I have noticed the same with my brothers bioactive setup. I would suggest making the lower part less dense, so the droppings reach the bottom. Otherwise the cleanup crew won’t do their job. Or you need to cleanup droppings that don’t reach the bottom. By any chance having spagnum moss on the...

...stay in the higher areas of their enclosure. Males will make routine patrols sometimes and make brief treks down lower. My enclosures are bioactive and I’ll find my chams sometimes lower to hunt their isopods. The whole idea is to provide a gradient of temps so that the chameleon can move to...

...they still do questionably silly things... Perhaps a pothos from a hardware store (Home Depot/Lowe's) to add more natural vines for him to wonder in for your enclosure. It would do great in the ground of your bioactive cage, the leaves grow better when you get the Vine to grow upward too!

Hello, we have a 5 month old Panther Chameleon named Pablo. We have a bioactive enclosure with automatic timer lights and mister. We usually hand feed Pablo 15-20 crickets a day, one feeding in the morning and one feeding in the evening. The reason for my post is we are going on vacation this...

I bought a veiled chameleon from a pet shop a week ago. I set up a bioactive terrarium, and all the basking temperature, ambient temperature, and humidity levels are at good ranges. However, since the chameleon came home, its color has been very dark. When I bought it at the pet shop, it was...

What I don’t get is the changes they could make for their animals would be cheap and arguably less maintenance. Like they should just use bioactive substrate in all of their enclosures and get rid of the damn bark.

...my enclosures. Last year the gnats got crazy and I had to resort to using mosquito bits and that eliminated all of the gnats (and left my bioactive clean up crew alive) and hung yellow sticky traps around the house. Do keep in mind that I have 5 double sized bioactive enclosures, so when I...

Hi, thanks for your response! It hasn’t been easy at all, but I try to do my best for my new baby! Yes, at the bottom 8 have a drainage layer of leca or clay balls, about 2-3 inches of them then 2 layers of screen mesh to divide leca from soil. The photo do you mean the actual enclosure...

When my little one was climbing the top screen I saw her fall once. I put ferns on the bottom to cushion the fall, but I'm not sure how cleanly that would be in the long run. You might need a bioactive bottom to sustain it, or have a few to swap out once a week or so.

Thanks for the reply! Love the little hinge idea. Also now going have to take a deep dive into creating a bioactive bottom, how do you keep it from getting to soggy over time? Thanks again appreciate the info

Hi, first, I am sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask in, I am a newbie here. So I am going to add isopods and spring tails to my chameleon habitat but I have cocopeat so I asked an online shop and he said that cocopeat is low on nutrients for the insects, so he told me to add these: volcanic...

...the skill ceiling that is being able to best Spooble at his game of poop hide-and-go-seek. I'll look all around, following the urate trails, but then never find the rest. Well...Not for some days. So what is your trick? Assuming you're not doing bioactive with a clean up crew that handles the...

...for eons until we decided to bring them into our homes. I’ll never understand this. I was told I was killing my leopard geckos for keeping them bioactively instead of on paper towel or shelf liner and the person tried to convince their point by saying veterinarians backed this position...

I can vouch for the Arcadia luminize. I have the LED and the uvb lights connected together and on a timer thru the app. I love it

One idea is keeping one chameleon in a fully bioactive set up and the other not. But, what differences would one expect to see and how would anything even be measured? Chameleons aren’t very good test subjects. Providing enrichment for them is a slightly different matter. From what I’ve seen of...

I’m turning my xl reptibreeze into a bioactive enclosure. I don’t want my guy to lose any space so ima build a 24x24x12” “box” for it to sit on and remove the floor so I can fill the box with the substrate etc. My question is what can I use that will be good enough to not warp from the water...

As I'm seeing many posts lately about how to make your screen enclosure bioactive and more naturalistic, I want to highlight a blog about it which goes into details with a gear list. Maybe it could help someone, also included a fogging system modification. Have fun reading...

...the greenhouse. I have not got many ideas where the bacteria came from however I am progressing with hardier species. The greenhouse is bioactive however exposed to the outside elements somewhat. That meaning the bacteria could have come from multiple places/sources. Once I have had some...

Bare floor is best, unless you set up a true bioactive. Usually that is best left for after you get the hang of the basics, so bare floor for now.

...overly interested in the dubias, she has also been eating silkworms and she's had 2 wax worms (as a treat) in 2 weeks, she is in a fully bioactive enclosure and she has been eaten a couple of small tiny flies, I just wondered if someone could let me know if she looks ok, I think the poop...
