Exo Terra Plantation Soil is made from compressed coconut husk fibre from the plantations of tropical Asia. This ecological substrate is ideal for increasing humidity in the terrarium and is totally safe for frogs, salamanders and burrowing or digging animals. The substrate can also be used as an incubation medium because of its hygroscopic properties. This 100% natural substrate can even be used as a nutritional planting soil for live plants in a terrarium set-up.

Lucky Reptile Coconut Bark Chips are coco chips pressed together to a brick. When placed in warm water the brick will swell up to about 5 litres of attractive coco chip substrate. This substrate is a very hygroscopic material, it absorbs water and raises humidity inside the terrarium. The Coconut Bark Chips maintains its attractive appearance and absorbing abilities for a long time. The coco chips are an excellent substrate for snakes, tropical lizards and large tortoises.

Lucky Reptile Coconut Bark Chips are a natural product (100% bio degradable) and free of chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers.

This attractive pine bark substrate has characteristics that make it excellent for use in terrariums. It absorbs humidity and binds waste inside the terrarium. In addition it covers bad odours

The mulitstep manufacturing process ensures uniform, fine grains and minimizes dust and dirt inside the substrate. The pine park has a slightly red coloring, rots only slowly and will not get mouldy in properly ventilated cages. Consequently it will keep its attractive appearance for a long time. Note that it is not made from French pine as most vivariums substrates that has high amounts of etherical oils but from German pine trees.

Eco Bark is excellent for reptiles from tropical regions and most snakes and tortoises.

The Lucky Reptile Humus Brick consist of natural coco humus which has been pressed to a tight brick. If placed in water, this humus brick will swell up to about 8-10 times its volume. The humus is excellent for burrowing animals and can be used either dry or humid. It is an excellent substrate for tarantulas and tortoises as well as tropical amphibians and reptiles.

Jungle Bedding is a special substrate mixture with sand which was specifically formulated for tropical terrariums. High quality materials and well considered formulation ensure a high structural stability and excellent water storage abillities. Even dried out substrate will quickly take up water again. The pH value (approx. 5.5 - 6.5) is simulating the leaf-humus layers of the tropical rainforest. Neither surfactants nor fertilizers have been added.

We recommend the use of Lucky Reptile Hydro Drain and Hydro Fleece as drainage layer below the Lucky Reptile Jungle Bedding, to prevent the substrate from getting swampy, a typical problem in tropical terrariums.

ProRep Orchid Bark Chips are used for all species that require a humid environment. Amphibians, forest or jungle living reptiles and invertebrates all thrive on this safe 100% natural poduct.

Directions: Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 2 inches (5cm).

Bark Chips can be moistened to provide extra humidity but avoid making them too wet or waterlogged. Spot-clean daily and completely replace every two or three weeks, or more frequently if it beomes heavily soiled.

If you are using an under-tank heatmat as your heat source do not use a thick layer of Bark Chips as this may cause the heatmat to overheat. Please refer to the heatmat manufacturer's instructions for more information.

A blended substrate to help create the ideal environment for Crested Geckos and other arboreal species.

The life substrates are specially blended from high quality ingredients to create a substrate that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of a particular species, or group of similar species.

For 'Crestie life' we have created an open, moisture retaining substrate with a slightly acidic pH. This holds moisture and releases it slowly, so helping to maintain high humidity, while the pH inhibits excessive bacteria growth. This type of substrate is ideal for Crested Geckos and other arboreal species that require high humidity. It also allows plants to be grown to create a natural environment.

Bio-Life is a mixture of high quality ingredients which are blended to produce a substrate with the ideal properties for growing plants in a jungle setting.

It will provide adequate nutrients while retaining an open structure to promote healthy root growth and provide a habitat for woodlice, springtails, bacteria and fungi. Bio-active substrates are not designed to be used and replaced in the traditional manner, but rather be allowed to develop into a living ecosystem where waste materials are naturally broken down. They are spot cleaned if necessary and can be partially changed, but complete changes are to be discouraged as they destroy the developing populations of microorganisms.

Zoo Meds Repti Bark is made from the bark of fir trees. The perfect substrate for humidity loving reptiles due to its ability to absorb moisture and then release it into the terrarium. In addition, the smaller chips provide better moisture retention while preventing live food from hiding in your substrate. Naturally decorative, Repti Bark provides your terrarium with that tropical rainforest look. Repti Bark is washable and re-useable.
