'M' alder grove substrate

This 4-litre pack of alder wood substrate is intended for terrarium keepers who need a natural, chemical-free base layer. Its medium-sized chips (about 0.5–1.0 cm) give the floor a natural look and suit a range of reptile and amphibian setups.

Why it matters

• Its porous structure takes up moisture and odours, which helps keep the enclosure fresher and cleaner.
• The manufacturer states that it has a positive effect on egg-laying.
• It imitates a natural habitat floor and can be used as decoration as well as a functional layer.

What it works with

Spread a layer of a few centimetres evenly across the bottom of the terrarium. The substrate can be mixed with other natural substrates, so it can be combined with what is already in your setup. It belongs to the wood chip and shaving category, so it fits enclosures where a loose, natural wood bedding is wanted.
