    Self-cleaning Dubia/Discoid Bin

    Yeah it’s as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Don’t get scared by the word bioactive and how complicated people make it, it works all the same. Most of what people add is regarding plants/drainage which isn’t a concern when dealing with roach bins.

    Husbandry review

    ...side eye only a woman can give😭 Cage Info: Cage Type - Cage is currently too small and I hate it… imma upgrade her to a 2x2x4 hybrid bioactive setup. Got her when I just started getting my life back together and wasn’t as researched, so I bought what I could. It’s the reptibreeze...

    Isopods as staples?

    I haven't heard of isopods as a staple before, but It's worth a shot!! I've only used isopods in my bioactive frog enclosure, so it will be interesting to see if your chameleon likes them!!

    Husbandry Check?

    ...anxious about it getting too hot or him getting burned so I will move it back down a touch to get it warmer. That is very helpful and I will look into the govee. How hard is it to switch to bioactive in an enclosure that already has a lil guy in it? I would imagine it's easier with a new...

    A little thread of love for a fellow reptile

    ...a long time and it’s a commitment! (Says the granny who recently got a parsons chameleon) I was looking for a shorter lifespan creature to fill my first bioactive enclosure build so the carpet cham won over the crestie. Pizza crust is super cool and I hear they have quite a personality, sort...

    Chameleon not moving

    ...it from sliding down. I did have to add a few extra small screws for this, but not a big deal. It looks much nicer than I thought it would and is sturdy enough to hold not just a lot of various size branches, but some plants as well. *just fyi - my enclosures are all double sized and bioactive.

    Temperature/Humidity

    Op had private messaged me and we did talk a bit about temps, humidity and the substrate/going true bioactive. I didn’t know the enclosure was in front of a window though. @ryandrumm2020 you definitely need to either move the enclosure away from the window (best option) or take measures so the...

    Chameleon not eating a lot and not shedding

    ...don’t see the bottom vents, but as long as they are there and unobstructed, it should be okay. Do keep a close eye on humidity, which should kind of give a gauge of ventilation. I didn’t ask about the substrate. Is it fully bioactive? Is there a drainage layer, clean up crew and all that...

    trying to find a 4x2x4 screen enclosure

    thanks for the advice! How much did you get the cages for on sale? the one I found was around 150$? also when I do make the double wide should i have multiple basking spots, or just one? oh and do you have any advice for a way i can have the misting line tube thingy outside the cage but still...

    Maybe sick or I’m exaggerating?

    ...screen enclosures together with wire, but this is a nicer way. https://chameleonacademy.com/double-wide-chameleon-cage-project/ For my bioactive, I place some heavy duty plastic beneath the whole enclosure (they sit on wooden shelves), place enclosures on top and then use the ReptiBreeze...

    Fogging

    Thank you!! It is bioactive. The fan at the bottom is blowing in and I have a fan on the top screen sucking out. I turn them on in the morning to dry things out then turn them off at night. Do you think that is OK? I worry there is too much air moving through, but i do keep them on the...

    Possibly burn mark?

    ...when I came home her butt was directly under heat lamp, since it’s happened I added much more branches and I had also switch her cage to bioactive and I haven’t seen her screen walking on the top screen at all and much more active cruising throughout her cage, her branch is about 8 inches or...

    You would have to have a bioactive enclosure to do that

    Pros and Cons of going Bioactive?

    I'm not bioactive with my chams... yet. However I was just reading this blog post a few minutes ago which had a great list of lots of pros and cons. I've been slowly learning more and more about bioactive enclosures but haven't made the leap yet...

    Pooping eggs

    So it’s not normal for them too pass underdeveloped eggs and then go on and lay a clutch after?

    Hydration question

    Its a hybrid one. I make my own dripper from a plastic cup that i poke a hole in it, but he seems to ignore it. I place it on top of the screen to drip onto the leaves.

    Mold in the Soil?

    The advantage of planting pothos at the bottom

    Thanks! I'm actually using the standard bioactive setup, and planted the pothos in that soil. Always leave the trim waste on the soil and sometimes refresh it with leaf litter. I think the cleanup crew (which is a huge colony and divers) has big part in it as well. For lighting I use the...

    Custom Chameleon Cage for my Jackson’s Chameleon

    ...space to work with. I have seen a lot of custom builds here that might serve to inspire. This is one of @MissSkittles builds, and it's bioactive to boot. She combined two of the XL reptibreeze enclosures and goes over how she made the substrate tray work in this comment. As you can see, once...
