it should be noted that you reproduced late Carboniferous period.
I remember mentioning that but it might have gotten cut out of the final video.
Why is it specifically a late carboniferous palaeoenvironment?
Because of all the carbon he put in the environment, which wouldn't have been present at the beginning of the carboniferous.
I think it should also be mentioned that vascular plants existed in the Silurian and Devonian.
16:15 you said it
Needs more giant dragonflies
Agreed, sadly I couldn’t find any that were still alive.
@@theCodyReeder Loved the inclusion of myriapods though! I wonder how many generations it would take within your terrarium for you to start seeing significant increases in size?
Your guess is as good as mine.
They've actually done tests on this topic and they start seeing major size changes after only a few generations.
@@TierZoo Hey, why don't you do a video about base building! Bees, wasps, termites, ants, ground hogs, which one has the best base and which ones have the worst. I wont watch it because I have a phobia of bee hives, but surely some people will.
I could watch an hour long version of this
Omg all my favorite channels know each other! Ave, Cody's lab, Bobby Duke,Nile red and the hacksmith.
well said...loved the preamble describing the "Carboniferous" Period
100% agree. That was excellent content!
Me too
I was going to suggest a permanent live broadcast with a rotating camera. Slowly turning around the bottle scanning it.
Cody's optioms
1. Pull out plant
2. BURN IT WITH A LASER
Okay StyroPyro
(High tech) lightning strikes, which happened during this time. If the Carboniferous Period had similar moisture content, how likely were forest fires?
i don't wont to set the world on fire.
a meteor wasn't available
2.2 recreating the end of the carboniferous era
It's been a whole year Cody! How's the terrarium going? I think a lot of us are very interested but no pressure!
I agree
came back to see if there was an update, hopefully one soon! :)
Up
Eve I see someone else with the pfp, I tip my hat to you
It's dead.
Nice explanation on the end of the carboniferous era.
Hello
Hullo
THE WORLD IS FLAT
Fancy seeing you here! :) Back to space I go!
Shame though that one can't buy 30 meter high bottles. Needs to have one of those giant tree ferns to really show of the carbonifreous vegetation.
Thumbs up if you think Cody should put a bunch of sensors inside to track Oxygen/CO2/temp etc and post a regular update of the graph
Yes please with real timr data logging!!
I don"t think the Carboniferous era had sensors :P
Yoooooooooo... You could even do a standalone system with a RPi or something
If plausible for him to do this that would be amazing. Great idea!
"Vascular plants had just invented ligma"
Ain't gettin me on this one Cody
*cody*
"it's been converted in another indigestible polymer"
*me*
laugh at first
*also me*
crying in the inside thinking about the horrible future ahead us
think about it man, nature evolved to eat lignin and it will do the same for plastic. In time of course
Horrible future? Dude mankind will evolve and so will the rest of the universe. It will all be cool
actually lignin was digestible back in the day, the carbon formation has nothing to do with some bacteria failing to break down lignin
@@lennox1818 We are nature. Just like wood or plants, plastic is a natural byproduct of humanity. We don't see it as natural yet though.
No don't put the slugs inside, they WILL ruin your terrarium.
I had made a terrarium about a year ago. It grew wonderfully for a over a month. The plants, flourished. I had a lot of moss, a little fern and a little Malva sylvestris along with many other wild plants, all of which where pretty hardy. So after a month of establishing my terrarium a tiny snail hatched, probably from an egg i had taken along with the soil i put inside. I thought it wouldn't hurt the equilibrium of my little cosmos, since the snail was tiny an all, so i left it in. I was wrong! The snail ate almost all of my plants except the moss. I was amazed that the little bugger would eat so much. So end result terrarium ruined, a lot of decaying matter and not many plants to support the oxigen requirments. So snail dead due to the lack of oxigen. Damned pity, i had given it a name, Hermes, since they are hermaphrodites.
I still have some photos that i took with my phone of the terrarium in it's prime, if you'd be interested to see them tell me and i'll upload them on gdrive
Did it leave slime trails all over the glass? That was my first concern.
you damn little slug
Rip Hermes
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 No nothing that you could clearly see. Mind you Hermes did like to climb the wall and sleep near the jar's lid, i don't know why though. So i guess the high amount of moisture combined with the small size of the snail, helped to keep the glass clean.
I'd like to see these pictures
Only Cody can make watching grass grow exciting
Grass didn't evolve until after this period.

