Рет қаралды 40,891
Hello everyone! I am please to be able to show ya'll how I have been doing and what the Bio Dude has been up to. I give an update on many of your favorite builds I have done in the past and give you guys insights on how each vivarium has progressed and changed.
I cover some new products coming out on thebiodude.com and the Bio Dude Houston. I touch base on new wholesale things as well! Good things are coming and I look forward to continuing to offer the best products for our scaly and slimy critters!

I'm completely sold on these kits, but microfauna is absolutely necessary for animals that have a lot of waste. And thats with the bioshots and springtails. I solved this by putting a container of earthworms into the terrarium and I saw an immediate positive response from the fern and other at risk plant that were at risk due to my heat lamp.

I love Abronia. I got a pair of Gramineas about 2 years ago, they were high in yellow and both died shortly after getting them. I was told they were cb but after doing more research it turns out that yellow coloration is from a specific carotenoid they only have access to in the wild. That is mainly the reason that I have not gotten more..yet.

Love your stuff but you may need to do a quality check with your manufacturer for your lights though. Last 22" I got from you had a defective socket base on it and was installed completely crooked. No way it ever worked because it couldn't make contact with the fixture socket. Hopefully just a single anomaly. Otherwise I love all your products.
