    Wrap the roots withSphagnum moss before placing it in the cork bark. The will keep the roots from drying out to quickly. Great set ups. 🙌

    I'm sure someone has probably helped with the plant names but if not I wanted to at least try. I want to say plant 1 looks like rhaphidophora decursiva, that or possibly a type of monstera. Plant 2 is a peperomia but I just don't know the exact kind within that species of plant. Plant 3 is a philodendron micans. The peperomia likes to dry out before watering again but are very capable of living in a nice humid environment. They all practically thrive on it. Plants 1 & 2 will both vine and if conditions are good, their leaves will get enormous. The first if it is either of the two mentioned will also fenstrate. I am a houseplant person and if you ever need or want help, I'm always willing to try. Love your videos and look forward to future updates on your terrariums. 💚

    Plant one looks like a scindapsus it’s kind of like pothos, the second plant looks like either a begonia or a peperomia, the third plant is a philodendron micans which also grows like a pothos. These plants don’t need much water they are prone to root rot if they are overwatered.

      @@TheDarkDen No. 2 is definitely some kind of cane begonia.
      If you like begonias in your enclosures, you need to check out begonia amphioxus. It’s one of the cutest plants for any high humidity environment, imo. The price really came down the last few years, so you should easily find one for under 10€. 😊

    Love the enclosures! I just recently got my 1st tarantula. A Tliltoclatl albopilosus female about 4 inches. She's so chill and has finally started using her burrow I made, and she's dug clear across the enclosure. Your videos have been the reason I've wanted one! Keep up the great work

  • @ethanmccormack9561

    Couple of ideas, the volcanic rock could be used for your assassin beetles as the colours would look good together. You should change the sand of 1 of your 6 eyed sand spiders to the black Icelandic sand as that would be really cool and the colours would pop especially if you did slow mo feeding clip

The feeling of a shelf complete is a fantastic feeling, I really enjoy watching you decorate the enclosures, I think we need to see that!
