Description
Exo Terra substrates are dust-free and heat treated in our state-of-the-art European manufacturing facility. The Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is a 100% natural, biodegradable terrarium substrate made from a mixture of maritime pine & Peat moss is made from sustainable cultivation. The Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is the ideal, decorative substrate in naturally planted terrariums for moisture-loving reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates from tropical forests. The substrate for rainforest terrariums regulates the moisture in the terrarium in a natural way: it absorbs and then slowly releases the moisture again. Hygroscopic properties are maximized by adding natural peat moss to the mix. Adequate humidity levels support molting and help prevent respiratory infection. The unique size and shape of the bark particles in combination with the natural peat moss enable frequent watering of the plants and ensure healthy root growth with good aeration in the substrate. Exo Terra Rain Forest is heat treated to avoid bacterial contamination.
Instructions for use:
Spread a 5-10 cm thick layer of bark on the terrarium floor. Moisten the substrate as needed to achieve the required moisture level and use an Exo Terra hygrometer to check. To increase the humidity in well-ventilated terrariums or in terrariums where very high humidity is required, a substrate heater should be installed under the terrarium. Remove heavily soiled substrate selectively every day. Replace the substrate completely as needed.
