Cleanup Crew (Fauna)

Substrate Mix

Organic topsoil mixed with coconut coir (60/40). Top with native leaf litter (oak, maple).

Setup Notes

Moderate humidity (40-60%). Provide seasonal temperature variation. Use native leaf litter for a naturalistic look. Earthworms help aerate the soil.

๐ŸŒฑ Why Bioactive?

Bio-active enclosures use living plants and microfauna to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. The cleanup crew breaks down waste, eliminates odors, and enriches the soil โ€” reducing maintenance while providing a naturalistic, enriching environment for your Indochinese Box Turtle.
