Cody’s Carboniferous Terarium
I build a terrarium with conditions present on earth over 300 million years ago.

it should be noted that you reproduced late Carboniferous period.
@Dorian Terrell Trying it out now. Looks promising :)

@Cody'sLab Can we have an update? Would you do this in a bigger environment if you found a bigger jar? I'm keen to seen what a few generations of insects would look like been born and raised in this environment.
Can you show us the results after 1 year?? Thank you
@Cody'sLab is this still going and alive!?
I've learned so much from these videos over the years. Cody is one of the very best youtubers imo. Would make an excellent earth sciences teacher
I wish I could be in discord with you so I could discuss my outrageous idea with you that pertain to some of your experiments
wears gloves. pressurizes with breath
Makes you think what if we are just in a terrarium of a very big hobbyist (literaly)

how do you test for oxygen level? Or CO2 level? A couple of times I have made enclosed ecosystems. Once I use river algae and beta, which also had many copepods. Another time I try to simulate both aerobic and anaerobic ecosystems to create a stable enclosed environment. I think the best method would be a slow drip down through many feet of soil, and then just return the water to the upper tank or lake area. It seems a large amount of anaerobic is required to support an aerobic ecosystem. without the constant anaerobic flow, even one fish will fill the tank with Poo. so it's important to have enough area for the bacteria to consume the air breathing waste. I wonder how that works in the carboniferus.
Wait! So coal, oil, and other fossil fuels are renewable? Holy cow it almost seems like the power source for the future. It also lowers carbon dioxide and increases oxygen totally debunking the climate change hoax being pushed as of present?
any update on this ? :)
Yes he's made one!
What made the carboniferious work was the high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The end of that epoch sees the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse when the CO2 levels dropped because the carcon was tied up in being turned into coal.
i think you should put some spiders in there
this is sooooooooooooo good!
What would happen if the oxygen levels were less than atmosphere? Would the plants die off due to lack of oxygen or simply grow smaller in order to adapt to a more sustainable size?
Cody, I only discovered you about 2 days ago and I've been on a bender watching your completely bonkers yet wonderful videos. You're such a delight to watch and I love your content, please keep making more weird and awesome things happen, as cool as your experiments are I think I actually watch it for you! Anyway would love an update on this terrarium too. Many thanks and best wishes from New Zealand :)
you should do another time period bottle, that would be so cool
The fault in the plants died and stacked up to make coal is the idea that they could actually stack up in a bed thick enough to be compressed and turned into coal. Take a look around the world at the thickest jungle and tell me or show me any spot that could turn into coal. You just don't find it.
Springtails aren't as cute when you find them in the wall behind your shower :p
Others: let's make a terarium. Cody: let's make a carbonated terarium
Welcome to Carboniferous Park!
It's almost time for that 2 year update!
3:40 very interesting point!! we actually do have fungi which can digest plastics though.
What would you call your grabber tool?
Your Jurassic park has chickens but im australian, emus and causeries are terrifying. Im just glad they arnt raptors. They dont wanna kill us but they will if they have too.
I think you really need a volcano in it to make it right.
Could do the same with Helium?
60% of the coal I pick up around my neighborhood in Turtle Creek Pennsylvania is around 305 to 300 million years old and had fossils of planets and the other 40% of it is fossilized ash from forest fires that burned the swamps. Now the shale rock all has fossils of plants all around this area. I called the museum and they said from 320 to 295 million years ago this was a swamp. Now coal formed between 318 to 298 in the period called the Pennsylvanian from 328 to 298 million years ago. I love history
I hope cody purged his torch handle before putting the o2 in.
This is no different than the world we live in. We live under a solid dome firmament. We live in an enclosed system. Space is fake. Earth is flat.
I wonder how it's doing.
How did your terrarium experiment turn out? Update please :)
only things you're missing are isoetales trees and more lycopodium and tree ferns
Update
@UCu6mSoMNzHQiBIOCkHUa2Aw any updates on terrarium? Did it survive?
