The BioDudes handcrafted bioactive substrate for reptiles such as bearded dragons, uromastyx, leopard geckos, and other desert dwelling reptiles.This substrate is specifically designed for biomes that can get very dry and arid, but occasionally have minor humidity spikes. 5.

And if so how to go about this.

Jungle habitats are very easy to setup are very common now, but we’re often asked by leopard gecko and bearded dragon keepers about going bioactive in arid vivariums. It is recommended that the bearded dragon have a vet checkup with a fecal to rule out any parasites that the dragon may contain before being switched onto a Bioactive substrate. The substrate needs to be a soily/ sandy mix which will allow plants to root into it but also ensure drainage from the top. These humid burrows will keep your Dragon hydrated, and the loose soil keeps them active with digging opportunities (as nature intended).
