*To Answer Questions:* Water: Water inside will eventually evaporate (but can't leave the container) and turn into water vapor, this vapor will then hit the cold glass and condense forming droplets. The water droplets will then move down the glass and back into the soil. Centipedes: There is a population of them and they're breeding. The reason they don't "kill all the isopods" is because the jar can only support a small population of centipedes. They are cannibals and will eat each other if too many are born. Oxygen: Plants and Algae create Oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is created by animals and bacteria from oxygen. Where do nutrients come from?: The soil. How do I make this?: I have multiple videos on my channel showing the creation process of different ecosystems.

the centipede dynamics are highly interesting. is there any work on cannibalism as an auto-regulation strategy for isolated carnivorous animals? it seems to be two negative feedback loops (cannibalism and isopod population decrease) that keeps them in the right balance. surface area may also play a role. obviously the whole system is more complex, but maybe this jar could be accurately modeled.

Like let's say if the centipedes ended up accidentally eating themselves, They die then the isopod population grows out of control and they could drive the plant life to extinction which would then possibly kill off the isopods.

And what if the universe is yet another jar inside of another even greater cosmos?

@@tw1zt84 No inbreeding avoidance has ever been discovered in insects, as far as I'm aware. If anything, they show kin preference. So the higher inbreeding coefficients in this environment keeps the mutation loads down and means that over the course of generations, they become extremely resilient thanks to advantageous recessive phenotypes being expressed. Them being inbred would be nothing but beneficial in this environment.

Love this video. Definitely my favorite terrarium

Loved when the centipede crawled out. I absolutely live this. It is your version of Horton Hears a Who. Love this.

I love closed terrariums, they seem wildly underrated compared to open terrariums. I have one I made out of a 5 gallon wine glass jar, the larger opening allowed me to get creative with the decor. I look at that thing every single day and try to see what changed or is in the process of changing. I've seen whole life cycles come and go. It's extremely fascinating. Had it for about 4 years now

I would love to see that! Im using a 5 or 6 gallon jug as well. Im trying to make a present for my son when hes born. Im doing a water layer with jungle val and 2 snail species on the bottom. Theyve been stable for a few months now so im wanting to get started on the soil layer which will be suspended above. Id love to either see a video or even just hear from you what sorts of life you have inside and roughly how hot/cold and dry/humid it is etc. 4 years is very impressive!

People keep asking about the water but closed terrariums don't need to be watered more than once. The water inside will eventually evaporate (but can't leave the container) and turn into water vapor, this vapor will then hit the cold glass and condense forming droplets. The water droplets will then move down the glass and back into the soil. This is basic water cycle stuff. As for the centipede questions which I keep seeing posted here in the video he/she said CENTIPEDES! There is more than 1 centipede. There was even 2 shown in the video. They're breeding in there and I saw on another comment that Jartopia said they even control their own numbers though cannibalism. Hope this clears up some of the questions you guys are asking. EDIT: You people don't even know plants produce oxygen? Or that plants slowly release water through transpiration? Or that soil has nutrients in it? Did most of you guys even go to school??? The amount of dumb questions I am getting on this comment is insane

@Chris D'oulmeth Diminishing return is more about the point that you get less productivity if you overuse a factor. I guess what you mean is the Liebig law of the minimum, which state that you can not increase the productivity above the lowest factor. But in the case the Terrarium isn´t sealed to 100%, i think the humidity in the glass balancing it self out with the humidity of the room. Even if the lamp heats the glass and there for would made it drier, it would it only dried up to a certain point. Given the variables dosn´t change that much, but hey this system works for 12 years!

The natural selection. Think about the strong isopod survivors everytime the centipedes predate a lot of them, the next generation of isopods would be stronger and would be able to recover from their little population. The gene pool is also constantly changing too because of these little conditions changing.

Inspired by this video, I made my own terrarium in a jar and it's been closed for about a year. It has a thriving springtail and millipede population, and a couple of roly-polies. When it first staryed out I saw a bunch of those small transparent worms, but I haven't seen any in a while. I put some weeds in at the beginning and it now looks like a mini forest in there. I originally only put one millipede in but I think it laid eggs and there are easily about 20. Really fun thing to do with kids especially!
