I’m so glad I found you from my son following Ants Canada. You are really charismatic and entertaining to watch. RJ is a cutie and your house and animals are adorable ❤ love from Australia

Love that Melody watches you set up the pond

Your videos are not just entertaining, but it’s also informative! I feel like I’m watching an educational channel at the same time. Learning a lot about plants, animals, insects, and eco-friendly things. Thank you 💙

With the size of your pond, your filtration system wont be enough. Add a pump to push the water towards the water intake to bring the debris in one place and help circulate the water. Airator in the middle will also help.

That baby cobra probably just recently left the place where its mother laid her eggs. It must have been looking for small frogs ans small lizards when it strayed into your yard. I would suggest that you purchase some Snake Tongs and Snake Hooks to help handle any snakes straying into your yard in the future, specifically the long ones that are used by herpetologists in the field. Face shields would probable be a good addition as well if ever an adult cobra is encountered in case it spits venom in defense. Also, the pond's looking good. It looks pretty natural now. Maybe a few more logs would make it look even better as well and could probably help with breaking up the square-ness of the pond's edge, especially if the logs get positioned near the walls of the pond and could also provide additional shelter for the aquatic life. I'm actually taking some cues from your pond for the time when I revitalize the turtle pond; kept getting delayed in doing it because it keeps raining a lot. The guppies will eventually multiply as guppies often do, and the turtles would probably find it hard to control the population once it explodes, so maybe when that time comes will also be time to add some mid-sized predatory fish that can pick off some of the fry; I suggest Three-spot Gourami for starters. This species of gourami is one of the more common ones in the pet trade. They are silvery in color and have three spots on their side and can get to 6 inches.

I remember your aquascaping during pandemic times.....You have truly taken that to the next level with the pond! It is really a happy place on the Mabuhay Farm.🐌🦎🐢🐟

Wow. Mikey and R.j.! Be careful, stay away at the snake! Be safe!

Hi Mikey and RJ i love this vlog esp when you arrange the pond with new plants and fish,i like the arrangement of RJ with new plants in the old rubber tree and the air plants in your living area.Goodluck and God bless your concert tour.I can't wait to see both of you at Toronto Canada in your family homes.ingat🙏🌻🌷💞

Hi Mikey! I think you should also start to consider having a quick snake handling seminars as a refresher. I know that you have experience in handling snakes in the past but it may be helpful to also have you and rj and the full mabuhay farm staff to have a general idea of native snake species and proper handling. I think Wildlife Matters have seminars (I think you guys have met before?) Ingat Mikey! If there's baby cobras there'll be mama cobra!

Cabomba is super invasive. Also Egeria. They might not be such great choices for your pond, especially if overflow would be to your waterway behind the property.

Love how your pond is looking! So lush and can’t wait to find out if Turbo does lay some eggs! You and RJ would be Grandparents. 🎉 heh Safe travels Mikey & RJ. I hope you bave an amazing trip to, “The Land Down Under”! Sending you so much love and positive vibes from across the Globe in the US State of Montana. ✨💖✨

I just love your house ! Everything is just perfect , almost minimalist and without any clutter! And definitely the best feature is the outdoor pool….. the water looks so inviting day or night! If that’s my house - ill be in that pool all the time day in and day out , night in and night out !😂 lovely home ! And on top of that cute animals all around ! Jungle in the backdrop , what more can you ask for right ?! Such a blessing , take care on your way to Australia, have a safe flight ✈️ God Bless you both Mikey and RJ 🙏

Safe travels to you both! The pond is looking amazing! Can’t wait to see it grown in! Your videos bring me lots of joy! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I think your pond is my favorite feature on your property. It is amazing already and can't wait to watch it grow and mature.

Long time I haven't seen you at Cartimar I was just thinking about it the other day. Wow I made it to your latest vlog but I won't be able to finish it in one watch. 👍🏻😷👍🏿🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇲

I love 💕 those plants in the pond. I was just curious about the pot size. Wondering when they need to be changed for bigger pots. I know waterlilies need to be put in larger pots so they can continue to expand. Glad you discovered that cobra under the right conditions so that it could be moved safely. Safe travels to you 🙏🏽

I live in East Texas on a lake. I love walking the beach every morning, looking for lake treasures. Plus the grandkids love that our backyard is the lake, because all they want to do is swim.

Hey Mikey!! I suggest utilizing the creek to avoid snakes entering your residence. Just make a water pool on the creek, build a "beaver dam" it's very easy to make. The wild animals came in because of the water features, by providing the water pool outside your fence will help these creatures as well specially monitor lizards. This mini pool will add a great scenery on your viewing deck.

Hello Mikey. Emily and Ed at Snake Discovery use regular polyester stuffing instead of filter floss. It's stuffing for stuffed animals, pillows, etc. Much, much cheaper than filter floss. : )

This kind of content is why I'm glad YT exists.

I love your vlog Mikey. It’s so positive that makes my day better every time I watch you. Continue to bring positive vibes to people . Love you 🥰

Looking forward to the Sydney, Canada and NY vlogs 💖 love the pond!!

