Hop on into this bioactive White’s tree frog enclosure, submitted by Jordan🐸
Some elements that make this tank a great one include a hardscape that pairs perfectly with White’s tree frogs’ arboreal lifestyle. Having branches attached to a background offers many perching options. The cork tube covered in moss is especially great because of the soft texture provided and the ability of the frog to go inside! Also included in this setup were live plants that can support the frogs’ fat little bodies, like bromeliads and elephant ears. Other frog-friendly choices include: a prayer plant, bird’s nest ferns, and neon pothos. These plants provide visual density that will help the frogs feel more secure.

Occupied!❎
This jinga seed pod is the perfect hiding spot for 2 baby Central American banded geckos (Coleonyx mitratus). Nut pods and seed pods are a favorite for isopods and springtails, but some shapes also make excellent shelters or even water dishes for small reptiles, dart frogs, and tarantulas.
If you’re interested in giving a bioactive forever home to one of these unique, stripey geckos, visit our Morph Market or come see us at our southeast Houston store!

You've heard of dracaenas storing water in their axil, but a whole gargoyle gecko?!
Pictured: A gargoyle gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) posing on a Dracaena fragrans 'Dorado' plant in The Bio Dude store For Sale Animals section. Some of our other favorite plants to use in garg builds include: Philodendron 'Birkin,' varieties of diffenbachia, and varieties of homalonema.

A+ on the basking technique🦎☀
Chuckwallas are true sun-lovers, evolved for life among the blazing rocks of America's Southwestern deserts. To recreate that environment in captivity, we positioned a Deep Heat Projector and basking bulb above flagstone slate. Including realistic temperature gradients, UVB exposure, and stable rockwork helps reptiles regulate their body temperature just as they would in nature.
If this little guy peaks your interest, we invite you to come visit him at our store. He's captive-bred from our friends at Arids Only and has a great personality!

Phyllobates terriblis are among the loudest poison dart frogs. They are also the most toxic (in the wild). But we love them for it!

Really branching out with this bioactive bearded dragon enclosure!🦎🌵
This is the first entry in our November Tank Tuesday competition series, where four enclosures will compete for a $25 Bio Dude gift card!

Some features that make this habitat well-designed include a wide variety of natural textures, opportunity zones throughout, and a solid basking area. While bearded dragons are considered terrestrial, offering different elevations adds variety in temperature and humidity across the tank. This gives your lizard more options for comfortable spots to rest and thermoregulate. It also supports exercise and enrichment by providing new areas to explore. Interacting with the textures of their environment helps reptiles stay mentally stimulated. This tank features grapevine wood, cork, rocks, and plants for the dragon to investigate.

Let’s talk about these great flora options for bearded dragons: elephant feed, spaghetti agave, and opuntia “Prickly Pear” cactus. Many herbivorous pets appreciate the chance to forage in their bioactive enclosures. Bearded dragons often enjoy nibbling on elephant feed and munching on cacti or aloe plants. Herbs like basil, rosemary, and thyme make excellent, safe options too.

To enter November's competition, tag us, DM us, email us, or share large, wide-angle photos of your bioactive tank in our Facebook group, Bioactive Reptile and Amphibian Setups USA. Tell us who lives in it and any details you’d like to share. You must live in the U.S. to use the gift card prize. Your bioactive tank must showcase excellent husbandry to be considered. Invertebrate, reptile, and amphibian enclosures are all welcome.
