The new Bill Nye the science guy! Great video Clint, you provided very easy instructions so this project isn't so daunting for us!
w/o the left wing garbage
Bill Nye wears a bowtie for the same reason that Clint always tucks his in. Maybe Clint should make the switch!
@@420spacecowboy Left wing garbage? I think you mean factual science. Stay mad.
@@Jimins__Pookie what was the guy talking about?
@@entity107 Yeesh, this was a year ago, I forgot, sorry. Him being mad that Bill Nye supports trans people is my best guess but
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He keeps reminding people of their ties, like ties are the default for people who would construct enclosures.😄 Never change, Clint.
Are they not?? 👔
Ties are very important
Do you still need to do this if your tie is actually _made_ from expanding foam?
Uh, asking for a friend.
@@hjalfi hahahaha thank you for the laugh!
You must dress for the occasion, you don't want your regular clothes to get dirty.
What a great way to start the day. Drinking coffee, and watching the most positive reptile youtuber in existence. Thanks, man.
You're so welcome!
No offence Clint but I think the most positive reptile owner is snake discovery
@@terrariatips818 I love Emily and her channel very very much! Buuut I still this Clint has this one. His enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. I think they are very nearly tied, but Clint is just a haaair ahead.
I still can't believe that there's no Clint's Reptiles themed ties.
WE DEMAND MERCH TIES
It is a shocking oversight...
Yes we do !
As someone who collects and wears ties on a daily basis, I agree, MERCH TIES!
Gus Gus pattern would make a cool tie design 😎
Merch ties would be stinking rad.
Hey Clint, you probably heard this a number of times already but the positivity in your videos is so great for getting back into a good mood after a stressful day of work. I'm really thankful for your work on TH-cam. You can clearly tell how much you love what you're doing. You being as authentic as you are is always a pleasure to watch.
I will totally build a paludarium in the future. I hope i can either get this kit sent to germany or find something similar here.
"You have eleven minutes until you die" Clint 2021
Just casually says that and then moves on lmao
Undoubtedly the best reptile and amphibian TH-camr, and arguably the best pet TH-camr. And possibly the most under rated TH-camr!
Pewdiepie is the most underrated
A tip for using the silicone. If you’re trying to get a lot out for doing a background as apposed to a fine bead, if you cut the spout closer to you it will be easier to get a substantial amount out.
Great that you showed that things don’t necessarily work out first time. Looks great at the end!
Thanks for this tip!
This.....almost makes me want to wear a tie just so I can tuck it next time I do a build. Thanks Clint! You make me and my mom (who is actually a soon to be retired Biology teacher) proud :)
Oh yeah, adding the sphagnum moss and substituting the sand for gravel was definitely a better option. It looks AMAZING!
This is one of the most beautiful paludarium I've ever seen! 😁
I've always wanted a paludarium. They can be gorgeous.
For once I’m early, thank you for the enjoyable calm start to my morning
I'm so glad you could be here!
I love your profile picture
I love that You let us see the "mistakes". 💜
Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes so you don't have to make them yourself.
@@ClintsReptiles Excactly my point! 👍
I think is just what I needed this morning 🥰👍 You have a uvb lamp there, I wonder what the creature is.
Any guesses??
@@ClintsReptiles its a miniaturized temnospondyl of some kind.
@@ClintsReptiles I think maybe a dart frog
@@ClintsReptiles poison dart frog???
Yellow Spotted Climbing Toad? Mossy Frogs?
I've just been thinking of building one of these, perfect timing!
We've been monitoring your activities.
@@ClintsReptiles With an ackie?
Of course!
How fun! My baby woke me up early and I got to start the day with a fun cage build. :) Lovely new frogs!
Thanks for keeping our ties safe Clint!
Love the content. I have been making enclosures like this for a while now. I have found that the expanding foam doesn't adhere well to smooth surfaces like glass or acrylic. The best way to prevent the foam from pulling away from the sides is to lay down a thin layer of silicone and spray the foam while the silicone is still wet
I'd love to see a video on keeping pet clams and/or oysters.
