Making A Closed Terrarium For Isopods (Mega ASMR Sounds)

Making A Closed Terrarium For Isopods (Mega ASMR Sounds!)
My aim for this video was to show the viewer the full process of making a terrarium. I wanted a raw, minimally edited video that had no narration or subtitles throughout and focused mainly on the visual and aural aspects of a terrarium build. I find it a meditative and relaxing experience and wanted to convey that as best I could.
Hope you enjoy it!

I said unedited... There are minor edits; had I not, the footage would have been over an hour! Hope you enjoy the video!

[@plantseveryinch9024]

I think a hour long video of you speaking on Terrariums would have been absolutely wonderful I find your channel very relaxing and enjoyable always :) Have a great day all the way from PEI , Canada 😁🌿🌱🇨🇦

[@ShoutOfCoffee]

Absolutely awesome. Make some updates how it grows. Well...you could make a video about your earliest projects... please. I made multilayered terrarium with one side always in shadow with a rocks, barks, leafs and small brunches...and another side with a light and lots of plants like moss, ivy, and some local plants. Jungle like. It's a kingdom for... Isopods Centipedes Millipedes Springtails Firebrats Mites 3 Snails 1 Slug Spiders Beetles Earthworms ...and 1 Ladybug +some other species I didn't figured yet. I think closed ecosystems can be great idea for kids...if they're into biology.

I just finished watching this. I'm not sure whether to nap because it's so relaxing, or make a terrarium because it's so inspiring. :P

Do both xD

I would loooooove to see an update on this terrarium in 3 and 6 months to see how the little bug family is doing and also interested to see how many of the cuttings take off!

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

Me too! In my experience cuttings rarely fail!

Same, would love to see an update!

To my own surprise, I savored every minute of your video. It was one of those rare moments when audio and video combine perfectly. You're very good at what you do. You must use this production technique more often. Thanks a million.

[@karensokaren]

Your channel is a hidden gem

[@scottshaffer7296]

The Bob Ross of terrarium building and that's a compliment

[@CobwebForest]

That one isopod that got flipped over when being transferred to the terrarium got me emotionally attached to him lol also in my head cannon of the terrarium, he was the same isopod that was furiously trying to get out and fiercely scurried against the glass for a hot second when u were putting plants on the bark.

[@bokaholic]

Having the name of the plants pop up would be extremely helpful!

[@oliverwelsh7213]

That leaf crunching was the most satisfying thing I've ever seen :)

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

Haha, good to know! Noted 📝

[@BBMorti]

This is a wonderful niche you found here. I hope you will consider making more videos of this type. Your result was simply beautiful.

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

Thanks! I'll certainly do more videos like this.

[@angelinahills3324]

Absolutely stunning, so beautifully done.

[@proseontherange1396]

Completely enjoyed watching your thoughtful, meditative, destressing video. Thank you! :)

[@JustJ0nathan]

This is one of the most beautiful terrariums. You captured the imperfect beauty of a forest perfectly. Well done. 👏🏻

[@k2a2l2]

i was just watching some random isopod videos and this is definitely the best enclosure ive seen, the attention to detail is next level

[@wesleydunow222]

This was great! I love these type of videos better because it gives me more of an understanding into your process and how you build the terrariums. Wow, I am always blown away by how many different plants you are able to incorporate into a terrarium! Nice, music selection as well. Very therapeutic vibes. The one thing I think would have been nice is just very brief subtitles for when you show a new type of plant. I kept being like "wow, thats a cool plant! But wait!? what is it??" haha Anyways thank you so much, and I'm going to be buying some of the bonsai moss for my new terrarium now:)

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

Thanks Wesley, appreciate your feedback. I usually do put the names with each plant but went for something slightly different this time. If there are any you're stuck on send screenshots over and I'll tell you what they are :D

[@jadervinny]

It's so good to watch your videos, this one in particular was extremely pleasurable and relaxing. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.

[@RM-cd6zy]

How funnt, I just posted on your shorts suggesting you do asmr. Then searched asmr terrarium and this video comes up! So glad you did this. Would love if you did and maybe spoke throughout the video. Your voice has a very soothing timbre

[@itssassysarah]

This is beautiful in so many ways. I felt how grounded and calm this made you through the screen. I loved watching you put this little world together and the music added an even more soothing vibe. Can’t wait til I get used to setting up terrariums to do an elaborate setup for some isopods of my own!

