Desert / Arid Bioactive Setup

Recommended local flora and fauna for recreating Frog-eyed Gecko's natural habitat in a bio-active enclosure.

Cleanup Crew (Fauna)

Substrate Mix

60% playsand, 30% organic topsoil, 10% excavator clay. Top with rocks and dry bark.

Setup Notes

Keep substrate mostly dry with a humid microclimate under a rock or in a burrow. Provide deep substrate (4-6 in) for burrowing. Ensure excellent drainage and a warm basking spot.

๐ŸŒฑ Why Bioactive?

Bio-active enclosures use living plants and microfauna to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. The cleanup crew breaks down waste, eliminates odors, and enriches the soil โ€” reducing maintenance while providing a naturalistic, enriching environment for your Frog-eyed Gecko.
