bioactive vivarium build ✾ Brazilian rainbow boa enclosure upgrade

In this video i build Cora my Brazilian rainbow boa a new bioactive vivarium. She has been growing so i felt like it was time for an enclosure upgrade. In this bioactive vivarium i use live plants and micro fauna like isopods, springtails, and worms to mimic a natural ecosystem. In bioactive vivariums the micro fauna (isopods, springtails and worms) break down my Brazilian rainbow boas waste and the leaves the plants drop over time into important nutrients for the plants to use. Bioactive vivariums are a great way to mimic your reptiles natural habitat and bring a little bit of nature into your space.
I will be posting about many different topics including reptiles, invertebrates, house plants, terrarium plants, medicinal plants, mushrooms, magic, spiritually etc.
so stay tuned if you want to see any of that:)
