Some updates!

The Swarms episode is coming along. Belmont is in the 125 Gallon and doing great. I have found another Gray Tree Frog and I think it's a female. If it is I'll see which male she bonds with and that's the enclosure she will go in.

I'm really excited to have a Northern PA Vivarium and a Western PA Vivarium. There will be a difference because I have a large UTH on the back of the 75 Gallon which will be the Northern Setup. This may give the enclosure a 5 degree difference and I may use a T5 Fixture to give more heat. My inspiration for this comes from Pine Creek which was the trail I walked on when up north. Since people go to this spot up north to fish I felt it was necessary to have a waterfall that has a small stream that will keep the mosquito fish I have currently. This is a native species of fish and the most durable fish. This will be the first time I included fish in a pa setup that was planned. The goal is to create more humidity and heat in the northern setup and because I've been looking at the weather I see it's colder at night and warmer in the day. I can't make it cooler then the other tank at night but I can increase heat. If I go with a T5 Fixture then I can't have as accurate day night cycle it would be 4 types. Morning, afternoon, evening and night. I may be able to make some tweaks adding another fixture with a T5 one but it won't be like the 125 gallon light. This project will be on going as this year goes on.


The western woods is about done. I have some plants to add to the water, the background and to add crops. The devices are set and I just need a female tree frog and I may have just found one. One enclosure will have it's inhabitants with a pair of toads and tree frogs and one will need one more tree frog. The western woods will also need it's background updated because the toads climb it and dig into it so when I hibernate them I'll fix it. They eat the Banded Crickets tomorrow and I'll attempt the Mealworm Beetle as well. I have an army of mealworm beetles now so it'll be interesting to see if the toads and tree frogs eat them.

Some of my playlists will not have as many episodes this year since the tank hasn't really been up for that long but I will have a lot of content. I'll explain some tweaks I am making tomorrow. I'll have more news on the Swarms video and have more information on how Belmont does.

Have you ever heard of a rain wall or seen it in an enclosure?

Which enclosure has you more interested the Western enclosure or the Northern?

What devices should I add to the northern setup?
