The roundest, most perfect gargoyle gecko I've seen all day. I fear that I may need one of these.

Some progress photos of the bioactive enclosure, specifically the substrate mix.

The mix includes...

Small amount if cocosoil (for volume, NOT recommended as the base!)

2 leaf litter bricks

A 30l bag of clean plain topsoil

4kg of sand

Charcoal

Sphagnum moss

Worm frass

The main bulk would be top stoil, followed by sand, cocosoil, leaf litter, moss, worm frass, then moss. This mix a well draining but nutritious soil that has pockets of humidity thanks to the cocosoil and moss. The charcoal keeps everything fresh.

As for bioactive custodians...

Small worms

Mini speckled isopods (First time using these so hopefully they do well)

Springtails

Made a new bioactive enclosure earlier, i hope everyone enjoys! Its for a leopard gecko 🦎

I'll post progress photos soon 😶

Meet loki, we have 2 ghost mantises (Phyllocrania paradoxa) both male.

Hes reaching the end of his lifepsan sadly, but we've really enjoyed his company, hes a very sweet guy (he started off angry at everything 😅)

This is an older photo but hes finally had his adult moult. His wings are beautiful 🥺😔

Let's hope little Odin (our baby ghost mantis) also has no problems reaching old age 🤞
