xhexdx's vivarium picture thread

They really are all quite lovely.

I did watch some of that prezi, but it made me too motion sick to watch the whole thing.

Haha sorry about that. It works much better on a massive screen with me talking for a few minutes at each section. The presentation only contains basic information to remind me what to focus on. I'm not a fan of lectures where all the info is written word for word on each slide so I wanted to balance something that was visually appealing while creating more attention on what I actually said.

Np. Prezis are awesome. They give you so much more flexibility in visual organization than the linear format of ppt. But, alas, I get motion-sick very, very easily and have to strategically avert my eyes during transitions after a while. I have to do that in all kinds of situations.

Three new vivaria I built today - the smaller two are for sale at the flea market, and I'm trying to decide what to put in the large one:

Your vivs look great, as always. I'm a huge fan of the genus Hoya. Is that carnosa you've got in there? I would imagine they love the extra humidity. One thing to keep in mind--Hoya vines can go through periods of massive growth under the right conditions.

I remember seeing this thread awhile back, but i wasn't a member yet. I saw the thread got bumped, and just wanted to say that these look awesome dude! It would be cool if you could make some side profit here and there at the flea market. I'm sure you will. Those would sell like hotcakes at the local farmers market here!

 

[Robotponys]

So awesome! I'm definitely making one of these for the hopefully sOon to order h. Incei slings.

Yep, Hoya carnosa and the variegated is Hoya carnosa exotica. I'm glad you like them.

Thanks to everyone else as well.

Well, hate to hijack but if anyone grows these plants could you let me know if these are good for terrariums? Thanks in advance. These are all low light/shade plants I think.

Ficus pumila Snowflake
Hedera helix Mini Easter
Pilea cardieri
Selaginella kraussiana brownii

And for inhabitants, probably H. Incei communal, feeder colony possibly (is this suggested? If it is what type?) and detrivores such as: tropical dwarf woodlice, red wigglers, etc. All in a glass jar (maybe I will have more than one). Anything I'm missing?

Why not just start your own thread

I haven't worked with the last three species you listed, but Ficus pumila does very well in terrariums. I'm sure that cultivar would do just as well as any other.

 

[Robotponys]

Great idea! A little copy and paste should do it... Thanks, I will probably use all of them they seem easy from limited googling.

 

[Moonbug]

I absolutely love your Poecilotheria rufilata set up! What kind of food do you feed them in that Vivarium?
My son has a poison dart cage where he has springtails and isopods in it. What other detritivores do you use?

 

[xhexdx]

Woo! Sold one this weekend, finally!

I'm now $40 richer.

Congrats! Is that all profit or what it sold for? They are all very nice BTW.

 

[xhexdx]

Sold for $40, I spent less than $15 on it.

Current set of vivaria for sale at the flea market:

[xhexdx]

Well my house is packed with them and I live in the same area as you. If you ever want to see some or buy some Ts you are welcome to head over.



And once again Joe I'm glad I could help you get started on these.
