Bioactive Gargoyle Gecko Vivarium

I had requests to do this build years ago, but I didn't have or want a gargoyle gecko. That said I just recently adopted this gecko, which meant that she needed a custom bioactive vivarium.

She was given to me along with an 18x18x24" exoterra. Normally I don't use them, but I know that a lot of you do and I wanted to show you what is possible with this type of tank. Hopefully this gives you some ideas and inspiration for your next build.

Also let me know if there's anything you want more information on when I upload the follow-up video.

I'll get a full list of materials up at a later time, but I linked up all of the ones I consistency get comments about.

You are the Bob Ross of terrariums, my friend. Keep it up!

[AntsCanada]

Gorgeous terrarium build, as usual! ❤🙌

[leopardgeckotalk]

Great work, gave me so many ideas for future tank builds! :)

Such a beautiful tank I aspire to be able to build something like this for my geckos when my budget allows me to!

[logantheone_]

You’ve inspired me throughout the years to make a variety of different terrariums, vivariums, pauladariums and aquariums. Thank you

[suzieronfell]

This is why my red eye tree frog vivarium is so good because I watch you😂

[poldoll]

This is so beautiful, I love how you make it look so natural and earthy. I bet your home just looks amazing with all those terrariums, vivariums, and fish tanks. So much green!! You should do a tour of your home. I'd watch for sure.

When you realize that a gecko lives in a better “room” than you do.

A friend of mine just recommended your channel to me and YES! I am so stoked to see someone has made a bio-active enclosure for a gargoyle!! I really hope to re-do mine's home especially now that I have seen this.

You should have way more views for the talent and amount of work you dedicate to your creations! It’s the first time I say this to a youtuber! You inspired me to build terrariums for my geckos and beardies, all the best to you Tanner!

Definitely the inspiration I needed right now, I'm upgrading my crestie from her already big tank to another one that is almost twice the height and I can't wait to start building it!!!

[chiuanson]

I love it!!🥰 Love from Malaysia here~ Hope can see Asian Forest Scorpion tank setup!❤️

[bobkob]

I love that with the coco fiber “ cloth” siliconed to the side walls,

Great video also,

[aurorasurrealis]

Finallyyy I have been waiting for this video since you first introduced her to us!
Amazing work as always!

[lindsayclark]

Very new to your channel, I’ve never made or knew I’d been interested in the scapes you make, I don’t keep reptiles etc, but I love your channel; it’s relaxing and beautiful to watch. Thanks, Linds, Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The hard scape on this one is wonderful, perfect for a New Caledonian gecko

[NitroxNova]

my only regret is I'm running out of builds to watch, I guess I'll have to watch them all again lol, Love your channel, I've learned so much!

[robinpoulton]

Just seen this video very helpful. I had thought of using hot glue to temporarily hold things in place before I foamed them in but had always thought the glue might crack the glass because of the heat.. Never too old to learn something new.

This one has always been in and it still is my favorite of all your videos because it's the one that shows so much variety and ease when it comes to this stuff it's really inspiring
