I think what’s so important/impressive about this enclosure, is that it’s a desert terrain. In the hobby we see jungle/forest terrain done to a high standard with multi species fairly often, but I could watch this all day! Brilliant video Liam! Well done
I still need to go see this, I didn't realise so many different animals lived in it. Shame the plated lizard was killed 😭 but wow what a setup. Marwell have really upped their game, I remember 15-16 years ago they had 3 female leos in a 2ft, with a male in a cricket box (literally) in their education centre, they were showing how they were slowly introducing the male to the females. Nowadays their reptile exhibits are some of the best I've seen.
i thought this was gonna be another dr plants clone due to the title, but it was really nice to see an extremely large enclosure. looking forward to seeing more of this
i love how the uromastyx knows hes the big dog and just pushes everyone out their spots. pretty awesome to watch nature doing its thing like this. thanks for this cool video!
I actually went here a couple weeks ago, I couldn’t believe the Marwell team had changed a humid rainforest glasshouse to a spectacular desert ecosystem.
I think it would be fun being one of the people to engineer such a bioactive enclosure in places similar to the moon in the future. What a very neat project.
In burgers zoo Netherlands they tried this in a greenhouse simulating the Sonora desert. They stopped with freeroam reptiles because it got a bit too cold. I heard they are gonna heat the paths so perhaps theyll try again. But i urge you to watch it on youtube, because you can see what birds and mammals would work. Personally id pick Gambells quail, sonora pigeon and perhaps rice vinches. And for mammals id pick a robotovski hamster. And perhaps a gartner snake as a larger predator that wont be able to take on fullgrown lizards.
This is absolutely incredible, please tell me you have videos on the building of this enclosure, cause this might be the best multi species set up I've ever seen
This is awesome! Any chance you ever going to introduce Chuckwalla into the environment? I feel like they are so cool but not very known or popular. Would be perfect for an environment like this.
Hey there Reptiles & Research! I wanted to ask a question, Where did you build this giant ecosystem and where'd you get the animals and the funds? This project is really intresting and i want to learn about it, So if you dont mind please answer my question please :)
Would be cool to focus on more life than just the lizards, but them again this channel is about reptiles so ignore me. I just feel like an ecosystem needs more than 1 class of animal
You can find the full half an hour of footage of these animals here: www.patreon.com/posts/desert-ecosystem-104954157?Link&
Great video! Beautiful habitat 🦎
Nothing better than a large dynamic multi species exhibit with thriving animals! Love it
The absolute best

I think the hobby sleeps on deserts, I find them so fascinating! And thank you ☺️
Its an enclosure in marwell zoo
needs more paper towel substrate
Fr
And linoleum
Or a big reptile carpet.
They will get impaction from all that loose substrates they are clearly eating
@@macaulayroper628 they have loose substrate in the wild and barely any of them get impacted

Marwell has fantastic reptile setups lately
u f***ing spoiled it
I've seen lots of these ecosystem simulations, but none of them were at this scale with this many different interesting creatures!
It’s the biggest I’ve ever come across for sure
I loved the different species' interactions with eachother
Was the best part for hours
Absolutely! I could watch them all day! Fascinating!
this is amazing
It really is jaw dropping
i thought this was gonna be another dr plants clone due to the title, but it was really nice to see an extremely large enclosure. looking forward to seeing more of this
There’s more species to be added yet 😉
@@ReptilesandResearch Dare I say it needs a certain varanid with a spiny tail and a load of personality
"It may look like this lizard is doing push-ups but actually it is just displaying its strength" ...
Yeah, that's exactly what a push-up is?
i love how the uromastyx knows hes the big dog and just pushes everyone out their spots. pretty awesome to watch nature doing its thing like this. thanks for this cool video!
man im so jealous. you really build an paradise for them and to enjoy it with them. hope you have an amazing time with it.
He didn't make it
I've been their
@@servalboy8412 i dont really care if he build it himself. He still got them an awesome enclosure.
just the fact that many lizards do push ups to establish dominance is so damn amazing and adorable
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen! Love it!!!
Ikr I’m in love with
This desert biome has charm, nice to see all the different animals interact
This is awesome. We need a full series.
i would love to see more zoomed out shots - showing where they are currently, where there territory is and where the diff ecosystems are
Marwell have really outdone themselves with this enclosure
Sheeeesh we need more videos showing Uromastyx
There is nothing better than making coffee and the morning and watching the animals. This takes it to a whole new level, I'd never be able to leave.
Please make a part two this is so cool
Definitely!
This is the first one I’ve seen with a mammal in it! Keep it up
Dude u could make a kids cartoon with the guys and this whole atmosphere idk why but that’s the vibe it’s giving.
I actually went here a couple weeks ago, I couldn’t believe the Marwell team had changed a humid rainforest glasshouse to a spectacular desert ecosystem.
I think this is the only one of these video styles that could actually function as an ecosystem
I think it would be fun being one of the people to engineer such a bioactive enclosure in places similar to the moon in the future. What a very neat project.
As a desert native I love seeing content like this, keep it up!
Hands down the best enclosure I,ve seen that's how to keep lizards if you have too keep them at all.
In burgers zoo Netherlands they tried this in a greenhouse simulating the Sonora desert.
They stopped with freeroam reptiles because it got a bit too cold.

