When David Attenborough retires I nominate you to take his place. You got the voice for it.

Haha, enjoying the close-up shots of the little creatures 😏👌. It's a very attractive terrarium too. I really appreciate watching you work. Maybe I'll bite the bullet soon and actually try making my own.

Beautiful, Ben!

Yeeeeeah! Got them land shrimps, little escargots, bugs with all the legs, AND bugs without any.

You make it look so easy, which I know is the result of serious knowledge and experience. I'm in the process of adding some life to my home and your channel is number 1 for helping with that.

Great content! May I ask where you purchased that amazing fishbowl? I can find nothing like it anywhere. What brand and where to find? Anything would help.

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Love it!!!

You make amazing content keep it up

That is so beautiful! But how do you keep your isopods from destroying the moss? Mine will eat it down to the substrate. I haven't found a good solution.

What species do you use? If the population density is high, they might eat the live plants. Maybe try feeding fresh veggies?

Perfect 👍

Hi, very beautiful creation :) !! Not sure if its been mentioned but what size is the glass bowl?

iv wanted to do a large bowl for ages, keep seeing your vids with them, have only ever seen them as specialist blown for a small fortune, never with a lid, most of the ones on amazon are basicly just cups, any chance of letting us know where your finding them and how much?

Stunning … thank you!

Amazing

I love this

so comfy

I'm always concerned with introducing non-native species into the wild locally by accident or otherwise. There have been too many cases where the aquarium or gardening hobbies brought in invasive species that were hard to deal with afterwards. You would think that mosses would not be a major concern, but the critters with legs may be a different story. :)

How do you culture your isopods? I’m a huge isopod fan and keep several species, always curious to see how terrarists keep their colonies!

How often do you have to trim the plants ina terrarium this size?

Super 👌

This is the best and relaxing moment of mi entire morning, watching your videos...Is there any possibility that you can show subtitles in spanish please...Could be amazing for me to understand all your explanations...Sometimes get lost 😀...Thanks

I want to make a terrarium with brown forest frogs what container do you advice?

Just normal toom temperature is good, isopods and millipedes like cooler enviornments

Do you have to water it everyday?

Question: Where do you get a lid for a fishbowl like that?

If you want to get into it you could buy a enclosure second hand, I got an old aquarium for pretty cheap. You could capture a lot of stuff from outside if you don't care about having a tropical environment.

WHAT PLANTS DID YOU USE

Thanks for recommending Micro Exotics - I have purchased albino isopods and springtails from them - totally inspired by your videos :) This is an wonderful build, I see why it got so many views

Where are you buying the plants from? Uk based

This may be a strange question but should I add a natural predator for the macro fauna

If something is breeding like crazy and taking over then yeah but otherwise no

Micro Exotics doesn't ship to the US 😔Are you aware of any terrarium inhabitant suppliers that do? Thanks 😁

The biggest issue I have is finding a place that sells that actual glass jars/tanks for use.

Terarriums are not tropical environments unless you make them that, and you absolutely can get lots of bugs from outside your door and put them in there and they will be very happy. If they thrive in a moist environment

Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18 °C and with ambient temperature of homes in the UK is between 18ºc-21ºc, combined with the humidity of a terrarium = tropical environment. I totally disagree with your statement about getting lots of bugs from outside so long as they thrive in a moist environment. It's always better to do a little research to ensure what you're putting inside will actually like being there.

@andreasvedeler80

@@WorcesterTerrariums Yes, it is best to do some research, and yes, many bugs from temperate climates do thrive in terrariums as long as they're kept moist. In my experience plants have a harder time acclimating than bugs do

hey, just a reminder that if you live in a tropical environment, you can totally get the creepy crawlers from outside
