How to maintain your Terra Flora Bioactive Terrarium

In this video the Dude discusses how to maintain your Terra Flora bioactive terrarium. In this video a bioactive Borneo Eared Frog terrarium is presented. I discuss the humidity levels, how I keep them, signs to monitor your substrate, and of course how to keep it clean and healthy!
Note: We upgraded the HydroGrow - It is no longer white and a different type of drainage layer. You can find the info here:

Hey bio dude. Just wanted to say thanks from my wife and I. Randomly coming across your informative videos have thrown us into our new hobby which is raising reptiles. I ordered just about everything from you for our bearded dragons. Still more to be bought soon. Thanks again... (Guy from new jersey with 2 orders and i accidently sent 1 to new york)

Dear BioDude!

Do you also ship to Austria? If yes, you much does it cost?

Nice Video

Hey, I'm new & just watched your video for the first time. So, to be clear, the water doesn't have to be changed regularly from the water area?

[jtreece]

Was wondering when you are going to do the Cuban anole setup video?

[rafaellopez]

will you ever be able to ship internationaly?

[Anthony-egpw]

Could I use the bio shot along with iso pods or should I not do both ? Thanks for your help

[alldead]

Hey man great videos very informative also great website with great options. I was wondering if you would ever do a GTP setup as I’m looking into Bioactive kits for one but I am very concerned about proper heating with everything growing inside. Thanks for the vids!

Why do some videos have drainage gravel layers and some do not... I've been curious about this for a while...

[pineapplepunchlines]

Would you be able to do a video on long tailed lizards, I've been thinking about getting one, but I want to make sure I do the right setup for it.

Does the prickly pear you sell on your website actually grow the fruits ????

Hey @biodude I have a question. I plan on getting a zoomed lowboy tank and I was thinking about heating. Is it hard to keep the tank heated when it is opened 24/7 and can I make it bioactive ? I guess I can make it bioactive because I have heard that the springtails can't climb on glass but I'm not sure and I don't want them to walk around my whole apartment. I hope you read that and give me some answers. Thanks and keep up with those awesome videos.

Hey Josh, can u tell something about how to cut the plants of they get too big please.

[mtalmonky]

Hey Josh great video's. I was wondering what would be a great beginner frog when your starting out. I was thinking of going with 2 white tree frogs... also what would be a good ABG substrate mixture or a great alternative to Tree Fern fiber since it seems to have gone off the map at least in Canada where I am from. I've also seen people putting in a drain tube to drain out the Vivarium water that collects at the bottom is this really necessary?

I'm thinking of getting a Biopod for a male ball python, should I get the Terra Biopod for his whole life, or wait 1 year or two for the grand, but the grand is 90 gallons and I'm afraid it is too big.

[lucasparenberg]

dear biodude can you do shipping to Europe(belgium) pleas.

thank you very much

I’ve heard you say a few times that you have to remove urates. I’m not really sure what that means... I think you’re talking about urine? Can you make a video or explain how you do that? I’m new to terrariums and I have not gotten any reptiles or frogs 🐸 yet. Just doing my research first!

[yamaharacecrew]

I have a question. Would you recommend to keep leopard geckos in a zoomed lowboy tank ? I also want to add some cactus to the leopard geckos would that work ? And do I need lamps for leopardgeckos or would be a heatmap enough for them. Sorry for my bad English I'm German :)

[friablesj]

Can you keep a terrarium with just plants and not springtails which make it bioactive? My mother doesn't approve of bugs being in the house, so I'm wondering and if so how do you clean the terrarium?

[Ohdeesy]

Hey Josh. When I grow up I want to be just like you. But with that being said I have a simple question. What was your major in college. Was it herpetology.if not what is it
