Creatures® Creature Soil – natural substrate for terrariums
Creatures® Creature Soil is a safe, natural substrate for the species-appropriate design of terrariums and habitats for invertebrates. The special blend of sphagnum moss, soil, sand and carbon creates a natural environment and is ideal for various crawling creatures.
The substrate helps to increase humidity in the terrarium and encourages natural behaviours such as burrowing and hiding. This makes it particularly suitable for spiders, including tarantulas, insects and other invertebrates.
Creature Soil is also ideal for planted terrariums, as it provides a good base for live plants and contributes to the natural appearance of the habitat.

Lotus Pod Pack of 3 – tannin-rich natural decoration for blackwater aquariums and terrariumsThe Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 is an impressive, natural lotus seed pod for blackwater biotopes, shrimp aquariums and natural-looking aquascapes. With its distinctive shape and numerous cavities, it adds a striking accent to the aquarium whilst also providing small hiding places and grazing areas for shrimp and small fish.
The lotus pod gradually releases valuable tannins into the water. These can give the aquarium water a slight amber colour and help to create a natural blackwater environment.Particularly tropical fish species benefit from an environment that resembles their natural habitat.
The Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 is 100 % natural and chemical-free and is ideal for combining with Catappa leaves, alder cones or Cholla wood. This creates an authentic, natural arrangement for aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water.The Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 can also be used in a variety of ways in terrarium keeping. The natural pods provide ideal retreat and hiding places for isopods, small invertebrates and microfauna thanks to their numerous cavities. Particularly in natural-looking terrariums or bioactive setups, they support a varied environment whilst also serving as a decorative natural element.Advantages at a glanceNatural lotus seed pod for aquariums and terrariumsRich in tannins for blackwater setupsSupports a natural aquarium environmentProvides hiding places and grazing areas for shrimp and small fishDecorative, eye-catching structure100 % natural and chemical-freeIdeal for biotope and blackwater aquariumsCombines well with Catappa leaves or Cholla woodAlso suitable as a natural hiding place for isopods and small terrarium inhabitantsProduct detailsSize: approx. 9–12 cm (this is a natural product and may therefore differ from the image)Contents: 3 piecesMaterial: seed head of the lotus flower, Nelumbo nuciferaSuitable for: freshwater aquariums, blackwater biotopes, shrimp aquariums and terrariumsInstructions for use: Rinse briefly with clean water before placing in the tank. As the Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 may float at first, it is advisable to soak it for 1–2 days or weigh it down under a heavy object. Over time, the pods will sink and slowly release tannins into the water.Zoo Roco Tip: The Lotus Pods in a pack of 3 are particularly suitable for aquariums with shrimp, small characins, dwarf cichlids or other blackwater-loving species, or for isopods and other invertebrates. Check the water parameters regularly, as natural products can affect the pH value and water colour.

Natural Habitat Earth by Repti PlanetA natural mixture of sand, without added dyes and chemicals. Stimulates natural behavior (burrowing, digging) of amphibians and reptiles.ReptiPlanet Natural Habitat SAND terrarium substrates create real conditions found in the desert regions of our planet. Based on the findings of previous ReptiPlanet expeditions observing reptiles and amphibians around the world, ReptiPlanet drew inspiration from the real environment to develop a unique substrate blend. Thus, ReptiPlanet has managed to define a mixture that most closely matches the natural operations of these animals. The substrate Natural Habitat SAND stimulates natural behavior (hunting, protection from predators or temperature regulation) or when laying eggs. Natural Habitat SAND substrate is ideal for breeding many species of reptiles and amphibians in our terrariums. Thanks to the mineralized substances, excellent heat conduction properties, natural origin without the addition of dyes, the natural instincts (burying, laying eggs) are encouraged.

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).

The leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Area of origin:
Eublepharis macularius occurs in south-east Afghanistan, Pakistan and north-west India.
Habitat:
The leopard gecko is crepuscular and nocturnal and inhabits steppe-like areas in its native region, but can also be found at altitudes of up to 2100 m. It lives in natural and self-dug burrows, which it leaves at dusk to search for food.The leopard gecko is one of the most popular lizards, as it is a fairly undemanding pet.The various colour variations and its peaceful behaviour also contribute to its popularity.Juveniles show dark cross-bands on their backs, while adult specimens have the dot pattern that gives them their name. The basic colour is a delicate to rich yellow, on which numerous dark spots and dots can be seen. The belly is solid white. The eyes have movable lids and the limbs have strong claws but no adhesive pads on the toes. The leopard gecko can shed its tail if necessary, which then regrows as a so-called turnip tail.
Keeping:
Keeping a group of 1 - 3 animals requires a terrarium measuring 100x50x50cm.The floor is covered with sand that can be dug into so that the animals can also dig burrows. Sufficient hiding places are also required.A shallow water dish is a must, although the animals only rarely drink from it. The animals tend to lick water from stones and pieces of cork, which are sprayed once a day. Day temperatures between 26 - 28°C, which may drop to 20°C at night, allow the animals to thrive very well. A humidity of around 50 % can be very easily achieved by spraying in the evening.
Food:
Leopard geckos are not particularly fussy eaters. They eat all kinds of insects they can catch. It is of course important to ensure that there is always enough food of the right size for the animals in the enclosure. A young leopard gecko with a body length of around 12 cm eats an average of 6 medium-sized crickets, while an adult specimen consumes 4 - 5 large grasshoppers. As with all lizards, it is advisable to dust the feeder insects with calcium and sometimes with vitamins before feeding.Before you decide on leopard geckos, you should definitely have read a suitable specialist book.For any animal keeping the following applies: Children must be guided, supervised and monitored by their parents. Children must learn that an animal has its own needs and habits and respect that. Parents should be aware that they are the ones responsible for the animal.Our trained team at Zoo Roco is available for questions and problems. They can advise you professionally on all matters.
