Lugarti Bioactive Reptile Soil - Tropical

Transform your tropical vivarium into a self-sustaining ecosystem with Lugarti’s Bioactive Reptile Soil - Tropical. Expertly formulated for rainforest species like crested geckos, day geckos, dart frogs, and tree frogs, this nutrient-rich substrate creates a vibrant, living foundation that naturally breaks down organic waste and supports thriving plant growth.

Packed with beneficial microbes and mycorrhizal fungi, this soil works in harmony with leaf litter and bioactive clean-up crews (such as isopods and springtails). Together, they establish a self-cleaning microhabitat that processes waste, mold, and uneaten food—keeping your vivarium smelling fresh and clean naturally. Beyond ecosystem health, this natural surface encourages wild, natural behaviors: foraging species will root through the soil, burrowing species will dig, and females will often prefer laying their eggs directly into the substrate over traditional lay boxes!
