The water area with the clay surround has also proven to hold strong so far and allows easy access for draining but also an area for the frogs to sit and potentially absorb minerals from the clay as was planned when making the substrate. The cyclanthes in particular have shown appreciation for the red clay soil with the dicranopy

I used previous captive research as well and with the help of a friend who is obsessed with soil we made a redart clay terrarium soil. Most of my research found a high red clay level for their natural environment so this is one of the main aspects we worked on. She made a kit that would allow ful
