Terrarium substrate Forest Bark

Substrates in natural terrariums have many functions and are not just for decorative purposes. They play an important role in determining the microclimate in the terrarium. Burrowing and hiding reptiles and amphibians have different needs than species that live in trees, whereas desert animals prefer yet another type of substrate. Thermal conductivity is important when using a substrate heater such as the Heat Wave, and the absorption capacity contributes to the overall humidity. Exo Terra has developed a range of substrates for natural dry, humid and aquaterrariums, all made from natural materials.

Substrate made from 100% natural Douglas fir bark. It binds moisture, absorbs easily and releases moisture. The substrate is perfect for reptiles that love moisture. Controls humidity. Stimulates natural burrowing and hiding behaviour. Absorbs waste. It is also decorative.
