I see some people have it look like wet mud where mines not that wet. im worried about mold growing easily in my area and I heard something about pill bugs those hard shelled wood bugs doing something to help with that is this true? thanks
welcome to the forum bcreps!

water conditioner - you can use anything that says water conditioner, gold fish or betta fish or reptile doesn't matter as long as it can neutralize chlorine and heavy metals. currently i use prime ( fish section), cheap and lasts forewer. aquasafe is good too. you should use that water for all your reptiles as well as crickets, etc.

substrate - you need to use exo earth or plantation soil expanded with treated tap water, it should be wet but never mud like and re. false bottom, isopods, pill bugs - these are for dart frog guys and totally useless for big frogs, you need to change the substrate once a month. People who keep theirs in a mud are looking for a BIG problems sooner or later, i suggest you advise them to fix that for their frogs sake.