Hey, @Cody'sLab ! How r u doing? I was wondering if the carboniferous' bottle will have an update. I'm a geologist and I'm reaaaaaaally curious about it! Thank you for this amazing experiment!
I concur! @Cody'sLab lease give us an update, it's still just an idea to us until you give it time to grow!
I wanna know about it too. So please post the update :)
Nice job Cody!
So what are the results to date? A huge terrariam fad back in the late 60's during flower power dayz on westcoast . ANY large glass container became mini indoor gardens. Hanging usually, in very large macrame' art forms. Old school is cool school. Trippy dude. Lol!
yeah update pls
I check every day for an update on this!
Please show us how it's doing soon Cody
BREAKING NEWS: Utah Man Eaten By 30 Foot Millipede!
Underrated comment.
I guess you will have to call it a maxapede ,,and if we are going for headlines you can do a long list based on previous experiments
What if we add armor to this 30 Foot Millipede? It can become the next big thing since sliced tank!
Sounds like a plot to a great movie" coming soon Jurassic Millipede"...rite after "Jurassic Chicken".
Weren't they herbivores?
I think a series of terrarium building videos would be awesome.
i agree
You could also watch videos from SerpaDesign if you like these.
@@aapolanko2 Cody's would involve more in depth chemistry and history on previous geological era's. Serpa's are just how-to's.
I agree
Yes!
whats happened to this, i was actually excited to see the progress
it's possible he will post an update in 20 days, because then a year would have passed.
This Channel hope so!
I keep waiting for an update, very intersted!
Update today!
it's been a while, please give us update on this, or even better, make another time period!
Yes please. I would like to know how it looks now.
Pre-Cambrian FTW!
WHERE IS DE UPDATE!?!?!?
I was loving this idea from the very beginning, then it just got better and better
I vote for no slugs btw
Slugs would definitely take over
"But my version of Jurassic Park would have chickens instead of dinosaurs" proceeds to show clip of turkeys. haha
I scrolled until a saw someone else caught that.
Aren't chickens also dinosaurs?
@Bryan SiscoInteresting...
Paleontologist Jack Horner is busily helping convert chickens back into dinosaurs. He gave a TED talk about it. "Fix the chicken"
3:41 "indigestable"
Turtles: *ARE YOU.... CHALLENGING ME???*
Cody: *brings out a container filled with springtails*
AntsCanada: Say no more.
works better with SerpaDesign
its a terrarium building channel, and they love springtails
@@ASlickNamedPimpback he's channel is more better too
Cody slab is great.
Hahahahhaah I just saw something very hideous! I looked in the mirror! But I am the best TH-camr of this generation so it is all good! Thanks for you attention dear kris
That's Cody sLab
watch the intro again
return the slab or suffer my curse
@@thomasgottschalkistmeinfan347 I was referring to how Cody capitalized the "l" in "Lab" even though it doesn't look like the beginning of a separate word.
Centipedes are predators and need a constant supply of large insects. Putting a cricket in there one a month will keep the centipede happy and the springtails and millipedes will eat the leftovers and it will add nutrients for your plants! Like this so Cody can see
The centipedes might go extinct...
For the limited nosh, good there was only one centipede then! Besides, probing centipede genitals to construct a family.... =-/
but, towards the end, there was a scene with 2 centipedes meeting underground? 18:32
Could pikachu live in this atmosphere? You could feed your centipede pikachu meat.
@@theCodyReeder
Herbivorous millipedes might do well if you want large, period-correct animals.
So much info!. Love it!! Please never leave YT Cody. Great video
Thanks Cody for doing these projects. I love learning new things and you have an interesting way of explaining them. Keep being awesome. Much love!!
Damn. This video is jam packed with a metric ton of good scientific info.
Better be careful or youtube will terminate you for being too entertaining.
steveXracer yeah its math
thx for using metric