Yay!! So excited for Ausie vibes, can’t wait to hear Mikey play his song whilst on the plane

Great to see the progress to the new outdoor aviary and the pond! Your goodbyes to Sahara and Cypher, I was telling myself you're going to miss them terribly. Excited for the Sydney vlogs! Always take care RJ and Mikey. ❤

im so invested with the pond updates... :) looking great

Find someone with an established pond and get some filter material already seeded with bacteria. Fish waste is mostly ammonia which isn't good for your water friends. First step is to convert to nitrite, which then can be converted to nitrates which the aquatic plants can extract from the water. Both conversion steps require different species of bacteria which are equally important to the aquatic nitrate cycle.

Manifesting that I bump into you in Sydney 😂 Hope you have a meet and greet near the city. 😊

Hi Mikey. I just visited our farm in Laguna and your vlogs really inspire me to turn it to an animal sanctuary too. But it has to wait as I'm about to leave the country in a few days.

Take it with you na ..so cute nd prang loving siya👏👏👍

Im happy to see vlogger like you, such nature lover... keep up the good things mikey, watching here from dubai

The pond is looking FANTASTIC! Once it's all grown in its going to be unrecognisable! I hope you have a fun trip to Australia! I'm kind of sad because husband and I decided at the start of the year we wanted to go on a Australian holiday around this time of year, but life happend and we weren't able. But it would of been so fortunate if it had worked out. But hopefully one day you'll be in this neck of the woods again at some point (I'm in NZ) and I'll get the chance to see you preform live! But as it is I can't wait to see your vlog down under!

Love this episode! A lot of plants! also I love the update on the new aviary

I ❤your videos and you are usually so conscientious of animals but if you have what is basically a water trap for animals you need to have good escape routes. Until you build something permanent put wide plank that any animals can easily get out. Safety is more important than looks. I see towards end you placed logs so please make sure they don’t float away again. Your videos so relaxing and beautiful until I see your pond without escape. Very glad something in place. You are awesome and hope you have a great trip!

Big bato and ponds oh my the snakes love it! Be careful

Hi Mikey and RJ. Hope to meet you guys one day. Been following you for so many years now! Amazing house in and out. Enjoy!

Pond is looking amazing!

the pond is looking so great!! maybe some places for the crayfish to hide in would be lovely for them!! hope to catch the turtles basking ❤ and cant wait for more aviary content!!!

8:57 RJ's reaction is the best! 😆

Magnus is a gorgeous iguana! It seems like his beautiful color has intensified. He needs friends, I think!❤❤

Love the pond!!! ❤

It's a baby - juvenile Philippine cobra (Naja philippinensis). One bite from that snake you only have 30 minutes to live and yes they spit venom from about 1 meter (max). So be careful.

If you're planning to put more fishes in the outdoor pond&having it near naturally clear/clean water quality, maybe put a vacuumed vertical acrylic cylinder for the fishes to look out of above the surface of the pond.

Ok. Got my dose of positive vibes today. Looking forward for the next vlog. ☺️

I’m your avid fan from Bohol, Phillippines .. I love your farm house , being an animal lover & close to nature is so impressive that’s why you are so blessed 38:34 . I also admire your personality. Keep safe & healthy so with RJ 🥰❤️ Mabuhay!

RJ is most gud collaboration to Mikey And stay more loving forever nice

Yes, I too think a few fowls on the farm side lot would help deter snake intrusions. Now, what about giant man-eating pythons? 🐉

I really respect how much you care about your animals. I can see the dedication to making sure they are as happy and healthy as possible. Love your videos, love from Jardines parrot father

Another vlog, yehey! Done watching. ✅ I'm so excited to be in Sydney with you (virtually). I mean, I've never been out of Philippines, so I'll just watch your vlogs to experience life abroad. I will miss the everyday life at the mabuhay squad farm house. I really felt like I'm living there with you, haha.

That was another very interesting video, thank you for that 🙏 Are you perhaps coming to Germany, to Münsterland? That would be fantastic, then I would be there. Unfortunately I can't travel far and that's where I live. You and R.J. all the best 🥰

May God bless you and your family. Keep working hard as always.

At 25:22 I bought my nana the plant on the that’s on the right in the pot. The red and green. She’s had it for at least a year now and it has grown. You can’t see the top. Your pond is going to look very cool once it’s finished. Hi from NZ.

So much exciting news :) :) :)

Love your pool love your pond! LETS GOOOO PHILIPPINES!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mikey, you need sands for the Turtle to lay her eggs. That's what they do when they lay their eggs and hatch them under the sands. You have a very nice-looking natural pond now. It's a lovely place to watch the living creatures swim around and to look at the plants growing around the pond. I'm so scared of the Cobra or other venomous snakes that live in your forested farm. You are a nature lover, and all things living are present in your tropical forest. Good luck and be safe all of you.❤❤❤

Pond’s looking all pretty.❤ …and that snake!!!!!🐍

The ponds done much better. Didn't see all the pets, use gonna miss them all. Have a safe flight to Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺. I haven't been back for along time, and i have a lot of family over there too. A lot of different food there, you have to try Vegemite it's a spread for toast etc. Thanks again take care the both of use till the Vlog 👍🏽🙏🏽😊...

