Would you consider selling your new glass terrariums disembled? Like a DIY kit. I live in Sweden and if I were to order a glass terrarium, I dont think there would be much left of it when it arrives, lol 😆 Or maybe you only sell glass terrariums in a physical store/reptile shows?

When you have a open "swamp" cleaner, you MUST give the tree some wood treatments (i think its the proper word, im not english) or the wood will over time swallow the humidity and the tree will weaken a lot and rot.

I am not sure if someone already posted this, but since you started the build, my concerns for the animals was feeding. You need much more "prey density" for such a volume. In real jungle, on such a volume, there would be much more small insects that predators can feed on. That is why we don't put spiders in huge enclosures. If you put spider into 1m x 1m enclosure and then feed it one roach how would that go? Those might not meet for long time potentially and then the animal is starving. In my opinion, the enclosure of this size needs a lot of fruit flies, crickets or roaches etc. Much more than you put in. Of course, that is rather hard to contain inside then. Geckos are up and have better oversight. Also fruit flies tend to climb up. Frogs on the bottom have less time to grab them.

With a project of this size, I would see if a plastic company that makes hard pond liners can make you a custom plastic liner that will contain water, they might even be able to make a custom shell top that snaps in, has holes to add fans/vents. Im sure it would be expensive but a project of this magnitude, it my be worth it. Water is very difficult to contain, especially when its in the air.

Talk to tanner Serpa of serpadesign to get some technical advice on both, the construction of your new Junglearium and the remedy of your old one. If it was me without expert help, I would, after applying the new hydrophobic coatings, also make acrylic ( or similar plastic enclosure material) panels screw them to the faces of the enclosure, silicon seal all seems and screw spots as if I was building a fish tank.

Hi! I've red a lot of posts which aren't showing good solutions. If you want to keep the enclosure sealed permanently, it won't be cheap. You need a "root proof" sealing system, like a sealing system for roofs that will get plants on top for example. Those systems will have a fleece embedded in the liquid sealant. It's for a general fortification and to overcome cracks in the corners. Sooner or later you will always run into problems if you try to cut corners. Forget all the plexiglass bullshit or trying to seal something permanently by using silicone in the corners. Or a hard sealant. It will get cracks. Silicone works in fishtanks because fishtanks don't move. When you build something with a connection to several surfaces or with a construction with wood under the surface (just an example), the different materials will move. It is not unusual that houses "move" too, esp. the rooftop. (Sorry for english, it is not my native language)

I don't think you're being abusive to your tarantulas, but I also think the place that you keep them in tubs like that is abusive. You should think about building more suitable areas for them. They do deserve that at least. I think getting reactions with the grass is not abusive but their home is

I figure if I get a spider, it will be something big and crazy like a King Baboon. I don't really like any of the other colors as much as red. I would just get a pile of dirt, repisoil or whatever. Found a nice 7 gallon jug that's clear and would work for a big spider. I would give him a nice water bowl, stainless kidney shaped bowl and like a fake silk cactus, put Inch of sand on top and make a beach area for him with water bowl, this way he won't dirty his water instantly and will be easy to see the crickets as well against white sand. I think that would work fine, she can dig down into the soil. I can do some kind of clay balls at the bottom and drill holes there so the mold does not grow. I plan to feed her goldfish in the water, see what happens. The red fossorials they say will submerge ?. They are not super hard to find adult ones, I don't want a baby spiderling. I don't want to re house the angry spider anyways, I would be careful with it once it's in the jug, I'm looking to make a bio active setup.

Oh no that is so sad!!! I hope everything goes to plan! Some easy ways to keep the plants alive can be big clear plastic bins with substrate in the bottom and you put them in them even of some are together it's not a problem. You do a bit of ventilation in the top of the bin (not the lids a stack them in a corner with a grow light in the front of the bins 😊 Cheap and effective for a short time 😅

Two ways to keep flies going everywhere. 1) put the flies in the fridge for about 10 min before feeding. This slows the flies down a lot! 2) just place a plastic container under the cup. Any flies that dont make it into the cup fall into the container. Then you just dump them in your cup.

I will look forward to your new Junglearium build. There is a special paint which is used to coat sand and cement rendered ponds. It is waterproof and outstanding. Maybe enquire to a firm that builds Koi ponds. I believe that would be a good way to go. It is a shame that your first attempt has given you these damp problems which in turn, turn into mould which is not good for your health. Thank you for your channel which I enjoy very much.
