Millipede Mountain Cloche Terrarium

[@SerpaDesign]

I came up with this idea last week and had to make it happen! Been wanting to do something with millipedes for awhile and thought this would be a perfect way to showcase them. What do you think?! Also I went back to my original recording voice... I can't believe how many of you thought I was sad last week. I simply decided to talk instead of narrate. I appreciate how many of you provided encouraging words though. SerpaSquad 🌿

[@judytrahan6121]

Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect idea!

[@_royalant]

Another reason, why you shouldn't use your normal mix is the coco fiber. The coco fiber will usually be lethal to millipedes. I think, the only reason, you still found a fee was, that it also includes other stuff. But if you want some millipedes in a vivarium, you should think of a better option for coco fiber.😄 Sorry, if it's written a bit weird, I'm still sick from the flu, so my head doesn't work well😂

[@davefisher8421]

This might be my favorite build yet. exquisite design! And you somehow never mentioned the gorgeously thematic dragon stone, dragon wood, and flame moss!

[@DizzyKittyKitty]

I can't wait to see this all grown out. What a great idea and great use for this container!!!

[@rejacklegger4682]

[@theraptorsrampage3253]

I don't think I've ever seen a terrerium setup like this, but my favorite part is the "vine". I think it would be cool to make a huge setup specifically for millipedes, isopods, springtails, worms, and other cleanup crews. Edit : Punctuation error

[@dannybailey6443]

TheRaptorsRampage AntCanada did something like this although he focused on functionality over aesthetics. He called it the “Nucleus” and it only houses worms, millipedes and others that you mentioned which he uses to cultivate a diverse substrate additive to his other enclosures. It would be really cool to see what Tanner could do with an idea like that but put his artistic touch on it.

[@brookederegt5245]

I would absolutely love to see this actually. I recently tried my hand at ants and it didn't go well so I've decided to try bottom feeders. I have snails who recently had babies and the isopods seem happy to crawl around in with them and have bred on their own too. No plant survives that terrarium though, lmao.

[@jamiesiebold3410]

Hey man in the future when you’re taping a round edge, rather than curving the tape and creating folds the epoxy can get under, try applying straight strips all the way around and cut it off along your line with a razor blade. It will leave less gaps and folds for the finish to seep under.

[@dustinalexander8479]

E H I think he just changed his mind about how he wanted it to look toward the end. Had he gone in wanting the whole base black, I’m sure he would have painted it earlier on

[@kevinbrowning8184]

One of my favorites so far! The contrast between the stone, plants, and roots all give it a real life landscape look. Great work and thank you for the inspiration.

[@leefi1]

The "Dragon" stone is called Ohko in Japan and Taihu in China, both are revered in their countries of origin. Interestingly, they are most often used as you used them, placed at a right angle to how they are found in nature. This is a remarkably beautiful terrarium. You are an artist. I am even beginning to warm up to millipedes...If you are ever in Portland, Oregon, the Chinese Classical Garden recreates a typical scholar's home in Suzhuo, China, complete with literal tons of dragon rock from clay-filled caves outside of the city of Suzhou. I think you'd feel at home there.

[@saltpepperketchup7082]

[@ThunderStruck15]

@@guesswhat5200 it’s still not enough. They need to be surrounded by food, and they need their height in substrate to molt.

Yeah substrate is super important for millis. They need a good amount of it and it needs to have pretty specific components which were not included at all.

After attempting to work with a design that includes roots I have realized how much talent it takes to do what you do...mine didn't come out anywhere as nice, but I realize it is because of the way you drape the roots over the stone...mine looked more like I stuck them in at weird angles!
