I had a lot of fun with this build and it makes me even more excited for some future projects that I hope to do in the next few months. Also, the beetles are so fun to have around and I’d highly recommend giving them a try if you ever come across them. Anyway, enjoy the video, have a great weekend, and let me know what you think of the project!

Absolutely incredible, and awe inspiring. In the future, would you be able to do more arid setups?

One of the things I love about Tanner is that he doesn’t consider any of the animals in his care as disposable. From the springtails all the way up to the biggest reptiles, every creature is given the best possible environment so that they don’t just survive, they thrive and are happy. It’s inspiring and beautiful

one thing that i'd love for sure is a quick bio on the animals you're working with at the beginning of each video. like their common and scientific names, their lifespan and size in the wild and in captivity, and anything else you'd feel is important to know about the animals. absolutely loved this one!

I was wondering about them too, and what do they eat? How long do they live and if they breed, do they lay eggs, or carry them.. etc. It goes without saying, that the enclosure is fantastic!

I find that the quality of someone’s character can often be determined by the care and compassion he puts into the smallest creatures. And my guy gave some beetles the most beautiful arid setup I’ve ever see.

Agreed. I even try to give my feeder insects a great home. It's nothing like what he did as it's a bin but it has dirt moss, rocks and bark for the bugs to hide and thrive. I try to give them a natural home instead of just having them in a tiny critter keeper with Cartoon.

i would love a video of just b-roll of all the critters in their habitats with soothing music over it!

I just had a random urge to look for desert-themed beetle terrariums, so I searched up "desert terrarium" and this is the first result I get! It's strange because it's exactly what I was looking for, and it was JUST uploaded 30 minutes ago!

Really cool Vivarium and such funky little critters! As someone else already mentioned, maybe you could include some more facts about the animal or leave a link to some information? Your channel really helps making people curious about animals and their habitats. At least for me the question of "could I keep an animal like this?" arrises from time to time. You providing some more facts about what keeping the animal entails would add to that

Unfortunately most care information about these beetles is not the best but they're not hard to care for. Just make sure they have burrowable substrate (not just sand), keep them on a low sugar diet and keep them a little above room temp and they will be a lot happier than in a box of sand lol

Its not hard to do your own research. Just type "blue death feigning beetles" into youtube or google.

Love it! It's funny, those beetles are an accent to their own vivarium. That blue color really pops against the background scape. Beautiful job.

IDK why but i love watching these videos. It takes a lot of research and dedication to do this. Also patience.

When doctor plants and serpa make arid vivariums with the same species on the same day, it’s a good day.

I work at a natural science museum, and we have some of these on display in the insects exhibit. I really fell in love with them and now I want to get some of my own and build them a beautiful home like this

Some of my favorite videos of yours are your non aquarium builds. Fish are awesome, but seeing some less common species like these beetles or spiders and praying mantis (as you’ve done in the past) is very cool to see. Great work as always, you are the gold standard with scaping and animal care!

Recently been trying to think of ways to enhance my leopard gecko enclosure and this has really helped. Such a beautiful Terrarium!

As someone that lives in dry hot Arizona, this set up looks amazing! The reddish sand really brings the right feel. And while it's true that the plants would usually be more spaced out (or under a tree to leech water and get protective shade) the fun part about having an Inspired-By set up is that you have artistic liberty to spice things up how you see fit. I think the amount of plants is perfect, it's like a condensed section of desert.

Wow I love the red/orange sand against the blue beetles, it really makes them pop!

OMG are they adorable! Walking blueberries that play dead. Another beautiful job. I would be proud to have that in my home

Awesome built as always. You always find such interesting animals. These beetles are so cute 😊

I've had my beetles for almost a year now, and I love them. I'm glad to see them get some recognition since they are very easy to care for and are very fun to watch and hold. Would love to move them into a setup like this one day

I would love if this setup was on live cam with some relaxing lo-fi playing…..I would watch that for hours 😊 these beetles are so interesting

Cool! I had never heard of Blue fainting death beetles before this build. Thank you!

I never knew I would love beetles, they look awesome I have to get some.

Yooooo blue berry beetles let’s gooooo hahah

This is freaking awesome. Those blue beetles a very cool looking.

I’ve always wanted you to do something like this. It looks beautiful and I already can’t wait for the next video.

I’m still amazed by the amount of ideas and time you dedicate to these videos, we love you and the animals Tanner keep it up❤

Honestly one of the most interesting scapes you've done so far! Arid and non tropical enviroments require such a different type of scaping and this one for some good beetles is worth it!

BUGS BUGS BUGS! I love this! What good little blueberries! The succulents and airplants look great too - I really look forward to seeing this build's progress.

Way to capture the minimalistic but stunning beauty of a desert landscape! As someone who has lived most of their life in a desert, it is so fun to see you bring a desert’s unique beauty to life in your scape! Thanks for sharing!!

This enclosure looks so stunning! You really outdid yourself here!

