The whole floating garden setup is really ideal if you’re not doing a bioactive floor I have a mesh floor too so water fully exits the cage as there’s no barrier for drainage

...able to have each of mine in double wides and love seeing them have and use more space. I wish I could give even more. All of my chams have bioactive set ups in full screened enclosures. I use layers of plastic tarp beneath as extra insurance against excess water escaping. Then inside I have...

Hey Everyone! So with a new Panther chameleon "Skittles" in the house and a want to provide the best enclosure I can for him. I would love everyone's feedback on the build and recommend anything I can do differently to maximize Skittle's home. Pic of Skittles: Here are some pictures of the...

...they aren’t the phorid flies…just soil gnats or fruit flies. To make life easier for my pet sitter when I went away, I set up my crickets bioactively (the roaches were already bioactive). Well, I guess the sitter put out too much food for them and the gnats/flies came. It’s mainly the cricket...

I am planning on having potted plants. My veiled chameleon will be transferring in.

It was so cute! lol i love mushrooms I think they’re super cool

The above build is beautiful. Here's my (quite lazy in comparison) bioactive Reptibreeze. I manually drain the tray once a week or so using a small tube and bucket, but the same idea could be used for an automated drainage system. I have springtails and dairy cow isopods. The drain water did...

I enjoy the all the live plants in your enclosure. Yeah I had a few pretty plants that also died and was sad. I also have just left her bin in the enclosure and am patiently waiting. She does seem skinnier at times but also still looks chunky. I’ll post a pic of her tomorrow to show what I mean...

...‘friendliness’ I have had 2 male panthers who run to come out as soon as I open their door. Their enclosures were/are double sized 2x4x4’, bioactive and have everything they need - proper uvb levels, proper basking temps, plenty of live plants, lots of natural branches of varied diameters...

Regarding BSFL, I had them reproducing in small rates in my 4ft deep substrate bioactive. Just enough that there was always a few flying around, but not so many that they were out of control. Downside is I felt my chams got sick of eating them after a while.

THAT is a gorgeous enclosure, wow!!! And a handsome little man to boot! I've never tried bioactive myself, but hope to one day... Do you have clay rocks on the bottom for drainage? Can you show a picture of the full enclosure? A great post about bioactive set ups is here...

Sorry for the late response, been busy. I actually covered her with a sheet to give her that privacy. I will try that trash bag method since it will also keep the humidity better… I did do Saran Wrap on Ollie’s cage and it worked like a charm for humidity control. Been thinking about doing that...

Thanks so much! Which isopods do you recommend? There are a lot of options... I've got a bioactive terrarium with soil and a bunch of cham-safe plants. I put earthworms in there, and springtails, and one round of isopods but I'm not sure how they faired.

Hi. Sorry that you lost your Red. He was stunning! May he be enjoying the bounty of the hereafter. 💗 I have fully bioactive enclosures, but use root pouches to contain everything on drainage trays (ReptiBreeze), so can’t be of too much help there. However, I can link you to some products that...

I don't want to do bioactive just because of the way I have the bottom built

...of tank used? I don’t think my house gets too humid thankfully so I think would be ok controlling it in a pvc or glass enclosure? With bioactive is they safe for chameleons I’ve seen lots advice against it due to ingestion.. but wouldn’t have thought a chameleon would be on the ground? And...

...gravid to warn off males, but honestly, my girl is over four years old and has never laid eggs before so I'm a little surprised. She has a bioactive tank so there's plenty of moist dirt for her to dig in in the bottom if she needs it. Was just wondering everyone's opinions on the coloring...

...blog on egg laying; but I'm going to tag @MissSkittles because she's super knowledgeable of keeping multiple chameleons, female needs, and bioactive set ups. There is a way to make your reptibreeze bioactive, but I've never tried it. To help keep the humidity there are also cheap tricks to...

Thank you for the replies! The bottom is bioactive (I come from reef hobby so really enjoy ecosystem based care). I swapped out the basking bulb for a lower wattage. Will have the feeder done later today. He did end up hunting yesterday evening and I saw him eat 5 crickets. Thank you for...

https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/ This is what I used as my guide when I got started with bioactive and I did get a big bag of Fox Farms Ocean Forest. It was a bit too expensive to use for all of my set ups, so I just use whatever organic garden soil Lowe’s has.
