Opinions on Biodude bioactive setup?

[lizardmom]

I have a 24x18x12 exo terra that I will be setting up for my new juvenile leopard gecko when he gets big enough. It is going in my living room so I would like it to be both attractive and and to provide enrichment for my Merlin. Anyone have experience with a bio active setup with live plants, particularly the bio dude kits? The other option I was considering was excavator clay.

I don't have direct experience with bioactive, but I do know that Biodude knows his stuff. If you're on Facebook, I would recommend joining the group Reptile and Amphibian Bioactive Setups. They have really useful files that you can read and there are a lot of experienced people on there who can help with your concerns.

Thanks for the help. I have a bio active setup going for my crested gecko, Mr. Lizard, and he seems to be really enjoying it. I am hoping to provide something similar for Merlin when he gets big enough.

Hi, I am planning to do a setup that is similar to the biodude's substrate but at a much cheaper cost. I found that many people are mixing eco earth with play sand and excavator clay; that's what I'm going for. I will probably make a thread about my setup and what I'm doing, also I have found that Facebook group to be really helpful. Let me know how your project is coming along and we could collaborate
