    The isopod terrarium looks amazing!! Like you carved out a piece of a bottom forest or wood, and put it in a glass/plastic box to showcase in your home. You inspire a lot of people with your DIY projects. The end result of your DIY projects always come out to be cool little fish tanks, terrariums etc that is made out of products from hardware or home improvement stores or even supermarkets like Walmart.
    You show that you can use pretty much anything like a plastic bin or something to build a terrarium, small fish tank, breeder tank etc for a small amount of money. And that you don’t need to spend a ton of money on some brand name aquarium or terrarium products

      Except the fact he used sopping wet substrate and plants from his dirty driveway... and he's trying to teach us stuff with no idea what he's doing. Had to say it as an experienced isopod breeder.

    I love it! I have always been amazed with terrariums and now I'm going to build my own for isopods I will be getting! Who know having rollie pollies as pets was a thing?!? I played with them outside when growing up. I love them!

    I havent been on youtube much lately but when i saw the title and that it was your video, i clicked on it right away! I like your content and love isopods! You mentioned Tanner from Serpa squad, i dont know if youve checked out Ants Canada but he has great terrarium, vivarium, and riparium designs too, maybe you can do a three-way collaboration or challenge, thatd be cool to see. Look forward to more content 😁

    What did you do for ventilation? Can't just leave the top off or they will climb out. Surprised that you completely omitted this.

  • @BaronOfHell666
    @BaronOfHell666 Před 10 hodinami

    Looks great but having it go up to the top edge might be a problem. It is fine when the lid is on but when off the little guys can escape. Then they'll take over your home and kick you out or worse put you in a glass box. I see this happen all the time.

    And using plants from your driveway will have tons of pollutants on it from car exhaust, oils, and fertilizer runoff and isopods are extremely sensitive to that.

    Looks good i need to do some display enclosures for my Merulanella since they are day active. The only thing i would do differently is use soaked hardwood pellets instead of coconut coir and add some oolitic sand in for a calcium source.

    That is a pretty nice looking terrarium. What are the dimensions on it because I initially thought it was much larger based on the snapshot(excellent camera work) and I love that dragon stone in the Halloween build. Very nicely done, sir, and you have a new subscriber.

    I have to say the cloth barrier makes it look quite ugly and negates all the effort and care you put into making this otherwise nice little thing. I would think just cutting the barrier exactly to size or just ever so slightly oversized would make this a lot better.

I do not owe anybody any apology, ESPECIALLY not for an honest opinion and leaving nothing but constructive criticism.. you read to much hostility into my previous comment and that is on you and not me. you are right about one thing though!! variety and diversity does make life more interesting and beautiful, does not change the fact that one can grow and evolve and talking about differences and exchanging knowledge and opinions is actually a good thing.. even when they are sometimes negative. take it easy and not read to much negativity into every youtube comment^^ I know some people are hostile here on the internet, but not every negative comment is actually a bad comment;) ..
