Forest Floor 8.8l – tropical substrate

Forest Floor is a natural cypress substrate for keepers of tropical terrariums. It suits a wide range of snakes, lizards, tortoises, aquatic and terrestrial turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders, spiders and other invertebrates, so one substrate can cover several enclosures with different inhabitants.

Why it matters

• Made from cypress, a fully natural material, so it contains no synthetic additives.
• Suitable for live plants and for incubating eggs, which broadens its use beyond the animals' living space.
• Recommended depth depends on the species: 5-8 cm for frogs, salamanders and insects, and 8-10 cm for burrowing toads, spiders and planted setups.
• Replace at least every 6 months, or sooner when an unpleasant smell persists in the terrarium.

What it works with

The substrate fits tropical terrariums with burrowing species, planted enclosures and egg incubation setups. Keep it slightly moist and check humidity with a Zoomed hygrometer, which the supplier recommends for monitoring. For turtles, feed in a separate container, because the animal may swallow substrate while eating.
