OK. Not an issue for me. I'm not doing bioactive, and I cover my potted plants with river pebbles. ;)

Ok so you’re using soil which is better if you’re putting a pothos in it. Just make sure the plant doesn’t take over the entire bin Edit: personally I use play sand but soil is good as long as it’s organic and has no fertilizer or pesticides. Also none of those little white perlite

Have you used perlite ? There is also this thing call hatch rite i dont know if that’s good because the Vermiculite I can’t find . The one I found is to much over here

Okay I’ll pick up some play sand later when I go out and try it out. But I also had a question, she does not look Gravid, but I wanted to put the lay bin in now, but will it dry out?

Well the soil in the pothos should be organic already. Since you should repot with organic to watch out for fertilizer/pesticides and perlite. Just like you’re planting something in soil make a whole and plant it. It should not like I said since it should be the same type of soil pretty much...

You could cover the soil with some landscaping cloth then put rocks ontop to hold it down and hopefully keep him out. The white pieces are perlite you don’t want him eating that. money trees aren’t the best plants for veileds they like to eat plants. There sap might be harmful but that’s still...

When I first joined this forum I got some advise and tips from a few members on this forum to assist me with my humiditylevels. I originally had wood chips and moss in my enclosure of which it was advised to remove it as the chams can ingest it and it will cause impaction I have attached a...

Bill - do you use perlite in your potting mixtures in cages without issue? There are several plants I plan to use in a new setup that would benefit from perlite added into the soil. For some reason, I was concerned about compaction from perlite, but not from the other soil ingredients. Cham will...

You shouldn’t let it get too wet in the egg box as they can swell and burst prematurely. Do not spray the eggs or drip water on the eggs. The soil should also be vermiculite or perlite, not whatever that is. Just my opinion. Good luck

...cages. is to the substrate. They actually do better if they get a chance to drain. Traditional soils consist of long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite, but that is retaining too much water in cham cage with twice daily mistings. So I just repotted with adding some charcoal and large chunks of...

...that information. In addition, he vastly overcharges for everything he sells, especially things like Terra firma (organic potting without perlite), hydrogrow (fish tank gravel), hydrogrow V2 (pumice/lava rock)... Sorry to be negative, I just feel that he has a very unethical business model...

Missus just came in—dejected. She said the FoxFarm Happy Frog contains perlite. ? Screwit. We looked at each other and said in unison, "Cover it with stones." I shoulda known when I came down with that migraine first thing in the morning—it was gonna be one of those days... :banghead:

It's perlite. Should pass, hydrate well, lots of hornworms and silkworms. Keep an eye on poops and feeding just incase of impaction.

personally.. the 3 risk in cages i always try to avoid is coco fiber, perlite and plastic.. in the wild animals are exposed to plastic and its rarely repport as a benefit ;) my enclossures are full of junk (dirt, decaying woods, sands, leaves, mushroom, bark, moss, rock) but its natural junk...

...potting soil 1 part orchid bark 1 part course sand (a little less is good) 1 part horticultural charcoal I add vermiculite, pumice, and perlite because my Jackson’s chameleon doesn’t free range feed anymore or eat dirt. When I need to replant I will be mixing all of the above since it takes...

Oh! Forgot to remove that before taking a picture - it's a bit of perlite. :oops: I was fooled many times by perlite while digging around haha!

Hello everyone my name is Christine and my panther chameleon laid her first clutch last night. Can you all help me with any info on what is the best way to incubate the eggs? As of right now I have them in a container with holes and perlite, is that okay and what else should I do? Please help

Does not matter if you are covering the top with stones... I have Veileds and they stay out of it completely.

Is he pooping? What substrate do you have in the cage? Is there perlite in the plant soil? Fertilizer?
