- Building A Bioactive Terrarium Heaven! (Isopods And Millipedes)
I’ve always been interested in creating a proper bioactive terrarium setup and was kindly gifted the materials to do so by Micro Exotics. This is a mixed species terrarium with pink dragon millipedes (desmoxytes planata), Cubaris marina, dwarf white isopods and springtails (collembola). I slightly alter the terrarium soil which caters towards the inhabitants' need for high humidity. The terrarium substrate contains springtails from a previous terrarium.

Lol he made a acc just for this😂 тусжр
I don't make terrariums (maybe one day), but I do appreciate them a lot. And this one looks gorgeous. Great job!
Thanks, David. That's kind of you to say!
I have a terrarium that I have maintained for a little over a year now. I had selected Moss and propagated some of my favorite plants months before I set the terrarium up.After a while I got some isopods.They keep having babies and I have little tiny isopods everywhere. My moss is about a inch high in some places and they are all through it. I noticed that many of them were a white color but now I have noticed some that are bright yellow. The parents look rather normal and I assumed that they would turn the same color as the parents but I have about 3 different groups of babies and the more they have the more colorful they seem to get. I mainly use the terrarium to grow out clippings of my favorite plants.I plan on getting a larger one because I want a couple different species of dart frogs. I actually kept a baby mantis in the one I have for a while, but I ended up letting him go.I really like the native mantis species but I never keep them long. I grow orange trees and some Japanese maple and a bunch of pothos in my basement and I find mantis every year.
Your isopods are becoming colorful? That’s cool!
Inspiring me to make a terrarium AND hit arm day, what a guy 🙏
This is absolutely beautiful! Bravo.
Your videos inspired me to make my own little terrarium 💙
This was very helpful thank you for making this video.
The music with the terrarium arramgment is so calming
literally looks like forest floor! beautiful layout
Thanks Ankesh!
beautifull terarium full of life
: ]]]
So beautiful ❤
I wanna make an isopod paradise!!! Hopefully soon 😊
A very interesting hobby. Nice video.
Loved watching and listening to this. ASMR heaven 😅 i feel so relaxed now. This is my fav style of scape for a terrarium aswell 😍
Thanks Vicky glad you enjoyed it!
LOVE this one!!! ❤️
Thank you Karen, I'll be doing an update soon :)
You’re really a friggin pro man. Wtf, asmr style is lit
Nice work Ben !
Thank you Harry :)
All your jobs are amazing! Where do you get the bowls and lids for them?
That Pink Dragon Millipede is so Cool. I see they are Toxic. Definitely would want one!!
Love it!!!
Ty!
Hi there thank you for all your great videos. You inspired me to set up an eco system terrarium with a variety of plants, wood moss and leaf litter then added some isopods and two Ghana millipedes, I love the millipedes and was excited to see the isopods multiplying and all the little babies scurrying around. I add a good mixture of fresh food, cuttlefish bone fish flake and some specialty food. My main problem is they have no devoured pretty much all the plants and the population has exploded! What’s the best plan of action?
That is a thing of beauty
@Worcester Terrariums where do you get all the glassware from?
Have you ever made a bioactive terrarium?
yes, mine are less beautiful than yours but i'm figuring it out haha!
Yeah, I got a couple of isopods and some springtails, and they seem to be happy so far.
Fantastic video. What size bowl is that?
wow i love making terriums for my icopods i find in the back garden. where do you get these big glass terrium containers? i just use old jars
I’m trying to figure out the right isopods right now for my 40 breeder palodarium but I like the substrate mixture though you got
Using a “step drill bit” is best for any type of plastics
Is there a good breeding rare on the insects you use? It looks a fantastic world you’ve created..👏🏻👏🏻👌😎
you are amazing ben🤩✌️🌹
Ty!
I wanna make this omg😭‼️
I alse have dwarf whites that I got from soil here in the Philippines. I like them very much. They are just as big as springtails but of course much slower XD I hope I can find a cheap asparagus fern for sale
i always used to think that isopds / millipedes are bad, and were always wondering were they are comming from in my house, used to kill them. now i now they are good but need to be trapped :)
They're definitely not bad!
Bug paradise!
Is there a list of the plants you used in this video?
New to your channel, so you may have already done what im about to suggest. Have you ever thought about introducing Beetles to you set up. I currently have sun beetles in with my Bumblebee millipedes, and its great watching them.
Interesting, so you put gravel(akodama) beneath moss so it doesn’t stick to substrate?
This was amazing, how does one get into this?
There are tutorials on youtube
Yum
@1:38 so beautiful and perfect. 2 sevonds later a mess. Painfull 😭
Could i use some actual soil from an forrest as replacement for the vermicast? there would be leaf and everything included. And also a ton of animals. Or is it risky to get some „pests“ inside it?
I often find springtails when repotting houseplants - currently my monstera has a ton of gray ones and my maranta has darker brown/black ones. Can I simply re-home them into a terrarium or is a certain type required?
