Helixa Ground is a soft substrate for keepers of land snails who want a bedding that holds moisture without becoming waterlogged and that allows the animals to burrow. It is sold ready to use, so it can be placed in the enclosure without preparation.
Why it matters
- Holds moisture without causing standing water, which is the main concern when keeping land snails in a closed enclosure.
- Soft structure that allows snails to dig in, supporting a natural behaviour.
- Contains no fertilizers, salt or chemical additives, so nothing needs to be washed out before the snails are introduced.
- Supplied in sterile 1-litre packs, so each pack stays sealed until it is needed and only the amount required is opened.
Specifications
- Total volume: 15 litres
- Packaging: 15 separate sterile packs of 1 litre each
- Additives: none (no fertilizers, salt or chemical additives)
- Condition: ready to use
What it works with
The substrate is recommended for Achatina fulica, Achatina immaculata, Achatina reticulata, Archachatina marginata, Limicolaria flammea and Lissachatina iredalei. It is also suitable for educational or legal Helix pomatia keeping; this species is protected and must not be collected from the wild for a home enclosure.
