Carpet Mat – terrarium substrate

Carpet Mat is a 45x45 cm natural fibre substrate base for keepers of desert, tropical and paludarium enclosures housing reptiles and amphibians. It serves as a bottom layer that absorbs moisture and urine, and it can be trimmed to the exact footprint of any terrarium.

Why it matters

• Moisture and urine absorption: the hygroscopic fibre soaks up urine and moisture, which keeps the enclosure cleaner and helps maintain humidity.
• Neutral and non-irritating: the material has a neutral pH, does not dust and does not crumble, so it does not cause skin irritation.
• No impaction risk: unlike sand or coconut fibre, the mat cannot be swallowed in loose particles that could block the digestive tract.
• Easy maintenance: heavily soiled areas can be rinsed under running water, and the mat does not need to be replaced.

What it works with

The mat fits Repti-Zoo terraria with a 45x45 cm base and can be cut to other sizes.

It is not intended for rodents.
