Can they be grown in a terrarium?

Well, i do have a windowsill to grow on, though not very large. Also, im a bit apprehensive as to growing outside due to all the squirrels and birds and such. I cant hang any plants up due to the space so i guess im aiming more towards terrarium plants.

OK, so now that i have kept my first vft alive more a couple of months now, im thinking its time to add new specimens to the collection. Now i'm wondering which species should i get next. I'm still a beginner i guess, so something i need something that's pretty hardy. Preferably...

Jeez, glad you're ok. You're lucky you had your seatbelt on. Just imagine if you didn't!

Have you ever built one that needed any medium? I really wanted to fill the terrarium up with something as opposed to having it premade as in the plaster setup. Idk, I always thought one of the best parts of having an ant farm was seeing them dig and make and expand their chambers and such, but...

Ok, so after contemplating for a couple of days on wether i should start an ant colony or get a mantid, i've decided to go for the ants. Now i just have to figure out where i can get a proper enviornment for them. I've done a bit of googlin, but it mostly shows the "kiddy farms". Most likely i'm...

Found it. Thank alot jeztor!

Anybody know where i can download that song from the first vid?

Jeez... "During mating the smaller male often jumps on the back of the larger female. Miscalculating the jump may mean the male becomes a meal. If the jump was successful, the pair mate and during copulation the female may turn and devour the male's head. The body of the male is capable of...

Wow. Those bugs are really cool lookin. I was thinking of starting an antfarm but after seeing those pictures.... idk. But then again having a whole colony of ants attacking its prey... desicions, desicions ???
