2×2 Bio-Active Stand

The Bio-Active Stand is a combination of a stand, drainage tray and a substrate tray.

The Stand: The stand raises your cage 30″ up, putting the cage at a comfortable level for you to maintain and the top perching branch high enough up to provide a sense of security for a cautious chameleon.

The Drainage Tray: Your cage sits on top of the tray with the bottom having a drain that will empty the cage water into a common bucket (not included). The Bio-Active Stand comes standard with the drain cut out and the draina that you can easily install. The tray is tested to be watertight (other than the drain!)

The Substrate Tray: The tray has raised sides allowing the option of 4 3/4″ of soil substrate. Soil is optional and can be added any time in the future. (With active drainage, a drainage layer is not necessary.)

The Bio-Active Stand is a Crosscutt’s product manufactured in the USA by James Cross of the DIY Chameleon Guys show.

Add-on Accessories may be added to the package at the time of ordering.

Caster Shelf: Adds a bottom shelf and casters (wheels) that allows you to easily move the entire cage assembly even when filled with soil.If you were on the edge as to whether you should get wheels or not, I would say if you are using the stand for soil, this is a great addition. If I put soil in anything, I make sure it has wheels on it!

Dragon Ledges Hydration Bundle: Includes a set of 24″ Dragon Ledges, 2*Hydration Mounts, and 1*Fogger input. This accessory allows you to mount mist king value misting nozzles (or equivalent) and the fogger input will accept the common 22mm fogger hose and Exo_terra fogger hose. The Dragon Ledges allow you to mount branches and potted plants up along the side of your screen enclosure. These are specifically designed for ZooMed ReptiBreeze XL enclosures or other cage with 24″ wide sides and a back panel that is 23.5″ wide.

Feeder Run Cup: This cup allows you to contain feeder insects, but stills gives them a chance to climb and attract the chameleon’s attention. These are Naymar’s Lizard Alley Feeder Run Cups with top lid and drain holes. Mounting hardware allows attaching the feeder run cup to vertical branches, horizontal branches, or the Dragon Ledges.

Guide for Your Cage:

If you have a Dragon Strand Tall Screen or Tall Hybrid, your cage already comes with everything in the Dragon Ledges Hydration Bundle. Select whether you want the Feeder Run Cup and/or the Caster Shelf. If you are putting substrate in the Bio-Active Stand I highly recommend the Caster Shelf for mobility. Soil is heavy!

If you have a ZooMed Reptibreeze XL then consider adding the 24in Dragon Ledges Hydration Bundle as this gives you the ability to mount branches and plants to the side of your screen cage, provides a mounting for two Mist King  value misters (or equivalent), and  provides a convenient fogger input that is compatible with the standard 22mm hoses and the Exo_Terra fogger.   The Caster Shelf should be considered if you would like to be able to move your cage around easily. I put casters on everything so this accessory was important to me to be able to offer!. And, the Feeder Run Cup allows you to contain insects and have some sort of control over where they are.
