150 Gallon SWAMP SIMULATION ( Battle for king of Amphibia ) Pt 1

Amphibia is Finally Here! The biggest simulating a swamp Paludarium on KZbin.
This Ecosystem includes snapping turtles, waterdogs, crawfish, bullfrogs, tadpoles, fish and a Basilisk !! All of these creatures have survived in the wild together with the exception of the Basilisk. I know someone is gonna say it, so to answer NO I did NOT copy this video from Dr plants or Ants Canada.

[@andrewmunro6106]

I like how you made a sort of storyline for the vivarium. I like to think a change in climate lead to a drastic increase in rainfall in the desert leading to a mass die off in various organisms and those that survived were mainly the reptiles and amphibians being best equipped for this new humid and flooded world. Anything that wasn’t aquatic was forced to move to higher ground to adapt and survive while the low lands were flooded leading to a vast shallow swamp.

[@MrHillbilly]

Yup that was the idea for the story.

[@andrewmunro6106]

@@MrHillbilly Now I’m imagining a chapter where the swamp gets flooded even more via rising sea levels becoming a salt water lagoon of sorts. I just imagine each chapter the environment of the vivarium changes. For example we have the scorched age being the desert vivarium and now we have the age of amphibia aka a lush humid swampy world. I’m curious where this goes next.

[@MrHillbilly]

You are close! The water is slowly going to drop carving out the rock little by little until it’s a fast rapid stream eating away at the earth creating a BIG… MASSIVE …. Some would say it was GRAND …… Canyon. With a venomous predator or a bearded dragon. I’ll have everyone vote on it haha. Thanks for the insight. You have some good ideas that I’m going to use!!

[@MrHillbilly]

I’m also thinking of a pre historic tank with dinosaur looking creatures and massive miniature trees for scale and looks of hanging moss. Maybe even throw some dragon flys in there. 🤷

[@andrewmunro6106]

@@MrHillbilly I can imagine in the river that remains a relic like a snapping turtle from the swamp living in it and as the environment around them changes there basically trapped. A relic from a bygone era. I can also see fish filling out the nieces left behind by the amphibians that couldn’t handle the changes and meanwhile on land reptiles may claim dominance but it’s a waning grip as new rising stars such as various spiders prowling the canyon walls and scorpions and centipedes slowly usurping the dominant reptiles as top predators.

I mean I like the stup but as a reptile owner I can’t stand all these predators being out into the same space just doesn’t seem right. In the wild they got places to go and here they’re confined to glorified death matches and possibility of getting hurt. Not to mention you’re mixing wild caught animals with domestic bred animals and that’s asking for parasites and disease to spread. Love your enclosure and setup but I can get behind putting all these animals in this setting like this.

[@MrHillbilly]

They can’t hurt each other and when Crush the turtle starts to grow I’ll be moving him to his own inclosure. “ a pond” lol. Appreciate your thoughts. I wouldn’t put them together if I thought they would hurt each other. Thanks for watching! 😊
