They may not be the first animal you'd expect to find in this community, but the rubber ducky isopods in SerpaDesign's new video definitely made me say "awww."
Also speaking from personal experience, yes, if you start collecting isopods you end up with a wall of containers. We used to live in a basement where we could have tanks to our hearts content and alongside 1500 gallons of aquariums we had 8 tubs for isopods if memory serves me correctly.
Don't assume that. You have no idea how many unintentional wonderful isopod habitats exist on your property. Rather than building a terrarium, you can encourage them to come to your garden. !fucklawns@lemmy.world
One again everytime I watch a vid of his I want to move back into a basement apartment so I can have tracks to my hearts content and not worry about the load capacity of my floors.
If I ever get out of this apartment that only allows nano tanks, I - and my floors - will be in trouble. So many ideas, so little usable space for them all.
He inspired me to convert an emergency egress casement (window well in a basement,) into a terrarium.
That was something I had the local code inspector weigh in on first, but, I covered up the hideous galvanized wall with a facade of slate (inch thick, cut into 1/8-1/4 inch wide strips.) with mosses, liverworts and some other odds and ends.
It definitely was a way to bring some green into the basement.
The jar terrariums are also easy and I may have made a few of those…
