#ecosystem #paludarium #vivarium Scorpions, Death Feigning Beetles, Mexican Jumping Beans, and so much more! Over the past 100 days, I documented my little chunk of the desert. Watch as it transforms from a barren wasteland into a thriving ecosystem! Text: within this tank lives a miniature World there are predators and prey wind and rain this desert is a dangerous place but Despite All Odds some animals have evolved to survive it transformed from an empty Wasteland to a thriving ecosystem to understand the Mysteries within first we must go back to day one it all started when I got the tank some materials and a whole lot of cacti I proceeded to mix up some dirt and then build up the substrate after placing in some rock I begin to plant the cacti ouch their spines are extremely sharp and it was a huge pain to plant anything I added in some final touches and the tank was complete this will serve as the foundation for a thriving ecosystem on day three I introduced the first animals these are called isopods as you can see I have two varieties here clowns and zebras after I place them in they began to search for shelter alongside the isopods I introduced springtails and buffalo beetles these two detrivores will eat probably.
