  • Although we're not using this bioactive Crested gecko setup with a waterfall for a crested gecko when infact were using this as a bioactive mourning gecko setup this bioactive setup can still be used for crested geckos. We show how to make a bioactive terrarium with a waterfall that could be used for crested geckos. We are going to be using this for our mourning gecko colony . This is a complete guide to building a tropical bioactive setup from scratch . Start to finish everything you need to know. How to make a waterfall is in this video along with loads more hints and tips on how to make a bioactive setup with a waterfall.
    We use an exo terra terrarium for the enclosure

    Thanks for this. I bought a terrarium the same dimensions that would eventually house 2 to 3 dart frogs. I live in an older house that stays around 61 to 65°F or between 16 to 18°C in the winter time. I wanted to get supplemental heat and I thought a heating pad would be too obstructive so an aquarium heater would do the trick in the drainage layer so I decided I wanted to make a little waterfall/pond area and get a species that didn’t mind a water feature. This gives me great ideas!

    I just found a free 55gal aquarium on the side of the road and want to turn it into a terrarium and get a few female crested geckos. I’m glad this is the first video I watched, I’m feeling daunted but excited to start this project!

    Wow that was crazy! My daughter wants to do something like this for her gecko. If you’ve ever seen a baking show on Netflix called “Nailed It” that pretty much sums up what I think our version would look like compared to yours. A total disaster. But you definitely make it look possible so maybe one day we will try doing it without the water feature and the fogger. Thanks for sharing!

      ​@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Well it looks good. Mine was too complicated involving expanding foam and cork bark and a series of pools and a pebble wall..... every adjustment led to another leak/flaw/etc being revealed finally I just called it a day and put plants in all the "pools" My Crested Gecko trampled them all to death and/or dug them out lol. In the end I ripped the whole lot out (after a year). Oh boy was that a job and a half!!. I built it all to stay put and it didn't want to come out. Now its very simple she has Her Rubber Plant and a couple more live plants and some cork bark and rocks (all able to be removed if needed). A plain flat coco fibre back ground and bioactive substrate.
      My Male Crestie has the same setup but a slightly more elaborate . He has coconut hides (home made). He is an acrobat and has destroyed all his ground level plants bar one. He has a big Dracanea in the centre and some fake plants too and two rock pools.

    Have you tried water with vinegar for the calcium deposits? just have to rinse it a few times after to make sure you don't leave any vinegar behind.
    I'm new to this stuff tho but I know vinegar works wonders for calcium deposits. Just watch out with ceramics
    Oh yea. Building a terrarium for my miniature orchids. Excited about it and thinking of adding such a build to it. I have access to a little aquarium pump so that's neat too!

    This looks amazing! And a perfect timing, too - I will be making a bioactive setup for my crestie in a couple of weeks.
    If you want to make cleaning of the glass a bit easier, spray it thoroughly with vinegar/ lime juice + water and let it sit for a few minutes. The acid will dissolve the limescale, so you won't need to use the scraper. You may have to repeat the process if the buildup is bad.
    Also - learn from my mistakes: if you are using aquarium silicone with acetoxy cure (smells of vinegar), you want to work outside, or in a REALLY well-ventilated room. Otherwise the fumes will burn your throat, and you will be croaking like a bloody frog for a week.

We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus Is Lord and Believe with our hearts that He Was Risen from the dead, By God, and we must Be Baptized In The Name Of The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and Live By His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!

      La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo Pagó nuestra deuda en la Cruz para nuestra Salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús Es El Señor y Creer con nuestro corazón Que Fue Resucitado de entre los muertos Por Dios, y debemos De Ser Bautizados En El nombre Del Padre, Del Hijo y Del Espíritu Santo y Vivir Por Su Palabra y Mandamientos! Confía que Dios Ayudara con El Resto!

When I do mine if I don’t want to take mine around the sides , but I just want to make a ledge or two and put a couple plants on the side can I just do that on the sides. I just want to do a back background, but when I seen how you did yours I got that ideal . So that’s my question. Your is petty awesome!
