I forgot to mention that I will be also using sand. But i was skeptical about this mix because theres litterally no nutrient rich components...
Tree fern is a fiber to better aerate soil
Charcoal for more water filtration and breeding sides for microorganisms
I have no intention on using...
After combining the answers you've provided with the naturally created discussion (I pretty much enjoyed how much information I was able to absorb), I was able to improve my raw project. I'm considering using charcoal as the breeding medium for springtails other than filtration. The excess water...
We are all good and we are always seeking advice, Klyde O'Scope.
I supposed anyone could understand my highly criticized calligraphy and would create a presumption of my intentions without any background information. That's why I needed to clarify a few things in my previous post.
Thank you for...
The 400$ value is based on substrate layers, drainage, clean up crew, and flora only; additionally, this is an open budget project, meaning that the 24x24x48 enclosure, hydration system, lightning, timer, hygrometer, feeding routine, and the chameleon itself is not included on the 400$ initial...
This is what i planned about my 24x24x48 bioactive enclosure for tropical chameleon with mistking and adequate lightning. I would like some advice and tips on how to proceed if I am not following the right path already.
Do I need filtration to reuse the drained water for mistking system?
I couldn't imagine how much information my post would bring me in a short period of time. My motivation certainly spiked, and I feel more than happy to have the support of this community on my project. My next concern is about Misting Systems. MistKing is the way to go, and I would like some...
Right now, the house average temperature and humidity are 74F-77F and 36%-58% consecutively. Also, I've been rethinking how the misting process will work with a caged enclosure instead of glass. Since the humidity and temperature are already on the range (is it?), the glass enclosure doesn't...
Ok, so lets forget about outdoor enclosures then...
For humidity -in a bioactive enclosure- i just bought and received the Govee from Amazon. (Of course i will have hygrometer inside the enclosure as well).
Online articles and websites claim that the optimal daytime temperature for a veiled...
Since it is a project and i do not posses any of this items, lets pretend i have this ones:
Heat: halogen bulb 60w 120v
Growth: led light
Uvb: reptisun t5 24" reflector
Location: Orlando, FL
The cage would be positioned upstairs, indoor with AC system 24/7. Varying between 77F-74F.
I dont...
24x24x48 bioactive enclosure. Monsoon Solo II Mist System.
The daylight cycle would be from 8 am to 7 pm
-2 heat lamps
-UVB 24'' + reflector
The hydration cycle would be separated by
-2 minutes morning mist at 8 AM
-2 minutes dawn mist at 8 PM
-5 minutes late night mist at 2 AM
What changes...
