Giant DIY 600 Gallon Jungle Vivarium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- In this one, I finally setup, plant, and showcase the new 600 gallon vivarium! It's been in the works for a really long time now and I'm so excited to finally have it done! I've been working on it for the past year or so, but I've been talking about it for much longer than that.
In some cases I wanted to keep this build simple. Plus my vision for it always was just a jungle scape full of plants. I didn't care to add a water feature or anything like that. I also WILL stock it at some point. After all the work I put into this, I'd rather have it season for a little while fist. I'm fairly certain I know what I want living in here, but I'm open to suggestions - let me know what you think in the comments!
Also, if you want to know how I built the enclosure itself, check out the below video. It was pretty easy to do to and not very expensive. I used a lot of scrape materials and simple techniques to make it happen.

What do you think of this vivarium? I don't know about you, but I love it! It looks much better in person obviously, but I hope you enjoyed seeing it through the lens nonetheless. Also, I WILL stock it at some point. I'm fairly certain I know what I want living in here, but I'm open to suggestions - let me know what you think!
I love it! These big projects are a joy to watch!! 🌱👏
LOL
Can’t help but think tree frogs or dart frogs would look amazing in here!
@@carterthefrog1673 hahahaha like every 3 month gettin a milion extra
Panther chameleon!!!! That would look absolutely magnificent!
I always say, give your pets a house, not just a room 😁 But anything you put in there will love it
Stoned asf in Australia came across this and have been watching it without sound for 10 minutes without realising bc I'm so fascinated n well baked
Another Aussie here about to go on a mushy trip 😁
I've been down this smoke and terrarium videos for 8 days. I'm about to turn my whole house into a terrarium
@@matthewkeesler1871 check out Ants Canada, ongoing series about a huge one this guy made with a full ecosystem!
Never thought I'd be looking forward to a weekly show about a terrarium but it's amazing! Think I need to make one in the near future too,
You are truly living your life out there.
Stoned out here, north of Dallas, Texas in McKinney. And I’m listening to it with sound and I’m like 2X as thrilled as I would be without sound. Do you think that if we all turned the inside of our houses into vivariums and the earth lost its atmosphere that we would be able to survive? 😅 cool
And that’s why Josh’s frogs plants are never in stock when I need them
lol yeah
it’s all tanner’s fault
I think he actually gets most of his plants from home depot
@@TobyCreates some of them lol not the crypts and the broms though that’s for sure
😭😭🤣🤣 I'm glad I'm not the only one who went there but we love you Tanner!
I could watch at this for hours without beeing bored.
Got you to 100 likes lol
Maybe on mute.
Same
Being*
Same here
I love how tanner envisions the scape and uses nature and natural scenes to create an indoor scape. Almost as if he takes the scene straight from nature to his home, its amazing. Quite a gift he has.
When I get rich, (soon), I will have almost this exact set up but floor to ceiling. Unreal set up. So impressive. Thanks for sharing.
are you rich yet
You rich yet?
Rich yet?
Alr bucko u porlly like 10
Are you rich
This is honestly one of the most impressive tanks I’ve seen hands down! As for the creatures to live in here I think leachianus, or tokay geckos would be amazing. Emerald tree skinks would also be beautiful in this enclosure. Which ever way you go I’m sure the animal that ends up in this mini jungle will live a amazing life
Those were my exact same suggestions 😂😂 I also mentioned a monkey tailed skink as well
Oh, scratch that, I said emerald tree monitor, not skink. But both would be ideal!
I was just thinking I wish I had a tank like this for my leachie
@@DoorsToHideBehind156 I thought he said a skank...in that case I can send him phone numbers to a couple of my exes. 🤣
I truly cannot put into words how perfect that looks. Whatever little animal ends up in there is lucky!
My guess is a green tree monitor
@@myname1syurname418 that’s a good guess, I’m thinking some species of arboreal large lizard
@@myname1syurname418 A green tree will ruin all the plants, definitely not a good option
A green tree python would look awesome in there!
@@myname1syurname418 he should put tree frogs
Imagine the ✨FRESHNESS✨ of the air in his room!
Yey
Normal people: oh man it’s so stuffy, let’s get an air purifier
Serpa: let’s make the amazon rainforest lmao
considering all the animals. probably smells like crap.... doesnt meant the quality isnt good. just the smell.
@@gatorpack5542 I imagine a smell of wood and moss(?).
@@christianfox3642 I am currently in my reptile room. can confirm reptile crap smells worse than any other crap. especially when it gets very humid or soaked.
