3x1 - I Found a Surprising Lizard Born in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
August 4, 2024
The most unexpected baby creature was born in my gaint rainforest vivarium, and there may possibly be more! It seems to be breeding season for many of the exotic animals living within our double rainforest vivarium kingdom of Pantdora & Orchadia.

3x2 - My Mushroom Growing Operation Using Termites in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
August 11, 2024
I'm conspiring with special termites to grow a highly valued mushroom species called Termitomyces. It's a fungus that is known to only be cultivated in the wild by termites, who farm the fungus as a food source within their nests. Scientists still don't know how to artificially cultivate the fungus in a lab or grow it agriculturally like most other edible mushrooms. The issue is that the mushroom and the termites are involved in a symbioitic relationship, where one cannot survive without the other, and so, using the natural conditions of my giant rainforest vivarium, I hope to be the first in the world to grow Termitomyces indoors. This is the epic story of how I intend to do it. Hope you enjoy Season 3, Episode 2 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
3x3 - An Ant War Broke Out After Adding 6 Ant Colonies Into My Rainforest Vivarium
August 20, 2024
I started the biggest Ant War in my giant cloud rainforest vivarium. I felt Pantdora and Orchadia, my two connected tropical ecosystem tanks, required a greater biodiversity of ant species, especially because one of the ant species within, i.e Gnome Ants (Pheidole parva) have completely run a monopoly of the rainforest. In an attempt to balance the ant ecology out, I decided to add six more ant species into the vivarium. The result was a war, greater than anything the rainforest had ever seen. Hope you enjoy this Season 3, Episode 3 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series, and our celebratory video for hitting 6 million subscribers. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
3x4 - I Unleashed a Massive Colony of Weaver Ants Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
August 25, 2024
Weaver ants are some of the most aggressive ants I've ever worked with, but I felt our giant rainforest double vivarium was ready to host such an arboreal ant species. I was curious to see how the weaver ants would integrate into our contained ecosystem. Would they completely eat everything, attack other ant species, and lead to ecosystem collapse, or will they integrate harmoniously into the foodweb? Through this experiment, I was determined to find out, but the weaver ants had a few surprise plans. Hope you enjoy Episode 4, Season 3 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever!

3x5 - An Invasive Species Could Be The End to My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
September 1, 2024
I spotted a species in my giant rainforest vivarium, that could end my whole ecosystem project for good, but the true mystery of its identity required the help of scientists to classify the animal appropriately and determine whether or not the creature was truly a threat to the vivarium and all its creatures within, or if it simply was a false alarm. Hope you enjoy this episode on ant taxonomy and the dangers of invasive species on ecosystems.

3x10 - Update on the Mystery Egg in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
November 3, 2024
I dug up a mystery reptilian egg that I found in my yard, from my giant rainforest vivarium, Pantdora. I had thought it was dead, but it seems the ecosystem and conditions within the vivarium were perfect for the egg's incubation, as it failed to rot and decompose even after over a month later. I felt, for my safety and that of the animals within the vivarium, it was time to take matters into my own hands and dig up the mystery egg to candle it and check for a living fetus. Doing so was quite the adventure. Hope you enjoy this Episode 10, Season 3 of my Eocsystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
