I thought it would be a lot of fun to take the concept/essence of a desert oasis and shrink it down into a mini setup. I had a lot more fun with this project than I expected, and I love the result. What do you think, though? Let me know, and have a great Sunday SerpaSquad!

Oasis are one of some the coolest things in nature

I'm an absolute desert rat, and not enough people appreciate how incredible and full of life the desert is. What I'm saying is that I am obsessed with this build 😍

Wow, this is really amazing. This is near the top of the list of favorite builds that you've done. Let's be real, they're all my favorites but this one just speaks to me a little more.

Bro making a project like this every week is insane, mad respect for your dedication🔥

This is just so sick man, I’m a young carpenter from QLD Australia and I dream of building environments like this one day for my reptiles on a much larger scale. Although my work is much rougher than yours, I think it’ll take a while to achieve your patience level! I just love to watch these videos

The only thing I think that could have exemplified desert "more" is possibly a seasonal setup with triops and fairy shrimp, because this is AMAZING

I'd be interested to see a desert tank that simulates the Australian outback, where conditions are dry and almost lifeless for most of the year. However, during the wet summer, receive copious amounts of rain that could spring the rank to life for a short period each year.

YESS SHRIMPPPP I don’t know why but I’m such a SIMP for SHRIMP heheheh so thank you for this awesome as always work!!

Wow! The bright red colors of the shrimp really brought it all together, I can't wait to see it when there are more shrimps.

I wasn't sure at first at the tall versus wide choice of tanks for this, but your Mini Desert Oasis build worked out wonderfully, nicely balanced and geometrically striking. The layout of the choya wood and pagoda stones just perfect, and red shrimp shows a nice contrast.

I really liked this build! I'm personally glad you didn't put fish in the tank. I think the minimal movement and the "smallness" of the design really work well together. Very beautiful!

My day is better now that there has been a serpa design post! Thank you Tanner!!!! I built my first tank for my new leopard gecko and really happy with how it turned out. Thank you for your educational and entertaining videos!

Keep up the good work your inspiring me to follow what you do

This is one of the more simple builds compared to some of the stuff you’ve done before, yet this may be my favorite one yet. The hard scape looks incredible and those cacti/succulents in the back make it a perfect match

Serpa sundays are the best 🙌🏽 thank you for taking such good care of the animals. It makes me feel so good that they are loved and thriving

I would love to see you do as many biomes as possible! This is a great start to a desert biome tank! You already have the jungle biomes down. Love it so much though! Just needs triops!

Wow, This video showed lots of things about the oasis. from this video, I have learned that an oasis is an area made fertile by a source of fresh water in an otherwise dry and arid region. Oases (more than one oasis) are irrigated by natural springs or other underground water sources. They vary in size from a cluster of date palms around a well or a spring to a city and its irrigated cropland. Dates, cotton, olives, figs, citrus fruits, wheat, and corn (maize) are common oasis crops.Underground water sources called aquifers supply most oases. In some cases, a natural spring brings the underground water to the surface. At other oases, manmade wells tap the aquifer. In some oasis settlements, these wells might be centuries old and might have been diligently maintained for generations to preserve access to their life-giving water.Sands blown by desert winds threaten wells as well as agricultural areas in oases. Sand can destroy crops and pollute water. Communities have traditionally planted strong trees, such as palms, around the perimeter of oases to keep the desert sands from their delicate crops and water.Some of the world's largest supplies of underground water exist beneath the Sahara Desert, supporting about 90 major oases there. The Sahara is the largest desert on Earth-about the size of the continental United States. Though there are many oases there, traveling between them can take days because the desert is so vast.For this reason, oases in the Sahara and throughout the world have become important stops along trade routes. Merchants and traders who travel along these routes must stop at oases to replenish food and water supplies. This means that whoever controls an oasis also controls the trade along the route-making oases desirable to political, economic, and military leaders.Al-Hasa, Saudi Arabia, has been an important farming area for the Arabian Peninsula for thousands of years. Today, it continues to be a leading agricultural region, producing dates, rice, corn, sheep, cattle, and eggs. The al-Hasa region also lies above one of the richest oil fields in the world, making the oasis an important center of international trade.Rivers that flow through some deserts provide permanent sources of water for large, elongated oases. The fertile Nile River valley and delta in Egypt, supplied with water from the Nile River, is an example of this type of large oasis. At 22,000 square kilometers, it might be the largest oasis in the world.

I love the gravel transition between tank and base. Very sleek!

You’re the reason I started making terrariums about a year ago. I discovered you about a year and a half ago, binged all of your video’s & now I catch myself buying different glass containers at thrift shops, anything uniquely shaped, picking up random sticks/ rocks and always scoping for places with a bunch of moss. I have so many random things with a different idea attached to them in my craft room. I have a tall fish tank I plan on going full serpa on one day when I feel like I’ve gained more skills and knowledge but for now my little glass jars & containers will do. Thank you for giving me a new hobby / art to explore 🩵

I love seeing how all the techniques you’ve perfected over the years come together into one piece. Skill really is just trial and error, and practice. We can all become good at the things we want to do if we put in the time and energy.

love the vids, keep of the great work!

I think this is one of my favorite aquarium/terrarium designs of all time! I love the contrast of dessert and water and it looks so cohesive and cool with the red sand. An absolute homerun of a build 🤩👍

Your creativity is limitless, I would have run out of ideas but you just continue to do more and more amazing work.

What a fun design! I live in Southern Arizona, and it feels like you captured monsoon season and the dry summer season simultaneously!

Keep up the good work mate!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful oasis!! I really love how active this waterfall is!

So beautiful, looks fantastic!

That was magical! They all look so seamless despite being divided to ensure all the different plants's health! Amazing!

This is really cool. I wonder if you would one day do Paladariums with multiple creatures, such as water based and land/tree based. :)

Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful as always!

Frickin. Gorgeous. Love it.
