I Built a Tiny Ecosystem

We’re going to need frequent updates on this eco system 😂🔥

It's crazy how Ryan can have this super awkward shot but then 5 seconds later he makes the most cinematic shot you’ve seen in years

Im so happy to see someone who also knows how to take care and make a PROPER ecosystem. This video was extremely funny and entertaining!

We absolutely need an update on this glass-encased ecosystem.

gah dang that storytelling was amazing.. loved this!

You should make an underwater ecosystem

That looks so cool! How much did it cost to build up? Is it still alive? :) We need an update for this ecosystem!

The simplicity of this video is so inspiring!

Ryan is such a chad he went from surviving on $0.01 for 30 days to building a tiny ecosystem.

Can you make this into a series, Love the ecosystem . gah dang that storytelling was amazing.. loved this!.

Amazing setup! Would be great for mouring geckos and any gecko in general. But NNNOT for frogs or toads, they need some source of water. Weather it’s from a plant similar to the bromilliad or a pond.

Bobby’s great. He’s kind, he’s caring, he’s gentle, and most importantly, he’s shaped like a friend

As a reptile keeper I was worried when I saw the thumb nail but I must say I was impressed, you have taken care of them so well they are very lukey animals keep up the good work 😊👍

WE NEED A SERIES

Can we all just appreciate Sean for a moment

As a reptile enthusiasts with lots of terrariums I absolutely love this! So nice to see people outside of the hobby making videos about terrariums and geckos. I recommend some leaf litter to make the vivarium look more natural and give the frogs more spots to hide. Thank you for showing off your awesome creation!

This is actually a really good build

This is such a good video. Ryan if you're reading this you are such a nice, kind, fun, awesome person. I love seeing nature!

as a reptile owner, i love seeing other people build homes for and interact with these wonderful creatures. this video was so pleasant and shined a light on the beauty of nature :)

The ending to this video is actually so good. Talking about how Bobby is living in a super tiny environment on a ginormous planet; no matter the case he's still important. And then it pans to the observable universe, and it hits that he was talking about you the entire time. You guys are important even if we live on a speck of dust. We have a purpose, you just have to create it yourself. Love you Ryan.

Everyone spam make a ecosystem update

Ryan’s nature vids are really good I would like to see more

Kevin, Joe, Nick, Bobby and Rae have my WHOLE heart! (we need regular updates on this incredible creation! ❤)

we want this to be a series, also we want to see THE ECOSYSTEM expand

I’ve done something like this with a small jar , I haven’t opened the lid (airtight) or done anything with it apart from give it light for 6 months , it’s thriving

I just love how environments work, and how, say, ants find homes and how they work. It’s just so fascinating. I can’t believe I waited this long to watch this

As a reptile hobbyist this video means a lot to me. Seeing Ryan go into the world of terrariums and bioactive enclosures just warms my heart. Hopefully this video will inspire more people to enjoy the lives of different animals and maybe even get some themselves.

Ryan is the one of the only people in the whole community that can make an 11-minute video on an in-home ecosystem that still hooks me so much to the video. When Ryan said that Bobby doesn’t realize how big the word is, I couldn’t stop thinking about how this video is a metaphor for how we don’t realize how big the universe is. Ecosystems are fascinating! I’m so glad you took the time to make one. It was adorable, inspirational, and the filming was cinematic and so engaging! Also, believe it or not, isopods aren't actually insects! They're CRUSTACEANS! Yup, these guys breathe with their gills, which is why they require high moisture! I've kept my own colony of them in the past and they preferred to be hidden so it was always wonderful to see them pop their little heads.