The bird call in the background is so calming
Thank you!!! I think so but seems everyone thinks the opposite lol
@@ReptilesandResearchis that a loom call
hey whats the name of the bird
@@Vhx882I’m pretty shure it’s a loom call I can make one exactly like it with my hands
This deserves a billion views
first video ive watched of you, and i LOVE it.
This is so amazing
bro u legit have my dream "backyard" if i can say so ive dreamed,draw shit like that as a kid so much.... good job bro
This is absolutely incredible, please tell me you have videos on the building of this enclosure, cause this might be the best multi species set up I've ever seen
this is insane! so awesome!
And by chaos they mean cute dancing lizards.
Strike fear by being fabulous ✨
You should make an entire series on this simulation
i bet i could!
this is litterally my dreaam
This is amazing for me and the animal
Now THIS is what I want when I search for simulated ecosystems
6:17 scared the crap outta me. I was so relaxed damn
boo! its funny you say that, relaxing was the vibe i was going for too!

@@Taintlessdisc Great movie!
Nice video. Try to add some snakes like king snakes and garters snakes or others
It’s at marwell zoo if anyone is wondering
This is awesome! Any chance you ever going to introduce Chuckwalla into the environment? I feel like they are so cool but not very known or popular. Would be perfect for an environment like this.
I wanna see more videos like this in your channel
I certainly can try when the opportunity presents itself
@@ReptilesandResearch okay
This is a combination of The Hunger Games, The Matrix, ARK: Survival Evolved, and playing God, my friend.
I love that they encourage sensory
I was watching this video with my window open and the mourning doves outside were responding to the mourning doves in the video :’D
thats adorable
Incredible. Where is this located?
Marwell
At 4:21 how he looks after his food got eaten 😂😂😂😂😂
You sir, are amazing. Thank you.

15 seconds in, and my mind went straight to bio dome
😮 this is the multi species reptile enclosure i only ever dream to have....
give me biodome vibes !!!
was this at Marwell Zoo?
Next time I visit marwell, I'm definitely starting at this enclosure.
Definitely do, when everything’s basking in the morning
AntsCanada... eat your heart out.
This is awesome. Im not jealous
Why thank you ☺️
Gorgeous, always wondered if something like this was possible ❤
It’s a dream
Very nice do another video for sure
Very nice one Liam. Can I ask what camera you used?
panasonic hc-x2000 ☺️
Where’s and how did you build this I want to build something like this when I’m older
i need more
This is so cool!
Purely spectacular!!!
It’s even better in person
Wait.. Is this your enclosure?? Like did you make this?🤯🤯
5:12
just learned about rock hyrax
Spectacular!
You stand there in awe
This was so well done. Thank you so much for doing this and do offer follow ups!
Oh definitely!
5:34 wonder whats up with big guy's eye. handsome lil bro though
Awesome! Love this
Glad you like it!
can you list the name of the plant species? Are you use soil below the sand? false bottom? geotestile? sorry for asking, just curious 😅🙏
Are the doves in the enclosure or the calls coming from outside?
You should get a Mexican iguana for that enclosure. That’s perfect setup.
Isnt this just the desert house at the marwell zoo?
I mean, at this point you could make a whole non profit zoo with this and your other creations lol
You cool guy
How do they introduce UV through the greenhouse wrap?
Inside it
Is this Marwell Zoo?
Yes
How did you afford this setup?
You need to really talk to Ants canada
Isnt this the desert house "Thriving through nature" at marwell zoo
I want a uromastyx!
What do you do with the animals when your done
Isn't this the zoo in arnhem, Netherlands?
No check the description
Would be cool to focus on more life than just the lizards, but them again this channel is about reptiles so ignore me. I just feel like an ecosystem needs more than 1 class of animal
Did you make this??
Where did bro get rock hyraxes
What is the animal that you keep hearing in the background?
Where is this exhibit?
Burgers Zoo Arnhem?
XD caos = una lagartija moviéndose
DR Plant's but in a whole new level:
Is this marworl or smth?
What are the uv levels
What desert does this enclosure simulate?
@@MrIanjester generic North Africa
is this in ur backyard? 😮
How would a collared lizard do in such a large environment like that?
amazing id imagine
