Hello everyone. I'm planning on setting up a bioactive enclosure for what will probably be an Arizona Mountain Kingsnake. I have been reading as much as I can online but I still have some questions, and I thought that this forum would probably have a lot of useful info.
My main question is what kinds of enclosures would work for bioactive setups, and where would I purchase them? I know that aquariums would work and would probably be the easiest to set up, but I really prefer side opening enclosures. However, I was worried that they wouldn't be deep enough to hold the layers of substrate needed for bioactive.
Heating and lighting are also issues that I have been considering. I was thinking of using a radiant heat panel on the side of the enclosure to get around the problem of heating through thick substrate, but I would welcome second opinions. I am also looking for advice on the best way to light an enclosure like this. If you have any suggestions or experience with bioactive setups I would love to hear from you.Thanks in advance!
