TropicalBase Vivarium Substrate, Bioactive Ready for Your Tropical Snake Habitat, Gecko and Frog Paludarium, Planted Terrarium, Lizard Enclosure or Tarantula Tank. (8 Quart)
🌱 Bioactive-Ready Substrate - TropicalBase is specifically designed for bioactive terrariums, creating the perfect foundation for springtails, isopods, and beneficial microbes to thrive. The inclusion of ReptiChar biochar, sphagnum moss, and organic components helps establish a balanced ecosystem where waste naturally breaks down. Ideal for dart frog vivariums, gecko tanks, and other reptile habitats, this substrate supports long-term enclosure health with minimal maintenance.
💧 Superior Humidity Balance - With its unique blend of New Zeeland sphagnum moss, ReptiChip coconut, and orchid bark, TropicalBase holds water where it’s needed while preventing soggy or compacted substrate. This makes it an excellent choice for reptiles and amphibians that depend on consistent tropical humidity, such as tree frogs, crested geckos, and hermit crabs. Unlike traditional coco fiber alone, TropicalBase keeps moisture levels steady and reliable for a healthier environment.
🪴 Supports Live Plant Growth - Designed with short strand coconut fiber, orchid bark, and micro coconut husk chips, TropicalBase provides aeration and strong root stability for live plants. Its organic components gradually break down, delivering the natural matter plants and mosses need to flourish in terrariums. Whether you’re planting tropical ferns, vines, or carpeting moss, this mix gives your planted reptile enclosure a thriving, long-lasting foundation.
♻️ All-Natural & Chemical-Free - TropicalBase is crafted entirely from all-natural, renewable materials with no chemicals, dyes, or artificial additives. This makes it completely safe for sensitive species including reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and clean-up crews in bioactive terrarium setups. By using sustainable ingredients like coconut husk and sphagnum moss, it provides a natural, eco-friendly choice for reptile keepers.
📦 Ready to Use with a Quick Mix - TropicalBase is carefully layered in the bag to preserve the integrity of its natural ingredients, and only requires a quick mix by hand before use. Once blended, it’s immediately bioactive ready, supporting plants, microfauna, and tropical pets without extra preparation. Trusted by reptile and amphibian keepers for geckos, snakes, frogs, and tarantulas, it makes setting up naturalistic habitats simple and reliable.
