I've been wanting to remodel and turn his enclosure completely bioactive, especially now with it usually being too cold to take him outside. I have cultures of Powder Orange Isopods, Dwarf Purple Isopods and Springtails on the backburner right now but just wanted a second opinion on if adding them to help keep the enclosure clean is a good idea or would there be some risk to my sulcata's health or well-being?
Adding springtails and isopods to enclosure?

Yes - having springtails I've heard can help with waste management. Then you don't have to clean the substrate as often. Having a bioactive enclosure is really cool, so keep us updated!
I have the basic isopods- rolli pollis. They work great with my 2 year old leopard and 2.5 yr old Russian. I may ask for some zebra isopod for my birthday this summer they look cool
