I Made a Lush Jungle Oasis: Fire-Bellied Toad Paludarium

My Fire-Bellied Toads are old and I wanted to give them a retirement home and friends.

I have no intention of building another paludarium for them after this. I feel like I've learned and developed my skills enough that this will stand the test of time. I hope at least. My hope from here is to let these toads live out their lives here and hopefully pass on their genes to future generations if possible.

Fire-Bellied Toads are incredible little creatures that will live a long time. I’m thankful to have shared most of my journey with them so far and am excited to see what the future holds. Enjoy and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

My oldest fire bellied toad is 17 and still going strong. With your level of care, I'm sure you'll enjoy them for many more years to come.

Hey Serpadesign, I’ve been part of this channel for 8-9 years now all the way back when you were the only one on this platform I felt like making terrariums of all kinds. Thank you for teaching me almost a decade and I look forward to the next environment you capture.

4:17 man i know it doesnt seem needed, but for stuff like thsi you gotta wear safety glasses. i was trimming a small piece of wire, routine stuff just like this, and a piece flew off into my eye and gave me permanent eye damage.

I apologize as this comment is slightly off topic, but felt this was the best way to make sure you got it. I have wanted to thank you for posting these videos, they gave me the final piece I needed to build my own 560 gallon vivarium.
A little over 30 years ago, I attended my first orchid show, and at that show they had a planted 4'x 4'x 4' jungle tank filled with stunning plants. In truth, and hazy memory, this was likely just a showpiece prop made to look like a planted tank. However, that memory has stayed with me for all these years as something I wanted to have myself one day. For many years, things like money, time, moving, access to materials, and even doubt would stop me from building something on this scale, but it never really left my thoughts as something I wanted to do. Eventually, I purchased a home, got a job that made good money, had the time, and wanted to give it a shot. The problem was I couldn't figure out a design that I liked, nor find a source of reasonable priced glass as for some reason I was stuck on this being an all glass enclosure... Then I found your video on the 600 gallon vivarium... and everything clicked. especially with the doors. Again, I was stuck on some sort of giant Exo-Terra shaped tank with swing out doors, that it never even crossed my mind to look at sliding doors. With those final pieces of design, I finally was able to construct the vivarium I've been dreaming of for so many year. I started the build in May, and started planting in September. It has been amazing to see it to come together over the last couple months, and start to thrive, and I doubt it would have happened had I not found your videos.

To this day, your animal husbandry is the prime example of quality not quantity. And it has become a rising subject of reptile husbandry, which is good that it is being addressed. Your channel is the prefect place to go to to learn how to make beautiful and functional environments for both your and the animals enjoyment. It has inspired me, and of course many others of the serpasquad

Tanner I wanted to say thank you to you. I have been in a very bad place lately very stressed and severe anxiety your videos have helped me get out of this slump I have taken back the hobby of keeping animals because of you. Thank you.

Haha, I love these toads - I had five when I was younger and they escaped from their home one night when I didn’t close the lid properly. I thought they were gone forever but I eventually found them all one by one over the next six months - They survived stealthily roaming free in my apartment for all that time!

I really want this type of toad when I have a better work/life balance. I love seeing the different ways to make a great home for them.

[RoundSeal]

They blend in so beautifully with their surroundings. It must be so relaxing to sit and watch the paludarium, looking for them 💚 I'm always so impressed by the level of detail you manage to get into your builds. There's so much life in this one!

[CreatingNature-si]

Awesome to see a lesser known animal get so much love

[Jtter_ug]

YAYYYY MORE I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years since the old build. I remember when that video came out 😅

[caseysilva]

This is incredible. All of your builds are just impeccable. I literally watch your videos to relieve stress and get my creative mind going.

[millemillenniumfalcon]

I love the way you combined the 2 designs. The FB frogs are cute!

[Synthali]

I have been checking this channel for an upload for the past week! So glad it’s finally here!

[GlitzyWitch]

You see, this is what I love about your channel, you realise the little fire toads are still a little small and will get bullied, so you're holding off until they get bigger, which is so integral when it comes to all animals. Their new home loooks amazing, so, when can i move in 😂❤

[Ninewave]

I'm always happy when I wake up Saturday morning and see that Tanner posted a new video.

[HarmoniousHum]

I think it's a wise idea to hold off on the introduction! Gorgeous build—I absolutely love the inclusion of the white cloud mountain minnows, and it was SO sweet how excited your toads were to get into their new home!

[MsLeenite]

Those Fire-Bellied Toads are quite handsome individuals, well deserving of the beautiful environment you created for them. I wish them well in their new home!

12:39 dude's in shock, he's just frozen in place, looking at his new home in awe. i love this build so much, it's really pretty, and i love how the toads reacted to it omg
