I couldn't be more proud of my boy Tank. In 4 days he'll turn 7 years old. As he matures he gets more docile and interactive. I find him to be the most intelligent reptile I've ever worked with. We are buddies and all he wants is to spend time with me. At 40+ pounds he is so kind and easy going. I'm a lucky keeper.

Well looks like I'm going to be getting into darts in the somewhat near future. Happened to stumble across a guy going around reptile groups getting the hype built up for a new product he is releasing. Apparently this Canadian biologist has been working is his spare time for 20 years on making the perfect all in one tank for darts and other tropical species (although this setup can do more than just that). He is getting the funding for his first production models through kickstarter and his campaign already got funded in a little over 3 hours. I personally got in on the early orders and got 50% off his biggest enclosure the Aqua.



This setup is absolutely amazing. It's more or less controlled by your smartphone. You basically select the species you are keeping and this thing will automate EVERY aspect of keeping the habitat perfect. It has little zoned thermo controlled heatmats so you can provide perfect temp gradients. It has hygrometer controlled sprayers to keep humidity w/e you want it at a certain time of day. The light system has dawn and dusk dimming as well as long term seasonal shifts (same with temps if you want to do so). There is a system that introduces fresh air into the viv when needed. That system also ties into the back wall of this thing that is literally an aquaponics setup and introduces air under the substrate to keep plant roots healthy. It can also have the pond mode with several land sizes or just terrestrial only giving you more height to work with. It also has a built in webcam so you can stare at your herps anytime lol I'm sure there are a few features I'm missing too. This guy seriously though of everything and frankly the prices with the kickstarter promo are a steal for the features. I'm going to probably be keeping a trio of tinc dart frogs in this setup myself. If interested search facebook or kickstarter for Biopod.

I'm surprised none of the big guys went for this before this guy. The tech has been there for at least a few years (really could have done alot of this further back without the LEDs maybe).

This is my first exposure to the product. Thanks. Never even heard of it. It does look and sound like it will fly off shelves eventually.
