## Summary description

Exo Terra Sub Stratum Bioactive Volcanic is a volcanic-based terrarium substrate designed for frogs and other amphibians. Supplied in a 2 kg package, it supports bioactive setups by promoting beneficial microfauna and aiding moisture retention and drainage. Suitable for creating naturalistic forest-floor or tropical environments and for use under live plants and leaf litter.

## Long description

Exo Terra Sub Stratum Bioactive Volcanic is a volcanic-based terrarium substrate formulated for frogs and other amphibians in bioactive vivaria. Supplied in a 2 kg package, the substrate provides a dark, loose base layer that encourages beneficial microfauna development while supporting natural moisture retention and drainage. It is intended for use as a foundation under live plants, leaf litter, and topsoil layers in forest-floor or tropical terrarium setups, helping to replicate natural substrate structure and promote healthy environmental cycling.
Advantages
The volcanic composition offers good porosity for aeration and water flow, reducing compacting while allowing excess water to drain away. Its texture supports colonization by springtails and other detritivores that assist in breaking down organic matter, contributing to a balanced bioactive system. The substrate retains sufficient moisture to maintain humidity levels suited to many frog species without becoming waterlogged when combined with appropriate drainage layers.
Suitable for
Frogs and other small amphibians in bioactive terrariums
Forest-floor and tropical vivarium setups
Bases under live plants, leaf litter and topsoil layers
Key specifications
Material: volcanic-based substrate with porous granules
Package weight: 2 kg
Texture: loose, well-draining, resistant to compaction
Function: supports moisture retention and aeration for bioactive systems
Color: dark, suitable for naturalistic terrarium aesthetics
How to use
Place a drainage layer (such as clay balls or a mesh separator) first if needed, then add Exo Terra Sub Stratum Bioactive Volcanic as a foundational layer approximately 3–6 cm deep depending on terrarium size and intended planting. Cover with a thinner layer of topsoil or mix with organic substrates where live plants and leaf litter will be placed. Introduce bioactive cleanup organisms after the substrate is settled. Monitor moisture and adjust watering to maintain appropriate humidity without saturating the substrate.
Usage recommendations
Rinse only if recommended by local guidelines; in most setups the substrate can be added dry and conditioned in situ. Combine with a suitable drainage layer and adjust layer depths according to enclosure dimensions and the ecological needs of the amphibian species housed. Replace or top up substrate material gradually to preserve established microfauna communities.
