I Built a Giant Treetop Rainforest Canopy Vivarium
Рет қаралды 1,076,486
Ай бұрынI created the ultimate tree canopy vivarium, called Orchadia, a world of trees, an extension vivarium to my first giant cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora. The whole biological project of executing a canopy habitat was extremely challenging to construct, requiring me to stretch my terrarium-building skills. There were unique obstacles I faced creating this tree layer, which science knows contains the highest concentration of life in the rainforest. I researched, constructed, and even got a tip from a special creature already living within the vivarium. Hope you enjoy this Episode 13, Season 2 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

However, for the ecologic niche you’re describing, I’d go with the moth butterfly, whose life cycle I find equally as interesting. They predate and take advantage of tree ants nests, if the time is right I could see the potential in this environment but like others said it’s a chance that might not really be worth taking

“Et in Arcadia ego”🌎Greetings, Pantdora creator, and beautiful work. In bonsai, we encourage aerial roots in our banyan ficus three ways: 1) Limiting water to the rootball. 2) Increasing the ambient moisture in the crown/air with a humidifier. 3) The best and most fun - cut a slit up a plastic straw and trim it to fit so as propped between a branch/trunk and the soil. Inside the plastic straw is now a humidity chamber and a root node will activate and grow down the straw into the ground. Once established, we remove the straw. With larger material, any hollow plastic tubing that is pre-sliced will work but you might want to use black or paint it to match the surroundings until a natural root forms. The other methods will have multiple random aerial roots, this method allows for strategic placement of single roots. [I once made a large split-tank vernal pool with mole salamanders for teaching kids about wetlands, keeping the layers of balance is so hard!]

I’ve been following you for longer than I can remember, maybe close to 10 years now, and still, nothing compares to your channel. I’m a big arachnid nerd though, and I would absolutely love to see you do a Monocentropus balfouri colony. The only tarantula that has true communal traits imbedded into their behavior, and on top of that they’re prolific webbers with a beautiful grey/beige and blue coloring. I just feel like a really cool balfouri colony could be right up your alley, and if you did an enclosure for them I know you’d knock it out of the park. Since essentially all spiders and tarantulas are cannibalistic, it’s simply one of the coolest things in the world to me to have a large colony that thrives naturally in a communal setting. Regardless carry on brotha, it’s been a pleasure watching all your videos over the years.

This has probably been said *a lot* on this channel. But Normally this stuff doesn't really interest me, but this is, honestly, *better* than any nature documentary produced by much bigger studios. The storylines make it interesting and the constantly evolving "cast of characters" adds a level of intrigue to each episode making it feel more like a dramedy tv show than a nature documentary. I never thought I'd watch videos like this, let alone subscribe and look forward to the next episode every week. I never thought that when I first followed during the early days of Pantdora that it would evolve to include a 2nd, and possibly multiple other vivariums in the future. I never thought we'd go from simple ants and other various bugs/arachnids to literal mini dragons and dinosaurs. But here we are.

Love the look, but I think the reason you might have been struggling with the design is the balance of open space. On the lower level you have it well "grounded", but in the canopy you filled the lower space; but a canopies' space is more like an umbrella. It should be more top heavy with negative space below to create the sense of a drop or emptiness. Still far better than anything I have ever done.

But it could also create funds for an actual fund: The Ants Canada Wildlife Trust 🌿 With this you could help fund important conservation projects not just in the tropics but around the world.

You should STRONGLY consider replacing the English Ivy with Wax Ivy! (Ceropegia). English Ivy completely takes over growing spaces and is impossible to remove once it sinks its roots into trees and walls, you have to rip them out with a lot of force! 😅 The vivarium looks incredible! ❤

EDIT: I am talking about pest control OUTSIDE my home. - Do you want to know how changed I am because of your dedication and work on your channel? I canceled my pest control several months ago as you started to show me the beauty of the creatures that live around my home. I get excited now when I see an ant hill or an orb spider, weaving its magic at night. Sometimes I am still a little freaked out, however, a watch of one of your videos brings me back to the realization that God created these creatures and who am I to destroy? Thank you so much for shining a light on this often unrecognized and misunderstood ecosystem. I am forever thankful!

You've done a really amazing job with this one! The only thing I can think of that would make it better is if you threaded a large branch between the two vivariums to make them feel more like a single enclosure. I'm excited to see how these two spaces interact with eachother!
