Thanks. My terrarium does include them even though you can't see them. Minus the substrate on the bottom of course.

Not really. Obviously the bottom not covered in substrate is not bioactive nor is it self sustained, but that doesn't invalidate that the there is still soil in the cage along with live plants, earthworms, isopods, springtails, stratiolaelaps scimitis in the enclosure which do self sustain in...

AmandaS - This is bioactive? Yes, yes it is. There is no hard definition of "bioactive" in relation to the reptile cage, terrarium, enclosure world. It loosely means "self sustaining" in which my terrarium is. I love snarky loaded questions. Please feel free to ask more.

Without context? Per the OP, post your DS photo. That's what I did, no other context needed. Thanks Dad! Duly noted.

I'm always willing to learn new things and accept unsolicited advice. My last chameleon was kept in the very same spot for a little over 9 years before he passed. Seems like it's ok as is.

Don't be confused and use these infographs.

Here's mine. The plants are starting to fill in nicely.

Somebody more experienced will chime in. If you have a panther, I wouldn't worry too much. Veilds will probably take a chomp out of it though.

Here's the other chart I forgot to attach. This one may be easier to read as most will have their chameleon 6" below the top of the cage.

The orchid the person gave to me was in a glass vase that was unable to breath due to having no drainage hole. Im sure itll perk right up after a few weeks in my cage. Looks like itll be an easy transition to a bioactive cage. Youre essentially halfway there.

Thats's a boston fern in the back. Baby Tears on the bottom, a cutting of a monestera on the top and trying to save that pathetic orchid that was given to me.

I was you just a month ago. Now im here in the process. Im unsure if im going to put a substrate in the bottom. Not a fake plant in sight.

Hello All, First time poster, but long time reader and reptile enthusiast. Just got my first Dragonstrand cage and completed it today. I can't wait for all the plants to fill in.