Hey Mikey, When will you be coming to the uk… I would definitely be there to see you both ❤

Ganyan talaga yan idol mikey pag may bayawak meron din cobra na kasama

Thank you po for giving me ideas for my new pond, Have a good day always 😊

Omg! You're so brave!!!

Would love to see cichlids in that pond. A school of bright orange Oscars and parrot cichlids would definitely add more life to the pond. Oh and some archerfish too

Marsh plant don’t like to be over 12” deep. They might grow but will not do their best. The palms also. Lilly’s like it about 36” you can put two stacks of rock and and big rock across to make a higher shelf for plants and a safe place for the fish

Melody is more beautiful now, she gained more weight. You are a good pet lover🐕🐈🦎🐢🐦🐑 God Bless u & RJ🙏❤️

Your pond looks amazing! Have fun in Australia

Maybe the work going on on the side plot disturbed the snake. I live in Melbourne, enjoy Sydney. Maybe try Belmain Bugs/Morton Bay Bugs to eat. Indigenous food or Kangaroo. Sydney has some famous restaurants.

I love the pond and the waterfalls

You shold make some bridges in the pond so u can stand in the middle to feed fish.

Make sure u hit up the sydney beaches mikey and rj!! Its gonna be a hot weekend... ❤❤

Those water plants made a big difference. Pond looks very natural now 👍

woow your home is beautiful, the pond is going to be a home for happy fish

Safe travels mikey n Rj.

Mikey and RJ safe flight .❤

Add. Fresh water crayfish in the pond. It would be a nice habitat especially if you have hiding spots in the pond.

Why do I love your videos soooo much???!? Oh! It’s because you are full of positivity and education! Love all y’all so much!❤❤

I admire you so much...grabeeee! I literally crying kc sobra ka animal friendly.. you're the best..btw your iguana is so sweet like you..❤❤❤God bless your good heart.. Also im a li'l bit scared for you guys nun Nakita ko snake huhu! Pls be careful ha...God bless your home 🏡🙏 love you both and the rest of the farm house ❤❤❤

Happy wife, happy life! Lol you are adorable. If there is a hole in the concrete tunnel platform put a tree in it, it would keep the trees from falling in the wind which they will. Or put in ceramic, etc heavy pot to put them in so it gives them stability, can put rocks in it if big so it has growing room. If that was a plastic bag it I Will hinder its growth. You could just put a shorter plant in that pot, creeping Jenny or flowers like cannas!

I will 'manifest' bumping into you and RJ!! Not sure if I can make it to fiesta 😢 Enjoy our beautiful city and plenty of eats.. I dunno where to begin!! Hehe woohoo can't wait to see your sydney Adventures

Hala po kuya, may kamandag sa farm house mo. Kailangan tawagan mo po si Doc Nelson. Delikado po yan! 😱😱😱

A lot of work on the pond, so stay safe on ur trip 🇨🇦👍

You should get more cats and guinea fowl

Plant some anti snake plants like mint, lemongrass, snake grass, basil, chives, marigolds, garlic, onion and mugwort

hope to see you in Toronto

Becareful on those lettuce lily's! Nice pond

Guinea fowl and peafowl are awesome!!!

Safe travels!!! Will you have a meet & greet in TO?

Melody is looking pretty and healthy.

Have a safe trip ❤

Very educational.

Mikey thanks for more info and nice educated video

Yes, guinea fowl can eat snakes. They are easier than peacocks. Gloria

Oh! Egyptian papyrus, one of my favorite plants!

Binge on seafoods….steaks….lambchops…fish n chips…and a lot more…

Love your pond.

The pond looks much nicer now. I wish I can transform into a frog or guppy or turtle or crayfish sometimes or maybe a lily to enjoy the pond with them.

Really love the pond❤❤, hopefully you would put some monster fish or koi fishes😊😊

have a safe trip..

I cannot see you in Sidney. I hope you can show us something happening from your Sidney event. Good luck and more power to you and RJ. ❤❤❤

I so love your pond! I wish my lot was bigger to accommodate a pond. Do you plan to add rocks at the bottom of the pond to make the underwater terrain more interesting for the animals?

Sir Mikey ingat sa mga log na connectes sa tubig palabas ng pond since may crayfish kaay baka magsitakas lahat, tapos I recommend lot of dridrwoods sa ilalim pra may tagoan ung mga crayfish..mahilig kasi sila mag tago sa umaga..godbless Sir Mikey..❤❤❤

I can't wait to meet you in Fort Lee New Jersey. I signed up for an early spot. When I am in Fort Lee, I like to eat awesome Korean food at BCD Tofu House, which opens at 11 AM.
