The supreme challenge for any terrarium or paludarium keeper is to have a natural looking, stunning environment in which to house your favorite reptiles and amphibians. We have all seen these beautiful enclosures on Youtube and thought "dang, I wish I had a tank that could look that nice, but i don't know how"... well now you do! This series is the most in-depth terrarium/paludarium build available on Youtube! This build is split into multiple days, just like you would if you were building yourself. In this episode, we are going to open up our Zoo-Med paludarium kit, give it a good scrub, plan our tank and do the sprayfoam backdrop. All the products used in this video can be found down below. If you have any questions at all, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK!!
