Isopod Tree Root Forest Vivarium

We've made so many different projects over the years and many of those builds included isopods. Till now, you've mostly seen them in vivariums and terrariums, which were a lot of fun. Even still, I haven't made a dedicated setup for them yet. Why? I honestly don't really know. Now seemed like the perfect time though.

I wanted to do things differently for this build. The enclosure itself is pretty standard, other than the sliding doors. I typically wouldn't use them on such a small enclosure. It worked for this because the tank is long.

I also wanted to showcase how to make a clay background. Although I've made them in the past and mentioned them in previous videos, I've never properly showcased them before. That said, I did briefly mention them in the Wabi Kusa Tutorial.

The combination of various elements made for a unique-looking setup that showcases the isopods well. As I said in the video, I wanted to loosely replicate the look of a fallen tree. Specifically the uprooted area. I didn't have much to work with at the time, but regardless, I think I pulled off that look quite well.
