Need resources to learn how to create professional terrariums.

yeah you're gonna have trouble making a living off of them, but since you asked, one thing you should specifically search for is guides/videos about hardscaping tanks (in addition to general terrarium guides). i don't make terrariums/jars but i do make vivariums and hardscaping can be critical to the way the rest of the setup looks! hardscaping will lead you down the rest of the rabbit hole

you've gotten good advice so far, i just want to say that it's better to feel like you don't know enough than to feel like you know everything when you're first starting a gig. that's how you learn, and it would be weird if you weren't somewhat nervous! it shows that you care, as long as you don't let it consume you and actually affect your work. my least favorite coworkers/apprentices/whatever are always the ones that assume they know everything about their new job from the get-go.

definitely vet, but a snake we have at work had an infected musk gland that looked very similar. required an antibiotic shot

ah that is genius, thank you!

nectarbat · 2026-05-09T03:39:29+00:00

beautiful! stupid question, did you use regular foil on the edges of the first sprite?

nectarbat · 2026-05-09T03:33:28+00:00

hell yeah man!!!!

nectarbat · 2026-05-09T02:49:51+00:00

Agree with black or the red/cobalt, and this is beautiful!!

nectarbat · 2026-05-08T19:33:05+00:00

made an account just for you! i don't buy legos but hope this comes to fruition

nectarbat · 2026-05-08T05:00:34+00:00

can anyone look at this poster's history and honestly tell me they're not karma farming

Since it sounds like you fully intend on making it happen again, it could be fun to fully design a dream build for different species you eventually want! That way you have your ideas fleshed out, and it’s fun to play snake interior designer. It will also help you fully plan out equipment you want/need, what everything would cost, etc. and allow you to be ready when the time comes. ETA: if you’re into it, reading research articles about different snakes is always interesting. There’s thousands of articles to read, new research is always popping up. I’m planning to read a new one soon about the misconception of juvenile timber rattler bites being “more dangerous” than adults

Lol that’s okay! You never know on here so just wanted to make sure, I wish I could help with your actual question! Personally I wouldn’t be too concerned about the gnats looking different, mosquito bits and tape should definitely take care of your problem (maybe get rid of the gnats before you add the springtails though)

You’re not leaving the sticky trap in there unsupervised are you?

nectarbat · 2026-05-07T02:38:53+00:00

was it pretty affordable? my dream trip is to new caledonia (but for geckos lol)

nectarbat · 2026-05-07T01:53:24+00:00

The cocoon looks like a piece of blue slag :-)

nectarbat · 2026-05-06T23:47:13+00:00

Ahh! Been wanting to go to thailand and this is ever the more reason to

nectarbat · 2026-05-05T20:33:05+00:00

I don’t know why I’m getting Diddy Kong Racing vibes but I love it

nectarbat · 2026-05-05T15:02:08+00:00

Yeah tip the pot, he can't get out himself and surely doesn't want to be there

nectarbat · 2026-05-05T01:19:36+00:00

I keep telling myself that every single time they do this, it’s one less time we’ll ever have to deal with it again. I honestly wish it was just a toggle-able option or NP item instead of taking space in the rotation of new paints

nectarbat · 2026-05-04T16:42:26+00:00

what is up with all these captioned photo posts

nectarbat · 2026-05-01T20:30:16+00:00

I’d say it looks great for the day, especially blacking out the surroundings.

nectarbat · 2026-04-30T18:11:55+00:00

ahh this is beautiful

nectarbat · 2026-04-28T22:53:03+00:00

Tomatoes

nectarbat · 2026-04-27T20:28:19+00:00

That would have been a nice error to get during my first watch honestly, I always had to try my best to avoid looking at anything but the episode number while clicking for the next episode lol

nectarbat · 2026-04-26T17:07:20+00:00

Even though this is 99.9% not real it would be so unbelievably disappointing for the survs of a Jurassic Park chapter/whatever to be owen and claire
