Zoomed Forest Floor 8.8L - Tropical substrate

Forest Floor Bedding is an all-natural cypress substrate recommended for terrariums for many species of snakes, lizards, land and mud turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders, spiders and other invertebrates. Great for live plants and egg incubation. Very beneficial substrate for many species of terrapins. However, turtles should be fed in a separate container as the animal may accidentally swallow the bedding while eating. Use: Pour the contents into the terrarium. For all species of frogs, salamanders and insects the layer of bedding should be 5-8 cm thick. For burrowing toads and spiders and for live plants 8-10cm. All tropical reptile and amphibian species require a minimum of 50% moisture. The bedding should be moistened periodically. You can use a ZooMed hygrometer to control the humidity level in the terrarium. The substrate should be changed at least every 6 months or if an unpleasant odour persists in the terrarium.
