Savanna / Grassland Bioactive Setup

Recommended local flora and fauna for recreating Common Grass Mabuya's natural habitat in a bio-active enclosure.

Cleanup Crew (Fauna)

Substrate Mix

50% playsand, 40% organic topsoil, 10% coconut coir. Top with leaf litter and dry grasses.

Setup Notes

Moderate humidity (40-60%). Provide basking spots and shaded areas. Use leaf litter for natural cover and to support the cleanup crew.

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 Common Grass Mabuya.
