...simple, so I didn’t have to move many plants around. There have been times when I’ve needed to do a bigger thing and I grab a small flashlight and go in at night in the dark when my chameleon is asleep. Even though I switched to bioactive a while ago, I still do big changes at night in the...

Debating on switching over to bioactive after an infestation of fungus gnats. What are the most important reasons for switching other than cleaning? Is bioactive possible and easily done in a screen enclosure? I feel like I've seen mostly glass for bioactive. Does the CUC ever get out? How long...

...strand on many things. He may even be on the forum here but I don’t know his name on it. He is very intelligent and extremely knowledgeable on chams. I’m sure he has articles out there somewhere. 😊 Found something...

What I use for fertilizer is the frass from my insects…silkworms mainly, although I have also used frass from superworms. I have a hibiscus in one of my enclosures and up until she’s gotten old, the biggest threat to its health was being eaten to the nub by my veiled girl. Also, I accidentally...

...had 8 chams of 4 species in high elevation CO. Ultrasonic foggers, misting systems, hand spraying, drippers, adjustable plastic sheeting on screen cages, dense foliage & cage substrates, all played their parts. Sometimes all at the same time. The only thing I haven't used was a bioactive...

Any loose bugs in the cage? My clean up crews(isopods/millipedes/springtails) would delete poop within hours, but you don’t have bioactives…. Roaches/crickets/etc will happily eat chameleon poop too

Oh no quite the opposite! The enclosure is amazing, but I’m considering going down to 18x36 enclosures for the adults, and bioactive. I have limited space, so this would allow me to fit a trio and 10 baby cages all in the same footprint that this cage takes. It’s going well, I’ll go do an...

Yes! You can make it bioactive, they make trays to hold drainage layer. The enclosure you looked at could also work if the top is screened. It doesn’t look it but it may be me assuming because the lights are affixed inside the enclosure. But size wise it could work with proper airflow and...

...just look around the forum, ask whatever questions you may have and check out some of the many enclosure threads. This is a great guide for bioactive. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/ I would advise against getting a chameleon from an expo, unless they are...

...looking at a hybrid set up so not entirely mesh but mostly as I’d like to do a diy background like I have for my gecko. I also want to do bioactive. My problem is, there’s so much conflicting information online about everything. I’ve had a look through chameleon academy online also and...

I’ve had great success with dairy cow and dwarf white isopods for my bioactive setups.

Bioactive enclosures can be a great choice for chameleons if set up correctly! Learn what substrate to use, how to add in plants and branches, what isopods and clean up crew are recommended! Bioactive supplies and info: https://www.neptunethechameleon.com/bioactive

Looks great! More branches and plants definitely…make a nice little forest or jungle. Just have to put it out there - have you thought about setting it up bioactively? It would be a bit more work and fussing over, but it’s easier to do than it seems. Btw, I love the artwork on the side. 💗

...of these options are easiest to install before assembling the enclosure. *if using trellis, make sure to account for the pieces butting up against each other in the corners with your measurements. Here’s one set up with ledges. Trellis details Trellis set up (double wide bioactive enclosure)

...We live in northwest Montana where it gets cold in winter and the indoor humidity is usually about 30%. We are building a planted bioactive vivarium. The chameleon academy resources are guiding our build decisions. I hope this helps some people that live in a similar northern climate...

Thanks! Trioceros deremensis are great. Sorry to disappoint "Charles" is one of my past Trioceros deremensis. I am still working out bacteria issues in my bioactive greenhouse. Best Regards Jeremy A. Rich

Of course I once again forget to post a link. :rolleyes: Here is the bioactive guide I learned from and follow. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/

Cute comments the chameleons are making! Nice setup too.

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...

...mix of how much you need. By mixing your own you will probably need to purchase more than you actually need. If you want to go with a bioactive planted Viv you want to create a substrate that drains well and does not hang on to moisture. Your plants roots will rot with potting soils. In the...
