Josh's Frog Desert BioBedding Bioactive Substrate - 4 Qt

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. How to Prep: MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE ADDING TO YOUR ENCLOSURE. 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 RO 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. 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.
