I may go bioactive at some point. That’ll probably be when she’s a little older. But I will probably keep the bare floor for a while.

A photo wouldn’t show the bioactive substrate as the bin is blue and you can’t see through the sides. But yes, it’s got just a layer of the clay balls, and then some reptisoil or organic black soil mixed with a little sand and mulch. The thing with crickets is that you need to keep it very...

Not going to lie your bioactive set up looks really good!

...Thank you for the tips. I plan on following that cleaning protocol and taping some background to the sides for humidity. :D As for the bioactive part, I want to strive for a bioactive enclosure. That being said I do want to be cognisant of any concerns this brings up. In terms of parasites...

I personally like it how @CryptKeeper did it, https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/progress-of-my-bioactive-build.193509/ This gives you maximum space left inside the enclosure

...doing their patrols. They do not stay in one spot though. Is it possible that he saw an insect and was hunting it? All of my enclosures are bioactive and I am always finding one of my chameleons hanging upside down, hunting the isopods. While not as common, they will also briefly go down to...

...he has taken on the appearance shown in the photo, brownish mottled skin including shutting eyes in the day, and not eating. He is in a bioactive vivarium basking temp is 29c heat on two times a day for 1,5 hours each time, misting twice a day morning and night for 1.5 min each time RO...

Looks great and always love it when the bioactive part is build separately from the enclosure. Otherwise you would steal precious space with soil. Rex will definitely loves his new jungle 👌

...box/holder, you’ll need to install a way to siphon excess water out from the drainage layer. This is what I used as a guide in setting up bioactive. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/ My first set ups I followed as close to possible. Now, I just toss stuff in...

...build's for my chams are here. It's always good to give them as much food options as possible. I'm really limited in my location, but try to give them a different bug with each feeding. I'm not totally sure about the substrate. But @MissSkittles is the queen of bioactive in screen cages.

I don't know about other places right now but Chewy currently has the xl Reptibreeze on sale .... https://www.chewy.com/zoo-med-reptibreeze-reptile-cage/dp/344873

...to sell you stuff to make extra money. They unfortunately sold you something that's extremely harmful to your chameleon. Without being bioactive, it's just going to fester with bacteria and, as has already happened, the Cham will unintentionally eat it. If they get a large enough chunk that...

...garage where it gets hot enough for them. They breed best when kept at around 90F. I’ve also found that they breed best when I keep them bioactively with an inch or two of organic soil mix with springtails, isopods and leaf litter. I also make them little hides from cork bark as they are shy...

...of it and exploring the bottom. Are these regular symptoms for a receptive or "gravid" Parsons? @Action Jackson @Motherlode Chameleon @kinyonga She's absolutely unstoppable and I don't want her to get egg bound. All my enclosures are bioactive and my veiled lays her eggs in the bioactive soil.

...I live in Alaska, and it's pretty dry here year round but I can still manage the humidity with these two things in mind. Are you running a bioactive set up? If not, substrate is generally not recommended as it does allow bacteria to breed like crazy. One thing you might consider is a couple...

Can you just add some cleaners in there or do you have to go totally bioactive? I am in a similar boat where my colony is growing and needs cleaning more often. It is a pain and involves moving them over to a clean bin each time. I’d like a more self sufficient way, but not sure if I want to go...

...like, they can be very restless and all over the place. My girl Stella showed me just how particular they can be. When I switched her to bioactive, I assumed that she would see the entire substrate ‘ground’ as suitable for laying her eggs. She did not though. She spent a week digging in her...

...it the same as Doc I kept chameleons for years pre fog days, and misted a lot during the day. It is much harder to keep a chameleon in a bioactive setup that way. You’re going to have a lot more water to drain from misting, than you will from fogging. I think fogging is a great additive when...

I am thinking about making my female enclosre bioactive. I want to get rid off the build up or it gets in the bottom after a while a decrease risk of infection by water gatherings when it doesnt dry during the day. I have not had bioacrtive before if not counting the brevicaudatus enclousure...

I have removed all of the soil and mulch from the cage completely. I am so distraught to find out the harm he could be in because of it.