Those little reed frogs are Awesome RAD!!! Love the set up!
I actually bought this paludarium and most of the other stuff a couple of months ago. But I just couldn’t get past the planning stage. Thank you for making this video and giving me some confidence and an idea of what it could look like! I am super excited to begin now!
You know someone on youtube's a dad when they have a multi-tool.
This one is the best!!!
I have a multitool and no children. If I make a YT channel, is that how I become a father?
@@Tink00 You will have many babies
multitools are literally the dadliest tools in the known universe, they're almost as versatile as a real dad
😂😂
It's so important to be flexible and know how to maneuver around accidents and setbacks. Flawless!
I just set up my own paludarium for my starry night reed frogs, also from Josh's. Now I'm envious. I need to get them into a larger tank, and use less of a substrate base, more of a water base, like you did. I wanted the soil for additional plants/filtration, but now I'm second-guessing that.
Great job!
Since TH-camrs rarely comment after the first bit that they release a video, and you seem to be someone to ask. Are these good beginner frogs? How about dart frogs? I know someone that wants to get little frogs, she mentioned dart frogs once I said that domestically bred darts have little to no poison since it's assumed to be mostly if not all attributed to their diet in the wild. Has Clint ever done a video on whether the darts or the SNR frogs are good pets, to your knowledge?
@@amandastakeonit7402 I'm unaware if he's done a video. I can say Darts are easy and enjoyable pets, without hesitation. Feeding often and building a proper setup can be tricky, but if you do your research? Gold. Reed frogs are like a mix between
tree frogs and dart frogs. They want a little of everything. So long as you can secure small feeder insects, and a proper (high humidity) setup with regular mistings I find them incredibly enjoyable.
Of my Pixie, Pacman, darts, and reed, I enjoy the reeds the most to be honest. They are relaxing, their call is relaxing, and they are just beautiful little guys.
Sorry, just realized I didn't really answer your question.
I would say starry night reed frogs are good beginner frogs, provided you are familiar with how to set up a tank and keep humidity. Just beware their tiny size making escape a constant danger.
About 15 or so years ago I built a 2' x 2' x 4' enclosure with complete 2' x 4'waterfall. Used PVC piping, great stuff,and metal screening,paint and aquarium sealant to seal the waterfall from top to bottom. The one side was the waterfall 2' x 4' with a reservoir at the bottom and sand box for Halloween crabs on the bottom. It was for my chameleon. Really fun to build, Cost about 250 to build. Top opened as well as 2' of the front.
that expanding foam looks delicious. the forbidden whipped cream
What a fun build and those mystery creatures are so cute. Might need to get some.
Whenever I see a new Clint’s reptiles video, I click on it without even reading the title.
You should do more of these, and help people with setting up a enclosure
Love me some enclosure builds.
Man I am loving these unannounced bonus Wednesday videos!!! Nothing like some stinkin rad videos to help get me over hump day.
It does make the week seem shorter :)
Clint: Remember to tuck you tie!
Colin Furze: Pardon me?
I genuinely like the tie you are wearing.
hmm, nobody told me being a biologist means you need to be something of an artist as well.
It doesn't hurt :)
hahahaha lol thank you for the laugh!
I find a battery powered leaf blower on the lowest setting is a good way to get rid of that excess substrate from the back . Do make sure it is on the lowest setting though . I recommend the Black & Decker which has a setting availability between six and one instead of just high and low .
Appreciate you showing everything even mistakes, very helpful
The final product looks amazing! 👏
These are really cool looking frogs! I've never heard of this particular species before, always exciting to see something new!
Nice. I'm starting to want frogs
It’s always a pleasant surprise when you upload in the week!
