Bioactive Black Breasted Leaf Turtle Vivarium Build

This is how I made a bioactive enclosure for a baby captive bred Vietnamese Black Breasted Leaf Turtle. This incredible endangered turtle is very special to me. I wanted to create a habitat that mimics it’s natural environment.
I used an Exo Terra Wide Low 24x18x12” terrarium.
Plant List:
Golden Pothos
Peperomia Rubber Plant
Red Chinese Evergreen
Lighting:
Arcadia 8w Shade Dweller T5 UVB
No heating was used. These are forest floor dwelling species that thrive between 68-78F.
Drainage Layer is a mix of pumice and horticultural charcoal.
Bioactive Substrate Mix: Repti Soil (peat, carbon, sand), orchid bark, cypress mulch, crushed leaf litter, worm castings, spagnum moss, coco husk, coco fiber (do not over use coco fiber).

I’m really hoping to add one of these amazing creatures to my tiny collection. Likely my last herp if I can manage to find one one of the days. So adorable.
