spots too
13:47 *When realisation hit her*
same
She probably went like oooooooooohh so that's what it meant to be
This was the vid I was waiting for!
Btw Im getting a crested gecko because I saw how playful repashy was :D
hehe yay!!
Anyone else thought Repashi lived on the mic?!! Damn
haha noooo xD
This is an inspiration, I’m a reptile lover of one bearded dragon, two red eared sliders, & two crested geckos… I’m also go to own a few frogs, mud puppies, & sea horses. You’re vision is beautiful, I can’t wait to show off my Bioactive world once I’m done investing & customizing.
Im getting a chameleon gecko next week, my first reptile 😊 i have a bioactive tank i have been setting up for months now, getting the microfauna population up and letting plants establish. I love watching videos like this 😊
This was a really interesting and engaging process to watch Chris. Great job in scripting and filming it all. Perfect living conditions for Rapashy, and I’m just like you. I love watching (in my case fish) explore their new surroundings when I add any new, or re-aquascape my existing tank
thank you :) yeah it's great to see them exploring!
Chris you’re literally the reason why I went bioactive and why I have a planted tank for my betta ✨ god bless
That Rapashy pose on your brim should be on your next merch---- she looks great!
I love this! I've been thinking of doing something like this for my gecko now that I've had some experience aquascaping fish tanks and gained a little confidence. Thanks for the guide!
I may be a rat owner, not a gecko owner, but I just love watching people set up offering cages/terrariums
It looks absolutely outstanding. This is by far one of my favorite videos. 5/5 keep it up.
I love the slow-mo jumping clip! Omg the awesome sticky foot getting traction... and BAMM !! Yeah, I’d enjoy getting that on video for sure. I love finding people who are gecko lovers like me. 🦎💕
Eyyy ripshitea is back :D
she bacc
This could count as my Friday Fix. Loved it :) Greetings from Mexico
Haha yay!
So smart to reuse that ugly foam backing. I was going to toss it, but I’m going to try this out!!!
how did i go back 2 years and find aquarium co-op this feels like a dream
Chris: -scratching repashy’s neck-
Repashy: “ur my slave chinese boi”
When a gecko has a better loft than you...🤣 Man, this girl's so lucky to have you Chris! What an awesome project!!! 😍
hahaha xD thank you!
Repashi is too cute! She seems to really like her new crested gecko condo. It came out awesome. Nice job Chris. 👍🍄✌🌿😎
i'm working on a bioactive vivarium for my crested gecko right now too! you make it look so easy 😅
She is so cute we saw some babies at our LFS on a tour we filmed their....they are soooo cute....she is lucky to have you sir ....you did a great job on this🌱🌱🌱🌱👍👍
thank you!
Nearly everything in mine was free😂 just got it from the woods. I also took cuttings from my family's house plants and used old pea gravel for drainage at the bottom. At some point a tomato seed must have made its way into the enclosure because i have a tomato plant just soakin' up rays with the other plants. After a year it is absolutely beautiful and my cresty loves it
Ooooo maiden hair fern 😅 glad you’re feeling brave!
Funny you say that. It aint doing too well.
Damn that's a beautiful enclosure for Raptaechiy!
...and yes I will continue to spell his name wrong...
Thats the most right spelling of repadshyu i’ve seen
@@voriee7025 you might be just a few letters more accurate!
reupipsy
@@FishForThought reeeeeeepatchy
Green Sapling Like this? Repoopsthy?
I would recommend some more nutritious soil. Maybe add sphagnum moss, sand, bark, and plantation soil that you have and also the worm castings. Nice vid tho
thanks!
She is so pretty Chris. I have a terrarium with 3 giant african land snails, about 300 Isopods (dairy cows and giant orange) and springtails. As well as my tropical fish tanks, I also have 18 african dwarf frogs and 3 sharp ribs newts .... as well as 19 cats.
super awesome set ups you got!
So happy for you and her ! 💕
I really enjoyed this I love learning new things like this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your the best UA-camr ever, you have inspired me sooooo much! Keep up this great work!😁👍
that's awesome to hear bro
Absolutely love it Chris! Keep up the good work!
Awesome man I wish I lived over your way so I could send you some more harder to find plants like margrarvia, miniature orchids and others. Have a good Friday and enjoy!
those sound so cool! Have a nice day :)
It might not be fish but I still like it
I'm glad!
Fish For Thought dude you should bring back the low tech tank with the mine craft music those are like my favourite videos 😂
Looks amazing! I've started a bioactive tank for my crested but want to give it some upgrades! How do you modify the existing foam background to hold moss and other plants?
She is beautiful! Awesome enclosure. Great job!
Nice video Reptiles room. So cute. New enclosure Gecko 🦎 Cool Pet. 👍
When you realise a gecko has a better home than you. 👁️💧👄💧👁️
same xD
Rapashi looks in Chris's fishtanks and wonders,"why I no have real plant?"
basically xD I felt so bad
Thanks for the video! Was looking for a video where I could see the moss lol. I'm searching for sphagnum moss to make moss poles for my plants, and wasn't able to see how this one in particular looks like IRL after being expanded. We have these in pet shops.
Thanks again!
Recently came back to the fish / aquarium hobby. This is by far the best channel Ive seen.
Ty so much 🔥
This is so cute, looks like repachy is really enjoying his new home! 🥰
I hope so!
Yaas ive been wanting a crestie forever and i wanted to see your tank for rererererepaapapapashshshyyy!
yay c:
I like how you added the moss to the background. I've been trying to figure out ways to make my exo terra backgrounds look better, might use that idea.
Bro! This is awesome!!! U and repashey are sooo lucky! This is the best vid ever!
much thanks!!! :))
i’m sure rasputin is beyond grateful!
bruh her name is respiratory
Bruh her name is replacement
Right?
Right?
RIGHT?!!!
I do not think your gecko is going to know the difference between that fish tank and the Amazon jungle
maybe not to our extent but her behavior has definitely changed a bit! She's also shedding because humidity is much higher now.
Tank looks gorgeous thanks for the video
Wow that bucket of OG kush😍 6:51
Chris: yuor gecko will thank you
Me: cries in broke over my nine gallon
aw xD
I've never housed my cresties any less than a 40 gallon at mature age. I honestly believe it's neglect to not have proper space for them. Imagine if all your life, you only have that amount of space to move around, and you were only taken out for a little bit each week?
R.I.P Friday Fix
I'm still satisfied with this though
I have a crestie as well and we got him a 90cm tall and 46 wide enclosure and thanks for showing me what I need
Looks great Chris! Thats one happy lizard! Hoping that everyone on the East coast didn't lose their fishtanks from the storm outtages
:,(((
Wow chris repadshae hasn’t been on this channel for a while.
Spelt it wrong on purpose.
Second time I saw you today :)
think you meant radishpoopashy
Ok
Ray Kebede ah yes sorry for my improper grammar.
@@FreshDesignLLC grammar is quite the touchy subject on the internet. Glad you could understand fellow intellectual.
Repashy when she doesn’t see her terrarium
Repashy I don’t wanna go I. I don’t wanna go
she a nervous gurl
Amazing set up, in getting my first crested Gecko on Wednesday 🙏
