  • After months of planning and anticipation, I've built my second giant ecosystem vivarium, which will be an extened biological world of my cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora, however this new vivarium will simulate a tree canopy. Building the structure for the tank was truly a mission, and I couldn't wait to start landscaping, but a certain volcanic eruption event nearby had greatly altered my plans. Hope you enjoy this Season 2, Episode 11 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

      The humidity would make everything in the same room mold up. Ceiling tiles, door frames, you name it, it'll happen under that specific condition you described.
      Only way to make it work is to have a double door air lock system like space station or a submarine. The inside would need to be humid while the rest would need to be dry. In a room with common sheetrock, inside the walls it wouldnt take 6 months to turn blue and then it would spread right out through the sheet rock where anyone can see it. It would become a toxic environment for animals and humans where no mask that costs less than $100-200 is going to save your lungs from black mold spores.
      If bad enough they'd have to tear down everything and honestly start the house all over again in the "infected" parts.
      I went into an office building in july of 2021 during pandemic. Had to pick stuff up. From not having their ac on for months or maybe a year or longer, you couldn't breathe inside the place. It was on 6th floor and every piece of paper on every desk was curled up from humidity like a rolled up newspaper and the walls did have huge green splotches where I tried holding my breath as much as possible to get my items and sprint back down the stairs to never ever return again.
      So I personally witnessed what you said, can't feasibly be done without using specialized panels on the walls, floors, and ceiling too vs incredibly cheap sheetrock which I did see them using. Mold creeps right through that sheetrock as it did at my old office building. I was scared entering the place because out of 12 floors, I was the sole person they allowed to break protocol for, as I had VERY important things in my desk I had to retrieve. Covid happened in Nov 2019, and two people at work got it, were sent home, that same day without any warning, we were ALL told to go home and wait for further instructions. I would never go back inside that building because what they do in the industry, is put a pink anti mold putty over it, then a little sheet rock mud, sand it out, and then paint it where hey, out of sight, out of mind but I KNOW it's still there.
      People wonder why they don't feel good all the time and if you check out their place, usually there's incredible amts of black and green mold all over the place. Since they can't fix it themselves, they think "Oh well." and just live with it.
      Your idea is fantastic in theory, but in practice with what he's got right now, that would be impossible. He would really would have to redo half his whole mansion.

    The addition of the canopy vivatium is actually significantly smaller than I had anticipated. In my head, for some reason, it was going to be 3 or 4 times as big as it actually is. I anticipated a large square enclosure. I also think it would be extremely interesting and beneficial to make one of the additions like a hollow square, where there would be a section you could enter into the middle of and be surrounded on most sides by vivatium sides. So you could stand in the center and have almost a 360 degree view of the vivatium all around you. It might be cool to have a ladder build on the bottom floor where you could enter the center of the upper vivarium! That would be the perfect spot for the 24/7 livestream! maybe a 360 degree camera, or several different cameras to get different angles inside the vivarium!
    Either way, the new addition is so exciting and I can't wait for how it all comes together and continues to evolve and grow! Thanks for sharing all of this wonderful journey for us AC! ❤❤❤

    I would personally name the caiman Irwin in honor and tribute of Steve, the Crocodile Hunter, arguably the greatest conservationist we, as wildlife enthusiasts, ever had the privilege of watching. He’s a hero of mine and a man who inspired so many others to take on the responsibility we have as a species to protect the beautiful world we live in. Nowadays, his family and children continue to uphold his legacy, never resting in spreading his message of conservation and awareness for the often misunderstood creatures that inhabit this planet along with us. The foremost of which being crocodilians. We don’t deserve the Irwins.
    I really hope you reconsider. I posted this same comment in your last video but it was 2 days late so I don’t know if you or most of your viewers saw it but even then, it got a ton of likes. I suspect you got more votes for Godzilla because not enough people drew the connection to Steve for the name Irwin. I really think more people would’ve picked that name if they understood the reasoning behind it.
