That’s one of the more rewarding aspects of bioactive…watching how it all grows. It’s always interesting and challenging to see what plants thrive and what plants don’t and how they grow when left to do their thing. Some of the plants that I was the most excited to include where the ones that didn’t survive in any of the enclosures. Ones that I casually added with little hope have grown very well.

Thanks, it worked out pretty amazing. Only if I could do it again, I would put in more effort in the drainage and drainage, it´s okay but not perfect.

So true!! Had the same issues, needed to replace a few plants which I hope to thrive and others are growing as weed. The plants that don´t work for in all my enclosures are ferns and that´s one plant needs be in such enclosure, yet they keep dying on me.

That is too funny. It was the ferns that all died for me too. I was excited about having something for the shadier areas, but they all died within a week.

Jip, and everyone says they need moist soils and can live in the shades, well not! I got them at 3 different positions, wet and more dry, shady and in full light, but nothing!! Shamefully, I really those prehistoric looking plants.

I love it! It’s so awesome how we can create these little slices of nature in our homes and have them take on lives of their own.

That is awesome! I can’t lie I’m already thinking about getting Jeb a bigger enclosure in the future! Your chameleon is going to be so happyAs our home rebuilding is slowly reaching an end, I came in the meantime in contact with a Ball Python breeder and enclosure builder. After some chatting he came with an offer and I accepted it. I still got that dream of building a massive ´small´ forest in the office room and for now I don´t know who will be inhabitant for it. However, within 3-4 weeks I´ll get the new enclosure and will slowly start planting and decorating it and I will take my time for it
So what´s gonna be? Well, a beautiful hand-build 4'9 by 2´3 by 4´9 enclosure, like the one in the picture. And then best part is its price, $550.00 I think is a fair enough price for it.
Keep you posted, I´m really excited and can´t wait

Thank youThat is awesome! I can’t lie I’m already thinking about getting Jeb a bigger enclosure in the future! Your chameleon is going to be so happy
Also don’t forget to consider free range as an option, at least if it‘s possible in your situation (small children, other animals). Because 3 out of 4 chameleons are living 24/7 free range, and gives another extra dimension to the interaction with them. I got a Veiled, Jackson and Boehmei living free range, all with the same setup like described in my blog.

Your bromeliad is going nuts in there! What are the purple leaf plants?

Awaiting the flowers that will pop out of it. It’s a Gynura Purple Passion
They are really cool looking. I love bromiliads. I tried one in Beman's cage but then as soon as the flower stalk thing started opening up with flowers Beman started shredding it lol. He left it alone until then though.
