I second that motion. Bed a beast is also known as Coconut husk fiber, coco-fiber, Eco-Earth, coir, millennium coir fiber.. the list goes on. It is the ideal substrate for most every terrestrial amphibian species I have kept. And for the love of the frog gods, stay away from gravel!!!!! I don't care what anybody says, gravel *will kill* your pacman!!!
Stick to eco-earth, and you will have a healthy, long-lived horned frog.

T-rex "Forest Bed" I assume as well. :) Will pothos grow in coconut husk fiber, or will I need a pot of soil?

Pothos will do just fine in coco fiber :) Just keep it well watered (which the tank will be anyway), and give it some fluorescent light, and it will thrive! Before you know it, your horned frog will have a nice little pothos jungle. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, pothos and eco-earth are among an amphibian keeper's best friends. And yes, T-rex forest bed is the same thing. I knew I left one out :)
