65 Gallon Bioactive Vivarium with Waterfall for Python // I Didn’t Think This Would Happen…
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2021
- When something happens to the old vivarium and a new snake is on the way, I have to scramble to make a new enclosure from scratch. This time around, the bio active cage is done better and with a waterfall.
Btw, I wrote a fantasy book with fire-based magic if you're interested 😉

I don’t do this often but the transitions in this video and editing is top tier, came for the bio active stuff and stayed for the editing haha. Keep doing what you do best!
I appreciate it!
Least I now know I'm not the only one that buys absolutely "everything" I could ever possibly need for a new build. Never thought of using the bath to store it all in, nice one. 😆
this is a brilliant setup that gave me so many ideas and i learned tons! the editing was also great and super engaging, thank you!
Very well done editing and the vivarium looks awesome
Omg it’s finally here! Your vids have such an amazing quality and thats not even to mention the beauty of your creations! Keep on building!
This just made my day 🥰
What did you use to cover the pump? And what plants did you use?
I used some matala mat filter foam over it then put rocks over that. Eventually I went back and made an egg crate based cover that like just like the rocks
Amazing beautiful friend
Bruh your videos deserve so many more views! Your quality of content is incredible!
So is your waterfall cycled or do you have to change the water out every other day?
The build and waterfall are are both still going strong, 2 years in!
The waterfall has a filter on it that I have to clean out every so often, but mostly I don’t need to do much maintenance on it.
What size tank do you have?
This one is around 65 gallons
36” wide, 18 tall, 24 deep
How does this not have more likes? This thing is beautiful
I’m so excited! Love your vivs
Thank you! This video was quite the project haha
I suggest everyone resilicone over the existing seams on new tanks. My exo terra didn't start leaking until a week after I had it set up already.
Absolutely 💯
I’ve been looking forward to this
Super duper!! Love your stuff man
I wish you went more into detail like you older vid.
If yer on a waiting list, I'd say super dwarf retic 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
That’s what I ended up going with!
Posted my unboxing experience if you’re curious
Did you show how you made the hide?
I did not for time’s sake. But it was just a regular plastic hide, I coated it with the Great Stuff expanding foam, let dry. Carved. Coated in 100% silicone, then pressed in the coco fiber from the background
this is exactly the kind of bioactive viv i have been looking for to build! Thanks for sharing!
Of course!
@@JustTravis_trj is that petrified bark? the grey bark used in your fall itself
@@Red8675309666 the waterfall is made of gray Seiryu Stone, it’s my favorite.
Maybe I just missed it in the video, but where is the tank from?
This one is from Repti Zoo.
I’ve actually really enjoyed their product quality compared to the other bigger brands out there.
@@JustTravis_trj thank u sm! they look great
That prob lasted all of 2 days making ot out of cardboard. Lol
I have a rainbow boa, jungle carpet, and a black milksnake.
I was very close to getting a carpet
Trav ,enjoy your
Enjoy your vids I built a bioactive and put in foamboard in a water feature.The foamboard slowly got saturated and leaked.
If I build again I'd go with PVC enclosure for your brazilian. Can drill through with no cracking issues and waterproof
For sure. This isn’t foe the Brazilian, but I’d definitely do it a bit differently next time. The liner has worked for the water feature so far, so I’m not completely reliant upon the foam.
Lol did you say a retic was a "medium-ish" snake😂. Its only one of the top 3 largest species in the world. Even the super dwarfs can exceed 10ft. Given this video is a year old, whatever snake you got already outgrew this tank, which is a shame because it seemed like a lot of work. Or do you not keep large snakes long term? Whats the plan for the next setup if you keep them? Do you have any adult giants already?
So I went to the website and they don't have any pricing on any of the enclosures. So I have to wait for an email to get a price for an enclosure, that's pretty ridiculous in my opinion
Yeah that’s not good.
Try their Amazon page, that’s where I got mine. They have a few different options.
