I am not sure which to do yet. Any suggestions?Are you doing a bioactive enclosure or just regular terrarium for your cham?
Well bioactive is better but its a lot more work. If you want to go the easy way you dont need substrate just get some plants in pots and thats it( you should have some dead branches just so he can have more places). I dont have bioactive but I would love to try to make it but you need to get into it to make it.I am not sure which to do yet. Any suggestions?
Again, that's a matter of opinion (in my opinion ). I'm not against bioactive in the least (for chams). I looked into it extensively, and my conclusion is—it's a choice—both have pros & cons.I tough it’s healthier for the cham? Im new to all of this too.
Even the guru (Josh Halter) disagrees with that part.It's more work to set up properly, but has almost 0 upkeep afterward outside of maintaining plants and feeding.
She really knows her stuff when it comes to bioactive set ups. Besides draining off water or adding additional CUC I am not sure what you mean by "there is a little more to it". And if someone wants to go into this area with there enclosures they need to do the proper planning and research.Even the guru (Josh Halter) disagrees with that part.

Did you read the linked article?I am not sure what you mean by "there is a little more to it".
Isn't that what we've been saying?I do not want to see this thread become bioactive vs not either. So lets leave this here. The point is bioactive is a great option or bare bottom. There is not an in between the two. And if bioactive is what someone is trying to go for then it must be done properly.

I don't have to bake a cake by scratch and another by using a mix to recognize (from reading the recipes & instructions) that one is more challenging than the other.Unless you have DONE both how can you say either way.
And now this is now turning into a total thread derailment...I don't have to bake a cake by scratch and another by using a mix to recognize (from reading the recipes & instructions) that one is more challenging than the other.
Somehow some people seem to be getting the idea that I'm against bioactive enclosures despite repeatedly stating I am not. All I've said is that there are pros & cons for each, and cited an article by Josh Halter that explains that bioactive does involve maintenance. If you disagree, please—by all means—take it up with him.
There's no crime in wanting—or being willing to go the extra mile—to do bioactive.
Wow. Is this subject so polarizing that someone can't see both sides, while recognizing there are differences?
