Building a Kenyan Sand Boa Vivarium

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- Today, we create a live-planted, naturalistic Kenyan sand boa vivarium! Using the Zoo Med Cavern Kit, and many other items including all live plants, I think this came out very nicely.

The "oof" at the end has me in tears! Alex, I love how your humor shines through in you editing.
Yeetinhimer
Katie Shumway if oof has you in tears you should reevaluate what you think is funny
@@hellosenorjarnton9193 You need to reevaluate your life if you have to put people who you've never met down about what makes them happy.
Yes
I'm a grown man and I can truly say your passion for reptiles and eye for cinematography inspire me every time you release a video. They just keep getting better and better. Those lo-fi hip hop tracks are soooo chill: This is fantastic content.
Agree 100%
100.1%
💯💯💯
Your sand boa has the best owner and the coolest habitat it could ever ask for. Great work, Alex. 😁
thanks :)
LOOKS AWESOME !!!
Yeah!
Crazy how u watched go herping and now u have millions of subscribers
#foundexoticslair
All the fun ends when you need to clean the tank 😂😂😂😅😄
hes going to have to pull every fucking plant out LOL
It didn't exactly get easier... but still worth it
which reptitemp do you use?
God yeah he doesn't have any sort of decomposer insect. No crivkets, no springtails, no isopods. I know the last two prefer moisture but still
You don't really have to if it's a viv
The end is soooo relaxing
PYRO TOAD yeah
OOF
*o o f*
PYRO TOAD OOF
Alex, I feel like your humor grows every single video!
This was fantastic!! Loved seeing how you set it all up and then watching Ember enjoy the new home.
Literally right before it fell I was thinking “what if the entire background fell off...I’d cry”
I got a 3 month old baby boy two weeks ago, just last night I was thinking about how I could make his tank more interesting. SO. MUCH. INSPIRATION!
Katie Elaine omg took me a minute to realize you were keeping a baby snake not a baby human in a tank lol
I thouggt you had your child in a tank 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol thought replies meant human babies in a military tank
Makes me happy to see thats there's people like you who care so much about their reptiles, keep up the great work.
Ember is just gonna dig those plants up
She's already dug up a few, but keeps the majority in place lol
Dude your vivarium builds are soooo good now like your Ball pythons (sunny) enclosure looks so sick aswell as this one you definitely need to keep making new builds like this for all your reptiles/herps
I love how you left the mistakes in the build in your video! Added personality to the overall shoot and made the build more realistic.
See everything I used to create this build here! kit.com/GoHerping/naturalistic-kenyan-sand-boa-kit
Keep an eye out for future videos, I'll be reviewing a few of the items I used individually soon.
GoHerping, if you're going to make a tank like this then would you say that sand in that matter is okay if you have those 2 substrates???
Absolutely brilliant! I really applaud the effort and creativity you put into these Alex- you’re a really inspirational channel and I’m so glad I found you- your quirky and very entertaining personality and sense of humour mixes perfectly with your great filming and editing skills to create fantastic videos! Thanks so much for sharing all this with us 👍
I could never keep my spanish moss alive in my terrarium. I spray it everyday and my humidity is very high. I collect new ones and in a few weeks its dead.
might be your water to blame
It is likely. I imagine that Spanish moss requires water that is more similar to rain water like reverse osmosis. Plain tap water probably has too much minerals to it.
To much water
I have some fish, and I use the water from their tank from water changes to water my house plants. It's already been filtered and treated for the fish, and the nitrates in it are at a great balance for plants.
My plants love it, and there's no calcium buildup on the topsoil like tapwater usually creates.( ; v ; )
Oh and also, if you had other plants in there, it's possible that they could have overrun the spanish moss. If the water you used had a higher Ph, other plants would flourish from it, to the point of aggressively driving out the spanish moss.
Spanish moss doesn't so much have a preference for Ph than just that other plants don't do well with water in the 5.0 - 5.5 range.
Which just means that with a lower Ph, your spanish moss won't be bullied into submission.. if that was what was going on before.

