    Your terrariums are beautiful. After watching a few of your videos I decided to make a terrarium with my 5 year old daughter, using your information as a guide. I think she is going to love it.

    The spider wood makes the scale appear smaller, whereas without it, the rocks look more grand in size than they actually are. Either way looks lovely.

    Hi! I prefer the more minimalistic look without spiderwood, but I have two questions if you don't mind. Do you had to refill the pond in 5 weeks? And then, for how many hours do the led light run?
    Thank you, really nice scape!

    I have been intrigued with terrariums since I first learned about them in the fourth grade. I have thought I’d like to have one, but didn’t really know how to build one. I like your videos with your clear instructions. I especially like this larger one that you made in this video. But I have a question. Would a small turtle or even a frog live in this kind of environment? I think I would like something in mine besides just bugs. Thank you.

  • @ianteo626
    @ianteo626 Рік тому +1

    I liked the scape without spider wood as the large rocks and flat ground made the scape look bigger than it is, I think the spider wood would've worked better if they were thinner/smaller, complementing the large rocks.
    Either way it's a beautiful scape! :)

  • @phantomology404

    I recently tried to create a pond in an ecosphere, but it didn't work for some MIRACULOUS reason. The water always somehow ESCAPED from the small plastic container, that I used as a pond, and I have NO FRIKKEN IDEA, why that happened.
    1. The container didn't have any holes.
    2. The water did not evaporate, because the time was too short.
    3. The water did not run out of the container, because the container wasn't angled that much.
    4. I even took care, that there wasn't any moss hanging into the pond wicking the water out of it.
    This really drove me nuts.