😁
Hands down agree that Josh's frogs is great. Been buying front them for years. Always great service and everything is always alive and healthy. Even the crickets. Side note, using vinegar as a cleaning of the tank before hand I have never had problems with foam coming off in high humidity enclosures. May help in future goes.
Beautiful build.
I found with the expanding foam, when ur done with it if u hold it upright and spray a blast of air to clean the straw out then u can cut off a piece of the straw to reuse the rest of it down the road.
Your enclosure build videos are so good 😍 perfect start to the day
They are amazing!! Enjoy those beauties and lovely enclosure for them.
Thank you!
Probably one of my favourite videos ever!!!! Id love to see you do this, on a larger scale. It would also be so rad, if you would make an arid setup (fx for a beardie or an uromastyx). Love what you are doing;-D
I love the build videos! It's so interesting to see how different enclosures are set up.
They are beautiful!
You are very awesome 😎. I love that you let us see you put stuff together awesome.
I've found that it really helps to push it down really hard and almost rub it into the silicone.
Dry lok and cement liquid color is the best background options! Tried and true. Troy Goldberg on TH-cam is the OG of this method. Love your content 🥰
Yeah I just made my 1st custom background for my T and yes, u have to lay the silicone on very thick then press it all in. I used an entire tube of silicone on a 10 gallon tank sized background and that was also with me going around many rocks I used. Just to give u an idea of how much you, or anyone needs. I also went thru an entire can of great stuff. Another tip... I built it all OUTSIDE of the tank, applying it to the correct measurement Styrofoam sheet that can then be siliconed to the back of enclosure when finished. This allowed me to make it 3D and avoid the ugly exposed sides of the layers showing thru the glass & all anyone can see on the back is the black backside of the Styrofoam sheet I used. I'm actually really proud of myself for my 1st attempt. I wanted it to look just like an exposed creekside bank, I used pieces of wild grapevine to look like exposed tree roots.
I love making exoterra waterfall tanks.
It is fun!
Great video! Would've loved some more frog footage though along with a few species related facts maybe
A video on them will be coming soon.
Hello Clint, just recently found your channel and I am totally enjoying it.
I've looked at those exos before, I've built a small paludarium for my frogs out of a cheap fish tank before and I have plenty of experience with pumps and filters from my aquascaping and I have even built my own ultrasonic fogger for my frogs using a container and an air pump. Thank you for doing this video, I might use some of these techniques to set up a new paludarium so I can get myself some adorable whites tree frogs
Omg those new little friends are so beautiful 😍
Good job on the tank! It looks fantastic 😊
Can't wait for the video on these little guys. They look so pretty!
Full collection tour please!
...if so please forewarn before showing the spiders!
cant believe i missed this upload, was thinking of doing the same thing once i learn my 3d printer more. gonna print out the structure for lil river and waterfall. great vid.
I woke up got some coffee started to watch my favorite youtuber make my favorite kind of terrarium im having a very nice start to my day
Gorgeous tank!
Thank you!
I’m so glad I found this channel and ways to build tanks. I would have never thought about lightings and features other than substrate/water/rocks. My son loves lizards and reptiles for some reason (probably bc he loves dinosaurs). I’m a dog lover so this is all new to me.
This set up would look amazing with some small Lilly pads or Duckweed
Just ordered from Josh's frogs for the first time yesterday. Because of your recommendation in the past
Emily at Snake Discovery has protips on the purigen re-use
I KNEW IT! I LOVE THOSE FROGS! SO CUTE! I've wanted them for ages!
I wonder if you could paint the glass black prior to putting the foam/gorilla glue on, then after finishing the background you could scrape excess paint off the back.
I lost a baby albino kingsnake to those holes in the lid of an exo terra, good on you for catching them!
It helps to build the scape on foamboard and then gluing the foamboard to the back of the tank once you're done. It's less messier.
