Format

📦 Jar of Montmorillonite clay powder (rich in calcium)

⚖️ Weight: 5 oz (approximately 140g)

💎 Quality: Ultra-fine, 100% pure, and highly bioavailable

🏷️ Professional packaging with La Swamp label and integrated barcode

Highlights

✅ Skin care for amphibians — Ideal for creating mineral texture zones that protect the sensitive skin of frogs and facilitate trace element absorption.

✅ Rich in Calcium & Trace Elements — Provides over 50 essential minerals vital for the calcification of invertebrate shells.

✅ Unique Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) — Absorbs, stores, and redistributes nutrients and water directly to plant roots, preventing soil leaching.

✅ Purifier and Detoxifier — Binds toxins, heavy metals, and organic impurities present in the environment to maintain a healthy enclosure.

✅ Breeding medium for microfauna — An excellent alternative or complement to traditional substrates to maximize springtail production.

Usage (Amphibians & Microfauna)

1️⃣ Baths and zones for Dendrobates: Sprinkle a thin layer of clay in a shallow dish or directly on a moist area of the terrarium (such as on moss or a breadfruit leaf). The dendrobates will gladly rub against it, helping to hydrate and detoxify their skin.

2️⃣ Springtail breeding: Mix clay with a little water to form a thick paste at the bottom of your breeding containers, or sprinkle it on their charcoal. Springtails love to feed and lay eggs there, which greatly boosts the reproduction rate of the colony.

3️⃣ Substrate amendment: Incorporate 1 to 2 tablespoons per liter of ABG-type substrate to enrich it long-term before planting.

Tips & Parameters

🐸 The Dendrobates spa treatment — Greatly helps frogs during tadpole metamorphosis and supports the general health of adults through cutaneous mineral absorption.

🍂 The secret of collector isopods — Essential for high-end species (notably Asian Cubaris like Rubber Ducky) that naturally live on very clay-rich and calcareous soils.

🌱 The paradise for rare plants — Stimulates root development and intensifies terrarium plant colors thanks to its natural iron and magnesium content.
