    Example of how to efficient setup your enclosure

    As I´ve seen many builds here, I´m still surprised how many people don´t use the enclosure space to it´s fullest, just saying every inch of space you use, is an inch more space for your chameleon. Building an enclosure with Dragon Strand is the easiest way, especially with the Dragon Ledges...

    Just looking for some extra pointers!!

    I’m so glad I’m able to help! 😊 Most chain pet store crickets don’t tend to live very long. Keeping them clean and well ventilated is key to all crickets. Their poop and it’s fumes kill them. I started with a plastic cricket keeper, but it lacks adequate ventilation. I now use plastic bins that...

    Help find 24x24 substrate tray?

    I got the pouches from the bio dude. Great idea, but they are too small. I looked up the company that makes them and they come in a more appropriate size. But...I can’t find them in stock anywhere. I made the small bag work for one enclosure, but for my other two, I’m going to be getting these...
  4. For Toby

    My first post! Getting my first chameleon on Saturday! Last minute questions...

    HELLO EVERYONE! I'm about to get my first reptile ever! His name is already Toby, and I'm going to pick him out at the Scott Smith's All Animal Expo near Chicago on Saturday! I'm assuming he's going to be a panther, but I'm open to any chameleon who seems like a Toby, and will adjust my...

    More bioactive questions

    Can't answer anything on biodude because I'm not a fan and do not use his products, but I'll help with the others... -A drainage layer would be beneficial for any set up. -Soil should be as deep as you need it to be for your plants. I've had an inch deep and 2 feet deep, both worked. -giant...

    Going bioactive

    So ideally, you want to have a different cage for your Cham while you set this one up. A brand new bio is going to "Cycle", where it's going to get alot of mold and bacteria, and then deal with that. There is going to be lots of changes and life popping and dying for the first 2 weeks, to a...

    Just looking for some extra pointers!!

    Thank you so much it really means a lot. I appreciate you taking your time to write all this out for me. I will start with the lighting and the supplements first and go on from there. Again thank you so much!!

    Creating a soil bottom in a screen terrarium

    Welcome back and sorry you lost your cham. Sounds like you’re wanting to crate a bioactive enclosure. There’s a few different ways to achieve your goal. Some make a planter box and sit the enclosure on it. Some create with varied materials a box to fit inside the enclosure. I use root bags for...

    Bioactive Build

    I know this is unrelated to what you've been asking me, but I feel that I should ask just in case. Have you done all your research with cham husbandry? I'm not bashing you or trying to take your inventory, I just hate to see people get ahead of themselves and then end up sad from a sick cham...

    Root pouch experience

    No idea about how much cuc I put in. I had gotten some giant canyons and springtails from @jamest0o0 and had some that I had stolen and set aside to multiply from my leopard gecko tanks. I do know it was a never ending task trying to find and save as many as I could...so very many babies! I do...

    Going bioactive

    I can’t get another cage because I would have an empty cage after establishing bioactive. As much as I want another chameleon, I just don’t have enough time to care for 2. That’s why I think the planter box is a pretty good solution. I would basically mimic the conditions in the cage after I...

    Overwhelmed by information.... Looking for advice on cage upgrade!

    Hi, I have a chameleon cage I built about 2 years ago when I first got the little bugger. The current setup is 2'x2'x5' wood cage I built myself and I really like the size, but it has some problems. This is my first chameleon, and so it has been a real learning process, and I'm ready at this...

    Enclosure not draining?

    Ok, so, I got Randall and his cage from another person, so I do not know for sure what the layers look like. The substrate looks like eco earth and something else mixed into it. I will decrease the mistings once again and work on soaking up water. I was told there were drainage layers, but now I...

    Meet Yoda!

    I would remove all of the substrate (not needed unless fully bioactive- which it isn’t, as well as an impaction risk), all fake plants (impaction risk), the waterfall (bacteria breeding ground), and the hidey cave (not needed) ASAP! Move his feeding dish in the upper third part of his cage, too...

    Drainage in bioactive set up.

    Hiya all. Last night I had to dismantle my terrarium bioactive set up. Gutted to say the last. As you can see from the photos, it completely flooded. I've had to discard all of the balls and substrate. It seems to me that I got supplied the wrong balls? Can anyone advise me on what to do? I've...

    Large, bioactive cage build! Please critique!

    Nice Necro :p. 1. Don't use Biodude anything, he Litteraly stole everything he sells from the Bioactive Facebook group. He also charges more than it would cost to make it yourself. 2. As Extension already pointed out, ABG is bad long term, in my case I use Sunshine Mix as well, and for my...

    Sphagnum Moss Question

    I’m not sure if it would pass if he ate it, but personally I wouldn’t risk it. About the pet store guy telling you to put moist moss on the enclosure floor...I haven’t heard about that but it doesn’t sound like a good idea. Bare floor is best unless you are bioactive. To maintain humidity, you...

    Releasing crickets in cage?

    Wow there... This moss is bacteria and impaction land, you need to remove it asap. Bare bottom enclosure or bioactive. I can also tell from the pic you have incorrect lighting, and from what you are saying im getting the idea you are not gutloading. Please fill this form out and create a new...