I'd love to see an update on this two years later
i think he said it broke a while ago when moving
amazing... actually thinking of building something like this in the near future along a wall of dead space in my kitchen.. dont know how to go about it but i gladly take the challenge.. Love the channel !! and thank you for inspiring!!
Jesus Love you come home! Religion won’t save you nor goodness but Christ alone from what you deserve. But God is so Good! Find rest and be changed forever more! Have supernatural peace and more!

@@dmp-9734 Halleluya, may the light hit you in all the right places and reproduce..
Is it me or with his shirt he looks like shaggy from Scooby doo
Make a video about it!, i’d like to take an idea of so since it sounds so cool and fascinating because im also thinking of doing the same concept of his enclosure it’ll really help and be satisfying.
@@dmp-9734 huh
Tanner, I just want to thank you.
My 6-year-old son has a huge fear of creepy crawlies, and he is slowly overcoming this fear thanks to watching your channel.
Last summer, I made a jam jar terrarium after watching your 'how to make a terrarium for free' video. I hoped it would show my boy how bugs are an important part of life and (where we live) completely harmless. He wasn't interested. But since then, a year later, the terrarium is thriving, the flora looks incredible, and the isopods had babies. And one day it finally piqued my son's interest.
Since then, we have made another terrarium together, my son has been handling ants, worms, isopods, and almost picked up a spider while hunting for hardscape, moss, and isopods to include. I can't believe the turnaround.
Thank you, Tanner!
amazing!
that's so great, happy for him!
Of course he was scared, he was 6.
@@Luis-ou9fn Age is not a defining factor for fear of insects. Plenty of 6 year old will pick up bugs and play with them.
@@thechocolateraisin86 fax
As a plant nerd, yes, pls go over all the plants and their lighting requirements that helped you decide where to put them!
Wow, what a plant nerd.
Hush
Yes same here. Im getting plants together for my frog terrarium so need ideas for suitable plants.
You're a plant nerd but you don't know anything about the plants? Is that like being a comic nerd but needing someone to talk you about spider man?
@@SkelNeldory people learn things every day. Being a plant nerd doesn't mean that i know everything about plants. It just means its a hobby of mine that i enjoy.
Omg dude, totally stunned by the beauty. Much love from the Netherlands
Yup me to love from the netherlands
I want to live in it! So incredibly beautiful!
“introducing the shrink Ray!”
@@tined_trout4460 and the indestructible bubble and a teleporter (if you know you know)
Love it. I have done the same thing in my bedroom window. No enclosure. Just vandas on ghost woods which runs horizontally. Also have mood moss perched and two ferns. And a nice humidifier. Lights also and ofcourse the window light as well. So far my tree fern is thriving. Orchids have not died. Love love your scale.
Dude, you're a legend. Keep going and doing what you love.
I'm happy that with the power of UA-cam people can do incredible things like this and still support themselves
Many UA-cam channels are demonitized and have to rely on patreon or other donations. Also, many youtubers make money doing something else, UA-cam brings them customers.
You've outdone yourself with this one, I think. I can only imagine how impressive it must be in person.
I know I've said it before but I love how you've come to refine your technique over the years you've had this channel!! I can't wait to see who you decide to move into the enclosure...
I wish I had the personality, attention to detail, planning ability and focus to do something like this. I’m lucky to remember to eat breakfast.
Oh yea! This one will end up being as gorgeous, if not better than the 8oo & 600 together! I love it! Thanks!
That would be a mansion for crested geckos holy cow
Imagine how the isopods feel hahahahaha. They must be like "WOoooaaahhhhh a jungle !!!"
Would probably be nice for an Emerald Tree Boa as well.
Imagine like 12-15 emerald tree skinks running around or green anoles that would be awesome
To be fair, crested geckos would experience the best possible in their HOME environment. Miles upon miles of land. Keeping them is nice, but let's call a spade a spade.
@@br9760 well what else would you call a spade ? You wouldn't call it a spatula.
You should get some little skinks that setup would be dope and also that setup is sick man keep up the great work
I bet some salamanders might love it too if it stays moist enough
Skinks would not do good in a vertical enclosure
I think op’s talking about tree skinks and a little group of emerald tree skinks would be awesome
@@Graffix1306 there are lots of arboreal skinks like the monkey tail skink or the pink tongue skink
@@301siah4 pink tongues are as well ground skunk I believe
Lots and lots of creativities and sensational solutions.
