Yes they are all female. I've had mine for over a year and have found a few eggs but I think they eat the babies or something because I've never seen any new geckos wandering around.
I really like the enclosure. Its sleek and the bar in the middle is small compared to the others...but I will say this. The top portion does leak a bit when the glass is covered in moisture. It ends up dripping down a bit. I'm in the process of adjusting the misting and I even added a ball valve to the pump to slow the flow so I can get rid of all the condensation on the glass. I've got it narrowed in pretty well now though and otherwise its an awesome terrarium. Best I can find anyways.
Good luck with yours! My advice...just take your time. In between each of those steps was basically me just walking by for the rest of the night getting little details and just basically enjoying each step.
Loved how the soft music started the moment the first Gecko landed in his new home.😊 I have been wanting a few Mourning Geckos, and this video has confirmed my desire… well done!
I'm actually uploading a video of converting it over to a terrarium right now...the water didn't work out. Mostly because I mistakingly didn't seal the edges of the glass and the condensation would make it constantly leak. That and it was just soppy and moist in there to grow anything so I fixed it all up! The geckos were fine with the water though. They mostly hang in the top.
What's up Ryan hey IAM ur first watcher for this vid and ur first like,,lol ,how u been been waiting to see when u made another video,ur funny and entertaining as shit,I mean not shit like feces IAM mean like shit as the bomb the man,,lol smfh whatever anyway holly back sometime .
I actually made a new video where I converted this build into a terrarium and stopped using the water feature. There was just too much condensation in the end but when I want to maintain the pump I can simply open the lid and remove it from the area where it sits in the back.
regardless...I still think that stuff is magic and I love using it. The terrarium is looking even better now. I recently replanted it and its growing in like a wild jungle.
I don't even know what acrylic glass is but it sounds sharp haha. Ya get some PVC board. I used 1/4 inch on this build, but i'm also getting some sheets of 1/2 inch because I think it would be great for building canopies and that sort of thing too.
You'll be fine. Did you use sand or something on the bottom? Really the only point of the false bottom is to give the pump a little depth of water to sit in.
Thanks. I recently replanted it and removed the water feature and it's doing even better. Its a little overgrown at the moment and I hope to create a clean up vid.
Thank you. I'm still working out a few kinks here and there, but I'm getting everything dialed in over the weeks and its just enjoyable to watch. My biggest annoyance right now is the glass gets foggy and I constantly have to squeegee it.
I just wanted you to know that a vivarium is a tank with creatures in it (I'm pretty sure) , and a poludarium, which is what your making, has an area with water in it, I got them mixed up too. But overall, loved your paludarium. And when you said the plant where bromiliads, I think you where talking about those cryptanthus plants
I probably did get the names all wrong. The gecko vivarium does have geckos in it. Is that what you means by critter or do you mean having fish or something in the water portion? To be honest i'm debating removing the water portion all together because i've been having some condensation issues. I talk about it a bit in my recent plant room tour video.
I'm late to the party.... if anyone should read this, 'vivarium' is correctly an overarching term for a container housing life in a way that it can be observed/studied. So an aquarium, paludarium, riparium etc are all vivaria. But common usage of the word 'vivarium' seems now to be a land-based setup.
Schönes Terrarium, schön gestaltet und gebaut, ABER viel zu klein und überhaupt nicht geeignet für diese Geckoart. Zu wenig Äste oder ähnliche Klettermöglichkeiten, der Wasserteil könnte der sichere Tod der Kleinen bedeuten und auch die Bepflanzung entspricht nicht dem natürlichen Habitat dieser Art. Trotzdem schöne Arbeit und gutes Video, nur bitte nicht nachahmen - zum Wohle der Tiere.
Most people keep these species in tiny half gallon jars. In fact most people use mourning geckos as feeder lizards. This terrarium is a palace compared to that and the entire wall is full of climbing opportunities.
will you update us and let us know if you end up needing the additional spray heads with the waterfall? I am curious the waterfall if you will end up not needing the extra humidity. . . also, do they spend much time in the standing water or just use the falls to drink? thanks! These girls will start multiplying soon! :P
So i'm sort of in the middle of that whole experiment...I've got the spray heads coming on every other day for only about 25 seconds. I'm getting a ton of condensation on the glass and the terrarium i'm using isn't sealed on the upper portion so it leaks a tiny bit. At this point i'm trying to narrow down the perfect amount of spraying to get the plants that are a little further away from the waterfall but i'm really battling the constant condensation and sometimes just want to turn the waterfall off. One more note I also had to add a ball valve to the pump because it was WAY TO STRONG without it and ended up just saturating the place. I'll do an update video sometime soon.
Nice Paludarium! You might need more twigs for the mourning geckos to climb on in my experience. They would certainly enjoy that!
aare mourning geckos all female? I mean in general, not yours specifically. They're going to reproduce fast, so be aware of that hehe
Yes they are all female. I've had mine for over a year and have found a few eggs but I think they eat the babies or something because I've never seen any new geckos wandering around.
Dude I'm so glad you made this I was looking at that same enclosure and was wonder if it was big enough or how it would work out thank you!
I really like the enclosure. Its sleek and the bar in the middle is small compared to the others...but I will say this. The top portion does leak a bit when the glass is covered in moisture. It ends up dripping down a bit. I'm in the process of adjusting the misting and I even added a ball valve to the pump to slow the flow so I can get rid of all the condensation on the glass.

