      It is not too late to add plants to the side walls. a Few screws and hooks fixed to the walls and ceiling and then utilize creeping plants like vines, for example. It will look weird at the beginning, but will grow in and look amazing eventually.

    You should have a 24/7 livestream from inside the enclosure so we can watch the animal activity whenever we feel like it

  • @LukeMcGuireoides
    @LukeMcGuireoides 10 місяців тому +44

    You might need to add a piece of fruit from time to time to attract the fruit flies for the frogs, since the enclosure is so large it gives the flies room to escape the frogs.

    Actually, it just occurred to me that putting poisonous dart frogs in the junglearium might be a mistake because you really need to be careful with what kind of food they have access to in order to prevent them from becoming poisonous.

    Hey Petko! I have a 200+ colony of mourning geckos and they escape constantly. They pretty much live feral in my house at this point. They've gotten into every enclosure, feeder bins, everywhere. I've found them in the oven, in towels getting out of the shower, I've even found them near frozen outside before. I've never found a dead one though, inside or outside their enclosure. These geckos are INSANELY hardy. I wouldn't worry one bit about something being wrong in the junglearium. Good luck!

  • @anzepancur5178
    @anzepancur5178 10 місяців тому +4

    For the sides, you can buy some type of mesh that troy goldberg uses and the plants will grow on it and make your side walls green without taking much space:))

  • @sarahcarry4037
    @sarahcarry4037 10 місяців тому +4

    Id recommend setting up feeding stations for tue frogs and geckos; place some over ripe fruit around the enclosure. Any flies left inside with be drawn to the fruit, the smaller/shyer frogs and geckos can then easily eat the flies. The fruit will eventually decompose and feed your clean up crew and plants.

  • @Lessthankira

    Dear Petko, first of all congrats for this first big step to bring the Junglearium to full life! It is truly beautiful and amazing :)))
    Then, I'd like to point your attention to one little thing that concerns me a bit about it's population: I notice that "the handle" you use to open the Janglearium is basically...a HOLE! I don't have a clue if the gekos or the frogs are able to climb those panels, but since you blocked even the vents up there with finer mesh, I thought this could be a potential point of escape...so I decided to bring it to your attention, I hope this might be of any help, if needed :)
    That said, thanks a lot for your channel and your videos.
    Wish you all great 2024 and...cheers from Italy!

    Happy New Year!
    My Mourning geckos seem to prefer Pangea food for some reason, they do also predate on the rolly pollies but not as much as they go for the gecko food. I tried several other brands, but so far, Pangea watermelon and breeding seem to be their favourites. I love how personable and interactive they are.
    The small gecko that passed looks a bit squished, so it's possible one of the larger ones tried to eat it (I dont see this behaviour often, but I feed them Pangea every other day)

    My friend….you would want some tall plants to make it a true Junglearium. It would provide both shade and protection for the animals; just like in the wild. As for the sides walls, you can add a mud mixture and nothing but moss. It would be great for the animals too. I hope this gives you some ideas

  • @mart9214
    @mart9214 10 місяців тому +1

    The mg's (mourning geckos) will probably not reproduce this way. They are parthenogenesis but they often need other mg's close to them to get the impulse to start laying eggs. In the junglearium they probably wont get close enough to eachother to start laying eggs.

    The jungalarium could be fed with fruitflies by putting banapieces (put in empty beetlejelly cups) and just a lot of friutflies nearby to lay eggs in before being eaten themselves. After like 10 days babies should be hatching regularly.
    Could be done before holidays, but must be planned and should be tried on beforehand.
    I saw a zoo doing it once

    When you're bored, you just have to sit in front of it and enjoy all the different plants, animals, sections and colours. There's not a single spot that looks identical to another spot... just like nature.
    It really is a very natural, realistic habitat.
    Wonderful work!!!

    Im keeping lepidodactylus lugubris since 2019 and sold over 120 babys and I never had dead baby like that. Still I lost a few cause the somehow managed to escape and cooked themselve under the light (outside of the terra).
    The little geckos tend to munch on plants and lick everything. Could be that that little fella had an alergic reaction to one of your plants or animals. Also their spine at the upper neckpart is a bit fragile in the first few weeks, thererfor it could be broken bone. Dark spots on the Neck would indicate that.
    Additionaly Im a bit suprised that they are so slow. Most of the time my gecko babys are insanly fast and tend to teleport. Maybe they were to cooled down.
    Add: Babys of this specias tend to not drink from ponds or still water cups even when they are near to death. I noticed that very young ones only drink the water droplets on the plants after misting.
    I hope some of my Infos could help you.
    Have fun with this amazing project!
    Happy New Year!

    @Tropical_Tutorials 10 місяців тому

    Regarding the gecko that died. I think a few of them looked really tiny and seemed to be a little bit on the skinny side. I have a very hard time believing that it was your fault or something you could control, and I personally wouldn't have sold any mourning geckos at the size that smallest ones were since young ones are more susceptible to any stress or damage from the transportation.
    It warms my dart frog loving heart to see the junglearium coming to life like this!
