Josh’s Frogs Substrate Barrier is a vital layer in all successful naturalistic vivaria. Substrate Barrier fits between the false bottom and ABG Mix layers, and ensures that no ABG Mix falls down into the false bottom, disrupting water flow.

Josh’s Frogs Substrate Barrier also prevents a clogged false bottom and the wicking of water from the false bottom into the other naturalistic vivarium substrate layers.When these substrate layers become saturated, anaerobic bacteria grow, which create a smelly, very unhealthy environment. The only solution is to replace the affected naturalistic vivarium substrates with new ones. Josh’s Frogs Substrate Barrier is simple, inexpensive, and effective way to prevent this situation from happening.

Each peice of Josh’s Frogs Substrate Barrier measures approximately 18 x 24 inches.

Josh’s Frogs Tropical BioBedding Bioactive Substrate (10 quarts) is the perfect substrate for your tropical bioactive enclosure. Tropical Biobedding is a unique blend of organic and inorganic ingredients, trace elements, and beneficial fungi that serves to jump start the bioactive environment. Tropical Biobedding helps maintain humidity while providing a substrate your pets can dig and lay eggs in, all while helping to maintain healthy populations of microfauna.

• Tank stays cleaner due to bioactive cycle
• Less substrate changes, which is less stressful on your pet
• Closer to replicating your pet’s natural habitat
• More attractive than traditional substrates

How to Prep: Mix contents of bag thoroughly. Place a 2.5-3 inch layer of Tropical BioBedding in your enclosure. Add dechlorinated or R/O water until BioBedding sticks together when squeezed, but no water runs out.

Recommended Animals: We do not recommend using BioBedding with Dart Frogs or anything that requires high humidity and low ventilation.

Josh’s Frogs Vermiculite is an old standby of experienced reptile breeders. Vermiculite is considered by many to be the ultimate incubation media for many species of reptiles. Easy to use and inexpensive, Josh’s Frogs vermiculite allows you to properly incubate and hatch healthy, robust offspring.

• ULTIMATE INCUBATION MEDIA for snakes, lizards, tortoises, turtles and more! Perfect for professionals and beginners alike.
• DISCOURAGES FUNGAL GROWTH and supports a clean and sterile environment for the eggs
• RETAINS WATER and slowly releases it throughout incubation so that the eggs have the moisture they need to hatch
• LIVE PLANTS also love it in potting mixes as a natural conditioner, which helps the soil stay moist, yet light, so the roots aren’t smothered

Recommended Animals:

• Geckos
• Lizards
• Tortoises
• Turtles
• Iguanas
• Snakes

Care: Add clean, distilled or Reverse Osmosis water to the Vermiculite at a 1:1 ratio, but only make as much as you are going to use. Vermiculite does not store well damp.

Check for recommendations with the specific animal you’re working with. Never reuse Vermiculite.

Vermiculite is not recommended as a sole substrate for growing mushrooms, as it has a neutral pH and mushrooms need a more acidic pH.