this video and your whole channel is awesome
Thank you Hugh. I'm pretty proud of this new build!
LOVE IT trying to do similar builds looks awesome
Good luck with yours! My advice...just take your time. In between each of those steps was basically me just walking by for the rest of the night getting little details and just basically enjoying each step.

How you finding the geckos vs the water ? Im currently working on one and i cant stop worring about water vs the geckos .😊
I'm actually uploading a video of converting it over to a terrarium right now...the water didn't work out.

Holler back I ment.lolnot holly that's a girl name...lmao
What's up Ryan hey IAM ur first watcher for this vid and ur first like,,lol ,how u been been waiting to see when u made another video,ur funny and entertaining as shit,I mean not shit like feces IAM mean like shit as the bomb the man,,lol smfh whatever anyway holly back sometime .
Feces are pretty funny and thank for for being my first Anthony! You rock ✌️
Great video. Very Bob Rossian
what about cleaning the water and the pump how do you do that ? Thanks 🙏
I actually made a new video where I converted this build into a terrarium and stopped using the water feature. There was just too much condensation in the end but when I want to maintain the pump I can simply open the lid and remove it from the area where it sits in the back.
looks beautiful but you are not afraid that the geckos will drown in this water?
They are still alive.
That expanding foam must've been a nightmare to get off haha
regardless...I still think that stuff is magic and I love using it. The terrarium is looking even better now. I recently replanted it and its growing in like a wild jungle.
Oh man awesome build! Definitely need to add the pvc board to my building supplies, I was using acrylic glass and it was a huge pain in my 🌭
I don't even know what acrylic glass is but it sounds sharp haha. Ya get some PVC board. I used 1/4 inch on this build, but i'm also getting some sheets of 1/2 inch because I think it would be great for building canopies and that sort of thing too.
ok how do you keep the bugs in and over populating the tank ? Thanks again !
Honestly I never see them and have no idea if I kept them in there or not haha. I figure they wouldn't wanna leave their universe.
Trying to do something similar for reed frogs! Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm sure they are gonna love it. I'm not sure what a reed frog is but now I have something to look up!
when i was buiding my ten gallon vivarium i forgot the false bottom but its been looking good for 3 months should i leave it
You'll be fine. Did you use sand or something on the bottom? Really the only point of the false bottom is to give the pump a little depth of water to sit in.
@@DontMindRyan ok thanks for the help
and this video was awsome
my vivarium is slighly molding in the substrat is that normal
I've personally noticed that almost all terrariums go through a fungal phase like that. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.
@@DontMindRyan yoooo thanks im getting mourning geckos as soon as they come in stock
Looks great
Thanks. I recently replanted it and removed the water feature and it's doing even better. Its a little overgrown at the moment and I hope to create a clean up vid.
Such a nice enclosure

Alright
I just wanted you to know that a paludarium is a type of vivarium. And cryptanthus are a type of bromeliad. So nothing he said was wrong necessarily
I can see his nasty smirk like "hahaha another correction to make, let me suit up, where's my cape darling?"
