Bioactive Vivarium Academy exists to help people understand how bioactive vivariums actually work — not just how to copy a setup from a photo
.
This site is a UK-based educational platform focused on naturalistic enclosure design, long-term system health, and responsible animal care. It is designed for keepers who want to move beyond guesswork and build environments that are stable, functional, and appropriate for the species they keep.
Rather than focusing on products or trends, Bioactive Vivarium Academy teaches the principles behind bioactive systems: substrate layers, drainage, microfauna, plant selection, humidity control, and the biological processes that make these systems succeed or fail.
The Academy does not sell live animals and does not promote impulse keeping. Its goal is education first — so that better decisions are made long before an enclosure is built or an animal is introduced.