Those beetles seem neat, something I would consider keeping if I kept my home warmer. Thank you for the detailed build!

i am a 12 year old boy, and you have inspired me to make little ecosystems in jars, thank you and good luck with the beetles

Really interesting to see a setup that is so different than the ones you usually do. Looks awesome!

These little blue beetle are some of my favorite animals ever. Loved the whole build and can't wait for your next desert style build!

I wish you would design for every zoo in the world!!! I LOVED THIS ONE! The music was amazing too... That guitar at the end...

WOW I really like that setup especially the overall orange colour compliments the dusty blue beetles and makes them pop!

One of your bests! Love the concept of a desert vivarium.

Being that I was raised in a desert environment, and that I was always a wildlife nut,...this reminded me of my childhood. What a beautiful setup!

I've never heard of blue feigning death beetles before now, but they have to be some of the cutest insects I've ever seen.

Oh my gosh those beetles are so cute! That is not a phrase i have EVER said before, lol, but they are. Love the scape! I have a lot of succulents and this was fun to see.

It looks amazing!! Also, i would really like to see what the finished product looks like in the animal room as a whole. A little zoom out would look so cool imo

Can you do a feeding video for all of your animals? That will be great

Love the Desert theme.

I love how you narrate your videos, very good command of language and soothing to listen to.

OMG YES we are getting ever closer to a TARANTULA HOME!!!!! 😁 Saw these blue beetles on Aquarimax Pets the other day.. they the new craze? I understand why!! Anyway, back to the video! 😅 Okay, what a fantastic home you've given these guys! Rus from Aquarimax Pets will be super jealous haha! Kudos for dipping your hands into different types of biomes and flora/fauna.. excited to see what you've got coming up!!

Are you considering doing leopard gecko or hognose snake? They both allow for very creative and versatile arid tanks

(I miss your old studio.) Thrilled for your new beginning though! Love to you and your fam and Thank you for the great inspiration.

I have absolutely no interest in beetles, but I watched every second of this video. Loved it. I really love your aquatic builds, but this was amazing.

It looks lovely my man. Have you ever thought about keeping ant especially in a setup similar to this?

The only thing missing is a snake ! Wondeful vivarium, as always !

my only problem is your vids aren't long enough. I need more. MOARR

It's good to see a vivarium build again. The aquariums are cool, but I love vivariums just a tad more

I absolutely love this build! I would really like to keep these beetles in the future.

Golly, everything is perfect! Your narration and precise explanation is amazing. Your project turned out beautifully! What an inspiration for my own vivarium project, thank you!!!

Love it! I’ve often thought I’d enjoy an arid “terrarium.”

You find the most interesting creatures to create homes for!

Beetles with succulents is such a good idea... they look perfect together! So cute!

This Chanel saved my life, if I never found this hobby I honestly don’t know where I would be. Thank you for keeping me sane Tanner🙏🏽❤️

This has to be my favorite thing you ever did. This is just perfect top to bottom is the most beautiful inclose project

The production value is just through the roof

Those beetles are pretty cool, never really considered having some as a pets before now!

omg they are so cute!! the tank is beautiful, they'll be living the high life

Those beetles are living the lives of kings

love the plant life in this one

Frickin’ amazing! I gasped at the spider branch 😲 Wow!!

Damn, this is so good. I especially love the step by step with the glass and excavator clay

Gorgeous animals deserve a gorgeous home 😊

An absolutely lovely departure from ur normal, lush content. Beautiful.

bro i love these beetles i’ve watched this video three times

Wow, this thing is somehow *exceptionally* beautiful!!

These little beetles are so cute!

This is my favourite setup you've ever done!!!

lovely work man, don't see enough like this i keep insect, beetles and things like this and they are great to watch

I remember talking to you about death feigning beetles at a reptile expo a while back and have been eagerly waiting to see this build! Did not disappoint!

just when i think you can't outdo yourself, you really just blow us away! it's inspiring

I absolutely love blue death feigning beetles. I have 6 of them. I also have them as a tattoo! They're such silly little guys.

This is a sweet build, the ruddy brown of the sand and grey browns of the rock really set off the beetles and plants, it makes the whole thing pop visually. It’s nice to see you doing an insect build, would be cool to see you do more. With summer coming around the corner it would be really neat to see a pond build with a focus on invertebrate life, scuds and wild snails and maybe something like a giant water or some dragonfly nymphs bug as a centrepiece.

Thank you serpadesign for finally putting out the exact video I have been pining for ever since I got my own BDFBs. I've used the bearded dragon video as reference before but man. This is it

It´s a deceptivly simple looking vivarium, but verry well thought out and with a genuine feel for the details and the thought you put into it! I really like it, it is as good as it gets!!! 👍👏

Replicating the beautiful and unbelievable creation of nature..... I bow for your work man ❤️💯

I’m fascinated and repulsed at the same time. 😂 nicely done!

you are amazing in what you do and the creatures look so comfortable too

Those are some lucky beetles, you've creayed an amazing scape, I love the beetles, they're cool 😎
