## Summary description

Exo Terra Sub Stratum Bioactive Volcanic Sub is a 4 kg terrarium substrate designed for frog enclosures and other amphibian habitats.

## Long description

Exo Terra Sub Stratum Bioactive Volcanic Sub is a 4 kg substrate formulated for frog enclosures and other amphibian terraria. Composed of volcanic-origin components, it is designed to support bioactive systems by promoting proper drainage and encouraging microfauna activity. The substrate holds structure while helping to maintain humidity levels appropriate for moist and tropical habitats, and it can be used as a base layer beneath planting media or as a finished naturalistic floor covering.
Advantages
The volcanic composition provides a lightweight, porous matrix that aids water distribution and aeration without compacting. Its texture supports burrowing and root anchoring for live plants, while promoting decomposition activity by beneficial microfauna in bioactive setups. The product is pre-washed for reduced dust and is supplied in a 4 kg pack suitable for small to medium enclosures.
Suitable for
 Frog terrariums and other amphibian habitats
 Bioactive vivaria as a drainage and microfauna-supporting layer
 Naturalistic planted terrarium floors and paludariums
Key specifications
 Weight: 4 kg
 Material type: volcanic-origin substrate
 Function: drainage, aeration, microfauna support
 Texture: porous, loose-grain
 Intended use: amphibian terraria, bioactive systems
How to use
Prepare the enclosure by placing a drainage layer if required by your setup, then spread Exo Terra Sub Stratum in an even layer or sculpted profile to create slopes and hide areas. For bioactive setups, add a layer of planting soil or leaf litter on top, introduce established microfauna (such as springtails and isopods) and arrange live plants. Moisten the substrate to the desired humidity level and monitor moisture regularly; the substrate supports moisture retention but should not remain waterlogged.
Usage recommendations
For best results in bioactive terraria, combine this volcanic sub with a coarse drainage substrate beneath and a nutrient-rich planting layer above. Rinse only if necessary, avoid compacting during installation, and maintain regular cleaning and microfauna replenishment to support ecological balance.
