r/bioactive is a subreddit with 34k members. The community frequently discusses bioactive, plants, snake, isopods, and substrate, and they frequently recommend/review soil, plants, and plant, and the most common flair used is question, reptiles, pics/video, cuc, and diy.
Most commonly the word "bioactive" is used to describe terrariums and vivariums that include natural substrate and a clean up crew. In r/bioactive we want to use the broader idea of setting up any sort of enclosure in order to mimic the animal's natural environment. Pics, videos, questions and discussion on any aspect of a bioactive enclosure are all welcome here.
