Listen Later

Tanner Serpa of SerpaDesigns and Dayyan Saylany of Reptiliatus discuss the ins and outs of building a paludarium for amphibians, reptiles, and other critters. They each share details of their experiences over the years in building paludariums, their successes and mistakes, as well as the details in building these types of enclosures – step by step. From types of enclosures you can build a paludarium in, filtration systems and equipment, hardscape materials and leaf litter, to managing waste from animals is discussed at length. Tanner and Dayyan also individually offer many different species of plants that can be used in semi-aquatic enclosures like these, from more common houseplants to even plants you can find outside.
