    Re: Success With Planted/bio-active BP Vivarium?

I like the look of the enclosure a lot and he has explained the benefits of the setup and has given me a crash course on how it works. It's a option I have thought about, but am in no rush.

    So, more experienced keepers: any experience with Bio-Active?? Pros? Cons? Aside from BPs, has anybody used it for Kings or corns?
    Thanks in advance...
    Both my king and my corn are in planted tanks (one year,plus). These two snakes have benefited from the more stable humidity. I live in the desert.

    Potos, Sanseveria, and Hedera helix have done well. I actually consider all those sort of boring plants, but they flourished, and the others died off. I also have some low and not so visible "Mother of thousands" can't remember the Latin lane - roundish lobed, somewhat furry leaves, and sends out numerous runners with baby plants.

    If I do another, I'll use Great Stuff Foam, and follow the build methods that dart frog and geko people tend to go with. Then, the plants will be mostly trailing down from the vertical wall, and there will be more free space on the floor, with fewer crushed plants.

    There are numerous postings and pics from the past on this topic, Worth the search if more indepth info in needed.
