what is the steam in your tank?
Wich camra/setting are you using ?
@@davidpainter5215😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
p1p 😂😂❤❤❤
You inspired me to build a terrarium for my daughter, she was so stunned. Thank you 🙏
Make yt short on it showing picture pls
You put your daughter in a terrarium? 😨
@@oliverl2172 dude 😂
Love to hear this!
Better be at least a 20 gallon if you’re gonna fit a child in there 👍
These spring tails are probably always super happy when they get picked to live in a terrarium xD
Your work inspired me to make my own terrarium. It's so much fun watching all kinds of insects grow in it.
Thats really cool! What soil did you use?
Ohhh I wanna make something like this but for our common giant Milipede, it's always so fun just watching them grow along with everything in the tank/container
That glass container is cool. The rounder shapes always look the best on terrarium or aquariums in my opinion.
The part that makes his terrarium pop is he uses short plants and moss up front giving you more to see. Also uses healthy plants. No flaws on them before they go into terrarium
Lovely build as always. I'm sure the little guy, I mean ferocious predator, will be very happy. 😊
Thank you!😅😃
This species does not feel happiness.
This is my favorite build of all time, i love the idea of it being in the middle and not built up on the sides.
Love the new video, wish I could visit the room with all terrariums in!
I HATE centipedes but watching you put such care into helping it thrive warms my heart just the same. ❤
Pom-Pom a cute name for a cute lil guy❤❤
Obviously.... That centipede needs to be called Bob.
Love the design. Very neat and simple
Thank you!
That is an enchanting piece! Alone it is perfect. ❤ and Fred is a great name 😊
Centipedes are escape artists, and they burrow, so keep that lid closed folks! If there's a way out, they'll learn about it!
it's nice to see that one person makes interesting videos about this topic, terrariums are great topic, even if you put soil from outside in jar, it's beatifull to see how everything change, evolves and imagine: how it will look 10 years later? i admire you, because you choose something else than everyone, make more videos, because small amount of people know about this insane things you making with terrariums, good luck :}
Serpa design has done terrarium updates after years :) i recommend his videos .
Beautiful piece! So want to create pieces like this!
The terrarium looks like a dormant volcano ❤
Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝
Would love to see a desert world for a scorpion, or tarantula!
I’m terrified of Centipedes but the terrarium was a delight to witness
You deserve million sub😢

Tree Frog: “Hey!! Put that back..”
I'm so glad i found this! Also I think a good name for our little friend could be Tawny :D
Those "venomous claws" are called TOXICOGNATHS! 😊❤
I love all of your videos, I hope you make some videos touring us all of your terrariums❤
I think the best way to get more people into terrariums is making a kit with everything they need
This is insanely cool
Plz make another waterfall paludarium
Serpa the centipede has nice ring to it 😀
Yeah, I built one with a 7 inch centipede that feeds on isopods
Can I add isopods into this ecosystem I really need to know this is for a school project?
Yay an apex predator in a terrarium ❤
wow, creative and make a good terrarium...
that good decoration, if you design with big tanks, I think that very attractive for someone that need rare fish
thanks
Simba the centipede. he has his own Pride (lava) Rock.
i think the springtails will be very happy to be part of the ecosystem (circle of life)
i always love your vids there so cool❤
Thanks!!😃
For the springtails, how to store them, or what is the best way to keep them, in my country seller keep them in coco fiber.
What caused the mist? It made the terrarium hauntingly beautiful. Is the mist harmful if not released?
This guy is good
The super glue and tissue is smart but also baking soda and super glue works to create a mix similar to plastic and can be sanded down and painted to fox alot of things
W design
Hi i love your videos. I made one of terrarium ideas and its growing. It already been 1 month😊😊
Do you have to add supplementary food to this or do the springtails reproduce enough for a constant food source
when did you do this
Beautiful!!
Very lovely, call it Roger.
Sooo beatiful
Superglue will leech chemicals and fumes for a long time doesn't matter if it'd fully cured or not