There are over 3600 types so it's hard to say! I only use Folsomia candida and I buy those in
What kind of bulbs do you use to raise your terrariums?
Are yellow spotted Milipedes good for terrariums?
Do you catcg the insects in nature?
can walking leaves also be placed in this terrarium?
How do you keep the bugs from overpopulating?
Can this setup be used for a jumping spider?
Where do u get the fish bowl terrarium from???!!!
Hiya. Im making this one! This is my first time. My plants are arriving before my substrate! How do i care for them in the meantime
Why did yiu note that moss went onto a gravel. I got my moss from yard and its on dirt, however i have had moss growing in jars of sand fir many months and they do well, but wondering about why you do that.
Hi Sir, I’m a beginner of making terrarium, so right now my terrarium got some isopods and one millipedes, may I know how can I get more these kind of bugs and how can I find springtails ? Hope you can answer my questions thank you so much and hope you have a wonderful day 😊
So I really want to make a bio active terrarium (first ever terrarium) and I really love this one and want to make one really similar (just smaller) and I was wondering about how much would it cost (minus the tank)?
Ivr judt got the ingredients for this exept the animals, on ebay... 90 pounds for thr substrate and plants exept the small ivy, cant srem to get that one
It’s not about the huge ass 100 gallons all the time, sometimes just a small sphere is enough
Hey there. I'm an onlooker of the isopod hobby, but I'm worried I might have made a rather embarrassing mistake in preparing for a project and would like to get an honest opinion if anyone's willing to hear it out.
So, I've recently been getting materials together to try and make my first "real" tank. I've kept A. vulgare in the past on a low budget, but this is the first time I've prepared for any larger project. About a month back, I purchased a brick of coco fiber and expanded it in advance (with conditioned water of course) in a sterile vertical container. In the time since that month, getting the other components took longer than I had hoped, and I almost never opened the airtight container out of fear of quarantining it from pests.
I'm not completely sure, but I fear the time I took preparing could have allowed anaerobic bacteria to develop due to the factors of sitting water and lack of aeration. Having checked on it today, while it shows no visual signs of contamination and is of the correct consistency, there is a subdued but unusual smell when held closer.
This has me really concerned. I don't have the experience to know whether I'm dealing with a fixable problem or if I've messed up the brick. Searching online has given very lackluster results, so instead I feel that I should turn to someone with much more experience than me. How do I handle this situation? Is it still possible to fix the coco fiber at this point or is it no longer ideal? I hate the idea of just having to throw out the fiber if there's a way I could make it usable again, but if it really does present a serious or unsolvable issue then I'm prepared to do it. I want to give my bugs the best life possible within reason, even if that means I have to prevent mistakes like these.
Do note as well that the tank I eventually planned to introduce the substrate into has springtails, a false bottom, mesh layer and charcoal layer. If at all a factor, let me know how this would factor into that. Thanks in advance if anyone responds to this.
Bro why would you have it in. Standing water? That's ...I don't even know what to say bro. 😐
For the dryed up leaves can i use ones that are dry and brown from the outdoors
Yes, depending on where you from I wouldn't suggest nut-leaves so
Hope I could help:)
Hey dood, would this style terrarium work for a jungle species of millipede? Millipede from Florida seems fine in plantation soil and some baby’s tears as ground cover. It’s not a cool terrarium or anything, but I plan on making a better one for it.
To be honest, I'm unsure! Finding out exactly what kind of millipede you have would be the best starting point 🙂
@@WorcesterTerrariums scarlet millipede.
Is there a place to buy this stuff in the US
Could this last forever ?
wont the isopods eat all the plants?
Where do you bought your big glass container
My local florist
Where do I get the bat poop?
Why didn’t you want the moss on the soil surface?
Just a friendly reminder
But if you mix different species of isopods together one will eventually out compete the other
Cool video!! isn't this more of a vivarium if your going to put air holes on top and open it?
Is there stuff in bat poop and worm poop that's different from the insects' own poop that makes it good food for them? Like, they can't eat their own feces, right, and get any nutrition from it? Do they eat it, ever, though? Why does the dookie from different species give them nutrients? (This is such a lovely comment, isn't it?)
Do you ever have issues with fungus gnats in your terrariums? I'd love to get into something like this, but gnats are such a consistent problem with my houseplants that I'm not sure how to go about properly supporting an ecosystem like this, especially one with no drainage. This is gorgeous, thank you for sharing!
The bugs eat the fungus
Are the millipedes still alive now? As substrate for these creatures is extremely hard to get write
stronk arms
Haha, thanks 😊
Do you sell these?
Looks more like a centipede than millipede tbh
To these bugs this guy is god.
How do you cut the caps in a circular way?
Awesome , you need to sell me one , Alfred us navy disabled veteran
7:54 imagine he dropped it
Please be careful with bat guano. I heard it’s hazardous to humans if we breathe in
Thanks for the tip!
My dream is to have someone feed me a diet as balanced and nutritious as the one these bugs get
Hahaha.
That squish noise I'm the music is really annoying
