I’ve been wanting a bearded dragon for a long time and i think I’m about ready to get one mostly because of your videos! Your videos have helped me out so much! I really appreciate it :)

Thank you for this video! I've had my leopard gecko for almost 2 months now and I've been planning on going bioactive with a dirt mix and such instead of the paper towels I've been using. Now I know how to make a good mix for her!

Hey, great video! Question, since I have a leopard gecko, could this be considerable substrate I should use? I know they aren’t originally from the straight desert so I’m not sure if it’s okay to use sand. Multiple sites and my vet say that I shouldn’t use substrate and just stick to tile because it’s “dangerous” and the gecko could consume the substrate and die. I really don’t know what to do, I want to go bioactive but I’m too scared. Any tips, please?

What will be a good mix proportion of top soil, sand and clay for a tank that's 36x18x18? Thanks in advance!

Hey chief! I have been watching your vids for quite a bit now and was wondering what your heating lamps are. Right now I’m looking to upgrade and you seem to be the only reptile YouTuber I can trust! It would be much appreciated if you could tell me what brand you use! Again much appreciated!!!!

Does this include geckos? Because I’ve been wanting a leopard gecko for a while and the internet says sand/reptisand isn’t healthy if ingested and could be fatal. It said reptisoil alone would be fine. Is that true cause I’m a first time reptile owner (I’m js doing research rn) and I don’t want to kill my gecko

I've seen you mention a bioactive tank a few times now, I'm interested in that concept but I am worried about my beardie eating plants that may be toxic.
My Question is: are there plants to avoid pairing with a curious beardie? or perhaps the shorter list would be nontoxic plants... thanks so much for all the info so far <3

Would we achieve the same arid look with this...

-Terra Sahara, THE BIO DUDE

-Excavator Clay

-ExoTerra Desert Sand

-Stone Desert

What do you reckon?

It's for my Western Hognose but want to make it look like she's a miniature Rattlesnake in Arizona.

Awesome info!! We are gearing up for our first beardie and are jumping straight into a 120 gallon tank - with that in mind, would you recommend going the home depot route (and for a single 120 gallon tank - would there still be a ton leftover?) or could we get away with the reptisoil/exvacator clay etc, and if so - what would the mix be for that size tank?

Also one last question regarding stone desert mix: you mentioned layering the mix with 1-2" of stone desert, is that on top of the stone desert that you hand-mixed with the rest of the substrate? Thanks!
