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, diy, pics/video, cuc, and reptiles.
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!