They missed the opportunity to call the flightless flies walks

I LOVE IT. Ryan videos frogs jumping and climbing rocks but instead says "sky diving" and "rock climbing". Its amazing Your the best Ryan

I like how he said he wishes Bobby knew how important he was to the ecosystem even though the world is much bigger and that it transitioned to picture of the whole universe. Might be meaning that we are like Bobby so small yet so important to our own ecosystem. I love his sense for detail

This has slowly become my comfort video. Just watching Ryan conscientiously creating a terrarium is so cosy

I’ve been a long term fan of Ryan I was here since he was doing his first penny series and I’d say this even now is one of the best videos Ryan has made it made me feel safe and comfortable and it’s a perfect video when your stressed or worried. Thanks Ryan for this I appreciate

You should make an update video as well as links to where you can buy everything if there isn’t a gecko world near you

He never disappoints with giving us interesting unique content. This man is batting 100 all the time

This was my favourite video tbh after watching alot of ryans videos i saw him travel across america and do so many cool things but this was beautiful hes created a life and an actual multi level home and habitat for these animals its really amazing to see

Ryan's Ecosystem

I love ryan connecting with nature

I can't state how happy I am he took perfect care of his animals, they had proper lighting live plants, and he successfully cohabitated two different species, something even experienced keepers can struggle to do. Thank you Ryan for showing how to properly take care of these wonderful animals

You did such a good job. Alot of research went into this and more importantly no miss information.

"I just wish he knew how important he is." Love the metaphorical life encouragement that Ryan incorporates into these videos.

that was a very calming video! It was very comforting to watch! Thank you for making this

Please make more of these vids they are FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

As an exotic ecosystem keeper (i can’t call myself a reptile keeper cuz i don’t have any reptiles atm) I really like the way you approached this! People generally don’t understand that you can’t get an ecosystem in a day, you did amazing!

that ending… “i just wish he knew how important he is” hits a lot deeper and goes a lot farther than just talking about that little ecosystem

That last line with the shot of the universe as we know it was deep. Thanks for the reminder that we are important too even if we dont realise it.

is it sill here

this is one of my favorite videos. between ryan’s conscious efforts to create the best habitat for several living things and the living things’ abilities to just coexist and be so complex and yet so small, this is an amazing demonstration of life to me. i love everything you do and stand for ryan, keep it up🤍🤍

The layers to this ecosystem is so cool! I love how Ryan was able to make this so engaging and fun to watch

This is actually so inspiring ❤️ I have a green anole but I feel like it does not have enough space in his tiny enclosure. I want to go give him some more plants and size up his enclosure now. ❤️❤️❤️

would love to see 100 days of this! 🔥🔥

We want a Part 2. Hoping this series continues ❣️❣️❣️🥺

I love Ryan’s interpretation of everything that’s happening; “looks like he enjoys gymnastics and did some rock climbing” I was cracking up

we NEED more ryan ecosystem updates

DO A PART TWO PLEASE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG

as a teenager i never thought i would be interested in this type of stuff, the way it comes to life each day is so satisfying, like look at bobby drinking that water. I know i probably would never be able to take care of one of these thats why its so cool to watch other people do it, please keep this updated as i would love to see it grow more often

As a reptile owner and a terrarium builder, this is actually a really good build

You should do a part 2 that would be fun to watch

I can’t lie. Even with the mist the tank looked dry. Good job tho👍

I never would have thought that seeing a ecosystem evolving is so fun to watch, We love you Bobby!!!

I love ecosystems! Ryan is really just making something for everybody

Ryan should know that a flightless fly is a walk...

I really loved how it turned out

Holy shit I know that store, Shaun is great. I bought my second lizard from him, a Frilled lizard. Raising those two help solidify what I wanted to do with my life. I moved away recently to Virginia to get a degree in wildlife biology. Shaun is a great guy and they deserve all the business they get!

Dart frogs really are incredible creatures. They may be quite small, but they have big hearts and ambition! I love seeing people exploring different things, great job you definitely know what you doing. Also just be careful, frogs (or amphibians) absorb anything through their skin. Meaning if the water is not dechlorinated and they absorb those toxic chemicals, they could get really sick. They can also get really sick if the enclosure is not clean (the isopods will help with that). You seem like you know what you doing though, but just remember if the frogs dry out, they die. On the other hand, lizards are pretty hardy. Good job comrade, and keep fulfilling your dreams❤. Also, the isopods didn't eat the carrot...the reason it smelled like death is because the carrot you tried to feed to them DECOMPOSED rather than be eaten.

