Back at it again, with the second installment of the Crested Gecko vivarium builds. In this video I show you how I set up Delilah's new naturalistic/bioactive vivarium, in a time lapse format. Since I explained everything thoroughly for Henry's, I didn't want the videos to be redundant, so I made a time lapse. What do you think of having a format like this? I could do time lapse builds from time to time, so that I don't keep explaining the same stuff over and over again.

With all of that in mind, I don't actually explain anything about this build in the video. If you are looking to know exactly what I'm doing in this video, then please watch this video:    • Naturalistic + Bioactive Crested Geck...  

There will be two more videos in this series, but they won't be published for at least another month. As I said in the previous video, we are going to let these vivariums sit for a little bit and become established, prior to adding the geckos.

If your wondering what tank this is, it's a DIY plywood enclosure that I made myself. If you want to learn how I made it, check out this link:    • DIY Plywood Reptile Enclosure (Small ...
