Cleanup Crew (Fauna)

Substrate Mix

ABG Mix: peat moss, orchid bark, horticultural charcoal, tree fern fiber, sphagnum moss. Or coconut coir-based mix.

Setup Notes

Maintain 70-90% humidity. Mist regularly. Use a drainage layer (LECA or false bottom) to prevent waterlogging. Live plants help regulate humidity naturally.

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 Rainbow Boa.
