    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

    @TheScolopendraMetuendaMan Рік тому +2

    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

    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?

    • @egregius9314
      @egregius9314 Рік тому

      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.
