These leap enclosures are a pretty cool idea. At one point I had 17 species of dart frogs. Most were housed in 20 gallon aquariums with custom glass lids drilled for spray nozzles. I also had 4, 10 gallon tanks converted to vertical enclosures and one 75 gallon tank partitioned down the middle. The 20 and 10 gallon tanks were on bakers racks and due to their weight the shelves needed additional support which meant adding plywood. The opposite side of the room was 20 crested geckos housed in 20 gallon tanks turned on end with window screens doors on the front. Unfortunately I sold my house and everything had to go. But I have the itch again and these Leap Habitats are on the list of potential enclosures. Thanks for the great videos! Cheers, Greg
Great video, I’d like to see more info on the various Pygmy chameleon Species( both Brookesia and Rhampoleon) and how They could be kept in these Enclosures .
Very sweet, those cages are slick. Have you tried them with williamsi? Do they find their way between the front mesh and flexible plastic substrate container?
I can personally attest that my mourning geckos find their way in between the mesh and substrate container. It's not something I'm overly concerned about since they can get back into the main enclosure whenever they feel like it and it honestly makes it easier to check on them and see how they are doing. Not something I particularly want them doing though 🤣
Getting excited for the release! Been waiting to get a new misting system, may have to pull the trigger soon. Where did you get the polypropylene to cover the screen? I could use something like that. Thanks!
Do you need to make any modifications to keep enclosure fly proof? I'm thinking about buying one as an upgrade for a group of ranitomeya but I'm worried that flies might easily escape.
The only openings are the screen top and front panel. Melanogaaster could pass through the screen but not hydei. You could cover the screen with plastic/glass or fly proof screen if.
Melanogaster can crawl through the gaps in the screen but there are no gaps or crevices they can escape from such as in exo terra/zoo med/zilla enclosures.

Fantastic Frank! I'd love to see some other species being kept in the leap habitats. Excited to give them a try someday.
Thank you! They should be available very soon!
Such a tease with the Leap habitats 😆 can’t wait to get mine!
Should be very soon!
truly a subject matter expert and well spoken
Thank you!
Very cool! Would love to see how you care for and raise the babies plus more footage of the animals in the videos.
Great video, i just dove into the world of dart frogs about a moth ago :)
Thank you! A great transition from reefs. :)
@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne Best of both worlds!
Nice vid, you always do a good job.
Thank you!
Loving all your videos :)
Thank you!
Great video, very informative!
Thank you!
First amphibian video!
Love your Videos so much with so much great knowledge
Thank you!
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching. :)

YES! Not sure this is something Frank has worked with, but I'd love to hear more thoughts on this.
Great quality on this channel, keep it up! :D
Thank you!

Adults don’t but babies would.
Fancy seeing Alec here!

I got it directly from Leap. Hopefully they will be providing that as an option to purchase soon!
Great info. 😊
Thank you!
Great video again frank thanks ,whens the breeding and raising young coming up ? Have you done a video on your pectinata yet ?
Thanks! I am waiting on my new pectinata enclosure before doing a video on them. Hopefully soon!
When will the leap habitat be launched
Very soon!

Where do you get the plastic that goes on top of the screen? I need to do the same with my dart frog enclosure to keep the humidity.
Home Depot or lowes will have some. Leap will also be making a fitted accessory for that as well.
@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne really hope they make this accessory available soon!
Are fruit flies able to escape this enclosure?
Melanogaster can crawl through the gaps in the screen but there are no gaps or crevices they can escape from such as in exo terra/zoo med/zilla enclosures.
