Product Details:
Eco-friendly and sustainably harvested tropical bioactive substrate suitable for many species of reptiles and amphibians, including but not limited to: Pacman Frogs, Dart Frogs, Tree Frogs, Mantellas, Tropical Geckos, and Anoles. Along with a variety of plants, invertebrates, microfauna and several other tropical species. Providing no unnecessary ingredients, this substrate mix fixates on creating a balanced environment, providing excellent moisture retention and drainage while allowing easy burrowing!
Ingredients:
- Coco fiber provides moisture retention while allowing water to drain appropriately.
- Organic Leaf Compost which gives great nutrition to both plants and clean up crews consisting of isopods and springtails.
- Special OMRI sustainably harvested peat moss mixtured providing ammonia capturing properties, limiting the bacteria buildup in your enclosure.
(All ingredients are organic and there are no chemicals or pesticides added)
Sterilization:
All substrate is kept frozen in one of our freezers before purchase. This is to prevent pests and unwanted hitchhikers from contaminating the substrate. Freezing allows the substrate to retain all beneficial bacteria and microbial life without removing any nutrition for microfauna, unlike heat treating methods.
