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
