Ok so this is probably a stupid question, but what about the CO2 fire extinguishers? Just out of curiosity...
But I guess the fire extinguishers leave behind foam or some residue right?... Anyways just a thought!

CO2 fire extinguishers are normally pure CO2, so that would work - the only problem being the speed at which it comes out and the way it tends to be extremely cold too, neither of which will be good for a terrarium! If you fit a regulator to it (as some aquarium plant people do) you could fill the terrarium with CO2 quite easily.

I have just discovered that my two orchidariums are crawling with teeny tiny centipedes and was pleasantly surprised to find this sticky!! Where do I get dry ice from though??
