    I saw your first video and was inspired to make a vivarium. It’s been running for a month and I have three poison dart frogs coming to inhabit it. I’ve seen on Reddit and other forums, dozens of people who have been inspired by your videos and want to make paludariums (with the shrimp and the crabs and everything). It’s become a kind of a meme; it’s known as “the video” (that got everyone into vivariums). Keep going! You’re super talented and I can’t wait to see what you make.

    To all the people complaining about established titles consider the fact that this video was made a month ago and the sponsorship was most likely set even earlier. They had not been publicly exposed as of the release nor the 2 months put into making the paludarium itself.

    Great video I’ve been waiting for a build video from you for a while, your first build video is my favorite out of any I’ve seen (I’ve seen ALOT) but I do think you could’ve slowed down on this video and this one could’ve been double the time, just my opinion, could’ve earned more revenue and we all would’ve loved a longer video. Thanks for the uploads
