I’m trying to design a 4x2x2 for my snakes but wanted to know if there’s anyone that can help me find any form of a digital terrarium builder.

Found a snail

Been looking for places to buy snails for my terrariums. Opened the lid to one and what was on the bottom? I assume it’s oxychilus alliarius. It’s so tiny!

The keep it simple approach

Someone helping me sent me this article

https://laidbackgardener.blog/2024/11/07/terrariums-made-easy/

To me the fun of a terrarium is that it’s a sealed environment and part of what makes the approach in the article work is that the bowls are open. But it is an simple approach that might appeal to some.

Hi gang! I’m going to be building a new tank and am will have a large area that I want a grass looking plant. What could I use?

Hit me with your ideas of grass/moss. The soil will remain moist but not soggy.

I really need help

Environment: saudi arabian deserts

So, I need to complete a terrarium for school, as it’s really necessary for me to pass. However, I have looked everywhere (7+ hours research), and no source is really helping me. All the videos show different insects from various parts of the world, and no one explains how to maintain a certain humidity or what animals I need for the bottom, middle, and top chain. Also, how am I supposed to add temperature control for a desert terrarium? Plus, no one explains how to create desert terrain with soil and what plants i need to add. Could someone please tell what on im supposed to do

if you can tell what i need you would save my life and lots of pain

Looking for low humidity plant which need watering rarely

Hey! I’m building custom 110x100x50 tank for my frogs. They have 30-40% of humidity with night spikes up to 50%. What plant will be able to grow in such a low humidity with rarely watering? For now I have monstera, I will have snake plants but I’m looking for something more! Thank you in advance!

ID on tiny plantlets?

I know this is a long shot, and I assume different soils and mosses can come with all sorts of hitchhikers, but I wonder if anyone here has any guesses as to what these tiny plants might be.

In the upper left corner you can see a few leaves of my Drosera spatulata for size comparison.

I’m wondering about the ferny-looking thing a bottom center (which is maybe 6 or 7 millimeters across), and the rounder leaves at the right (which my wife says is possibly some kind of liverwort).

What should I put in this Pyrex carboy?

Had this 5g container for over a year and still haven't put anything in it. Need help with some low-maintenance ideas. Thanks!

I got this 75 gallon lizard tank, any ideas on what I should put it on top of?

Im not even certain what I want to put inside it, but I know I want it to be lush and alive with some sort of reptile or amphibian. Im very much a beginner- any advice is appreciated

Tried one of those pre-made terrariums

Ordered a terrarium from PlantTerra.shop recently because I wanted to try out a pre-made one. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it! The quality and materials are great. It’s a bit smaller than I expected, but it’s unique and fits nicely in the room. Has anyone else ordered from them?

Why are my springtails hanging out only on the top of the glass?

Just got some little guys for my terrarium after facing a bit of a mould problem. They all keep climbing up the glass rather than burrowing and eating up the dead matter. Every day I flick them off back to the soil (hence why there are only a few on my photo). But they persist! Is this normal? Or do my springtails have no work ethic?

Possible reasons why the tips are turning yellow? Climacium moss.

These have been in this build for maybe a month or two. Its possible I gave them too much light at first. This has been a slow process. They don't seem to be getting any more yellow but I'm concerned. I mist them with distilled water once a week.