AvE needs to teach Nile Red to use a table saw 😂
@@bloodyricho1 well i see what you did there but... There is no need to cry how someone uses a table saw.
Cody I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. You do so much, you teach me so many different things. I love your teaching style and I love sharing your awesome experiences with you. I'm in awe!!! Thank you for your channel.
I have watched this over 5 times now. Good job Cody. Awesome work!
Up next on Cody's Lab: "Giant Insects Grown in Oxygen Enriched Environments"
At least they'll stuck in the bottle, if they grow any bigger
- A13X - honestly I'd like to see this
TheNoobStevio Honestly me too
SuperNinjaJuice unless Jurassic Park 2.0 happens
It will be interesting to see the first generation of arthropod offspring in this high-oxygen environment. I remember a paper where arthropods that were exposed to high oxygen already in the egg did grow significantly larger, even without any genotypical adaptation to this environment.
BTW, super interesting project and while I heard about the 30% oxygen countless times, somehow nobody ever bothered to point out that the partial pressure of the oxygen was actually twice as much as it is today. That's the much more relevant figure, so shame on people for not mentioning it.
@宫思南 Increased pressure causes higher levels of dissolved oxygen. It's what causes oxygen toxicity, more than just increasing levels of oxygen would.
That's likely because genetics aren't as set in stone as we once thought. A lot of genes express themselves differently and even modify other genes depending on certain environmental factors and/or diet.
If the oxygen added to the atmosphere was mostly created from carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere, wouldn't that mean the mass of the atmosphere should have decreased?
I wonder what would happen to humans over 10 generations or so if they were put in a similar environment! We know what happens when there is less oxygen because people who live at higher altitudes have developed greater regulatory systems of oxygen respiration and blood circulation.
@宫思南 Partial pressure is actually the number that matters when talking about chemical/ biological processes. At sea level we have 1 bar of pressure with 21% oxygen, so there is 0.21 bar of oxygen present (the partial pressure of oxygen). If we compress air to 2 bar, it now has 0.42 bar oxygen, which is effectively the same as if you had air with 42% oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure.
This is why divers have to mix inert gases like helium into their breathing gas to go deep; below a certain depth the partial pressure of oxygen in normal air gets so high that it actually becomes toxic. (This isn't the only reason - we could just use a higher percentage of nitrogen, but that would cause a whole load of other problems relating to the bends).
We need an update!
Leave it to Cody to make the coolest and most interesting terrarium ever. Great job.
We want a Cody's Lab and NileRed collab!
You mean a co-Lab? :)
I hope it happens!
Too bad Nilered is in Canada
Someone actually asked nile red about that in a stream he did some time ago. He said it's unlikely for a good while because finding a mutual topic is hard but that's the smallest issue. Logistics aren't in the favor as they live really far away and transporting equipment and materials would be a challenge as well.
YESS!
no slugs allowed
Imagine the glass after a few days. Eww.
Yeet
Anton Zuykov no they don’t
cody used salt!! it was super effective!!
😢 so sad made me cry
This was great, and honestly I'd watch at least 20 minutes of footage watching all the little bugs roaming around. This terrarium fascinated me! I'm very impressed, and you explained it all so well. Like adding the nutrients, checking the PH, how much water, this was a very cool video.
That is the most interesting project i've ever watched! I'm very curious what will happen after several months. Please don't stop uploading videos like this!

These videos are so amazing and fun to watch! PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!
Cody, I only discovered you about 2 days ago and I've been on a bender watching your completely bonkers yet wonderful videos. You're such a delight to watch and I love your content, please keep making more weird and awesome things happen, as cool as your experiments are I think I actually watch it for you! Anyway would love an update on this terrarium too. Many thanks and best wishes from New Zealand :)
This is why I love science TH-camrs, no drama, just straight Science and recommending other youtubers. Hey Cody, if you are reading this would you mind trying to make a Gallium-Bismuth alloy?
You mean these science youtubers who don't try to get cheap views with explosions on every video?
Hey guys! I sure do wonder what happens if I pour liquid nitrogen into molten metal! Don't you guys? Don't you?
yep cody has yet to be arrested for explosions in his backyard, lets keep it that way
i want to see a much bigger version of this. say... a 50 gallon fish tank? not a pressurized one but just to see all the life that thrives while being completely isolated from the outside world. or maybe an extremophile version where you recreate a 50% terraformed martian atmosphere and include plants and animals that can handle those conditions.
i might do it. :)
Could check out some of Antscanada's videos....
Tyger Marez
I was going to say i want him to make a walk in one. But it would be to expensive to make and i think maintain the oxygen levels.
@@lilcan7964 plus the risk of a breach is higher with a larger pressurized container

