Bio active lay bin?

[PistachioG]

Curious if anyone with a female has experimented with a bio active lay bin? I don’t want to do the entire enclosure bioactive but wondered if doing so with a lay bin would keep the sand soil mix healthy. I thought of it yesterday because it’s where my cham poops. Apparently it’s a giant litter box and not for eggs

I wouldn’t see a problem with it. Just as long as the lay bin meets the requirements of a lay bin.

I would just wonder about the bug activity having an effect on the eggs which I don’t know if they would or whether or not you have fertile eggs.

I am not breeding her.

THen I guess it doesn’t matter.

I had some succes with this, see my thread about it. However my setup is full bioactive. I left the eggs for the cleanup crew

I have my girls in full bioactive but they are yet to lay in it. I admit that when the time comes, I’m going to be a bit nervous and hope that the soil is moist enough to hold wherever they choose to tunnel. No concerns at all about the clean up crew. If anything it’ll provide little snacks if she wants during her labors.

Thank you, I’ll check it out.

Mine stays fairly moist between misting and watering plants that sit above it. Maybe too moist for a good bioactive? I need to do a lot more learning before trying it out but if I do I’ll share how it’s going.

My female thinks her lay bin is a bathroom as well. Don't have any bioactive experience, but it seems like an interesting idea.
