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:
- Bearded dragons
- Leopard geckos
- Fat-Tail geckos
- Semi-Arid Monitor
Suitable for Misted Setups: 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 Hydei Fruit Fly Media | 1.5 lbs / 1.35 Quarts (makes 10 fruit fly cultures)
Highlights:
Josh’s Frogs Hydei Fruit Fly Media is the best in the industry. Since 2004 we’ve produced over 80 TONS of fruit fly media! Each bag of Hydei Fruit Fly Media contains 5+ cups of fruit fly media. A bag of Hydei Fruit Fly Media makes 15 1/3 cup cultures or 10 1/2 cup cultures.
Retains Moisture
The #1 killer of fruit fly cultures is low humidity. Therefore, Josh’s Frogs Fruit Fly Media uses powdered potatoes rather than potato flakes. This not only allows for a more thorough mix of ingredients, but it also allows the media to hold more water. This keeps the media from drying out and prematurely killing the culture.
Great Smell
Josh’s Frogs Fruit Fly Media contains two natural anti-bacterial/anti-fungal ingredients. This eliminates the nasty smell of a bacteria/fungi infected culture. Many customers compare the smell of our cultures to freshly baked bread.
High Yields
Bacteria, Fungus, and Molds compete for nutrients with the fruit flies. Josh’s Frogs Fruit Fly Media fights these invaders so your fruit fly cultures produce not only more fruit flies, but healthier fruit flies. We have the best producing fruit fly media on the market, and have been constantly perfecting it since 2004. We approach fruit fly culturing from a scientific standpoint, and produce over 1200 32oz fruit fly cultures a week.
Packed with Vitamins and Color Enhancers
We believe that healthy fruit flies lead to healthy herps. Therefore, Josh’s Frogs Fruit Fly media is full of vitamins and color enhancers from natural sources.
Directions:
1. Pour ¾ cup of boiling RO Water/bottled water over ½ cup of media (don’t stir, just let it soak in! It may take a couple of days to absorb fully).
2. Add a handful of excelsior to the cup.
3. Cover the cup and wait for it to cool.
4. Add ~50 flies.
Cultures should be kept below 85 degrees and will start producing flies in 12-14 days. If the cultures seem to be drying out (or molding), spray with RO Water and use more water when making cultures. Josh’s Frogs recommends keeping the cultures in a plastic drawer system to prevent them from drying out. This media contains a mold inhibitor. Shake well before using.

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.
