Those isopods are porcellio scaber lava. One of my favorites
@@haydenlaudemann8776 Thanks a lot for the answer :))
I have read that they live in areas with little humidity and that they need at least one completely dry area. What can you tell me about your experience? Can they stay in completely humid terrariums? naturally not the paludarium-type aquatic ones, it's a variety that I really like too and I would like to put them in woodland-type terrariums. I'm Italian and I hope that Google translator has translated well :))
@Antonella Tundo well they are a large species so I wouldn't recommend putting them in anything smaller than 6×6 inches. In my experience they do need a dry area. That does not mean they won't live in a humid environment but they certainly won't thrive to their fullest. It is a hardy species so it should be able to adapt fairly well. Even if they have leaf litter or hard scape to escape from moist substrate I would think they would do fine
@@haydenlaudemann8776 Thanks for the reply, you've been very helpful! I will try to breed them because they are really beautiful. At the moment I am keeping Cubaris sp Panda King very successfully but Scaber Lava would give a nice touch of color to terrariums. Good job and thanks for sharing your creations with us :))
I've just bought your book to start my own terrarium at the age of 64 , should be an arm chair sort of job. Lol Thank you for your video much appreciated
Hey... Did you make your ecosystem?
my favourite feature was the wood acting as if it was making a cave over the pond, also the leaf litter, moss and botanicals were spread out in a very pleasing ratio. Planting behind the hardscape had a beautiful effect that the terrarium continued outside of the terrarium like it was a real forest. In my opinion this is a 10/10 build.

So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit.

@@jrmartinez1354k, does this look like a fucking place to talk about God? Sounds like a goofy ass bot in my opinion
@@jrmartinez1354
le bon dieu dans un aquarium ??? ! 😂
These are the videos I always watch before bed as they are so calming relaxing and wonderful to look at
A garden snail would be a really neat addition!
Good call.
What about garden worms?
Porcellio scaber “Lava” is your Isopod species and it’s common morph name.
Looks great!
Such a gorgeous terrarium!
thank you! glad you like it😃

Y'know, having an eco-system in your house makes it feel like there is a mini forest in the house and it makes it so much easier to breathe in.

@@jrmartinez1354trump-kun is so babygirl-coded!!! n-n-n-n-n-nyaaaa~!
I live in jungle..that is how I like it.
In the future, undo the perfect geometry of the pond (or any plastic accessory used for any purpose). I do this by submerging in boiling water. That gets most plastics soft enough to reshape by hand. Use cold water to lock in the shape. Repeat until you are satisfied, ☮️❤️🌈
Great idea! I’ll definitely have to try that!
I need this on my workdesk at the office, so badly..! 😍
This proves that not every terrarium has to be big. It must be so fun to watch all the creatures and plants grow over time. #Terrarium ❤
It truly is😃

I’m new to terarrium making and there is lots of ideas floating around after watching that. Very very nice build and the instruction was clear and understandable. Keep up the great work
SO soothing in the dark before 💤 and absolutely beautiful 😍
very nice, I've been seeing glass vases everywhere, even next to the dumpsters, I've not taken them with me yet, as I'm not sure if I can do this awesome job, so I procrastinate haha, love the mini pond
Thank you. You should give it a go:)
You can defently do it!!
you had me a ‘mini pond’ 💚💚💚
💚
I love terrarium I madera my first in tic tac box
love the pond
This terrarium is dope 😮. I want that mini pond so much. I want to make a new terrarium today !
I absolutely Love it... so awsome... wow
Thank you!
Beautiful build mate. Loved watching this
Thanks mate!
This is so cute! I love the acorn and mini pond the most!
Those isopods are porcellio scaber lava
🤓 those are porcelain scaler lava isopods
Yes
@@CrazyCringed bro you make mid ass Roblox vids stop talking
Also known as common rough woodlouse!
@@CrazyCringed 😐
From India nice ecosystem 😊😊
What a beautiful terrarium. Thanks for sharing
This is one of my favorites so far. I love the round shape of the glass it would look good in most parts of the house. Using the wood made this look like a mini forest and the acorns were a plus. Nice job.
Glad you like it😃
I stay up late just stuck watching your videos they are very visually pleasing
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them:)
My new hobby! Thank you
No problem!:)
This is so impressive and stunning!!
❤❤❤. Thank you. So beautiful
this channel is so underrated
💚
Nice video. We have to stand with nature. And this miniature ecosystems in each home will bring children close to the nature❤🌱
Very beautiful
Thank you so much for this. I am a new subscriber. Terrariums have always fascinated me since I read about one as a child, and I have always wanted to make one, even though I am no avid gardener or have any gardening background. Your videos unravelled the mystery so well. Thanks!
ITS REALLY BEAUTYFUL
Love this! I believe those are woodlice, cute little guys
Excellent upload. Thanks for the ideas.
Terrariums are my favourite , especially a mini pond
the pond is so cute! :3
Great that's so beautiful!!
Thank you!
this guy is proof that you can do anything with anything
Speechless 👏👏👏👏👏, hope I could make one like this 💚
Absolutely beautiful!! I just ordered all the stuff and can't wait to make my own . Tank you
This is a very beautiful build, living art. My son introduced me to these types of videos, we are both going to try our hand at one.
This looks so beautiful
Thank you!
see this is a good use for glass bowls! unlike those terrible bowl aquariums-
So beautiful
Thank you!😃

