My new good friend is legally blind and has this setup for a Red Slider turtle. Is this ok?
Just one rock to set up on and the rest is water. Seems inappropriate to me but I don't know anything about it. Says he's 16 years old.

IKEA Rudsta terrarium (biggest project yet)
Hey, I’m planning on making terrarium in a RUDSTA (wide). Here’s my current list of plants I plan to put inside of it aside from the mosses (flat and cushion.. only ones that I can get my hands on):
Ficus sagittata variegata
Solanum evolvulifolium
Sonerila dongii
Philodendron micans
Selaginella uncinata
Selaginella Red Ruby
Ficus quercifolia
Begonia amphioxus x malachosticta hybrid
Scindapsus pictus variegated
Peperomia Pink Lady
Marcgravia sp.
Labisia pumila
Passiflora sp.
Piper sp.
Jewel Orchid (Macodes / Ludisia) (undecided)
Pellionia repens
Sonerila sp.
Solanum uleanum
Begonia ferox (undecided)
Drosera capensis Red (for the fungus gnats that I absolutely have a hard time dealing with)
Most of these are small cuttings, I want to start small so I can get a glimpse of how everything grows in there.
I’m unsure if I’ll be adding a fan (maybe 2) or not, and if I won’t I’ll probably not use any weatherstripping so I could at least get a little air circulation.
For the lighting I plan to use two mother plant lights (16 inch)
For the general structure (will use the three walls) I will use lots of foam, aquarium silicone, fern wood panels, cork bark pieces, lots of spagnum moss, and coco coir. And maybe a large piece of driftwood, still undecided
The substrate, I haven’t decided exactly the proportion’s of the blend, but I have everything I probably need in hand.
I know it might seem that I haven’t prepared much as of now, but I don’t want to stick to a plan just yet as there’s much at play and I want to take my time to prepare everything first.
Should I worry about the air circulation, any suggestions on having the fans/ weatherstripping? I’m worried about this the most
Any additions/edits to the plant list ?
I’ll appreciate any suggestions/judgements you have on anything I’m doing, this will be a 3-6 month project for me :).
Sorry for the long post

1st bioactive build...thoughts?
This is my first bioactive build for a baby ball python. It’s been planted for about a month so far and seems to be doing well. Planning on adding my snake in a few more weeks. Feedback welcome!

How often should I water?
I just made my first terrarium and I’m using this glass container that’s not completely airtight but it’s still sealed, I was just wondering how often I should water it

Where to buy these specific glass terrariums?
Hi guys, I am looking for moss terrarium containers with a glass cover lid or glass lid with rubber gasket like the pictures below. I don’t like any knobs or metal wiring or holes in my container. Do you know where I can find them that are around one gallon in size? I have found some but they are too small.

Hiii I’m hoping someone can tell me what’s going on in my terrarium??
I’ve had this terrarium for a good few months now and it’s been good for a bit, but recently I’ve had algae over my perlite and around two months ago flies started appearing. (I don’t know what kind) They were small but similar to a fruit fly in appearance, so I tried to get them out but they wouldn’t leave and it was like every day I saw more and more that I could’ve sworn weren’t there. They’re gone but now what looks like a possible millipede is in there??? I don’t leave it open enough for one to get in if it somehow climbed up to my bedroom. I’m not sure if this is bad or if I should just leave him be in there, it doesn’t freak me out but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

What are these little sprouts.

Finishing the background completely changed this vivarium build
Finally got the background dialed in on my china cabinet vivarium build and it made a huge difference.
Up until now it still felt like a workbench project, but this step really brought it together and gave it some depth.
Still a lot left to do (waterfall, planting, etc.), but this was a big milestone.

Updated my terrarium with more stuff from local parks (:
Way more soil and WAY more moisture. Now my few worms won't be stuck in just a small portion of the tank. More grasses and little sprouts which will hopefully survive with new placement in room (:
