Desert Carpet Mat – terrarium mat, 50 x 20 cm

This bottom mat suits keepers of reptiles and amphibians who want a moisture-absorbing base layer under their substrate. It is intended for desert and tropical terrariums as well as paludariums, and it can be cut to the dimensions of the enclosure.

Why it matters

• Absorbs liquids: the mat is hygroscopic, so it takes up moisture and animal urine, which helps keep the enclosure clean and the humidity stable.
• Resists high temperatures: the manufacturer states it tolerates extremely high temperatures.
• Neutral and dust-free: it has a neutral pH, does not dust and does not crumble.
• Low impaction risk: unlike loose sand or coconut fibre, it cannot be swallowed in granules and block the digestive tract.

What it works with

The mat is designed for all reptile and amphibian species, both desert and tropical, and is not suitable for rodents.

It can be covered with any terrarium or aquarium substrate, such as bark or wood chips, to add an absorbent layer beneath it.
