This weekend, Syd, my 1cm OBT sling, arrived!
Thinking ahead 18months into the future with adult re-housing, I would like to create a bioactive setup for Syd. My bioactive knowledge is very limited, but these are my proposed thoughts,
I'm hoping to make a bioactive enclosure without a pernament light fitting if I can help it, but I do not know yet whether or not this is possible for an arid setup.
If any of you have a bioactive OBT setup, I'd love to know what you've done to help give me some ideas. Maybe we can turn this thread into a creative mood board of ideas rather than right or wrong? It may help many lazy Googlers/Bingers/DuckDuckers in the long-run.

- A mix of vermiculite, sand, clay and top soil as substrate.
- Some springtail for dumpster duties.
- Mini succulent plants (excl. cacti for obvious reasons).
- Maybe one or two air plants.
- Rose of Jericho (1 or 2).
- Twig litter.
- Mini granite rocks/stones (abundant in Angola from where OBTs can live).
- Cork Bark.
- A statuette of Durga/Kali because how awesome would her image look beside OBT webbing!?
