2x12 - Flying Fire Ant Queens Broke Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
June 22, 2024
A swarm of fire ants had a nuptial flight in my home. The Crimson Knights, my ravenous pet fire ant colony living on their open-concept, volcanic island ant farm, called Volcania, decided to spontaneously launch a nuptial flight, i.e. an annual ant breeding event. Usually captive ant colonies don't have nuptial flights indoors, but this fire ant colony unexpectedly did, and the escaped fire ant queens and males were everywhere. What was worse was that a pregnant queen ant may have gotten into my giant ecosystem vivarium, Pantdora, which if so, would be disasterous for my ecosystem project. But I had a wicked solution!

2x13 - I Constructed a Tree Canopy Vivarium
July 7, 2024
I 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!

2x14 - I Connected My Two Giant Rainforest Vivariums Together
July 15, 2024
I created a giant 2-storey cloud rainforest ecosystem vivarium and the result blew my mind. The double vivarium world consists of a rainforest floor vivarium (Pantdora) on the first floor and my new tree top canopy vivarium (Orchadia) on the second floor. Upon unblocking the glass bridge that joins the two biological worlds, I was shocked by all the life that moved upward into the trees, as well as the variety of new creatures already existing in the new canopy vivarium. Hope you enjoy this Season 2, Episode 14 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
2x15 - I Added Animals Into My Giant Canopy Vivarium
July 21, 2024
I added more animals into Orchadia, my new giant rainforest canopy vivarium. It was an event I call GAIA II, i.e. the second Great Animal Integration Advent, whose purpose is to seed the treetop ecosystem with life. But with the addition of these new and exciting creatures, the resident caiman had adapted a new diurnal schedule for hunting and exploring on land. This new behaviour put pressure on the sunk skinks, who were now direct competitors for food and territory, forcing me to come up with a really tough solution lest things got grim. In the end, everything changed! Hope you enjoy this Season 2 finale of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