AntCanada only does ants. Not what tyger said.
Awesome concept and execution! Love the idea of the laser for managing non-period invaders!
You're awesome Cody! Love your videos. I started following you when you signed up for the Mars project. I showed your audition video to my 8th grade Science students.
All hail Cody, Destroyer of Flowering Plants, behold his might Plant Zapping Death Ray!
Only carboniferous kids remember this
yeah man, people need to respect our carboniferous life, we used to eat coal for breakfast ffs
@@tatotiteta Yeah man, remember this long running without getting tired? Today's 21% oxygen really sucks
@@perz1val stupid animals sucking our air.
IKR, all these ”hip” kids don’t know what 35% O2 felt like
Good old times
I really enjoyed this video Cody. Very well thought out and informative.
Still eagerly waiting on an update! I was surprised that I haven’t even seen any other similar projects, at this rate I’ll have to resort to making my own hyperoxic terrarium
cody it has been so long
I’d say no Slugs, keep it as accurate as possible. Love the video and the project in general tbh. Keep it up!
You should set a live webcam stream on that jar
That is a very interesting idea!
yeah
That would be neat
Hell yea, I'd give him a raspberry pi with a camera to do that in a heartbeat
I'd check in daily
I could watch that bottle all day! Looking forward to all future updates on this experiment.
Man I love your videos thank you for sharing your experiments
I found an old coke bottle in the woods that was perfectly horizontal in a swampy area. It had a mini forest inside it. I brought it home and it's been growing for more than ten years. Still have it.
Due to overwhelming demand.ive got my mother bringing the bottle to my place to shoot some video of it.TBC.
Right I'd love to see that
That sounds awesome. You definitely should post a video of it (or you could even just post a photo on Imgur and link to it).
Ed Lomonaco echoing everyone else here, please share!
We need a video of this! or at least pics, please!
That's cool
i swear this video is going to get copyright claimed for those .5 seconds of Jurassic Park bit.
Nightingale , your comment has been copyright claimed for mentioning J******* P***.
thumbs up for the nilered drop. love to see youtubers support each other. i know you watch a bunch of his vids bc you keep commenting on them, so even better to support people you really enjoy.
To get the plants in you use a section of pvc pipe slightly longer than the bottle and drop the plants down it into a hole then all have to do then is get your gabber tool and bed the plant in. Great video love learning from you Cody thank you 🙏
I'd say don't add the slugs in this experiment. Maybe add them in another one but I think it would be better to keep it limited to just the organisms that were around in that time period for now.
yeah but the slugs dont know, if we dont tell them
@@jusb1066 looool
It needs at least 1 lizard I say ^_^
You should grow some additional reeds indoors with the same temperature / light exposure as the ones in your experimental jug, but keep them in the regular atmosphere and compare how fast they grow as compared to the ones inside the jug.
They should grow a lot faster. Since a lot of plants today grow a lot faster than let us say, 30 years ago. But in reverse, there is less nutrients in the produce than compared to 30 years ago.
I’ve been avoiding subscribing forever, but you finally won me over. Great work, Cody!
You do the coolest things! Some of the stuff you do, I have been curious about. Many of your projects are ones I never thought about, until I saw them and bam, I was interested! Keep your creative skills and knowledge coming! I haven't seen an episode that I wouldn't want to watch! Thank you for your hard work!!
3:25 Does that mean that one day, millions of years from now, new coal deposits could form out of our ungodly amounts of plastic?
Given the right conditions; yes.
So what you're saying is we should throw away more plastic bottles, to ensure there's enough coal for future generations.
@@arathorn867 In order to fuel the fourth industrial revolution for the mole people soon to inherit the Earth I'll start disposing all of plastic products in public parks, waterways, and endangered animal sanctuaries.
To remove carbon from the atmosphere we basically need to turn it back into coal and bury it.
Which makes no sense as long as we're still digging it up and burning it.
@@Marc83Aus Which is why Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen recommend laying asphalt.
It's time to give the people what they want CodyDon..... Shrimp in a box 3..
That would be awesome! I made my own glass jar with shrimps last year and learned a lot on how I could improve it. It died in winter, because there was no longer enough light on my windowsill. This year I used a bigger jar and added more gravel than before, left more room for air and dropped in a few small pieces of wood. It was thriving during summer and is still alive, although I did not open it for 5 months. The small shrimp even procreated, which is supposedly something they only do under great conditions. Now in winter the water is less green and the algae are brown. But if you shake it a little, you can still see tiny oxygen bubbles rising to the surface.
Im so happy that you gave Nile Red a shoutout. He is a really great youtuber and explains everything well.
Ever since I saw someone made a sealed bottle of this i think in the UK it was something like 30 years or something. I've always wanted to make my own. Your one is so cool though as there are creatures and you've made it replicate a different time period. It's so amazing
Most turkey looking chickens I've seen.....
That's slot of chickens
Dont do the slugs. They will just eat the leaves and make your display all holey. Glad you got the springtails. Isopods would be a cool addition.
You need your own science TV SHOW!!!! OR RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!! YOU GOT MY VOTE.... I WATCH EVERY VIDEO YOU HAVE MADE.... IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW SMART YOU ARE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
cant wait to see the rest of these. this is so cool
"I would just have chickens..." SHOWS TURKEYS
His forte is chemistry not bio lol
Don't be a turkey
That's because in Cody's version of a chicken park he would have turkeys.

