if possible can you make one with scorpion (i don't know if they can live in marsh habitat like centipede since there are many varieties of them but just a request. as a terrarium and aquarium lover would like to see something out of the usual like the centipede one... ) thanks buddy your works and way of explaining stuffs is awesome.

I'm a biologist, but unfortunately, I don't have much experience with vivariums. From the few things I know, I guess it would be possible to make an ecosystem for scorpions, although it would be hard for it to work in such a small space. There are pseudo scorpions that are perhaps better suited for that, although they are too small to be interesting. Also, scorpions tend to be partenogenetic, and males are quite rare, but if you want to avoit them from reproducing, you might be limited to using only a male (depending on the species of scorpions).
I like the sand path. Thank you for the great video.

Absolutely beautiful! You could spend hours gazing at it...definitely with the path, it leads you into it.
Another fantastic build. Well done. Thank you for another great vid. 😃

@@TerrariumDesigns Oh and in my opinion, the set up certainly looked much better with the sand path you created. I think It popped even more, when you added those small spiderwood branches across the path. Very cool! 😃
This one was your most informative video yet. Thank you!
Really doing great work! I love all your videos; they’re incredibly inspiring and motivating. Your dedication and passion shine through, encouraging me to strive for greatness in my own endeavors. Keep up the fantastic work - you’re making a positive impact on so many lives!
I absolutely love the path in the middle! This terrarium turned out beautiful and it really looks magical, you wonder where you will end up if you walk the path and end up in a lush forest
Amazing as always! 🤩

I'm not a fan of fine sand in terrariums. But you've done gorgeous work as always. It's my favorite kind of videos where you're making a nanocube or something of this scale, it really helps me get ideas and inspiration for my next build in 10L aquarium which I've been postponing for quite some time.
Beautiful❤

I think you are forgetting about the centipede😂
I like the path without the stones. The path "popped". It was a nice contrast to the other colours.
Where can i get those spiderwooda from?
How do you get your moss so brightly green?!😅😅💚
Awesome build! I've been watching a few of your videos and I have a question about adding a waterfall. I'm trying to build a vampire crab paludarium and I've seen several examples where the base is the leca to help with the drainage, which makes total sense. But in order for the waterfall to work, would you need the sponge layer first and then the leca, followed by the screen barrier/weed barrier? In other waterfall builds of different creators, it seems like a sponge layer is needed for the pump to pull the water through and over.
Hello there, love the videos and you have given me the bug to make my own terrariums! I was wondering, do we need to sterilize the sphagnum moss in the microwave before mixing the substrate parts together like you do to propagate moss?
❤
Hi, fantastic video as always! I have a few questions for you. I have a big glass container that fits about 2 litres and i want to make a terrarium out of it. Originally it was used to fit a huge amount of booze and it has an extremely long and narrow entry (about 10 inches). So i cant fit anything more than substrate and substrate for the drainage layer, small moss parts, small sticks and stones etc... The tricky part is, that i wont ever get anything out of it since the entry is that long and narrow so i cant fit most plants and if it fits i can only place it in the very center of the bowl. Also later i cant cut any plants ever. Are there maybe any plant seeds i can pour into the terrarium that you would recommend?
I do like the sand path
Hey Terrarium Designs! My name is Lorenzo, yesterday I watch a video talking about terraruims, and I confess that I loved that. Today I start to search how to make your oun tarrarium, and I found u! Your awesome, your work is very well done. Watching your videos I will start to make. But I need anwsers. I live in the south of Brazil, in a island call Florianopolis. And the nature here is wonderful, so I don't want to buy the materials. So my question is, can I make my terraruim using materials from the forest? What kind of thinks I can use? Specifically the ground u use in the nozzle., I really need to use all u said? I hope you'll read and returns me. Thank you so muchh!
How do you treat the spider wood before using it to help stop mold build up on it ?
Nice
Would you build something for arboreal or terrestrial tarantula as an example?
Heya mate, great video❤️ Just a few questions: Will the isopod population explode without any predators present in the terrarium?
can you use leaves instead of screen mesh or will they just decompose?
hello,im a big fan of you and because of you im making terrariums i love it but i got a problem, i use acorn caps in my terrariums but they grow a large amount of mold immedietly and i cant find springtails to clean it up, what should i do?
2 questions: does the centipede have to be a brown garden centipede or any species. also will the centipede manage the isopods making sure that they don't over produce or die out?
I visited your website and saw that you don't ship outside of the UK?! Is there a reason why? I could understand not shipping ready made terrariums, but I wanted to purchase some leca and whatever other resources you sell to support you and use the same resources you do! I plan on making my own terrarium for my gaming desk setup that I'm custom building. I'd love to be able to work something out, please lmk and have a great day!
do the moss have to be live or can i use dry sphagnum as well?
Make a mini pond

Nice, moss is my only problem
can you put the link for the lid you use
You definitely need a name for the centipede. Azazel or Fluffy...you pick!
Where do you get your moss good sir?
where do you get the plants from?
Where can I get the isopods, springtails and centipede
Where do you recommend buying bugs for the USA?
how do the bugs breathe if you cover up the holes of the terrarium?
Where can we find those tiny plants?
Hey chap..I'm considering making one ..but would really like small fish in it also..any ideas on that?

What size terrarium are you going to be using? Chili Rasboras only get to about an inch and have a low bio load so if you have a little water feature you could put a few of those in there. They are also a really pretty red!

Hi is it normal charcoal that you use pls
Wont the centipede eventually end up kill off more buggies than they can produce?
How do you dechlorinate your water?
Yes yes yes🎉🎉😊
Can you make a terrarium for winter?
the sand path is great, imo, better without the lava rocks
Wondering if yoy had any plants to spare for my future projects, anything helps broski 🗿🤙
How long does a centipede live? As you only put one in, it will not multiply...
Possible name cucuy it's a mythical ghost in Spain and Portugal
Maybe Phoenix
Room tour please
Please do the propagation video.

How about "Peder"?
You should name the centipede 'Licorice'

If it wasnt that i already know your a good channel, I would have normaly avoided this video because of the clickbait title. Normaly when I see "heres how" on a title, it means its not worth watching.
Please to a propagating video please
i know what you are.
The way your spoken inflections rise randomly, then always settle at the same note, really triggers my brain lmao. You have the same cadence and inflections in every single sentence
Don’t overwater your terrariums, nobody likes a soggy bottom. (I’m sorry) 😂😂
