- In this video the Bio Dude discusses how to setup a bioactive terrarium for a Green or Gray Tree Frog. These interesting frogs make great terrarium subjects as they are out during the day at times, are very active and bold. I discuss how to setup your bioactive enclosure which functions via different microbiological processes and utilizing different tank janitors such as springtails and isopods. You also get a small glimpse of the Dude's dogs here at the Bio Dude Houston.

Absolutely love this video and appreciate how unedited it is. Shows real life with the dogs being dogs, the frogs jumping around, and the start-to-finish of setting up this bioactive terrarium. Learned a lot and will be checking out some of these products!
Thank you very much! appreciate this feedback!! :) We love the hectic "real life" we can provide in the videos lol!
I enjoy hearing the dogs mauling each other in the background 😂
Rumpus play time is always the best time!
That’s my life. Dogs happy in the background and me trying to work…..I love this.
So cool to see you make a bioactive gray treefrog setup.
beautiful dogs, their coat reminds me of some kind of prehistoric mammalian animal, and great vivarium for frogs and anoles.
Thank you Dude! You are the man!
The Bio Dude Josh Halter thanks!
We live in Delaware.. a few years ago a little Delaware grey tree frog made the very long journey from the river behind our house to our front flower bed. If I went outside he would come out and sit on the step with me…we had many profound conversations. When hubby cut the grass the frog would sit on top of the bricks edging the bed and watch…I do mean watch…froggy would turn back and forth as Kacz changed directions. He was a real joy. One day he disappeared. I like to think he made the long journey back to river…such a little guy…and participated in the production of many tadpoles. Realistically, he may have been dinner for something, but I prefer to believe he’s still out there in a tree singing to his lady love.
Aww I love that
Wow, you just introduced two different subjects that one doesn’t hear about every day: terrariums for Gray or Green Tree Frogs, and Resurrection Fern! There are loud, cute and apparently prolific Gray Tree Frogs around our farmhouse, on the heels of weekly summer storms, so I am presently planning to create a transition habitat for their tadpoles discovered in a water feature container. It brings back great childhood memories of raising tadpoles in little habitats with water, rocks, moss, plants, within my mom’s glass baking dishes. Thanks, from The Piedmont of North Carolina. p. s. Now I am really on the lookout for Resurrection Moss, such a cool plant, that we once had in an old tree at our coastal N. C. house, transplanted from a family cemetery in Kingstree, S. C.
You should make a setup with Serpa Design.
So Ive been told! I should reach out to Tanner one of these days.
I hope you do, it'd be awesome to see a build built by you two, and interesting to see how you work together.
P
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Perhaps work together on the "challenge" I proposed to him. Creating a terrarium using edible plants. A lot of people seemed to like that idea. Not sure if he'll do it though.
He shouldn't. if so, Serpa should do all the work and let the BioDude just sit in the background. Maybe hand him a few pieces of cork bark or hold his water bottle.
Dude! You’re absolutely killing it with the videos! Please make more more more more more more
@Super Satanski I try lol. Its tough, running this size business and having a personal life while making the time for these videos + budgeting for them can be challenging. Have some great content coming in Feb!
This is so helpful! Thank you so much! Gave me so much more confidence.
Glad I found your channel, trying to figure out a frog tank for my son, I’ve been a fish hobbyist my whole life so I’m scratching my head on the frogs! This was super helpful and informative
Got my order... setup tank and looks great... give day or two for springtails and such get settled in before move frogs over to new bigger habitat
Again, I just watched this as a followup to another vid. You deserve a LOT more views and subs. Fantastic job teaching AND subtly filling in the blanks. Eleventeen stars!
Great job 👍 I'm going to be rehousing my grey tree frogs and I gained some knowledge from your video. ✌
This video was SO informative! Thank you! Gonna subscribe!

Hello,
I am a Pennsylvania herping channel and I heard you say that you were from PA. I was happy to hear that.
My channel focuses on the frogs and toads specifically from PA and when you had gray tree frog in the title it caught my eye. On my channel I go herping and showcase my pets who are ambassadors for their species.
I am pursuing a herpetology degree to research frogs and toads, and one of the frogs I want to study is the eastern gray tree frog.
I was very impressed with the knowledge you have of the native tree frogs and that looks to be a good setup for at least one tree frog. I must say that more of the information and the setup would accommodate a green tree frog more so than the gray. Grays at least from the Northeast hide in the cracks of trees away from the heat so the temperature above 80-82 in captivity could be harmful. I say this only about the gray not the green because the gray tree frogs native range ends in Virginia and it is a more cold hardy frog rather than heat tolerant. I believe you are very knowledgeable and I am subscribed to you because you are very great at what you do. As I said maybe you have seen grays on leaves in other places but where I have found them I haven't seen them on the leaves.
