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? 😨
@@olivierl2172 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
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
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?
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
Obviously.... That centipede needs to be called Bob.
That glass container is cool. The rounder shapes always look the best on terrarium or aquariums in my opinion.
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.
Love the new video, wish I could visit the room with all terrariums in!
Pom-Pom a cute name for a cute lil guy❤❤
The terrarium looks like a dormant volcano ❤
Plz make another waterfall paludarium
I love all of your videos, I hope you make some videos touring us all of your terrariums❤
Love the design. Very neat and simple
Thank you!
Beautiful piece! So want to create pieces like this!
Would love to see a desert world for a scorpion, or tarantula!
That is an enchanting piece! Alone it is perfect. ❤ and Fred is a great name 😊
Fantastic 👍 looks so beautiful 🤩
Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝

Tree Frog: “Hey!! Put that back..”
Serpa the centipede has nice ring to it 😀
Great vid!! Quick question - when watering the bromeliads is it necessary to use some sort of mineral water? Thanks!
that good decoration, if you design with big tanks, I think that very attractive for someone that need rare fish
thanks
I’m terrified of Centipedes but the terrarium was a delight to witness
Hi i love your videos. I made one of terrarium ideas and its growing. It already been 1 month😊😊

Finally! We got the bug!
Beautiful!!
You deserve million sub😢
Can I add isopods into this ecosystem I really need to know this is for a school project?
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
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 .
This is insanely cool
wow, creative and make a good terrarium...
Beautiful👌
Do you have to add supplementary food to this or do the springtails reproduce enough for a constant food source
I think the best way to get more people into terrariums is making a kit with everything they need
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'm so glad i found this! Also I think a good name for our little friend could be Tawny :D
Yay an apex predator in a terrarium ❤
very cool
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
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.
i always love your vids there so cool❤
Thanks!!😃
Cool video
What caused the mist? It made the terrarium hauntingly beautiful. Is the mist harmful if not released?
How do you cut the acrylic to size for the lids?
It’s awsome
Name it Venom
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.
does anyone know where to get cool glass vases like that?
How often if ever do you test the pH of the soil? What is an ideal pH level for a bioactive enclosure?
Also how often should you mist this ecosystem?
Nice
Sooo beatiful
Very lovely, call it Roger.
This is fantastic..I really love to make terrarium...thanks for giving us ideas..
Yeah, I built one with a 7 inch centipede that feeds on isopods
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
You should get a stone Centipede so it's more comfortable with the lava rock
nice one bro
Thanks!
does the terrarium have to be this big? can I make it in a smaller airtight jar?
Centipedes are escape artists, and they burrow, so keep that lid closed folks! If there's a way out, they'll learn about it!
do you have any seller links for Canada?
This guy is good
❤
Please make a bonsai ecosystem for an animal you see fit!
super cool! where did you buy the centipede?
Earth
@@aristology6912is that a store?
W design
My daughter is gonna freak, she rewatches these constantly 😁
First comment with first view ❤
I love ur vids
Thank you!
@TerrariumDesigns your welcome and i just finished ur vid and i really like the build
I HATE centipedes but watching you put such care into helping it thrive warms my heart just the same. ❤
Superglue will leech chemicals and fumes for a long time doesn't matter if it'd fully cured or not
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
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.
Trying to find a predator for this, any suggestions?
A true tiny Giant
when did you do this
Wonderful but won’t your tiny predator wipe out the springtails and you’ll lose you clean up squad?
Make terrarium for jumping spider
That terrarium is real pretty, but when you finally put the centipede in my skin started crawling. I have fear of centipedes 😅
His name shall be Paul!
I thought you were actually put a Scolopendra in there... by the way centipedes cannot climb glass so you didn't have to block the holes on the lid
I will name it Teepy.

I have an outdoor terrarium, and its infested with woodlice! Does anybody know any predators (from the UK) i could add?
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!
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.
Centipedes are underused as predators in terrariums. What could be the reasons?
They give me the absolute creeps
why the fuck is this stuff so entertaining
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 😂
👍
What does the centipede eat
2:10 I seen your Asian mantis its gotten so big since we have seen it
leave them alone for a hundred years like fine wine, and see the slight genetic drift
We want to name the millipede Kelsie
Name idea: You should name it flame
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
