In this episode I discuss some of the principles and methods behind naturalistic aka bioactive keeping as it relates to amphibian husbandry. I cover how and why husbandry progressed from sterile to naturalistic, how to effectively manage waste in a naturalistic enclosure through careful planning, the importance of moisture, drainage and ventilation, and what to expect from an effective cleanup crew.
