  • After months of planning and anticipation, I've built my second giant ecosystem vivarium, which will be an extened biological world of my cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora, however this new vivarium will simulate a tree canopy. Building the structure for the tank was truly a mission, and I couldn't wait to start landscaping, but a certain volcanic eruption event nearby had greatly altered my plans. Hope you enjoy this Season 2, Episode 11 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    “Giant vivarium 2” needs a name. Since it’s going to be a treetop, I suggest Yggdrasil. The tree of life from norse myth, that connects all worlds together.

    Gondolin was a city, located in a hidden valley, only accessible through one pathway with a giant bridge. And, as it was in a *hidden* valley, only those who knew the exact location had access to it (much like the cannopy now!).

    I was a bit worried about the fire ants, any ants really, in an open air display. Hopefully, you saw one of the first to leave and stopped it quickly. I can't wait to see what happens!!

    1. That foreworker is the most amazing person ever. I would have freaked out if you told me 'Yeaa, you know, there are huntsman spiders and a croc in there but... you'll be fiiiiine.' Mad respect.
    2. I never thought I'd say that but... bro, your house is to small! Where do you want to put the other 6 add-ons to Pantdora? Like the caves, do you have a secret cellar or something where Pantdora might lead to?
    3. I distinctly remember that, back when you did the Vivarium for the Fire Ants (I joined only a few months before that and I think it was the first complete vivarium I saw you build live) I wondered about that exact problem, if ants in an open air vivarium wouldn't escape that way. I never got an answer back then, now... well, I know :D
    Crazy, but fun episode! Hope your headache after this twist isn't too bad and you get this under control somehow!
