Nice enclosure, I just had a few questions as I wanted to prepare for my cherryhead when he starts to grow, do you use a repti fogger when you are away and where can I find an enclosure like this?
@SotasExotics
@SotasExotics 17 күн бұрын
@@CorruptedWanderer the enclosure was custom made by a pvc enclosure builder nearby. Depending where you live I’m sure you can find someone near you. I don’t use a fogger, I prefer to spray with a pump can. I got one from Home Depot for about $35 and it’s lasted very well.

In my case, it would be "Why NOT to go bioactive." All it takes is one parasite outbreak and then you're out thousands of dollars, hours upon hours of work and months of waiting for stuff to grow in. When it happened to me, I had to throw out $10,000+ in bioactive enclosures to save my animals. I don't think I'll ever do it again, even though I loved seeing them inside the greenery. Another negative was when I discovered ticks inside the substrate, but bioactive advocates highly disparage sifting, sterilizing the soil, or sterilizing the decorations. I would 100% disregard most of their advice if I were ever to do it over again. If you join the Facebook groups and tell them your plan to sterilize, it can result in an automatic ban.

TTPG is most definitely not the event to go to if you’re looking for people who are passionate about turtles in their natural habitat. For that, head to the TSA Symposium. TTPG is squarely focused on the private captive breeding of turtles and protecting private turtle keeping. Sam, I hope you can be the change that the TTPG needs.

Great update Sam. Tillandsias need nearly constant high humidity to persist- in that set up with the heat bulbs, you’d probably have to spray them every day. As far as new additions, look to Sanseveria. There are several species and cultivars, and they are native to East Africa. Pancakes are awesome, I absolutely love them. Thanks for sharing your group with us.

I can't tell 100% but it looks like it might be a water hyacinth you might also want to add some water spray also note is Indian water fern which will self replicate by spawning babies in the the spots between the fingers on the fronts so each thumb or finger between them will sprout a baby plan And it's self rejuvenating to rejuvenating is 100 percent edible by animal animals and plants I mean animals and turtles and chickens elite the stuff so it's good for them and usually they bring in a couple of pond snails or Rams horn snails which are fine the turtles will eat those too You might want to just put a couple of mosquito fish or guppies if you're in a tropical area or a warm area they will survive over the winter if not if you live in a temperate zone you got to bring them in in the winter time because they will die off we deserve the cold The only ones that might survive are Gambusia and they are native to the United States and Mexico can live in fresh or brackish water and can spend brief periods of time in high salinity saltwater or you could add Molly's mollies will survive in tropical waters and in temperate warm subtropical waters and saltwater and fresh. but then Gambusia probably the best fish for mosquito control and they're pretty little fish in their own way they're about the size of guppies both libraries both guppies and gamboos . are libraries they don't know if they can interbreed or not but they can go see a look like guppies they just don't have the thin coloration they have vertical stripes instead of horizontal stripes and they kind of bluish greenish scales on the sides with those black stripes they can have sometimes a silver or golden tinge to them so they're pretty fish the males are very pretty The females are very dull they're kind of like olive green drab color with the stripes but there be good to get but for a floating plant definitely get the water sprite and as the leaves age there's the plant age excuse me and their leaves grow more and more out of the water they've become more frog like like real delicate but they're thick they're very versatile leaves so they mean they can start out in the water and be very flat and broad leaf So they're trying to absorb as much sunlight and get as much carbon dioxide as possible and once they start growing out of the water they start thinning out and adapting to more terrestrial style photosynthesis and breathing they absorb more carbon dioxide through the aerial leaves than they do the aquatic ones But it's a nice little trade off between the plant and above all they're going to be sucking up nitrates like you didn't believe it's one of the best plants out there for 2nd up nitrates but they've got to be floating plants they can't plant them they have a lot of roots the roots the whole plaintiff is edible for Fish and turtles

I actually did end up getting some guppies and yes that it a water hyacinth I just couldn’t remember the name. The hyancinth is growing rapidly and another plant just grew from it.