You've really got a talent. I'm 30 years old and have kept reptiles for years and I am learning some really cool stuff watching your builds. Keep up the great work!
thank you!
Great job on the editing on this video!
Your videos are insanely high quality. Not just the video quality but the effort you put into your videos.
thank you :)
Absolutely a gorgeous vivarium. I wasn't too sure about the sand but the way you did it and designed everything... just awesome! Keep up the great content!
What a beautiful vivarium! And I bet the snake enjoys it too. Thank you, I will do a similar one for my sand boa when I'll finally get one :)
Great video! I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone make a vivarium for one of these guys and it’s awesome!!!
The oof at the end got me. Lol great video!
0:52 them transitions better than microsoft powerpoint
Absolutely stunning. You need more recognition in the TH-cam community!
Those are some gorgeous tillandsias.
Keep up the good work, great editing
Very pretty....will be looking into those products for my new snake next year! Thanks Alex! 😉
Love this video your editing quality has been improving so much lately.
Thanks!
Such a great video! I can't wait to do a build with the excavator clay! It was so clever to use the balloons! I have some great ideas now!
Is it just me or does anyone else get super excited when they see Franklin!
That looks amazing, you did such a good job with the live plants.
The quality of this channel is the best!!!
:D
Ugh. I wish I could like the video 20 more times. Love love love.
Love the ending 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Your animals are so lucky to have you! This was so interesting to watch
Hi Alex, a little tip I learned from a bunch of forums is to actually tape the thermostat probe under the tank, right in between the tank and the UTH using aluminum tape. That way the probe isn’t inside the tank getting moved around or peed on, if the animal pees on it, if can cause the thermostat to over heat. This is also the method my vet suggested. Just a heads up :)
Yo the moment you hit 100K I will be so proud of you
YO OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HEARTING THE COMMMENT THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME! I WISH I COULD HAVE AS MANY REOTILES AS YOU. omg srry im so exited I wuv you goherping. thank you
This channel is so chill. Keep it up man.
Absolutely beautiful build, my heart swelled at the end. Love your editing style and music choice. Truly superb content. Cheers!
I felt the emotion at 2:46. I've been there! 😭😂
i can really tell you love your animals. thank you for sharing this.
that's so cool how much customization you can do to terrariums.
Holy shit, good content.
Those Tillandsias are stunning!
Dope looking vivarium
Beautiful set up! This was really well shot as well! Good job 👍🏼
Your videos are so well put together! I’m never disappointed!
I couldn’t find that new thermostat anywhere!!! Finally found them on EBay of course, got two for a new build I’m doing for my Mexican Kingsnake and Ball Python, they are so much more streamlined than the others on the market. Thanks for the video, you guys deserve way more subs! This videos editing was perfect as usual!
I bet the sand boa loves it!
This is impressive work,nice idea with the cavern kit!!!
I love your channel and the style you film in!
Great work Alex!! Always enjoy watching your videos .. !!
2:19 that sound is so satysfying
Loving the use of tsilandsias
Awesome job, Alex. it looks amazing
Hey, so, to solve the problem with the clay, heres a tip. Take some claybased, non chemical/toxic kitty litter, take it with 1/3 cat litter, 2/3 top soil, then mix together, then add water and you get home made repti-putty! I wanna patent it but it works SO WELL in your tanks, I've used it as a silicone replacement in some tanks when putting bark as a background and I've built an entire waterfall in my garter-snake enclosure out of the stuff, try it out sometime!
That is sick. One of the coolest boss out there! Great job man
The editing and cinematography is so on point 👌🏻
That tank looks beautiful
Showing a friend my sand boa tank
Hmmm yes, that’s some nice sand
Again you proved you are very talented young man. Keep it going, great job.
thanks :)
NP :) I really enjoy your videos, you are most likely not even half my age but would have no problem hanging out with you and treating you like someone my age :)
You’re crazy creative! Love your content
Hey Alex! I just wanted to say I love your channel. Yesterday I got a baby cinnamon BP because of you. Keep up the amazing work! 👍
thank you! great choice
This Video inspired me to do a rebuild on my Leopard Gecko Terrarium with clay. Thank you so much:)
Oh and congratulations to this awsome terrarium build
I'm planning on getting a Kenyan Sand Boa and this enclosure is my inspiration lol
I really love this setup
That is sooo cool!! Im really happy to see ur vids. Thanks for the vidio!
THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
Great enclosure👍
Ive been wanting a sand boa for so much time but no matter how much I try to convince my parents they are completely harmless and cute, it’s still a no
Ayy It’sJoaquin show them videos
Show them the cutest pictures you can find
Zoomed is amazing. They liked an istagram photo I posted and sent me a free water dish to try. Excellent service.
This is so gorgeous. It will definitely be a pain to clean though so best of luck lol. I remember when you were live streaming part of it, it was fun to watch though you were struggling a bit
Perfect voice over!! So talented!!
First, these are my favourite snakes. They are so flipping cute!
MOST SATISFYING VIDEO IN THE WORLD
Yay i can finally have a reference for making a sand boa vivarium
Ayy a heart. Thats more than my father ever gave me
the editing in these videos are getting sOO good omg
oh my god yes the ending !! keep iT uP!
haha thank you!
Best tank i hav ever seen
Should be proud
Just so beautiful 😍 you're very artistic and talented...
Great video 👍
Very beautiful setup
Beautiful setup as well as artistic video as well! Super impressive all around
Thanks!
Amazing video! I’m sure ember is enjoying her new habitat greatly! although this was far from a sad video, I ended up tearing up thinking about Vera. Wish I could have done this for my baby girl. On a happy note keep up the great work!
Further explanation for others: Vera was my baby sand boa that had internal parasites and furthermore led her to starving herself, I euthanized her when I tried everything possible, Rest In Peace.
This was fantastic to watch and I'd absolutely love to this for my little sand boa.....once he grows up, baby is to nervous for anything more then a small tub right now
Happy Noodle!
That’s so pretty and I wish I could do that but my sand boa would dig all of those plants up INSTANTLY 😅
Great setup
I just have to do this, that silicone thing with the foam. Improves a tank so much
Wow, man, You're one hell of an artist❣❣❣❣
Amazing build my friend. The sand makes me nervous, but the whole set up is pretty dope.
Amazing Animal Adventures well most of the sand is only used as a background and instead of actually part of the subtrate and kenyan sand boas are adapted to sand so I think it’s fine so the half sand substrate gives the snake variety to choose from 2 different substrates not to mention he said the snake will be feeding on aspen so like
You are literally me as an adult
Thanks
Wow, you did such a great job keep up the great work! 👍
thanks!
Whenever i use suction cups, i always run them under hot water for a minute or two before sticking them on, they always stay every time I do that!
Well now I feel bad for my KSB better copy you exactly
best video yet
Also if you lick or get the suction cup moist with water,that will increase the amount of suction on the cup
Absolutely brilliant video
thanks!
Dang that tank looks AMAZING
Naroko :D nope
Geckoel nooooo R.I.P.
thanks! lol
Nice video man I will definitely keep up with channel, I really enjoy it(now subscribed)