[@ashurazoro.]

Your way of explaining is sooooo satisfying🍀

[@jbrady5501]

What a lovely piece that turned out!! Never knew you could keep roly-polies as pets... Now I kinda want a colony. Always loved them as a kid.

Beautiful, restful background music. I am a beginner and would have LOVED captioned details for ingredients. This was exactly the information I needed. know, tedious! Your work is amazing and at first, I subscribed and followed you, but I quickly understood that, sadly, I was not snooty enough. I am sure you don't need more followers.

[@debbiedixon8730]

I must say, I enjoy your videos, so educational. Love your voice, and you don't act like your over hyped up. May I ask why you do not use a screen barrier between the drainage layer before adding everything else

[@dragon091327]

I’ve been wanting to raise isopods like this for a long time, now that summer is here I might just have to try

[@jasminfrey8305]

I would like to know how you're going to take care of the isopods. How often do they need dry leaves, calcium, and what to do about overpopulation?

[@adriananino3578]

Excelente, espero actualización de este lindo terrario 😍😍

Thank you for your videos, you've been a huge help in starting my terrarium adventures 😺 I'm in the US, so I can't get one of your terrariums, but I'm curious as to whether you mail any terrariums and if so, how do you pack them? If you do, would you consider making a packing video?

[@jiasenium]

Would really love for the moss spores and moss bits to grow on the rocks!! From experience though, the Gestroi species love to eat live mosses and plants :(

Ahhh I hope they don't eat the moss. We will see...

That turned out absolutely beautiful. I was searching for inspiration for making a new terrarium for my isopod colony which has out grown their plastic tub. I could see myself making something like this as I have both aquariums and terrariums. But how do you keep the fungus gnats out of your terrariums with holes in the lids? I had to close all of mine.

[@Fjin.]

I would be very grateful for the name of the plant at 1:31. Also, thank you so much for this relaxing and inspiring video. I had goosebumps when you pressed the drainage to the bottom of the glass bowl! :D

Hey, love ur videos mate. Quick question: What's with the giant tweezers in your tool box @4:50?

[@cathyfraser7145]

I loved your terrarium. I'm planning on making a terrarium. would you be able to list the plants you used.

[@monicacarolina6480]

Beautiful made. I thought it would be a closed off terarium, but it's not. I bread Zebra's, clowns, panda isopods and several kinds of springtales. 12 of my zebra isopods do live in a fully closed, airtight terrarium and do extremely well, I see tiny isopods everywhere. They don't care much about the old leaves, they love my moss and very smal plants with tiny leaves. Hmm :) I feed mine once a month fishpallets (isopods love it to) with calcium on top. It is important to keep their outside skeleton in good condition. Eggshell broken into very tiny pieces works to. Also eople, make sure the humidity in your terrarium is good, parts of the soil need to be a but wet. Otherwise they can not loose their skin and will die. Thy need god humidity to let them thrive. Otherwise the leaves would not break down and that sis what they love to eat. AND the srpingtales.

[@axiomdroneservice365]

Love the outcome. What is the first "vine" plant that you were trimming

Hi, I love your videos. I want to make one too and was wondering what size bowl/terrarium you used, I looked for it in the links but couldn’t find it.

[@tyronecurrill8446]

Lovely video, do those types of isopods eat your plants ??

[@darrenhurrell]

Amazing video. What were the cuttings you added ?

[@kalisha9580]

Very nice video :) I planned to get some Isopods, too, but where not sure how to make a nice encloser for them. Now I have so many ideas! Where did you got those moss spores?! I can't find ANY... only spores mixes of shredded moss and that is not growing well.

[@janelightning73]

Such a beautiful tiny world...hey, are isopods also known as "rolly-pollies?"

[@wb8047]

cool man! this looks alot nicer than a bin with dirt and bark in it lmao. i'm on an isopod facebook group and most people just have shelves full of closed plastic bins, and you look inside and it's just dirt and some tree bark, what's the point other than a breeding supply at that point lmao

[@brightballoon]

When you clip a plant at the point where it branches off like that, does it root into soil if you plant it?
