My Giant Frog Escaped, so I Made Him a Mansion (African Bullfrog Paludarium)

Samson is back again, but in the way that I had planned. I built the enclosure for this six months ago, and I planned to complete it this fall. Sam had different plans, though. I guess that the clamps were no match for his brute strength, and he escaped!

It was disturbing the first time, but even more so this time. I thought I forgot to put them on at first until I saw how the lid was mangled. Needless to say, I didn't bother to film it because I was more concerned to get him back in the tank.

The next day, I got to work completing this new paludarium. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and I love the new concrete technique. I'll definitely be using it again!

    Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him out of the tank again, but I knew what had to be done. The next day I got to work finishing this build. I'm really pleased with how the background turned out and I'm excited to show you what else I have in the works with it. I hope you all enjoy this one and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

    It’s great how you not only consider your convenience but the welfare and enrichment of the animal. Most people don’t consider the long lives of most amphibians and reptiles when they buy one. Thanks for encouraging healthy caretaking in this community

    You know it’s a good day when Serpa uploads about samson

    I love how animal focused these are. It’s not hard to make something that looks pretty, but to make it look good while meeting an animal’s needs and thinking of their potential desires and lifespan etc. That’s what makes these magic.

    Samson is such a fitting name for this beast

  • @daniarici5425
    The dramatic reenactments were such a nice touch lol. I'm glad Samson is getting a new apartment he clearly didn't like his last one
  • @Linny14
    So glad he’s safe from the fall and this new enclosure is one for the books! The new concrete stuff you showed off is awesome definitely using it on my next enclosure!!!!!

    Many years ago as a child, I encountered an African Bullfrog (I'm from South Africa) I was warned that it could bite my fingers off, then dared to catch it. Fearfully I caught it and didn't get bit. I'm sure they don't have finger snacks, but can imagine they have a painful bite. You were bit twice. Haha Very nice setup you have for Samson, so many featuers I want to watch him interact with. Well done.

    Samson is so sassy, I loved the Dramatic Re-enactments 😂I love how you make an enriching an complex habitat seem simple by guiding us through every step

    Waking up to a Serpa video in the morning is mint 🎉

    The new concrete looks amazing compared to carved foam. I'm excited to see what you think to do with it next and refine your sculpting skills with the new material.
  • This looks insane, I particularly like the root detailing you embedded in the concrete 👌

    You chose the perfect name for a frog so strong and determined that he destroys his habitat!
