r/bioactive is a subreddit with 38k 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, diy, invertebrates, and plants.
The term 'bioactive' is commonly used to describe terrariums and vivariums that include natural substrate and a clean-up crew, such as isopods and springtails. In r/bioactive, we use the broader idea of setting up any sort of naturalistic enclosure in order to mimic the animal's natural environment.
Photos, videos, questions, and discussion on any aspect of a bioactive enclosure are all welcome here!