Nice ecosystem

gah dang that storytelling was amazing.. loved this!. The simplicity of this video is so inspiring!.

Ryan is the only person in the whole community of KZhead that can make an 11-minute video on an in-home ecosystem that still hooks me so much to the video.

We need a 1 hour loop for Bobby licking a papaya at 9:50. Bobby's so precious

Bro went in creative mode

If anyone sees this comment please try to bring it to Ryan. This was an amazing video please continue this series

I'll be honest, I didn't have a Sean when I started building my terrarium. So now I am three years in and I still don't have it setup

I always enjoy it when Ryan comes out with a video I had never expected him to make.

Something about this video is so calming

lets be honest we all want bobby

I love how ryan always puts the work into his content, makes it unique, and insanely fun to watch

Ryan Trahan has broke the code for audience retention. At this point he can literally do anything and still have people watch it

So crazy that man saw an axolotl from Minecraft. That's so cool!

Hey I know you probably won't see this but I love your vids and helped me out of a dark place keep up the good work ❤

This is wonderful as a first terrarium! I have some experience with these builds, as this is my hobby. I film invertebrates and other animals, as well as build terrariums. I love the fact that you love invertebrates and the flow of the video is so well done! Welcome to the hobby!

The outdo music brings so much nostalgia from the penny series. I remember staying at my grandparents’ house for the summer and watching an episode every morning right after breakfast. Your videos keep getting better, and you inspire me every time you upload. Keep up the amazing work!

Bruh this should be a Netflix series

I really enjoy your videos Ryan. You are such an inspiration to all and I can tell you are a genuinely good videographer :) Wish you all the best.

I love how Ryan actually cares about the care of these animals and if they can co exist with eachother i feel like most creators will do no research and just use animals for views, but he cares about the animals enough to not put the animals he may have wanted if they cant co exist with each other.

In high school, we made our own ecosystems in a bottle with plants and isopods and other little decomposer insects. I was the only one who successfully made a terrarium that succeeded and it’s been three years and it is still running. It supplied its own water, and oxygen with the plant, and all that. Honestly you should do that.

Really cool man! keep vids like this going

Wonderful animals that live in the tiny little system looks great but it's actually tiny But I still like itStill like it+Cool

Can you make this into a series, Love the ecosystem ❤💚

We definitely need a follow up on this ecosystem! I'm invested in Joe, Kevin, and Nick.

Kevin Nick and Joe Nick and Joe Nick and Charlie ( Joe Locke) HEARTSTOPPER REFFERANCE

5:20 “ oh yeah that smells like death.” Ryan Trahan quote of the year😂😂😂

I absolutely love how random this man’s videos are! It allows him to have content freedom and hopefully never gets bored of content creation. Dude makes every single moment funny for no reason, all while we learn together!

I want to see a series of this and see this ecosystem grow more and more 😊

I counted how many biotic things are in this video and in total there is 14 biotic things 1.Wood 2.Moss 3.isopods 4.carrot 5.algae 6.frogs 7.fliteless flys 8.tropical plants 9.geckos 10.vines 11.rayne 12.sean 13.trees when rayne toke a walk 14.plants on rayne shelf

Ah yes the flightless fly, also known as a walk

If anyone deserves this meteoric rise on KZhead it's Ryan Trahan. A genuinely wholesome dude, never change bro.

Taking it easy like this is just.. what I love. Barely you tubers do this, but if they do they’re incredibly under rated

It be cool if you added a miniature waterfall

You inspired me to make my own terrarium Ryan! I made a desert one and I don’t regret it! * except that one time the scorpion got out* THANK YOU!!!

Props to Ryan and his team who searched the entire footage to find the best shots 😂
