she’s in cage number 2 I went back and edited them with labels. She has a old shelving unit I turned into a laying bin for her. Her is a thread on the bins I diyWhat pic was your female in no.3 is there a lay bin in the enclosure
I let her lay in the bottom no need to add a laying bin, the whole floor was her laying bin lol. You don’t have to dig up the eggs if your going bioactive the cuc ( clean up crew ) will eat the eggs. Unless your eggs are fertilized no need to dig them upI'm just asking as I'm going bio next and I have a female panther. So did you let her lay in the the bottom. Or add another lay bin in as I was thinking it could b a nightmare to recover eggs in a bio ?
You can dig them up, I had to problem digging up her eggs. Her cage is just sitting on top of the bin so I just had to slide the cage a little over and boom baby I got eggs. Witch is great because she’s extremely cage aggressive. I can’t even open her cage without her lunging at me at least onceBut just saying. To count the number of eggs to see if she is laying to much to alter diet. And if they where fertile?
Will definitely look in it alot more and find whats right for the new enclosures. (Once they arrive) we can't get sansi here not sure about AFAIK but will investigate more thanks for the helpI did look at Jungle Dawn; IDK how good they are, but they seemed overpriced and they don't (yet) off the size I needed, so I passed and went for the Sansi. AFAIK, the different wattages have to do with the length of the bulbs. I forget what lengths they offer, but the idea is that they run the length of an enclosure—like UVBs.
The first image is what the enclosures look like at the moment and the second image is the idea of new enclosures. I've told my hubby that I want this for Christmas so we having an enclosure custom made. (Similar to image 2 as we won't be able to import thats specific one too expensive) Im looking at ideas for now as I would like the new enclosures to be bio active hence me starting this thread. I will only know the size of the enclosure once it arrives (as my hubby is arranging everything) and then ill be able to transform it and make it fully bioactive. There current enclosures are fine for them until everything has settled and I have all the right stuff for it new oneWhat type is your enclosure as It takes time to set up bio. Maybe be able to sort out small changes in the mean time
Thank you for the share, I went to your link and saw you used a light cover as a backing to make the side walls, ideally I would like to do the same or similar and then screw the new wall the the enclosure walls. Any tips or things you figured out that you would do differently?I’m late to the party but here are all my bioactive cages. My female veiled just laid eggs a few weeks ago in the medium and it worked out great. Could hardly tell where she dug her hole.

Thank you for the share, if I may ask how did you mess up the first-time? I only have one shot at this so I really can't mess anything upHi there!
I really like bioactive. I started with a smaller enclosure and goofed up my drainage and it got gross, but I did much better this time around. I have a better soil mix (50% play sand) that drains easier and I have actual drainage holes and a tray. The gardening is just as fun and challenging as the chameleon keeping, IMO!

Plastic egg crates!!! They are amazing I have a wall build one second....
Plz excuse how wired I am
I first made sure the egg crate was the right size, I think I only cut about an inch off. It fits in very snug actually. I’ll take more pics of the wall in the morning for you so i don’t upset the reptile room lolThank you that video is cute not weird ? and helpful. How did you secure the wall to the enclosure?
Awesome thanks so muchI first made sure the egg crate was the right size, I think I only cut about an inch off. It fits in very snug actually. I’ll take more pics of the wall in the morning for you so i don’t upset the reptile room lol

Thank you ? I’m really happy with how the plants have grown in over the year. The monstera is definitely an amazing plant for there enclosures. I would like to add one to imeldas cage in hole she won’t murder it with her plant nibbling.I’ve been thinking about how I want to set up my new guy’s enclosure and now I know.
Btw, I absolutely love your hair color!