Your world is getting better by the days
👌😊
While watching this, I learned something new - that SerpaDesign is even cooler than I thought
not going to lie, I binge-watched your videos then fell asleep. Your voice while describing your process is so relaxing
Man, a green tree monitor would look amazing in that setup. Or a group of emerald tree skinks.
Looks amazing 😍😍😍
Hello leopard gecko!
it sure does!
Stop the cap
Stop the cap it looks very very amazing
You mad genius you!!OMG that is amazing to be able lay or sit down and have a small piece of nature rite on your room!Thank you soooo much for sharing this content!!!
This looks amazing! I can't wait to see what animals will get to call this home
Being able to create the beauty of real nature is a gift
I’m genuinely happy I follow this channel
Tanner: Forgive me lord, just this once I must go all out.
I love all the hard work and attention to detail you put into your vivariums. Well done
I’m amazed by the fact those zip ties were able to hold those tree trunks👀
You'd be surprised what a zip tie can hold...
@@Amocles but could it hold your mom
@@Amocles 🙂heehee
Zipties are crazy strong, really a great invention
Some of them can require hundreds of pounds of force to break. Nylon can even be used for nuts and bolts it's so durable.
This might just be my favourite project of yours, can't wait to see how it evolves!
I can’t wait for when he adds the inhabitants in 27 years
Hahahahahaa! Right? :D
lmfaoo
I have to say this must be your best work yet you've created what most of us can really only dream of
when there's a will there's a way!! this isn't attainable for me YET but I aim to make something this glorious in my lifetime!! don't give up
This is a dream ...You are so talented... I wish I knew even half of what you got going on here BEAUTIFUL.....I would love to have this pc of jungle art...Amazing!!!
Wow, you are gifted! So beautiful!
Fascinating to see how, one time more, art and nature become congruent in your builds - thanks a lot for sharing!
My god what a masterpiece. My jaw is on the floor. You are the DaVinci of vivariums. Truly inspiring man.
this looks AMAZING!~ i could imagine seeing this in an upscale hotel lobby or something.
if that does not look great i dont know what looks great in terms of vivarium. great work. keep it up!
Do a remake on this one, amazing work. Cant imagine how your creation is today
This is incredible Tanner, you've really outdone yourself. Congrats on a dream come true
This is incredible. You absolutely went about it the right way though. You've been patient and careful about growing your knowledge through experience. You didn't just jump into this kind of monster build right away. Your experience will pay off tenfold with this beautiful setup. I can't wait to see it establish over the months and turn into a truly active environment for you. Also can't wait to see what lucky critter gets to call it home eventually.
Tanner, you really outdid yourself!! I thought I couldn't love your scapes more but this is gorgeous. My favorite part is the variety of the isopods, they are like little jewels in the vivarium. The care and love you put into these is so evident, it brings such joy to watch!! Thank you so much for sharing your art with us!! :)
Wish I could like this video a 1000x!!! Job well done!!!
this is one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen
I want a room where all the walls are built like this. Maybe with the addition of water falls and pools filled with fish. If I could afford it, I would build it without a second thought.
A waterfall and pool would make this perfect!!
Finally it's big enough so yourself can enjoy the jungle!
This is absolutely amazing art! I so wish I had been able to see amazing talent like yours when I was younger. You are making people's lives better sharing what you do and hopefully inspiring them to create beauty like this! Love it!!
Day geckos would LOVE that tank and they can be cohabbed and you could even add milk frogs to whatever animal you add it will look awesome!
This is gorgeous. I can just imagine it cost a fortune to build. So on that note, you should hire yourself out to rich people to build one for them. If ever I win big in the lottery I would fly you to my new home to build one of these for me. I love it, even without some other creature living in it.
3:30 mr SerpaDesign ( I don't know your name ) I really recomend for your health to wear at least a cheap mask . You were quite close to a semi-close location where a lot of plastic dust could be on the air. A little is ok if someone does it 1 time in his lifetime , but I think you do it often . Your desition but I think you are a nice guy for you to have lung problems.
His full name i think is tanner serpa, not entirely sure tho
That’s thoughtful. Nice
very thoughtful of you. tanner you have great fans
@@deadalind728 Serpa is the name of his brand, I think it's from "serpent". Don't think it's his second name. Could be wrong though :)
I agree with this comment!! Health is important! We all just want the best for him :)
That thing is gonna be even more epic in 3 months or so. You’re a inspiration for sure.
