Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 gHabistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g is a natural mulch made from shredded leaves for terrariums and bioactive setups. Ideal as a top layer over the substrate, to support the microclimate and as a hiding place and feeding area for cleaning crews. Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g is a natural terrarium mulch made from a carefully selected mixture of shredded leaves. It is ideal as a decorative and functional top layer over the substrate and makes the terrarium look more like a natural habitat. The mulch supports substrate health, the stability of the microclimate and the ecological balance within the terrarium.Leaf litter mulch is particularly suitable for bioactive terrariums. There, it provides food and hiding places for so-called ‘clean-up crews’ such as woodlice, beetles and millipedes. As these organisms break down the leaves, nutrients are returned to the soil, which helps to maintain a natural terrarium environment.The shredded leaves provide animals with additional structure, cover and enrichment. Many terrarium animals use layers of leaves for digging, hiding, exploring or foraging. HabiStat recommends using the mulch as a top layer over the substrate.Your benefits at a glanceNatural leaf litter mulch for terrariumsMade from shredded leavesIdeal for bioactive terrariumsSupports a natural ground systemHelps to maintain a valuable microclimate in the substrateProvides hiding places and structure for terrarium animalsSupports cleaning crews such as woodlice, beetles and millipedesCan encourage natural behaviours such as digging and foragingDecorative top layer over the substrateMakes the terrarium look more like a natural habitatVacuum-packedInstructions for useSpread the Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch as a loose top layer over the suitable terrarium substrate. In bioactive terrariums, the mulch can serve as a feeding and shelter area for cleaning crews. If required, it can be combined with additional leaf litter, mosses, pieces of bark or other natural decorations.Zoo Roco TipIn bioactive terrariums, a layer of leaf litter is almost indispensable: it protects the substrate, provides hiding places and supports woodlice and springtails in their work. The mulch looks particularly natural when combined with whole leaves, pieces of cork and roots.

The REPTI PLANET Natural Habitat CREATIVE terrarium substrates imitate real conditions of the steppe, semi-desert and arid regions of our planet. Based on our knowledge from previous Repti Planet expeditions observing reptiles and amphibians around the world, we have taken inspiration from their real environments to create a unique blend of sand and clay that allows us to recreate the natural habitat of these reptiles. All-natural formulation of clay and sandAvailable in two colors; red and yellowFor sculpting, molding and building For reptiles and amphibiansExcellent thermal propertiesWeight per bag 4 kgUse:After adding water (ratio 4:1), you can sculpt burrows, shelters, rods, resting places and anything else you can imagine. You can combine the moldable substrate with stones, roots and other natural materials. After drying, the landscape is solid and does not collapse. To create a realistic environment, we recommend combining with other Repti Planet substrates.
Make the base dense and let it dry. The drying time depends on the ambient temperature and the amount of substrate used. Do not put reptiles and amphibians in the terrarium until the substrate is completely dry (when it is solid). Combine the substrate with roots, stones, branches and other natural materials to create a realistic environment. The CREATIVE substrate stimulates natural behavior in digging burrows, sheltering and laying eggs. RP Natural Habitat CREATIVE substrate is ideal for rearing many species of reptiles and amphibians due to the mineral substances, excellent heat conduction properties, natural origin without dyes and support of natural instincts (burrowing, laying). .

Suitable for moss-covered backgrounds, scene construction and detailed accents
Can be used with pinpoint accuracy to visually enliven structures such as roots, cork or stones
Particularly practical in combination with Shroomroom MossBase as an adhesive base
10 g pack for targeted applications and small to medium-sized projectsA harmonious terrarium or paludarium thrives on transitions, textures and details that look like nature. This is exactly what Shroomroom MossMix is designed for: a dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern spores with which you can decoratively create mossy structures and greenery effects.
The mix is particularly suitable for scene construction - for example for mossy areas on back walls, branches, roots, cork or stones. Used correctly, MossMix brings more depth and naturalness to the layout and creates an authentic look without overloading the terrarium. For controlled work and better adhesion, we recommend using it on a suitable base, for example with Shroomroom MossBase, to fix the material to the desired substrate.Zoo Roco tip
For particularly natural results, work in zones: Use MossMix specifically where your hardscape offers suitable conditions. First model the substrate (e.g. with TropicalClay and MossBase) and then apply MossMix selectively instead of scattering it over a large area. This makes mossy transitions look more realistic and the overall look remains harmonious.

