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.

Chami! 😍🤣 The females are known to be much sassier than the males. It sounds much like Ollie's set up; so I'd recommend much of the same I did for him in your previous post. Except there are some slight changes you'll need to make, because it's female. But, first I want to show you some ways...

Spending a fun day baking potting soil. Finally redoing Stella’s bioactive set up, but my giant bag of soil had roaches all in it. 😱 Now I trust none of them and have to bake them all. Criminy!

I can tell you that I’ve been using the root pouches for at least the past three years and it works out great for me. After about a year, various things caused me to need to take apart my bioactive set ups and I was pleasantly shocked to see that aside from a bit of surface dirt, the bags almost...

I’ve been thinking about switching to bioactive for my Cham, I did in my bearded dragon enclosure and it’s going well. I hope anyway. So now I want to plan for the other. I’m kinda lost on doing the bottom. Like I’ve seen some people use a plant grow bag, zen habitats has a clear “bio basin”. I...

Thank you for your response! Yes I am running a bio active setup. I have 4-5 bags of Hydroballs lining the bottom separated by mesh and then coconut husk as the topper where everything then starts. I also added a Clean up crew before adding the Cham in around 24ish hours before. I tried...

I had to bake my soil because (living in Florida) I found roaches had set up house in the bag. This is the first and only time I’ve ever baked my soil. I feel like it kills all of the good things and nutrition in the soil. If you opt to do this, get some large disposable baking trays or cover...

so glad you posted this! I just got some dragon strands and am debating on bioactive now….but I don’t know how I would do it.

Hi all so ,first bio . Going with arcadia earth mix, but some have reccomended adding wood chips for the cuc ,I have some bogwood, I thought this would be better ( with tanin levels ) than just adding other wood chips, thoughts? Also I received a delivery of stuff today which included a bag of...

The only medical use that I’m aware of for barium is for radiographic studies…like to view the digestive tract in X rays. Maybe something got lost in explanation. 🤷‍♀️ Dragon Strand is a great enclosure with good ventilation. Yeah…grapevine tends to mold with moisture and high humidity. The...

Dokie okie I like where we are all going here, thanks to the power of the interwebs I feel like I have learned to drive a race car super fast….. but I didn’t know what brakes were and as such didn’t know how to ask about their use ;-). Thus the social experiment with the all worlds knowledge...

So I will go ahead and order my dragonstrand (and pc fan)- but here is the plan: a bioactive setup below (probably a mesh planter bag) with a central tree/plant, cork islands foamed onto the walls that also act as planters and helps cover where the branches are attached to the ledges. Want to...

Showoff… 😆

Note.... Hibiscus are great... I have two of them in Beman's cage. but you have to have a high powered light like a jungle dawn LED bar or sansi for them to bloom. Gnats are in the soil... In literally any plant you buy and any bag of potting soil. Organic or not they have them. Moisture build...

Thanks for re-sharing your bioactive set up, MissSkittles. My male's cage is a bare bottom (with tons of potted plants and plant stands) but I am going to convert it to bioactive because I really like the bioactive set-up I have in the female's cage. Of course hers had a 6" tall glass bottom...

I also have two fans pulling up on top already too to make sure there is enough air flow. But I don’t want to block the front, right? They have grow bags like the perfect size too but tall, I found an 11” tall one. Could I cut that to where it’s like 4.5” tall and then fill it up and still get...

Hey Hey Beman! Taking Yoshi to the vet today, but I noticed she’s been a a darker green these past few days, but when I first got her she was light green. Is this completely normal?

When I set up my very first bioactive tank (for a leopard gecko), I felt intimidated by making my own substrate and bought some from the Bio Dude. It’s still working just fine in the tank and my only complaint about it is it’s price. For what I spent on one big bag of his substrate, I can buy...

If using a glass or other watertight container, you’ll need to create a way to remove the excess drainage from the drainage layer. Most usually use a piece of pvc piping notched at one end that is placed down to the very bottom and extends thru the substrate layers and is capped. When needing to...