My grays (4) are soon to hibernate and then will live in a 125 gallon that's bioactive. I only keep native or naturalized plants for my native species, but you have some great ideas for a setup and placement for an enclosure. I also wanted to say the Giant North American Millipede will be the major component of my clean up crew as opposed to isopods. Just thought you would find that interesting.
Anyways, great job on the video and I can't wait to see what you show us next. Congratulations on your business!
I didn’t even know this. Im glad I went about it the way I did though . Your information is worth so much to me. That I can’t explain. I can learn as slow as I need to. 🎉 your The Bio Dude 🫶🏼🤙🏼✌🏼
You’re awesome dude 💪🏼
I appreciate that! thank you!!
I’d love to see a video on an hourglass tree frog enclosure! There’s so few videos on them so it’d be really helpful
Another great video!
Super impressive, this guy should have his own TV show.
Thank you so much for creating this video because I’m getting ready to get a tree frog and I need to know the basic steps of setting up the terrarium
Hey there! Awesome! I will link the kits here for you! - www.thebiodude.com/collections/bioactive-frog-terrarium-kits/products/gray-green-tree-frog-habitat-kit
Thank you for explaining how to assemble a bio Terrarium
I love my Gray! Jean (Xmen ref ftw) will actually sing to me if I sing back. So vocal with so much personality for these little guys. Thanks for the video of the set up. I cant wait to upgrade her to her new enclosure.
thats awesome! Please let us know if we can assist you in getting that upgrade quote! Customercare@thebiodude.com
I wanna go to the US just to buy your stuff, keep up the great work
awesome bio build!!! thanks for the demo!!!🙂👍👍🤙✌🤞❤
Thanks for watching!
Amazing work.i live in Scotland and would love one of these . Thank you for sharing your fascinating video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!👍🏻
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
This Is So cool and I learned alot... hopefully the drawing isn't over as I would love to do this for my Grey Tree frogs... They seem so sad in the housing i have them in Now.. But I absolutely Adore when they sing back and forth with me :)
Daaaamn this guy is getting super bio hahahaha, congratulations for you affort man
first ever video of watched on bio tanks, and it seems to have all i need in it and more, ive got 3 magnificent green tree froglets and they need a bigger place to call home, so im building one from the ground up, wish I could get my gear from you but I'm on the other side of earth.
Frog alert!
Lol! Great video and set up.
I have your arid soil and more stuff to set up my leopard gecko set up.
You got me hooked on bio tanku
I breed white lip green tree frogs here in tropical far north Australia. We just keep them in green houses out on the back patio as its warm all year round. No need for heating.
Interesting to see all the things going in. We just out in some lava rocks as the base, home grown compost above then some sugar cane mulch.
Then finally tropical plants like caladiums, cordalynes etc. with drift wood.
Last breeding cycle with 1 female got 800 plus tadpoles.
This video was chaotic but in a good way! I love your dogs btw.
rockin and rollin
thanks for ur video very help ful I'm doing yellow sunglasses tree frogs and placing an oder some of ir stuff is sold out but found other place to similar products thanks again
My ball python and I siting here waiting for our 55 gallon accent pack to come in the mail.
The dogs and the hopping frog made this video 😂😂😂😂 props to you on how kool you kept it 😂
Thanks dude!
super informative video with actual tools normal people can use
the only thing is, did you already check your plants for parasites/root rot/fertiliser beads beforehand?
Can you PLZ make a video on fungus gnats?? I appreciate all of your knowledge!
I don't know how to prevent them, but I do know fungus gnats and small jumping spiders keep them in check.
Hi! Could You do a tutorial about Fire Skink Bioactive Enclosure? Best regards!
wow, I think you need a bigger tank with all the stuff you wanted to cram into it. lots of advice that I'll be pondering on when i make my riparium.
I want you to know that I play a drinking game while watching your videos
Every time you say "let's rock and roll" or any variation of that phrase, I take a sip of my drink
I'm having a wonderful time
Do any of your already established bio active enclosures work well with pink tongue skinks? Like the blue tongue one + more climbing?
Oh my goodness I have a nano combo dome and somehow never thought to put an LED in it! I have a basking light and in the winter, a red light for heat. I keep the enclosure under my grow lights for my plants. I just upgraded to an ExoTerra 18x18x24 - I have an 8 month old anole that I found (I live in Chicago!) and when he's mature, I'm getting him some lady friends. Would the nano combo dome work for that size, with an LED and a basking spot? How can I keep it warm in the winter?
Do you use smaller species of earthworms as a cleanup crew?
And would you suggest a home composer for cultivating your crews?
