This is a great little enclosure for small pets and looks rly nice for a display. For me it looks perfect for a small arboreal/semi arboreal tarantula but I would change one thing, the mesh on the lid, tarantulas can sometimes get the hooks on their feet caught in the mesh and get themselves stuck which can result in losing a leg. A plastic lid with holes drilled in would be more suitable. Maybe mantis den could add the option of choosing which type of lid u would prefer.
I do no this has nothing to do with the this beautiful enclosure.but last night I actually got a recording of my leopard gecko shedding.and I no u like to educate people but cudnt explain on ur leopard gecko video and wud like to no if u wide like my futich.because u helped me alot and u cud help other first lizard parents.thanks for all ur good work Richard keep it up.😀🦎
watched that ideas on bio active enclosure mate.. can you guide me where to start watching on your channel.. new to the hobby.. but probably i think gonna watch all the content 😁🔥
do you have to take (a lot of) care of the plants other than just watering them every day? i have an orchid mantis and would like to create an enclosure like this but i am REALLY bad with plants and keeping plants alive.
Great build mate. Just getting into Bio Active myself. Going to start just with flower/plants and springtails/isopods before I decide on the inhabitant. Any suggestions? I've got a small fish tank type enclosure
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I know, they are also not suitable for tarantula's. We as tarantula owners always need to demount the terrariums to get rid of that stupid mesh and replace it for something else (plexiglass).
But that product isn’t 100% silicone!!! Everbuild general purpose silicone contains biocides. Here is a link to the product. www.everbuild.co.uk/product/general-purpose-silicone/ The same manufacturer does an aquarium safe silicone called aquamate which would be appropriate to use. Please, please, please use products that don’t contain biocides. It’s a shame, because this little setup looks really good!

It also opens from the top, which isn’t ideal for mantids or small spiders because that’s where they make their home
I really like this Richard. I saved it to make one myself.
There so fun
That is a cool home for your praying mantis I have 2 ghost prayingmantis

Northern exotics UA-cam . Try searching for that :)
The first minute very funny 😂, hey what is better glass or acrylic terrarium?
They both have there benifits. I guess it depends on what your using it for and what your willing to pay
Amazing enclosure is that the Styrofoam that you showed in your northen exotics shorts video

This is late lol but no! As long as there is good drainage, light and some microfauna, it’ll become it’s own ecosystem:)
@@RU-Srs thanks!!
Im sorry for asking again but i would really Like to see hows your ants doing
My jumping spider recently passed away and I'm thinking about getting an orchid mantis.
What is the biggest cage u can get for a orchid mantiS
Does pea gravel work as drainage layer as it is cheaper and looks much the same to the stuff you've used
Yes. Just was it well
Its a philodendron scandens. Not pothos. But xute enclosure😊
Do you know what the third (smaller) plant was please?!
Amazing build! Off topic but how much does a crested gecko and all the other stuff for it cost in total
This video is the cost without the gecko. ua-cam.com/video/O6oEOrnKVls/v-deo.html

Thanks for the inspiration! But 1 thing. This terrarium is not suitable for tarantulas because of the mesh lid.
It's the same mesh as exo terra

Aren’t you worried about the biocides in the silicone you’ve used?
Nope. Not with 100% silicone
But that product isn’t 100% silicone!!! Everbuild general purpose silicone contains biocides. Here is a link to the product.

Hi! Can leopard geckos survive with heat pads?
Yes.
Love the set up mate looks great
