    Thank you. Your terrarium looks much better than the one I once made, and mine was not "free" because I purchased terrarium plants. Moss is hard to come by in Central Texas, so I didn't have any. But I also made a little pond using a whiskey glass. When I was done, I talked to myself and said, 'Now, what I need is a lizard." My cat brought me a lizard, the perfect terrarium lizard in fact, Plestiodon fasciatus, the common North American five-lined skink. That lizard drowned in the pond. My cat noticed as I removed the body and put it in the trash. I filled the pond with rocks almost to the top. The cat, smarter than me, brought me another lizard. That one lived for years.

    You could fix the bottom by first cleaning well. Place tape over the cracks Turn the tank over bottom side up, you can use aluminum tape to create a well and to seal the sides so you don't have this running down the sides If in doubt use silicone caulk to seal the tape. mix and pour Clear resin on the bottom of the tank. Wait 48 hours to cure and harden. Your tank should be good as new, even better it should have a nice thick surface to sit on. Make sure you test it to make sure it doesn't leak, just in case you didn't pour the resin thick enough. If it leaks , repeat the process.

    My daughter found a 4 inch elephant hawk moth caterpillar in our garden last week, so I decided to rehome it in a glass jar with some moss, stick and leaves. After 1 day it decided to bury itself in the moss and overwinter. So now I guess I'm stuck with this jar in the kitchen until it hatches into a big moth in May.

    i made a 100 Gallon Tank into a terrarium with plants that were at my grandmas place, i split the tank into 2 different areas, a pond and a landmass. i used tapwater for the pond and well.. 7 days after i put the tap water in i found living organisms that came from the tap water. i put one slug in the tank, isopods, springtails and centipedes into the tank. and the population of slugs is over 100. lets just say that you know how to manage things better than me 😅

    Unfortunately ants will find a way to escape from a small area if they are not confined in an ant-proof enclosure. You need something made especially for ants, and an old aquarium won't work. I know, because I tried it, and the colony of ants, having grown larger, executed a mass escape in the middle of the night and took up residence in my computer printer...
