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...

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...

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...

Cute comments the chameleons are making! Nice setup too.

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 Chameleon Community, I would like to share a detailed overview of my male Trioceros jacksonii bioactive enclosure in hopes of receiving constructive feedback, suggestions, and insights from experienced keepers. My goal is to ensure his habitat is optimal and to refine the setup wherever...

Hi, first, I am sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask in, I am a newbie here. So I am going to add isopods and spring tails to my chameleon habitat but I have cocopeat so I asked an online shop and he said that cocopeat is low on nutrients for the insects, so he told me to add these: volcanic...

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...

So these are a type of terrestrial amphipod (crustacean). They spring around and feed on similar things as isopods. Almost a year ago I bought a small cup for my crab tank and figured they died off. Well I was tidying up my crab tank, moving around soil and noticed them everywhere in the lower...

Trying to think of ways to optimize the space in a bioactive enclosure. In trying to maximize the amount of green it occurred to me to add moss to the substrate. Is this a viable option?

Started this awhile ago but never have much time so do like 2 hours at a time when I get the chance to work on it. Built the base out of 2x3s and made cabinet doors all out of pvc board and trim. The bottom was just 1/2” pvc board screwed together with silicone on the joints then spray painted...

I'm currently planning and designing a bioactive enclosure and I had some questions about plants. 1) on pretty much every "approved plants" list I've noticed that they are almost exclusively green leafy plants with very few other colors and almost no flowers. Is there a reason for this? 2)...

I’m turning my xl reptibreeze into a bioactive enclosure. I don’t want my guy to lose any space so ima build a 24x24x12” “box” for it to sit on and remove the floor so I can fill the box with the substrate etc. My question is what can I use that will be good enough to not warp from the water...

Hey everyone so I was wondering if there’s any species of isopods I can add in my bioactive enclosure that will coexist with the dwarf whites that I already have in there. I’d like a larger species that I can see doing there thing on top of the substrate and can live in that moist climate and...

Debating on switching over to bioactive after an infestation of fungus gnats. What are the most important reasons for switching other than cleaning? Is bioactive possible and easily done in a screen enclosure? I feel like I've seen mostly glass for bioactive. Does the CUC ever get out? How long...

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...

As I'm seeing many posts lately about how to make your screen enclosure bioactive and more naturalistic, I want to highlight a blog about it which goes into details with a gear list. Maybe it could help someone, also included a fogging system modification. Have fun reading...

Hello all, Bioactive stuff is new since I last kept chams 10 years ago. I’ve seen some things on bioactive roaches, but is anyone keeping their crickets in bioactive bins? Mainly asking because this will be my first round of keeping since I got married and I need to figure out how to keep...
