Provides you with the Earth Habitat to create and shape real environments.It works well with ReptiPlanet's CREATIVE SUBSTRATES to create great terrarium setups.
The completely natural terrarium substrates REPTI PLANET Natural Habitat EARTH imitate the real conditions in the steppes, grasslands, semi-deserts and mountainous regions of our planet. Based on the previous knowledge of our various expeditions in search of reptiles and amphibians around the world, we have taken inspiration from the real environment, creating a unique mixture of sand, pebbles and clay that mimics the habitat in which these reptiles and amphibians live wildly.
Few reptiles live on pure substrates, so the use of EARTH optimally supports the natural behavior of digging burrows, hiding places and laying eggs.
We only need to moisten the substrate and then we can immediately start forming a landscape inspired by its original natural environment. Thanks to the enrichment with mineral substances, the excellent heat-conducting properties, the natural origin without the addition of colorants, as well as the support of natural instincts (digging, building), the Natural Habitat EARTH substrate is ideal for breeding many species of reptiles and amphibians in our terrariums.
