I’m looking to make my first bioactive enclosure and I need some guidance on it. I bought the ReptiBreeze full mesh 24x24x48 enclosure, I’m wondering what people with fully mesh enclosures use at the bottoms to hold the substrate in? I’ve only heard of two different options: Pond liner, or a...

Are you going to make the lay bin bioactive? I'm considering making mine bioactive, but am unsure if it's a good idea.

Oh, no, I can't wrap my head around bioactive and I'm too scared to try and introduce potential pests. People that can work it out though, very jealous of their set ups. Clean up crews sound awesome!

Well I'm back again, haven't had much to post because I don't have a chameleon currently. However, I do have the bioactive enclosure still running. I'm curious what people here have used as cleanup crews for bioactive terrariums. My bioactive enclosure has dairy cow isopods, red wrigglers...

I waa thinking buying a tray to make the cages bioactive. I was thinking about using PETG 3 d printing. Is 3d printing safe at all for chameleons? thinking about fumes chemical reactions and when is in contect with water and soil?

...but theoretically, PETG is food safe for humans, and heat resistant. Perfect for an enclosure. Although, it's not a tray for a bioactive bottom, this is a good topic on 3D printing for chameleon enclosures...

Check out ReptiZoo with enclosure if that’s available at the UK. Or have a look around your area who makes PVC enclosures. If you opt for bioactive.

...be more difficult due their egg laying issues, however if husbandry is spot-on it want gives that much of hassle and will even show you natures beauty and the work they put into the laying proces. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/first-successful-free-range-bioactive-egg-laying.182715/

...wider palette of colors and patterns, as I’m sure you can imagine. She also has a very chill and sweet personality. She has a layer of bioactive substrate in her indoor enclosure and a laying bin in her outdoor one. I hope everything goes well and she knows what to do when the times comes...

Hey…whatever works! Bioactive is not always the same thing for everyone. I do have some gaps that poos fall into, but the isopods still find it and take care of it.

...enclosure(way too small and now I see how small it was :( ). It’s still not complete as I just set it up, but I’m also planning on going bioactive with this enclosure. Missing many plants(if you have recommendations… do let me know) and iso/springtails to be fully bioactive… lmk I wanna do...

I've had my chameleon Iggy for about two months. He is a veiled chameleon. I love bioactive enclosures and I currently have two for my other reptiles. I'm home making a large enclosure for Iggy and plan on going bioactive. I already know what plants to use and how to set it up, but veiled chams...

Hello, I need some advice, I'm trying to improve my yemen chameleons set up, I want to make it more of a bioactive set up, I currently have no live plants and was wondering which ones would be best. My curent plan is to have half real and half fake plants and hopefully change that to 100% real...

I never did a bioactive set up. I will tag some people that know much more than I do about isopods and how many you should add in. @jamest0o0 @MissSkittles @Sonny13

yes, it’s bioactive and has a drainage layer. daytime temps are around 21-25 up top and 16-18 on the bottom. he has a basking branch under the heat bulb and it’s not obstructed.

2 cages 24x48. Mistking bigger one 2 heads in each cage and 2 spare. Led and t5 lights. They were setup as bioactive. So there drains on bottom 6 inches of dirt still in. Some of the plants still alive. The cages are made out of 1/4 pvc and one inch square aluminum tube. The doors are screen and...

...but no eggs, unless she was super sneaky about it. I can tell you to always be prepared for it with a permanent lay bin if you do not have bioactive set up. If and when she needs to lay eggs, she can. By the way, she is very beautiful. I love how her peachy blends in to her green…so very...

...him, so that when I am ready again, everything will already be finished. One thing I always wanted to do for Red was build him a proper bioactive enclosure, but at the time I was just getting my career started and never had the opportunity. Now that I’m in a better position, I want to build...

This is really looking so amazing! I have 3 of this exact cage for my Panther Chameleons. I haven’t braved the bioactive, but I do have live plants in mine. Only issue so far is the drainage. How is that going for you? I bet it has grown in a lot since posting here. Wishing you the very best!!

My carpet’s enclosure is getting a bit overgrown in the roots. This is my first and only bioactive enclosure so I’m not really sure what to do. With spring coming in I am going to be adding more soil and freshening up her leaf litter but I kind of want to do it all at the same time. Any...
