The Exo Terra Rain Forest is a 100% natural, biogradable reptile substrate mixture made from sustainable Maritime Pine & Sphagnum moss. Rain Forest terrarium substrate is the ideal decorative substrate to create natural planted terrarium set-ups for humidity-loving reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates from tropical rainforest environments. The Rain Forest substrate regulates the terrarium's humidity in a natural way by absorbing and slowly releasing moisture. Its hygroscopic properties is maximised by adding natural sphagnum moss to the mixture. Adequate air humidity levels aid in shedding and help prevent respiratory infections. The unique size and shape of the bark particles, in combination with natural sphagnum moss, allow frequent irrigation of your plants while still providing good aeration for healthy root growth. Exo Terra Rain Forest is heat-treated to reduce bacterial contamination.

ProRep A moisture retaining substrate suitable for many species of reptile, amphibian and invertebrate.
A 100% natural versatile bedding made from the fibrous husk of the coconut, all species of amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates that require a humid environment will thrive on this safe and sustainable substrate.
Once removed from the coconut the fibrous husk is screened and then prepared for use by grinding to the appropriate size. This slightly acidic substrate contains high antibacterial properties and has a high percentage of lignin which will resist rotting, even under wet conditions.
Directions: Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of 1-2? (2.5-5cm). Spot clean daily by removing soiled areas of substrate and replacing with fresh Coco Bedding. Coco Bedding can be used either on its own or as a mix with other substrates and can be used wet or dry. If extra humidity is required then moisten the Coco Bedding but avoid over wetting and making it waterlogged. As the Coco Bedding dries out it can be sprayed to maintain the required moisture level. The Coco Bedding should be replaced every two to three weeks or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled.
When using with a heat mat: If you are using a heat mat under a substrate or glass tank the substrate depth must be NO greater than 1cm and the thermostat sensor should be positioned on the mat. Always refer to the heat mat manufacturer?s instructions for instruction of use, failure to do so may result in the heat mat overheating.

The Exo Terra Equatorial Forest Floor is a multi layer substrate that allows you to recreate the forest floor as found in natural equatorial forests. The forest floor is one of the most distinctive features of the equatorial forest ecosystem. It usually consists of two major layers; The top layer mainly consisting of fresh leaf litter The base layer consists of rich organic matter - usually decomposed leaves & wood The top layer consists of sun dried decorative Ardisia leaves from a sustainable resource. With this decorative top layer you can actually create the soft floor covering found in natural equatorial forests. The Ardisia leaves provide a soft layer for animals to burrow and cover their secret hideout. Most reptiles and amphibians forage the forest floor in search of food and water. The top layer covers the actual substrate underneath to facilitate its moisture retention and prevent the soil from drying out.

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.

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.
