Our BioActive Substrate isn't like anything you've seen before! 
Built on Ecology.
Backed by Experience.
Designed for Better Husbandry and Easier Animal Care.

 

Here at BioActive Supply, we believe a great enclosure should do more than look like your animal's native habitat. We believe your enclosure should function like nature too! 

BioActive Supply was founded by a former senior herp/invert Zookeeper with nearly two decades' worth of professional experience keeping and caring for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Using the knowledge accumulated throughout the years, BioActive Supply's mission is to make BioActive or zoo-like keeping simple, successful, and accessible for everyone. Every product we create is built using foundations from real ecology, practical husbandry, and education.

​Our signature BioActive Substrates are both ours and your enclosures' foundation! Our substrates are hand-blended in small batches using between 11 and 17 carefully selected natural ingredients; These ingredients are all selected to mimic your animals' native range in addition to supporting beneficial microorganisms, plant life, clean-up crews, moisture balance, and natural animal behaviors.

What makes our substrates stand out in the keeping world is just how easy it is to use them! There's no extra guesswork or additives; each of our substrates is complete and ready to pour and build.

Whether you're setting up your very first bioactive enclosure or maintaining a room full of reptiles, we're here to provide more than products. We're here to share our professional knowledge and tools to help both animals and keepers thrive!

If you're not sure where to start, please reach out via email, and we will be more than happy to assist and guide you!
