Lucky Reptile Hydro Drain
Hydro Drain is used as a drainage layer under the normal substrate, allowing water to seep through the substrate and be stored by the clay granules.
Used as a drainage layer under the normal substrate
Water can seep through the substrate and is stored by the clay granules.
Thanks to its water storage capabilities, Hydro Drain also increases humidity in the terrarium and is practical for supplying plants with sufficient groundwater.
suitable for use with underfloor heating systems
Hydro Drain is actually indispensable for tropical terrariums. It is a special clay substrate that is a very good water reservoir. Hydro Drain is used as a drainage layer under the normal substrate. Water can seep through the substrate and is stored by the clay granules. If the water absorption capacity of the clay is exceeded, the water can also easily remain on the terrarium floor. As long as the height of the drainage layer created with Hydro Drain is not exceeded, bogging of the normal substrate is prevented. Thanks to its water storage capabilities, Hydro Drain also increases humidity in the terrarium and is practical for supplying plants with sufficient groundwater. We recommend adding a layer of Hydro Drain at least 3 cm high to the terrarium and covering it with our special Hydro Fleece. The normal substrate such as terrarium humus or Jungle Bedding is then added on top. The Hydro Fleece prevents soil from seeping between the clay granules, while water can flow through without any problems. Hydro Drain is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems.

Use in the terrarium
The foliage can be applied over a large area as a cover layer and thus supports humidity regulation. At the same time, it provides retreats and food for invertebrates, which enrich the soil with valuable nutrients and thus promote plant growth. Ideal for use in bioactive terrariums with auxiliary fauna and natural planting.
Zoo Roco tip
For a particularly stable microclimate, we recommend regularly loosening the HabiStat Leaf Litter slightly and combining it with other natural materials such as moss or pieces of bark. This creates an even more varied soil structure, which reptiles and invertebrates particularly like to use.

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.

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.

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.

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.
