That’s awesome use of patio sliding doors. You can see through them. They have large opening and are insulated glass panels so hold temperature and moisture.
Its so good to see Aussie animals getting love. Lace Monitors are one of my favorite reptiles, im always on the look for goannas when I go on bush walks. Awesome enclosure, I bet they will love it.
You did a very good job bro but it’s ok to let them eat naturally meaning live food I feel bad sometimes to but then I remember it’s nothing more natural than them working for they meal but great job on the enclosure 💯
I personally just do dish soap + scrub brush + water (at least for things like Aspen branches). Depending on where you get the wood it's probably unnecessary, but that should take care of most mites, gnats, other small insects, and insecticides. I suppose results may vary if there are cracks that you can't reach. I've heard of people actually sanitizing their wood with a dilute bleach solution. I think Professor Herp and Serpa Design both do this. At least for Serpa Design, this sort of makes sense; he uses a lot of sensitive plants that won't get cleaned by rain, so a single aphid getting through could be pretty devastating. However, as Jakob Herning said, there's probably no need for an enclosure like this. Unless something like a bird with bird flu pooped on the wood in the past couple of days or there were some poisonous mushrooms growing on the wood, there's really no reason to truly kill everything, IMHO.
@@aguyfromalabama I've wanted to do exactly something like this! There isn't many videos on YT. But I think mine will be for Varanids. And maybe some other species that won't bother each other. Where is this, basement? Warehouse?
@@liamsanjose5112 the substrate is made of leaf litter, sand, top soil, and coco coir. All of the except the coco came from natural sources and keep the small bugs that break down the poop. Typically I don’t even see the poop. And there is no smell at all!
@@reapersexotics1129 in general, when you have a bioactive enclosure, the bugs are just happy to stay where they are. They're tiny so they find it easy to escape but they don't. One or two might eventually make their way out but you will never have a big breeding colony of something that you don't want. Their food and they're hiding places are all inside the enclosure

Wow I didn’t know that they get that huge! Great information and awesome job on their enclosure. They are definitely enjoying their new home.
What a fantastic enclosure! Lots of great space I love it!
Beautiful enclosure! Congratulations
Fantastic job!
Absolutely amazing job man 👌
looks awesome man, glad you finally got it done, maybe get some relaxation in now, maybe? lol.
This needs way more attention bro this unreal
Sweet setup. Need an update!
Pretty dope man.
This is so cool! I keep Lace in WA. Please keep documenting.
What part of WA?
@@richardbinkley8487 South West, like 45 min North of Portland
@@donna7243 nice, I'm in Oly. I'm guessing you have to keep them indoors all year?
Incredible
Dudeeeeee that's epic
Looks great man, how old are your lizards?
🔥
I wonder if this enclosure is sufficient for a single adult lace monitor
I love a terra is beautiful. My terra dream
I take it that this is a bioactive habitat? Curious
dude sick!!! im doing this.waking up to that everyday awesome👍👍

YESSSSSSSSSSESS
HOLLOW LOGGGGGGGGS
I have a question how did you sanitized all the wood ?
I didn’t. There’s no need to sanitize the wood.
If I get my wood from outside I normally sanitize it so the wood doesn't have any pests or harmful things.

How much did this cost?!
I have about 4K in the enclosure. Lace monitors go for 3500 each.

Do you have to change the whole substrate when cleaning
No it’s bio active. I just turn it ever so often.
@@aguyfromalabama what makes it bio active and won’t the shit build up and make it Smell horrible after awhile

@@aguyfromalabama do the bugs ever get out of the enclosure and if so are they a risk to being invasive?

Just commenting again for the algorithm
You are awesome!! Thank you!!
@@aguyfromalabama How are they liking all the space ?
@@krazylacrosse19 so far so good man! They seem to love it!
