So I'd really like to go bioactive, but I have a few questions for anyone with experience with bioactive vivariums, mostly just to double-check a couple of things.
What plants should I use? I was thinking of a few dracaena plants, pothos, and some ferns. That should work, correct?
Do the springtails, woodlice, and earthworms need any grub, or anything? I know they eat some feces, but do they need anything else? And do they need their own substrate (beneath the BP's substrate), like charcoal, and/or ABG mixed substrate?
This doesn't really have anything to do with bioactive setups, but will those bamboo things hold a fully grown ball python's weight? And what wattage ceramic heat emitter is best for the hotspot? The instructions usually say that of there's any more than 19 inches between the CHE, use aa hiher wattage (100), to give off 85-90? I'll be using a thermostat, of course.
Thanks.
