How to Build Perfect Ant Farm And Spider Terrarium At Home

[Music] hi guys look what we have here we've decided to get ourselves new pets little ants this time ants are incredible creatures it's so interesting to watch them we've purchased a whole house for them an ant farm but we need to assemble it first are we going to be no sam ants are studied by murmicologists and we'll just be keeping the ants at home let's see what's inside [Music] here are all the parts i think i need to remove this protective layer [Music] cool give a thumbs up if you like removing protective layers from devices [Music] right like this till the last strip all the parts are clean and here we have pads for our ants we need to assemble them in a certain order here's their running ground next we'll need this blue sponge let's soak it in warm water squeeze the water out and place it into this cavity the sponge will create humidity without which the ants will die let's pull the sponge through this opening [Music] now we'll take these five plastic frames and put them together neatly and secure them with screws [Music] and another one [Music] now let's insert the screws into the openings like this we need to insert screws into each empty opening and now let's connect the side wall this will be the entrance for the ants now we'll screw everything in place but not too tight or the plastic will crack done let's set this aside we'll take the base and attach transparent walls to it and the right wall let's take the third wall and attach it carefully and now comes an exciting moment we're connecting the rooms to the house i feel like an ant builder to make the walls hold we'll fix them with rubber bands oh i love this it's so relaxing guys and on the other side we're done with the walls now let's secure the bottom [Music] the walls are secure so now it's time for the roof tada the roof shouldn't have any holes to fix that we'll use these two parts that will make the cover and this net again no sammy this won't let the ants escape [Music] i've inserted the net between two parts now let's secure them with the screws and on the other side [Music] let's cover our roof and plug the back door to make sure the ants stay inside we'll have the front door on the other side where our friends will enter the house here we have a tube that we need to fill with water and here's a sponge plug let's insert it into a special opening the moisture will gradually fill all the rooms of the formicarium the house is moisturized now we only need to add these steps at the entrance a kind of a porch [Music] awesome sami [Music] here are our residents let's take the cotton ball out here we have a special tunnel which we'll insert quickly and insert the other end into the house [Music] the first resident here comes the second one [Music] we really hope our ants will be comfortable in this house our ants are called cataclyphus innocents runner ants which live mostly in grasslands but also in semi deserts and deserts actually there are so many ants on earth that currently there are 1 million ants per human being the common worker ant lives from 90 days to 3 years and the ant queen can rain for up to 30 years look it's lifting something ants can carry weights 5 000 times heavier than their own weight can you imagine that our ants are called runners because they are incredibly fast they run faster than any other species of ant because they can lift their abdomen in a special way ants don't have ears how can they hear ants here with their knees and feet they sense vibrations from their surroundings they're always in a hurry no wonder ants are a symbol of hard work get inspired while looking at them sammy ah i had such a good sleep [Music] even sam is still asleep oh what's that interesting it looks like a piece of wool oh who's this little guy here who sneaked into our house it's a little spider you are so cute stay with us little one sammy wake up we've got a new pet i'll be right there too what's up look sammy we have a new friend wow susie is it a spider it looks scary sam you can't judge someone by their looks first you have to find out what kind of personality you're dealing with before you can draw any conclusions you're right susan i guess but where is he gonna live right we need to buy a terrarium for him but for now we should arrange something here to make sure our little spider doesn't get lost where was it where oh right here's what we need also i thought i had some left in here yes right this will do we'll put this here our little spider will sit right here for a little bit hey little one now we aren't going in the tub that's where we should stay okay let's pour some soil into a container here we go careful little spider come over here come on over little one yeah good job good see this will be your shelter for the time being okay there's sammy our little spider will be staying here guys most importantly don't forget that you must have holes in your container so that the spider can breathe two i've only seen those in the encyclopedia before how did he get here i think he crawled in from outside it's weird that so many people are afraid of spiders i mean they're totally harmless guys give a thumbs up if you two aren't afraid of little spiders two but our little spider shouldn't live in such conditions right yeah sure sammy you stay with him and i'll go order a terrarium okay wow we'll sit here good little spider holy [Music] no sammy it's just that our spider is shedding that's all i've never seen this process before like that i mean live it's so cool why is he doing it he doesn't like his old skin sammy our little spider grows this way it's not even a skin it's something like a skeleton our spiders growing and changing such a wonderful creature be sure not to get in his way now let him get used to his new body and peace he doesn't really need anything special right now to help him with it and when he does get used to it his new home will be here already [Music] our terrarium has arrived it's time to put it together our little spider is feeling very good and he's all ready for the big move guys suggest a name for our little spider come on comment away this kind of spider is called a bird eating spider these spiders can be kept at home so we kept it you can't let the spider walk around the apartment because you might hurt him also he should have his safe zone for having food and water that's why we'll need a terrarium [Music] okay guys let's get to business let's see what's inside i've never assembled terrariums for spiders before i wonder if it's like an ant farm in any way these are two totally different things you think so okay we'll see wow it's so stylish and so reliable look sill i think it's spoiled there are holes in it no sammy these holes are made on purpose to let air through oh right why do i keep forgetting that too no problem sammy the experts took care of it [Music] also there are special securing fixtures here let's secure the first two walls together like this [Music] what do you think will the spider have enough space in there to weave his web i read somewhere that a spider can leave a web as long as the earth's equator well he won't need that much web in our terrarium we just have to make sure it has enough space look i'm securing the walls now there's more than enough space in here to weave a web okay then i don't have to worry but a spider must need something other than space right sure sammy let's add all kinds of things in here as with any other terrarium spiders should have a soft flooring in there so that he doesn't hurt himself if he falls coconut substrate is a perfect kind of flooring for a terrarium now see what's going to happen just watch it soak up all the water it's like magic let's add some more it's bulging see now i need to knead it like dough isn't it fun and ready we're putting it on the bottom of our spider home hey guys i'd like to remind you that we asked you to help us come up with a name for our spider comment under this video tell us what name you think suits him best here we go susie we need to make a place for him to sleep on yes sammy look i bought a special snag for this why buy it we could have gotten one from the street too no come on what are you saying it's better not to get anything from our streets for our exotic pets because they can get sick it's better to use special things that are only intended for that this looks more like a home now we only need to arrange a kitchen not a place for him to play well the kitchen we need a container for water and food we'll put it across from the bedroom like this and now a place to play sorry sammy i forgot to warn you that our guest likes exotic toys yeah you can't be more exotic than that where did you get this mini pirate the same place i got the we have all the special things for our spider it's some sort of a vip guest we have in here right sammy soon we'll show this home to its owner to be [Music] our little spider needs water and food great all set now well hello there ready come over here you little buddy there you go take your time soft isn't it off you go take a look around look he's going for the shelter right away i think he likes the snag make yourself comfortable spider that's it little friend you have a new home now you forgot something here sue spiders love to be warm we have to make sure the temperature is comfortable for him wow right sam where did you get this we'll put it here well you're not the only thrifty person [Music] no we are definitely done [Music] well little spider how are you liking it i hope he'll like it and won't escape from his home or else we can step on him and bite his leg sammy spiders have no bones no bones but his legs look so firm well spiders have a firm shell actually it's still possible to hurt his legs like if you step on him accidentally we won't step on his legs and hurt him ever that's why we made the terrarium right yes sammy among other things it looks like he's happy i think so too i can't wait for our subscribers to come up with a name for our spider guys i hoped you liked this video give a thumbs up if you want a spider too or some other unusual pet let's get a snake oh no this guy is clearly too much into exotics and i'm gonna go now bye