Lucky Reptile Tortoise Bedding 20 litres
Lucky Reptile’s Tortoise Bedding is a peat-based substrate for tortoises
Contents 20 litres
retains moisture
Does not mould
also suitable as a substrate for hibernation
Tortoises often like to retreat into hiding places and burrow into the ground to wait out periods of unfavourable weather. This is where uniform temperatures and slightly higher air and substrate humidity prevail. This special substrate was developed in collaboration with renowned tortoise breeders and zoological institutions so that tortoises can also pursue this natural behaviour in the terrarium.
Lucky Reptile Tortoise Bedding retains moisture, remains firm underfoot yet loose, and does not go mouldy. It is not only odourless but actively absorbs odours. Thanks to its soft, fibre-rich structure and the absence of sand, it is harmless if accidentally ingested and promotes healthy shell development in tortoises. This helps prevent dull, worn shells.
Thanks to its airy and loose structure, Tortoise Bedding insulates and cushions temperature fluctuations when the animals are buried. Added natural clay minerals ensure a constant substrate moisture level, which is why tortoises like to use it as an egg-laying substrate. For the same reasons, it is an excellent hibernation substrate - not only in outdoor terrariums! The pH value has been specially adjusted to the needs of tortoises and no fertilisers or other chemical additives have been added. It is therefore even suitable as a natural breeding substrate and can be composted without any problems.

Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is a 100% natural, biodegradable terrarium substrate consisting of a mixture of maritime pine & sphagnum moss sourced from sustainable cultivation. Exo Terra substrate for rainforest terrariums is the ideal decorative substrate in naturally planted terrariums for moisture-loving reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates from tropical forests. The substrate for rainforest terrariums regulates humidity in the terrarium in a natural way: it absorbs moisture and then slowly releases it again. The hygroscopic properties are maximised by adding natural sphagnum moss to the mixture. Appropriate humidity levels support shedding and help to prevent respiratory infection. The unique size and shape of the bark particles in combination with the natural sphagnum moss allow for frequent watering of the plants and ensure healthy root growth in the substrate with good aeration. Exo Terra Rain Forest is heat-treated to avoid bacterial contamination.
Instructions for use:Spread a 5–10 cm thick layer of the bark on the terrarium floor. Moisten the substrate as needed to achieve the required humidity level and use an Exo Terra hygrometer to monitor. To increase humidity in well-ventilated terrariums or in terrariums where very high humidity is required, a substrate heater should be placed under the terrarium. Remove heavily soiled substrate spot-wise daily. Replace the substrate completely as needed.
Corn snake
Probably the most popular snake kept in captivity with an exceptionally high number of breedings, which increase the colour spectrum.
Area of origin:
Widespread throughout the whole of the southern and eastern USA and in north-eastern Mexico. A few isolated populations are also found outside this area.The corn snake normally lives in woodland areas, overgrown plantations, roadsides and on rocky slopes or old masonry, but can also be found in farmland and cornfields. An excellent climber, but predominantly a ground dweller. The corn snake is diurnal in spring, but active only at dusk in summer.
Description:
The body is slender with a small distinct head. The colouration of these slender snakes varies greatly, from rust-brown through orange-red to quite brick-red, but usually between orange and grey with clearly marked brown to red spots on the flanks. The pupil is round. It usually has an oblique eye stripe up to the corners of the mouth and on the underside a slate-blue chequerboard pattern on a cream-coloured background. The scales are black keeled. It grows to 60 - 180 cm long.
Care:
The corn snake is a very popular animal in the terrarium as it is not only persistent but, with good care, easy to breed.Young corn snakes can be raised in a small tank . As the young snakes also grow large, it is advisable to buy a large terrarium straight away. As adults, corn snakes need a medium-sized terrarium of at least 120 cm length, 60 cm depth and 120 cm height (minimum size for 1 pair). However, the container must not have any gaps or leaks, as corn snakes are born escape artists!The substrate is made up of a mixture of sand and peat. The floor should be warmed by a heating mat. The decoration of the terrarium should consist of hiding places made of stones, pieces of bark or decorative cork, as well as branches and twigs for climbing. A water container is sufficient. Occasional direct sunlight. The day temperature should be between 22 and 28 degrees C, the night temperature can drop to 18 degrees C. If offspring are desired, a period of hibernation at temperatures of 5 - 12 degrees C should be carried out.The terrarium should be sprayed moderately with lukewarm water 2-3 times a week, somewhat more frequently before shedding.If well kept, they reach sexual maturity at 2-3 years and can easily live 12-15 years.
Food:
The corn snake eats strangled small mammals such as mice and young rats, birds, lizards and frogs.
Breeding:
If offspring are desired, hibernation (6-8 weeks) is required for corn snakes.After mating in spring (gestation period 40-60 days), 3 - 25 eggs glued together in a clutch are laid from May to July. The best thing to do is to fill a large container with peat as a place to lay eggs. After 8 - 10 weeks, young snakes 20 - 24 cm long hatch. After the first shedding, naked mice are accepted. The young can therefore be raised very easily.Before you decide on corn snakes you should definitely have read the relevant literature.For questions and problems our trained team at Zoo Roco is at your disposal. They can provide you with expert advice on all matters.
