thank you for this!! i live in aus and have green tree frogs and want to go bio active but all info i find is American which isn't helpful for supplies. off to bunnings and the nurseries i go lol
No worries! Glad you got something out of it!
Awesome build mate loving the naturalistic enclosures you’re building.
Viv_scape thanks mate!
wow zoo quality cages i recoon you always make some awsome cages for your reptiles cant wait to see more
Bing chilling
Good volume on the intro mate and cheers for the vid! been thinking of getting some frogs myself so ty for the enclosure ideas :)
Blackout Serpents & Reptiles glad you enjoyed it!
Have you thought about using a piece of half cut pvc tubing coated with coco fiber and moss to hide the cord? Looks awesome, also where did you find that background
I have thought about it but to be honest it’s so grown in now that I can’t see it. I got the universal backgrounds through my workplace, Hi-Tek Aquariums.
Super dope video!
Josue's Exotics thanks!
please give an update!!
Unfortunately I no longer own these guys. Now I only have one magnificent tree frog who’s in a lot more of the more recent tour videos etc.
Looks amazing
Thanks!
Smashed it mate looking 🔥🔥🔥
Mr Brooks thank you!
what plants would you recommend for a perons tree frog?
Umbrella plants, pothos, bromeliads are all good frogs friendly plants.
where do you get the red eye tree frogs? im finding them so hard to find
Keep your eyes peeled on reptileclassifieds. They come up a few times a year at least.
looks amazing. How did you seperate the land area from the water without the land area getting to bogged?
Thanks! At around 11:30 you can see me pack out most of the land side using course aquarium sponge that some of the plants had already grown through. I used a piece of drainage fabric to seperate the mulch from the sponge.
How big are those terrariums mate
45/45/60cm mate
What size cage/tank thing would you recommend
Hello, I really like your channel. I’ve been wondering is your terrariums bioactive
Thank you:)
Thanks! Yes they are.
what do you do for heating and lighting for these frogs??
They had a t5 7% uvb tube and a 6500k led light bar above them. I provided no heating other than the ambient temp rises from all the reptile tanks in the room. This garage used to get pretty hot.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts thanks so much man!!
Can they swim? I'm really liking that setup with the water up front, I'm thinking about doing something like that i just want to make sure they can swim haha
Sure can!
Hey there, Just wondering what water pump and hosing set up did you use?
Also, what brand of eucy mulch did you use for the red eye tree frogs? Just bunnings stuff or?
@@bdb802 I believe it’s an aqua one 301F internal filter or 300F. Tubing was just something that fit.
Eucy mulch is ANL mulch sold at Bunnings and ANL.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts Thanks alot!
Hello another comment sorry, where do you buy your cleanup crew etc I cants seem to find anything anywhere
I bought mine off gumtree a couple of years ago. Sometimes you can get them off other local hobbyists.
If you type in google pet city Mt Gravatt you can find they sell isopods and springtails :)
What did you use for your substrate mix ? Thanks
max benson I use a mix of eucalyptus mulch and coir peat. These days I’ll use organic potting mix underneath the mulch as well to help the plants grow.
What's the frog species featured on the thumbnail?
onjahbro litoria Chloris - red eyed tree frog.
What sort of lighting do you use for your red eyes enclosure
max benson I use a high output t5 6500k plant grow light.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts i noticed you didnt use a uvb light. how is this going for your frogs? are they just fine with a calcium supplement? thanks
@@maxbenson1416 that’s right I haven’t been using uvb however I dust their food heavily with a good quality calcium and vitamin d3 supplement. However I’m most likely going to be replacing the globes with uvbs as I’m now running leds as well for the plants.
Do you buy your activate charcoal from Bunnings ?
Sure do :)
@@BeachesScalyBeasts the brunnings horticultural charcoal ? Thanks for your help mate
And also is it safe to buy plants from Bunnings as well
@@carlynaera2344 yep that’s the brand! Yes I buy a lot through Bunnings, just wash them and keep them for a while before use.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts thanks again and sorry to be a pain but do you also mix the eucy mulch in with the charcoal ? And I know this is a dumb question but just wash the plants with water ?
Bioactive? Where is the CUC?
He might have added em off camera, but it would be hard to get a clean up crew in the “swampy” tank, as the soil is waterlogged.
@@patmurphy1080 That's not a problem at all for springtails and many isopod species.
@@DraconisMarchVII really? well I assume he added them off cam
Sorry mate, added them but must have missed filming it. Ok only human and I’m sometimes forgetful. Sorry!
