Josh’s Frogs DESERT BioBedding Bioactive Substrate (4 quarts)
Highlights:
Desert BioBedding is the perfect substrate for your desert or arid bioactive encolsure. It’s ideal for leopard geckos, fat tail geckos, bearded dragons, many monitor species, and many other herps and inverts. This substrate is a unique blend of ingredients designed to jump-start the bioactive environment. It helps to maintain a low level of humidity, yet retains moisture in a way to easily provide humid hides and support a community of cleaner invertebrates and beneficial organisms.
- 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:
For semi-arid species, such as leopard or fat tail geckos, place 1 inch of Desert BioBedding on the floor if your enclosure. Add a small amount of dechlorinated or R/O water until the bottom inch of the substrate sticks together when squeezed, but no water runs out. Then, add another 2-3 inches of dry Desert BioBedding on top. More can be used to facilitate digging in burrowing species. This substrate does not require a drainage layer. Instead, add water underneath a humid hide every 1-2 months, as needed, to keep the bottom layer moist. Over time, the top layer will develop a crust due to the mist/dry cycle. Mist very lightly every day, ensuring to mist the substrate under the hide directly.
For full sand/high desert species, apply a 1-2 inch layer of Desert BioBedding to the bottom of your enclosure. Add water so that the substrate sticks together when squeezed, but does not leak water. Create 4 inch tall mounds with the damp substrate where humid hides and plants will be, then fill the space between with sand.
Do not place a heating pad on the bottom of the tank with this substrate.
4 quart bag measures ~9″L x 2″W x 13″H
Recommended Animals:Â
- Bearded dragons
- Leopard geckos
- Fat-Tail geckos
- Semi-Arid Monitor
Suitable for Misted Setups:Â Yes- make sure to mist lightly in the evening. This will result in the top of the substrate developing a mild ‘crust’, much like in nature. Mist the base of any plants and humid hides directly. Substrate under humid hides and the bottom 1 inch of the enclosure substrate should remain moist.
Care: Desert BioBedding is a naturalistic vivarium substrate and is meant to house a bioactive clean up crew! Stir the surface of Desert BioBedding every 1-2 weeks with a fork, or if waste is visible. Burying waste allows microfauna to process it quicker. Change the substrate when it begins to break down – typically after several years. Please note that Desert BioBedding is designed to grow fungi – this is not a sign of a dirty tank, but of a healthy, clean bioactive environment.

Josh’s Frogs Substrate Barrier (24×18 inch)
Highlights:
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.
