My substrate mix: Coco fibre 1 part Sphagnum moss 2 parts Orchid bark 1/4 part Charcoal 1/4 part Worm castings 1/4 part Check out the full video for more info!
Ideally the hinge should be the same thickness of the glass. 2mm glass. 2mm hinge. Etc. They are extremely strong as long as the surfaces where the silicone will be applied is CLEAN. Like clean, clean. Use some 99 iso.
It turned out so well, can't wait to see how it develops! She's really pretty, reminds me of the gem prehnite, you could call her Gaia or Gaea, like the Greek godess of earth 🌱
Im not really into the build i would love to see more footage of the completed terrarium the worlds you create inside of these glass boxes are amazing and deserve to be seen more
I believe he uploads full videos on his channel, these shorts just get to more eyes than regular videos so this is how most influencers promote their videos. Edit: he does upload the full videos. Under his user name in bold white letters you’ll see “I built a tree trunk terrarium” click that, it’ll pull up the full video for you.
I have this drum stick tree (Malunggay) that currently has three Praying mantis living in it and it's pretty big it's around 3-4 inches it's kinda scary though😅.

I'm trying come up with a substrate that holds burrows, retains moisture and dries out on top but stays moist at the bottom. Any ideas?
a part, it's in VOLUME (ml) or in WEIGHT (kg)?
I’d love to see more on how the silicone hinge works.
Yeah but seems risky
Nah alot of terrarium hobbiests do it. I just would advise against it if you want a large glass door cause ya know too heavy

My Creobroter spec yunnan (chinese flower mantis) is named Gaia as well i love that you had that idea too
You could call her Mrs.Mantis for a relation to Mantis in Kung Fu Panda
Can you give some more info on the silicone hinge and building the glass terrarium?
Yup like what is the size of it!
Name ideas: Lime, Fern, Flirty, Flory.
Judy, I think you should name her Judy
Name her Blossom!
Looks so nice at that angle.
I wonder that she won't need a bit more foliage to feel she's camouflaged? But maybe that will come with growth.
I like Minty for a name
Suggested name: “Sister Bertrille” aka the titular Flying Nun played by Sally Fields
name of climbing plants pls❤❤❤
You make it look so easy! 😆 Please do an update as it grows in! 🙏
Simple but cool.

You should name her Grabrielle!

I know it’s too late to name her, but if you ever get a new praying mantis I think dewdrop would be a cute name.
Beautiful
I just wish that mantids lived longer than 1 season. If I could I would GMO a mantid to live upwards of 5 years.

First time I've seen someone use silicone for a door hinge, looks cool but how stable is it? Will it eventually wear off and need resiliconing?
Pray should be the name
Wouldnt the silicone hinge rip from the weight of the glass
