    Default Substraits?

    I got a question. I want to know if there are other substraits that wont stick to an amphibian and be okay to use for a toad terrarium? I'm using soil in one area---- but I wanna know what other substraits I can use for the other part so I can view their colors(they get muddy-ish when in dirt and when in water their colors show). Any suggestions?

    Orchid bark is dangerous if it's constantly saturated. Like if you use it for a drainage layer. So if you do use it, mist the sides of the tank, or any plants you have, instead of the bark directly.

    There was something called cypress mulch. Is this good as well?

    Or could I use soil but instead of them going directly into the soil---- I plant in there grass? Will grass grow well?

    I just want that " grassy" look. I do recall "chia". From chia pets? Will that grow? or how about a field of clovers?