When I built my most recent paludarium a couple of years ago, I stuck a piece of PVC pipe in the corner to run my pumps power cord through and then covered that and the background with expanding foam. I made a plug to go inside the pipe and match the background in order to prevent anything from getting inside the pipe (PVC Diameter only has to be big enough to retract the power cord through). Should you have a pump failure, It makes switching out pumps 100x easier. And everything is still hidden by the foam. I learned the hard way when the pump on one of my Paludariums had an internal failure and I had to tear out a large section of the background to get it out and the new one installed.
hello great video Clint
Electrician's tip for silicon, if you use moisture on your finger before spreading it, it doesn't stick anywhere near as badly
PURIGEN is amazing. You can recharge it. It really works well. I used it for CO2 injected planted tanks. I used to double the advised amount though. Love the end result
Using the greatstuff for ponds helps with the look because its black and blends better with peat moss
Please do a Starry Night Reed frog vs Poison frog video!!!!! I'm debating ...☀️💜💜☀️✝️
Love your videos & love Josh’s Frogs!
So I've been wondering this for a while but haven't seen anyone discuss it - when people place live plants in those small holes, what happens when the plant grows? At a certain point won't there not be enough soil/space for its root system and growth? I'd be so appreciative of your advice! Loved watching this :)
Clint: Remember to tuck your tie.
Me (who owns exactly one tie and wore it once during the past 10 years): I'm gonna tuck my tie.
This turned out beautiful, Clint! We've been wanting to do a paludarium, but so far we only keep dart frogs, which can't swim and would drown.
What other frogs do you think would work for this kind of set up?
Looks fantastic mate 😃
I noticed that little Sheldon Cooper quote
Recently setup a paludarium for some vampire crabs. Theyre pretty awesome
These enclosure build videos are STINKIN' RAD!!!!
Please make more of these totally bodacious videos!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them. Well keep 'em coming :)
duuuude, i love your energy!
i'm more of an aquarium guy, but i'm watching anyways!
The enclosure is beautiful! I am also dumb I somehow didn’t notice the frogs were even in the video. I walked away for about a second.
This guy is like the Bob Ross of critters and enclosures
When Clint teach us the importance of making a waterfall,and you loke the video cause it's awesome and you like his channel:
Cause i do.
Thank you!
Your welcone as always
Yay a new video never heard of a paludarium but Still looks cool!!🐍🐸🐸
This Video is amazing. I love another channel, go herping, I'm going to link this video in the comments on his thread about a failed reptile enclosure. Thank you so much. Your channel is a dream for a new reptile owner.
Hi love the vids really love the vids where you build the enclosures and overall lave the channel keep up the amazing work
Just wanna say, I love his tie so much.
....all of 'em!
Great video! You should add some weeping it pilo moss to the waterfall though, buces too. It would be neat to turn the waterfall into a garden of aquatic plants.
For filling those gaps in an Exo Terra I prefer to use hot glue. I kept jumping spiders in a micro cage, and found the same issue as you did with escaping. Hot glue was the solution I fell in love with because you can pull it off later, but any animal small enough to use the gaps won't be strong enough to budge it. I've since used that enclosure for a few other setups, and have added and removed the hot glue as needed- looks like the day I bought it. Make sure to use a low temp glue and gun, and I recommend using colored glue if you're worried about it looking ugly. I used black hot glue one time and it looked like it was part of the lid after I smoothed it.
I just did a similar thing for my Gargoyle Gecko enclosure. For the silicone I found using Mineral Spirits to thin down the silicone helped tremendously. It became a paint-like consistency and I just pained on the silicone then spread the substrate over it. Lots of fumes though so make sure you have ventilation.
Cool build
Can we get more enclosure videos please? I love the creative planning and getting ideas for my ideal enclosure for future reptiles.... once my wife let's me get another
awesome Clint!
Good build. I’d recommend Aqua Forte landscaping foam instead though because it comes out of the can black. This might not sound a big deal but the white foam used here up against the glass on the sides is quite visually jarring and would drive me nuts.
This was an EXPERIENCE to watch 😂 loved it though