You're awesome Cody! Love your videos. I started following you when you signed up for the Mars project. I showed your audition video to my 8th grade Science students.
any follow up on this?
welcome to 2020, when shall there be an update?
"Keeping the PH more towards the neutral end" The PH-scale has (as you certainly know) a base and an acidic end, the neutral is the middle part, not the end. Just thought it was funny... :D Cool project, plz do not put in the snails. :)
is there an update?
You should do an update video on this one
Google's creepiness strikes again. I spend a while today searching info on closed terrariums on another browser but same google user logged in, so of course I get this in youtube recommendations.
you should do an update on if the bugs grew bigger
Very nice video 👌😊.
'a' is pronounced as in Ago Anew Again Learn and repeat 1000x. Wot's with this ay ay bollux?
Update please!
No part 2 = everything died?
And here I am getting pissed off when dirt and bugs and plants get in my old bottles I store outside,... *: )*
I just subbed up to your channel. Check out my boys SEcrone videos electric unicycles sliders gliders ✌️
Its been almost two years since the day of creation Hope is lost If the terrarium is dead or not going to have an update is fine, but we need answers
You should breed Giant Pill bugs
*cue chicken footage* "They do move in herds..."
Update?
Whatever happened to this, was there ever an update (as stated @ 18:10) on the findings? is it still functional?
How dose it look now?
Ideonella sakaiensis we now have a bacteria that digests plastic just as they had bacteria that digested lignin
Update please :)
I love you videos Cody
Becoming a god
This is great is there an update?
Haha don't have a good time
Cody, if you still have this terrarium, I would love to see an update video. It has been almost 2 years and I would like to know if the spring tales have gotten larger.
someone needs to try and make an entire room that replicates this environment
Basic B’s be like “uhhhh that’s a turkey?”
I remember the day this came out. I have been checking periodically ever since to see if he will ever update us.
Can you create a pressurized terrarium to see the effects? Like 4 atmospheres.
hi, you can do a follow up video?
Cody is a god, creator of worlds 🤯
If i keep this for long time, will there be little human at some point??
In a few billion years
Any update on this Cody?
How about soil companion fungi?
Updates?
Cody it’s been a year! Video?
Where is the update.
4:30 😂😂😂👀
Any chances of an update Cody?
They DO travel in herds...
i want an update
Can we get an update on this project
Cody, what's with carboniferous garden? this was so cute an idea!
can we get an update to this....like ever?
I always liked your creative ways of spelling out your name
Update on this brother?
So when are you going to do an update on this bottle and see if it held in there and is still growing?
So, how's the terrarium going?
Mantap
Hope that update comes soon
I can’t wait to see a continuation of this
I can’t believe people actually believe in this evolution crap. Yes natural selection happens, but it selects from what is already present in the genome. Either strengthening expression of already existing genes or deregulating them. Mutations leading to brand new functions have not been Documented or witnessed by any branch of science. Fossilization is almost non-existent nowadays because of the environmental requirements, but in the past organisms were sorted based on density, mobility and intelligence. We find clams at the bottom because they hardly move and we find birds at the top because they obviously fly and their bones are hollow. I would offer a counter explanation, but it’s equally as religious as believing that nothing (literary) exploded and created everything that evolved into what we see today.
Carboniferous in a bottle you gotta ru... nvm
this is how someone made our universe
Any updates Cody?
When will we get a followup on the Carboniferous In a Bottle?
Is there a followup video?
bruh it be cody slab
May 2020 what about an update? Any anaconda sized millipedes, yet?
Any updates on this?
Awesome!
I remember a Creationist who was collecting money to build the world's biggest hyperbaric chamber in which he was going to raise lizards, and when they grew up to be dinosaurs, that would prove Darwin was wrong because reasons. I did wonder why he didn't start small with just a commercial rescue chamber for divers. It would be plenty big enough for a couple of skink eggs to hatch and grow three feet long, and then they could be humanely killed by CO2 and dissected. Positive results would have been enough to get funding for a larger chamber.
PLEASE UPDATE
How does the charcoal effect the pH? All the sources I found online say used charcoal (burnt charcoal) raises the pH. But what about un-burnt ch charcoal?
Cody s lab my favourite channel
Update ?
