White dumpy info!!

I know the inconvenience of sphagnum moss drying out from my own leopard geckos; its great for their log hides when theyre shedding, but literally leave it more than a day and it will dry right out. It's a bit worse with leopard geckos as they're desert animals, and theyre kept at lower humidity and higher temperatures.

Pros generally do outweight the cons, as long as you're willing to continue misting the moss in consideration. However, moss retaining the toxicity of your Whites tree frog is less of an issue with desert gecko species as frogs have delicate skin used to 'breathe' and geckos do not have this physiological ability.


With regards to managing frog poop, luckily with mine - at the moment - they are all pooping well and solid, so it is easy to distinguish between poop and substrate tp remove from the terrarium, although with unwell frogs, I know how hard it is to remove waste without taking out big layer of normal substrate, especially with a fully planted terrarium.

Just with the way my tank is laid out, finding poop is like playing where's waldo, drives me nuts.

Leaf Liter works great for keeping some of the coco fiber off the frogs and my substrate doesn't dry out as fast since the lights not directly on the coco.

Eventually the frogs will learn to get under the leaves and get dirty but that why they have a tubby to wash up :-)

I also find my Whites poop on the leaves so its easy to clean up and wash up the leaves.

My substrate is the Zilla Jungle Mix and some Coco Fiber in random areas on top of the Jungle Mix. The Jungle mix retains moisture really well.
