Exo Terra: Rainforest Terrarium by John Duenas

DO YOUR REPTILES FEEL AT HOME? This is for the Exo-terra contest. -RAINFOREST- Exo terra terrarium Chinese Water Dragon Physignathus cocincinus. This is my families Chinese water dragon terrarium. The dragons are housed with two aquatic turtles, Chinese golden thread, Reeves turtle, and also small koi. We started with the larger water dragon almost two years ago and just recently added a friend to the enclosure. They live very well with one another. You can see the DUAL waterfalls we have in there. One is a waterfall and filter creating a pondless effect, the other being just rocks held up by magnets on walls, with a strategically placed filter/pump providing the water flow. The other big effect is the exo terra fogger in the corner providing the fog and adding further humidity to the terrarium. There are various branches and vines throughout the enclosure. Exo terra hanging plants add a great accent to the enclosure, also covering unsightly wires and hoses. Music By OUTKAST, So Fresh, So Clean.
Thanks for watching and dont forget to vote for our terrarium!!!

how do you clean the water in the tank, if i have a filter how often should i change it and how?

[jduenas32]

@wyattthompson1 I syphon it out weekly with filter change

[Rob919Gore]

sweet set up! is it a pain to clean it because of the water and how many gallons is your terrarium?

[jduenas32]

@Rob919Gore Yea it's a pain, but only deep cleaning. I change wart filters weekly so that's quite easy. Demensions are 36 x 24 x 18 so maybe 85?

[jduenas32]

Damn man. Incredible job. How much did all that cost?

[jacob9853109]

How much was everything for that setup?

[MattiailBiondo]

is there enough water for turtles?

anyway congratulation for the wonderfull terrarium

[ObviouslySancho]

Cool setup but from the research I've gathered an adult should have 4-6 feet of height. Did you upgrade or are they fine in that 2 feet high exo terra? if they're fine might get the same tank or if it is too small might make my own

Very Cool Setup! CHECK OUT my new Custom enclosure that i just built for my two Chinese Water Dragons! I got a lot of my ideas from his videos and then some others but i made a few adjustments of my own. HAVE A LOOK! :D