@@coltindupree4101 I'd like to take you seriously, but you're shouting. Are you a robot, enslaved and forced to spam comment sections?
@Coltin Dupree
If you read the bible it doesn’t claim anything of that sort. The 24 hour cycle day wasn’t even made before “day” 4. Verses 14-19. Also the hebrew word translated to day bear more meaning than a day. The creational days are simply periods or eras.
So no earth wasn’t created 6000 years ago, not from a scientific or biblical point of view.
The only thing you can trace back to 6000 years ago is the lineage to Adam.
@@coltindupree4101 Spells 'educational' wrong. Not a good start.
the king james bible only and there is too much proof in the world to not belive GOD created everything on this flat plain we live on!!!
Cody, you should setup a live feed where we can watch this thing grow and see the bugs 😄
Fantastic presentation
Very cool project cant wait too see more of it!!
After all this time, all these years, we finally got to see the Cody Slab
I think a long term ant farm in high oxygen atmosphere is in order. Lets see some GIANT ANTS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
would need to be very carful with the type of ant. Many ant species will consume everything faster than it can be replenished until there is nothing left and you just have a dead terrarium. Maybe if you had a big enough terrarium though. So, sure. lets make big ants, but it will take a big terrarium.
Collaboration with Ants Canada?
Thanks Cody, I like to watch your videos very much. Interesting infos, as always.
This could not have been any more interesting. Brilliant
Over the generations the bugs will grow bigger in the oxigen rich envinroments, like It was in the carboniferous, you just have to keep them alive to breed!
Cody i was so excited when i saw that you posted this video because some time ago i emailed you about this topic and we talked a little bit about It, i didn't know that you are so interested in It!
Love you Cody keep up the good work!
Don’t add the slugs, keep it true to your intentions
Might I also suggest not adding the centipedes? To prevent bigger centipedes.
Awesome and entertaining content as always, Cody!
Really looking forward to an update on this terrarium
I have a similar setup, but a smaller version, with ferns, moss, liverworts and few other unknown moss kinds of plants. Almost two years in a sealed condition, opened only once for 5 drops of water. It's still very much alive. The interesting part is the ferns have totally changed their leaf arrangement. Now, most of the ferns have only five pinnae on each frond. And some of the moss (don't know the exact species name), grew really tall with slender stems. So much of morphological changes have taken place. (Had few insects like yours, one centipede hatched by itself from the soil, but most of them died in two weeks time) Wish to see the follow-up video of yours.. Keep updating..
prove it.
@@StinkyBlack1 Yeah lets see it! Also, why would you open it, just to add 5 drops? How small was this tank, like 1 cup or smaller?
Don't lie Cody. We know you built a time machine and went back into time to grab all that stuff.
Also, I loved this! Please keep us updated!
It's always nice to see videos of this nature (no pun intended), perhaps a large part of why I love this channel so much, I think it's criminal that this doesn't have at least three times as many subs though.
I always find terrariums interesting. And your stylistic choice for this one makes it even more intersting!

I see what you did there

Coaldy slab
Is that anything like an Etho slab?
i belive it was
I've learned so much from these videos over the years. Cody is one of the very best youtubers imo. Would make an excellent earth sciences teacher
That was so interesting! The way you explained the period was so clear and helpful. It brought the late carboniferous to life! 😁
Cody is such a polymath. Love learning all these different subjects. I am lucky if I can keep 1 project going. How do you do it! And have a relationship. Have you been secretly cloning yourself?
@Nightingale He is my favourite Jesus, right before real Jesus and Gun Jesus Ian McCollum.
Science jesus has geology superpowers, thats why he can do so much on chemistry, mining palentology, thermodynamics, etc. It is stuff that a geologist kind of knows, but cody just nerded out on that stuff
Secret clones is Wheezywaiter's thing

Are we ever going to get an update?
Give us an update man!!! It's been one year.
I love how every pile of aquarium gravel I have ever seen has a few rogue florescent pebbles.
I have rouge marbles in my aquarium gravel. I put 150 marbles in a tank 15 years ago and the gravel marble mix is now spread through many tanks, the turtle enclosure and under my outside taps
That'll be the calcite (or maybe flourite... is there a mineralogist in the house?) ... I used to have a collection of gryphaea fossils. If you panned a UV light over them it looked like a mid 1990s dance party in full swing.

loved this video! Hope we see more updates on it!
