Josh's Frogs Live Oak Leaf Litter -1 Gallon-

Josh's Frogs Live Oak Leaves (1 Gallon) are collected from a pesticide and herbicide free environment. Great as a sole leaf litter, one gallon of leaf litter will cover approximately 1.5 square feet to the desired depth of 1". Live Oak leaves look even better when mixed with either Sea Grape Leaves or Magnolia Leaves in a naturalistic vivarium. Leaf Litter performs a very important role in a naturalistic vivarium; it provides shelter, visual barriers, and hiding places for the vivarium inhabitants, such as poison dart frogs. It also breaks down just a bit faster than some other forms of leaf litter, and seems to lead to an increased abundance of isopods and springtails when used in a naturalistic vivarium. Mimicking the role of dead plant matter in the rainforest, Leaf Litter also put nutrients back into the environment, providing the stuff plants and microfauna need to thrive! Although our leaves are collected in a pesticide and herbicide free environment, many choose to further treat vivarium decor. Leaves can be baked to a temperature of 140 degrees F, eliminating potential harmful organisms. It is recommended that an oven safe container of water is in the stove with them to prevent ignition from being too dry
