I have not yet. I only do videos on geckos and isopods that I am having some success with breeding. That way, I can share my experience with others to help them too.

@@SupremeGecko I don't have any ventilation currently it's completely closed but I know that's wrong long-term especially for the scabers. But I keep them with a bioactive setup with a lot of moss. The moss dries out if it doesn't stay wet but if I keep it wet then the soil mites get all over the glass and I get worried that they're going to crawl out so I sealed it for now.