I have seen and caught them in Tennessee just info enjoyed the video
Keep the great videos coming! I hope I don't offend you but you remind me sooo much of "Stewart" from the big bang theory series 😂😂
Josh can you make a Fish scale gecko or northern spiny tailed gecko setup?
Do you sell this as a kit online? I have 7 gray tree frog tadpoles and I will soon be needing a proper environment for them.
How are they doing now? Sorry just curious if you don’t mind!
Those dogs in the back 😂
you should put a link or affiliate link to your store so we can jsut pick off all the stuff you are using.
Like what is the acorn/durian thingy you put during the mosses setup in this video? I saw the package glow something and i have no idea what it is? Let me know.
if i stick a heat mat on the side and set the temp to what i want would that work f9r heating
What is your opinion on a converted 10 g fish tank made vertical with a conversion kit
What was the plant list you had for this tank? I absolutely loved them!
HE HAS A DOG CALLED PADFOOT! I LOVE HIM!
Could you use some of the same items in this set up for a Mexican waxy tree frog? I want to make my guy as happy as possible and any recommendations would be awesome
Thanks for such a great video. Where do you place the ends of a combo thermometer? What is best heat and humidity levels during day and during night?
Hey there Cindy! in a shaded area not directly underneath the heating element, but where the animal would bask on a regular basis,hope this helps please let us know if you have any further questions! Temperatures need to stay around room temperature at all times, humidity spikes are alright but around 40-70 % spike is best. Hope this helps!!
Your soo cool :)
Great I just subscribed awesome I'll be back! 😄🐸👏🏻
Can dairy cow springtails be used for leopard gecko setups?
My frog loves going up to her uvb lol
Funny how people say they don't need it
Thats awesome! Check these out from The Dudes Blog page! - www.thebiodude.com/blogs/reptile-and-amphibian-caresheets-with-cited-veterinary-and-herpetology-sources/introduction-to-uvb-and-reptiles-part-1
www.thebiodude.com/blogs/reptile-and-amphibian-caresheets-with-cited-veterinary-and-herpetology-sources/introduction-to-uvb-part-2
i will be buyimyour kit in a week or 2
Do you sell iso pods and spring tails on your site, ?
And how long until you get spag moss back in stock!!! I’m trying to buy all my stuff from the dude!
He does have cleanup crew, but he it seemed like he doesn't ship during the colder weather. Most likely so they don't die in shipping. You can sign up with your email to see when they come back in stock.
Do I need both isopods and springtails for my frog terrarium or can start off with just isopods?
isopods mostly go after dead leafs, rotting bark, and lichens. I believe springtails are for the mold, discarded food (if feeding fruits) and rotting matter. it is possible to go just isopods, but having both is just helpful for the whole cycle.
What if where I live my room temperature reaches to 80 to 87 degrees, would I need a heat source for hot spot or only during the winter season? Please and thank you!
Definitely.
there was one of these in my kitchen last night not even kidding i have no idea how it got into the house but it was so cool! we released it near a pond i hope he has a good life! ( i live in ontario)
That frog? That's crazy cuz they're not native to here. The only tree frogs we have in ontario are cope grays tree frogs. Also spring peepers (which are treefrog like)
@@jeffsproule3197 i had never seen one before my brother said it looked like someones pet we grew up here in the creeks and valleys and ravines catching snakes and frogs but never encountered one of these before. as i say it was literally on the ground in my kitchen i have no idea how long it was in here or how it got in but i released it near some big trees near a big pond close to our house right before the lightning and thunder came down a few weeks back!
@@yoyoyo9669 that's actually awesome!
@@jeffsproule3197 i hope hes living a good froggy life!
Hi! I loved the video, it was incredibly helpful since I’m trying to get my first tree frog. I have a quick question we’re exactly does one find a bio shot like yours I’m not entirely sure what to look for.
Thank you!
Sup bee boy, here ya go - www.thebiodude.com/collections/bioactive-substrates/products/bio-shot-per-6-qt-bag
Same I’m trying to get a gray tree frog
You can’t buy the full kit online?
Updated paludarium videooooo!
I’m a little confused about the UVB part. You said not to use the CFL uvb bulbs but then recommended the Reptile 100 and ReptiSun 5.0. I thought those were both CFL bulbs? So on small tanks like that where you can’t have a large tube light, wouldn’t CFL style bulbs be your only option?
I need a terrarium like that!!! I just captured a gray tree frog 🐸 and now looking for a terrarium for her.
Hey Kasie, I will link the Kit that the Dude used here! If you have any questions please reach out to customercare@thebiodude.com and the team can get you situated! www.thebiodude.com/products/gray-green-tree-frog-habitat-kit Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for letting me know this. I really appreciate it
Hi I love frogs what kind of frog is the green one at the beginning ??