Finally! We got the bug!
You should get a stone Centipede so it's more comfortable with the lava rock
Name it Venom
Is a substrate barrier neceserry? In the other video you put soil, grift and sand without it.
nice one bro
Thanks!
you are a fan of nature
How often if ever do you test the pH of the soil? What is an ideal pH level for a bioactive enclosure?
Cam you use isopods as well ?
Cool video
does the terrarium have to be this big? can I make it in a smaller airtight jar?
First comment with first view ❤
This is fantastic..I really love to make terrarium...thanks for giving us ideas..
Hello!! I really appreciate your content and thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. I was wondering if it was possible to insert another kind of Apex predator in a terrarium, like a jumping spider. What do you think?
Thank you
I love ur vids
Thank you!
@TerrariumDesigns your welcome and i just finished ur vid and i really like the build
does anyone know where to get cool glass vases like that?
anyone here? is that a fog of oxygen at 8:13?
No oxygen is almost always clear, that is just fog from the water
Also how often should you mist this ecosystem?
I have question. i made a new terrarium like a week ago and every morning i wake up it fogging i do wipe down the glass and leave the lids off it for at least 2 hrs but i still having the same issues... please advise thank you
Please make a bonsai ecosystem for an animal you see fit!
It’s awsome
Your terrariums are so cool i wish i could make one but if i could do you have and tips?
I can’t be the only one who’s spotted the upside down praying mantis in one of terrariums in the back
very cool
Beautiful👌
do you have any seller links for Canada?
My daughter is gonna freak, she rewatches these constantly 😁
Great vid!! Quick question - when watering the bromeliads is it necessary to use some sort of mineral water? Thanks!
I was here thinking if this terrarium wouldn't be too small for a centipede, but for some reason I did not realise that there are also tiny centipedes. This one is simply perfect for it.
That terrarium is real pretty, but when you finally put the centipede in my skin started crawling. I have fear of centipedes 😅
Wonderful but won’t your tiny predator wipe out the springtails and you’ll lose you clean up squad?
Nice
- 1:20 Can you show us you mixing the ingredients/components together in another video !? As well as how to get these components!? Thanks 😊 🫂.

What do you use to make the terrarium foggy?
I think that was just the steam build up from evaporation, he did have a 12 hour LED cycle after all
Nope im 100% sure it wasnt, i have something just like it and it never happens. instead everthing just condensates@@ChowdiusPupperMemusII
Why does the acrylic lid have holes on it?
How do you cut the acrylic to size for the lids?
Trying to find a predator for this, any suggestions?
Would you recommend changing the screen out every so often so it doesn't rust? DO they rust?
They shouldnt rust with proper drainage, the plants play a part for that, they should last for a few years im sure before decomposing.
My son wants the book but we live in another country and we do not have that type of currency .
Bro the mantis in the background
super cool! where did you buy the centipede?
Earth
@@aristology6912is that a store?
His name shall be Paul!
I will name it Teepy.
Thought I might mention, No ventilation could be very bad to the health of your centipede. They are quite susceptible to mycosis and depending on species it can be quite the problem. Though I don't know if this even matters with common stone centipedes to be fair. From my understanding they don't live long and make quite a terrible species. It depends if you care but they typically disappear in a larger enclosure with most people just never being able to find it. Substrate choice is good. They are small so the moss carpet should be a problem. If you wanted to introduce some people to a acceptance to centipedes there are some easy and bigger species like Scolopendra Cingulata which might do well in terrariums, Alot of the Asian ones are cool but can be a hassle, from my experience they do great in them. Just throwing some ideas that id find cool out there
Appreciate you sharing some knowledge!
@@TerrariumDesigns Do a terrarium for the smallest frog you can possibly find please, with pinhead crickets isopods and millipedes as its food inside the tank!
i was looking for a comment like this, thank you!
Name idea: You should name it flame
What does the centipede eat
leave them alone for a hundred years like fine wine, and see the slight genetic drift
I caught 2 centipedes the other day. Put them in a container I got from the pet store. Got spooked by a centipede crawl on my foot in the shower. Then went to dump the container I had them in and didn’t see any centipede 😂
So theres a song called centipede, its an agressive electro type genre
So maybe you should name the centipede after one of the creators of the song, Rob or Gareth
I'm new to the this terrarium building stuff, but I've certainly turned into a big fan! I'd like to ask for advice. Is a terrarium that is home to woodslice, centipenedes, common tropical geckos and breans sprouts a good mix?
My only concern would be your geckos eating a centipede, and the centipede being poisonous (as some are).
Bean sprouts are an interesting idea, though you'd get bean stalks in no time most likely :D
All in all: yes, but research what kind of centipedes are non-poisonous, and which kind of woodlice like the same climate as your geckos (temp/humidity).
The white dwarf woodlice often get used as terrarium cleanup crew, so those probably work.
