Unboxing New Critters
Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this video where I unbox some new critters and talk about our intake process here at The Bio Dude. We do everything we can to ensure these guys are healthy before they go onto the floor at our southeast Houston store. This includes various tests for viruses and a quarantine period where we ensure that animals can eat and shed.
.
If you’re interested in any of the animals from this video, they’ve all finished quarantine except for the 6 beardies and are ready to go to loving, bioactive homes! Stop by and check 'em out!
.
To purchase Dude-bred critters, visit our Morph Market www.morphmarket.com/stores/thebiodude/

      Since they are from the outdoors, it is not recommended to use isopods that you catch, since they can harbor disease and parasites. You can definitely purchase Armadillidium species from breeders, since they are safe and free from illness/parasites (if you order from a good breeder)

    So for some reason I'm not seeing my comment in the comments section I don't know why. So I'll paraphrase this. US department of energy is banning GSL General Service Lamps this July. Unfortunately many reptile lights are being impacted by this and are effectively being banned here. Including Arcadia and multiple other reptile lighting companies. If you can't find the lights in the US as of recent thats why. USARK has a webpage to contact the Department of energy and is asking people in the US to speak up to see if we can get an exemption. It is also recommended to contact your state representative .

    One thing id mention. The guy on the right seems to be unaware snakes in tubs and their sleep cycle isnt improved by a lack of light its disturbed. Light doesnt blinde a snake or hurt it. It improves their neurological health, gives them an oppurtunity to bask, and establish a good sleep cycle. Just because you live in a dark tub as a nocturnal animal doesnt mean u will sleep good if you never know when day time is!!! While light isnt needed for a royals survival it is really good for them. Imagine you are a creature that is up throughout the night, and then you are never given a chance to see light!! "ball pythons are burrowing species" well mine climbs, basks, explores, and burrows. They arent worms !! Day/ night cycle is a must have for optimal sleep and mental health and pretty hard to accomplish inside a tub ;)

    Maybe it’s just me from an aesthetic standpoint but that looks extremely overcrowded for a spider that can get to be 6”. I’m just curious if it has enough room to move around and an area for nesting and molting in it. I will state that I have never set up bio active anything for spiders and have only done this for reptiles so I’m genuinely curious as I’m considering getting the pink toe that’s been at my local pet store for quite a while and feel bad for because it’s habitat is absolutely barren with zero enrichment ever. Edit: 😂 I need to be less impatient and watch videos to the end. From the distance it looked extremely narrow and overcrowded BUUUT that’s why I watch his videos to learn also would it be safe to go bigger than this or are theses a species that would be uncomfortable with too much space? Thanks!