How do you test them for the fungus
Can you do a Arizona bark scorpion terrarium with succulents
hello! important! do they ACQUIRE water dish? or they can eat water droplets from leafs etc.
Hey bio dude I have this fruit fly/ nat fly infestation in my African bullfrogs tank how do I keep these out for good
Is it possible to add springtails and isopods to an existing terrarium? Also, how do you add more leaf litter once everything is assembled?
You can actually find them as far north as Indiana/Ohio/Kentucky/Tennessee. I have a good little populace in my neighbor's run-down pool.
Can you please have your website sell to customers in Vancouver Canada? Please and thank you :)
Awwsome video. Would this setup work for a Whites tree frog? What changes would be needed?
Hey hey! the dude has a whites tree set up video! i shall link it here! - ua-cam.com/video/LntppD_xtR4/v-deo.html
Hey dude! I would love to try your products. I'm planning on buying a reptile, or a few now that I'm finnancially stable enough to keep them. But I live in Europe and I unfortunately probably can't order from you. Do you know any European Reptile product sellers who are trustworthy, and have similar products to yours?
Question.. how often do they call? Just during breeding season or all the time? Is it just the male that calls with this species or does the female also call? I have 5 different species of dart frogs with only males that call. Some species of female darts will call, but most do not. And these frogs that have made their home in my pond are soooo loud, i hope they dont call all the time.. lol
My Hyla cinerea are all dark colored. Not green. Any ideas? Big bioactive vivarium, live plants, good feeding. Humidy about 70-80%
Great build, I was actually thinking of making a bioactive anole tank but if I win this raffle, I'll be great.
Hi Josh, Thank You so much for this video. Recently, an elderly gentleman passed away and his family donated his green & grey tree frogs and an Anole to our family. His family told me all 3 of them were cohabitating in this little 10 gallon aquarium that they were in when we picked them up. Should I leave them together or is it mandatory that I separate the 2 frogs from the Anole? Thank You for the help. :)
Anoles have almost the same exact diet as the frogs, and neither are territorial, they should be fine together. Especially considering the size of the tank
Hi. I'm new at this. Please be kind. Would this be appropriate for Whites Tree Frogs? Thanks.
Have you ever done a grow tent setup? I am wanting to build one with a waterfall, pond, banana plants real soil for plants to grow in with a mister. That would be the best setup.
Hey there! look into Hydroponics as a more effective option for that! Hope that helps!!
AWESOME Video...question... how do you clean the Bio Active Exo-terrarium? Self-Cleaning/Self-Maintaining... for how long??
Hey there Sheryl! with regular maintenance and upkeep they can last for QUITE the time! Mostly it is spot cleaning the excess that the clean up crews have not gotten to and wiping the glass of water spots. We have some enclosures at the store that have been going for 10 years! i will link here for you! - ua-cam.com/video/vaWOqzEbfyE/v-deo.html
Ok grey tree frogs do they have tobe bought frim a breeder or can they be wild caught
Would you be able to use a heating mat under the terrarium instead of a heat lamp? I would still be using a UVB bulb up top.
I recommend a heat lamp due to their natural behaviors and inclination to be up higher. They are also more effective at heating than an under tank heater due to having to penetrate the substrate layer.
I have a tree frog but I don’t know what type I find it in my bathroom it’s still a baby I was wondering do you have any advice what can I use as a habitat
Hi, I have a question for you. I have bought Gorilla Waterproof Patch and Seal. It is different than regular Gorilla Glue. Do you think it will be safe to use in a tank I am setting up for dart frogs?
honestly as we have not used it, I'm not sure
i have a really small gray tree frog and he is only the size of a penny right now, i need advice on the best way to get him in and out of the tank for cleaning
you could get a deli cup, or cleaned bottle with a lid (just make sure it has some holes) to keep them in while you clean.
I can not wait to get one of these!! I won’t get my frog without one!! ♥️ Are they made in America? Texas owned is good but Made in America would be even better
Brendyn Molnar bruh she’s saying that it’s good that the store is in texas but is wondering if the materials are made in america
Brendyn Molnar I’m from Texas and I’m in the United States Army I’m well aware of all 50 of the states. 🤦🏽♀️ you make me wonder about society
How do u keep it warm
So do I need the bugs or creatures for this environment and and the plants I thought I only need moss and a spray bottle
hey there! yes the clean up crew is what makes a bioactive, bioactive. you CAN keep them on just the soil without bugs and add moss, but the moss will do better with a full environment. we have a mossarium, here! (not to keep reptiles in) ua-cam.com/video/wIfMP1sDGt0/v-deo.html