Amazing 👏🏻 🎉 I've only watched 2 videos so far, counting this one 😂 but this is my favorite because it has a small water feature. I'm going back and forth on making a salt or freshwater ecosphere or one of these. I'm leaning towards this! 🎉
Lovely channel
You are a wonderful teacher.... ❤ Blessings
Beautiful and creative!
So beautiful ! i might steal your ideas hehe
Please make more of these videos
Wow ❤ Very Very cute 😍
Awesome. This pond is amazing and so creative
Amazing. Thank you so much!
You're an artist man. I'm addicted to your videos
Thank you!
This would be fantastic for my lil prayin mantises!imma have to watch more of ur videos to get a good ideal home..beautiful job!!❤
Thank you💚
all of a sudden my body moved uncontrollably and i subscribed with the bell on
Oh no!😅💚
Such a creative way to make a terrarium!🤩
A few small garden millipedes would add some interest. They're only 1" - 1 1/2" long, and won't bother the isopods or springtails like garden centipedes would. I love the pond. It adds a lot to the terrarium.
this video made me like terrariums more and im allowed to make my own terrarium :)
Very informative video, beautiful eco system
That's AWESOME 🔥🔥💯💯✨✨
Really good video ! Make more vids on the vivariums in the background please :)
Thanks! Will do:)
beautifull !!!!
I love it ❤
Amazing miniature world :)
Thank you!
Stunning!
Love the acorn ❤ it's so sweet😊 my terrarium got moldy even with the isopods 😅 I guess they are slow cleaners! And I don't know if there are enough spring tails there cause it's the black species
Thank you! If there is too much mould you can always manually remove it:)
Wow beautiful man.. Good work!
Really nice build! Though I'm wondering, did you do anything to the acorn to prevent it from sprouting? Or will you replace it once it has grown too much?
Thank you! I sterilised it with the leaves so I doubt it will sprout:)
That's basically the same exact thing I was gonna do, with a spherical glass jar and a pond in the center, except to imitate the Garden of Eden, and I was gonna make a replica Tree of Life on a crystal/rock in the pond! I hope to do it someday, but idk if I can do it now.
You should do it!:)
@@TerrariumDesigns Thanks! I want to, but God is calling me out for a mission, and I won't be able to store it anywhere. Maybe after I'm done with the bicycle tour He wants me to do, I can build it! I'd love to work on it with my husband (Eminem) as a project together actually. 🥰
Nicely done, but those ferns are going to outgrow that space very quickly. I worry about the shelf life of this project, as pretty as it is.
Just entering the magical world of terrariums, after 40 years of keeping aquariums and aquascaping, and am loving your channel. I can see the aquascaping link. Love it. I have ordered your e-book, and am looking at your terrarium soil. To have an idea of how much I should order, how much did you use for this build? Errol
This was well made! You even showed it a few weeks later! The duckweed is brilliant! I have a piece of feedback...that piece of driftwood at the water could work as an escape for the isopods, if it were dipping in the water. Or is the rough surface on the sides enough for them to crawl out of the water to escape?
Good idea! They’ll be able to climb out as it is but that would definitely make it easier:)
I love this video & info. I just got a smaller round glass like yours.
I love the pond
just superb !!
Hope you enjoyed the build! What else should I put in here?!
You should put a centipede maybe
Maybe make a terrarium with some mushrooms in
Need a predator
You need Buffalo Beetles and blue death feigning beetles but you have to wait until all 3 start overpopulating and then you can add 6 blue death feigning beetles
Ima use coco fibre AND leca for the drainage because I'm gonna do a 2 gallon
A milepede would make a Nice edition to this in my opinion
Great build, and a great video!
Thank you!
I think this is beautiful and looks like a real forest.
I like the idea of putting animals as well as plants in the terrarium.
I have a question for you. Do you have a problem with the isopods overpopulation?
Really beautiful.
Love the ideas for these.
Looks great. If I was a lil’ fairy I’d wanna live in here
Woah. I’m trying to be an author, so whenever I can’t imagine a setting for a part of my fairy, I will come to your channel. :D
I've always called those isopods wood bugs (because they eat rotting wood), but I've also heard then called potato bugs. They are common where I live on the southwest coast of Canada
Love it!
Beautiful 🥰
Great video...👍
Good job! A really nice terrarium and the idea of the pond is very original :)) Can you tell me what variety is the isopod in the photo?
Thanks! Just done some research, they are porcellio scaber lava
Vraiment très joli. Je vais essayer d'en réaliser un, ce sera pour moi une première !!! Je n'y avait jamais pensé avant👍👍👍👍💓💓💓
I believe those are Lava Isopods as I have those too
for the pond you can also used hardened clay.
That's an amazingly beautiful terrarium, very well done! How about adding some millipedes to it?
Thank you! Good idea:)
This is cool🤗
This turned out beautiful! I just had a few questions about caring for it afterwards since I would love to build my first terrarium:
How do you take care of growth, just trim some of the plants occasionally so it doesn't overgrow? And after the isopods multiply do you just take a few out when the population is too big?
I've recently created a similar terrarium with a pond feature. The pond keeps fully evaporating - do you have any tips to keep a higher water level so my pond looks full?
So beautiful!😊