Tanner: Yeah I was working on this 600 gallon for my free time for the last couple days. No biggie
Me: failing at decorating a 20 gallon
Just amazing. When I have a house of my own, with space for a workshop, I'll take up this hobby.
You, sir, are an inspiration. My husband won't stop building enclosures for his forever friends.❤
Get a snake or lizard,or frogs would be really cool in it. Looks wild NICE!
I Think the best Way to describe this build is, breathtaking. Your talent and attention to detail, is really something to be envious of. Great job!
This would be perfect for a Chameleon. If there was a bathtub sort of cavity below, a Caiman Lizard would be good too. Tree Frogs would be cool too. Amazing job though, no matter what you put in there!
That was amazing! You should do a live stream with the music and that as the background for ever and ever.
You seem so relaxed. Thanks for your videos and the effort you put in to feel so relaxed.
I've always dreamed to have these kinds of aquarium
Phenomenal. 😲💚
I suggestion.. perhaps add a mini sound system so that you could seat yourself in front of this and hear jungle sounds (birds, water, etc) and be even more immersed...
Plant life would also really like it I imagine! Yes, I'm a believer in a form of plant consciousness.
I can’t imagine how much dedication this would take. This is incredible😮
That is bloody brilliant! I love watching you work, especially on a big screen TV! Cheers Mate!
I love how you use your time
Who wouldn't love that that amazing THING
Damn, I really want to know what the inhabitants will be! Can't wait!
Thank you for the inspiration.
This looks incredible!
I love watching these videos, they're so relaxing and amazing to watch
It’s like a piece of living. Reaching. Moving. Stretching. Art.
I just became interested in terrariums and now apparently vivariums! This is incredible. I dream to have something like this someday.
I’m completely amazed, I’ve never seen anything like this before! Very exciting. I’ve always dreamed of building a house with the structure part living. I’ve seen people bring rocks and trees in. It would take a hundred years for mine to grow to completion, if it ever would.
Watched a whole bunch of your videos over the past week or two but this one got the sub lol, your truly made a great piece of art. This is definitely better than any piece of art one could have in their home. Also I absolutely love the way you make your video and how you explain everything and name all of your plants. I wish to have these kinds of things in my house one day. Also, 22 years! that's really awesome I'm glad you still love this after so long
Can't wait for an update on this , honestly your work is amazing
It’s amazing how natural looking these enclosures are after you build them! It really looks like a spot in the forest
He is the best
imagine how cool this would be as a chameleon enclosure
I saw the dismantling first, then I was curious. This is so cool! I enjoy building things like this as well! I hope you flourish and never stop!
That was amazing! You're an inspiration my friend, when you said "this has been my dream for a long time" i really felt that! Great job
It looks so beautiful. It is truly a work of art.
As a greenhouse worker, I love all of the plants you chose. There are a bunch of house plants, but they are subtle and all work together to give off the rainforest vibe.
This set-up is asking for a tropical, canopy-dwelling species like a tree frog or gecko. Absolutely beautiful...I wish I had the space for something like this!
You inspired me to build my own vivarium starting from scratch. It is FINALLY almost done with some major set backs (family death) it has taken me FOREVER. I’d love a video showing what plants you where and why.
Ö
14:31 The jungle in the village looks exactly like this. Now I feel like visiting my home.
I was “today years old” when I learned that you had a second channel!
Beautiful. If it were mine I would have sounds coming from it...gentle meditative sounds.
I stumbled upon your videos by accident and they've changed my life
I think everyone should have at least one of these in their house. They're so relaxing
Bro I'd be lucky if I had a house as big as his terrarium.
This is amazing! You're art is always so inspiring!
And yes, please do a complete plant list, that would be so fun. :)
yo, you should put in one of those mist-maker thingies, it would really fit the jungle vibe. Plus, every time you open the enclosure there'd be a bunch of mist that would flow out and look cool (also any amphibians would love it and I'm sure it'd be decent for your plants)
I love the final looks, I do, but the amount of plastic, silicon and other oil derivatives is astonishing.
I made one of these in a house in the moo wild star a few years ago. I didn't know they had a NAME. thank you!
Youre an incredible artist tanner. Its been a pleasure to watch your skills grow throughout the years.
This is amazing, so so good! I've just started in this hobby and built my first paludarium. So much fun. Videos such as these are a huge inspiration.
Beautiful! Have you considered doing a timelapse over several weeks to show the progression of this living art?
You should also add water at the bottom and add shrimp or fish or something. It would look really cool
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!!
