Appropriate substrate is an important part of any reptile, amphibian, or invertebrate enclosure. The right substrate enhances the function of a naturalistic terrarium, regulating humidity, cushioning the animal's body, and providing a digging/burrowing medium.

Exo Terra Rain Forest Substrate is a blend of sustainable-sourced, kiln-dried Maritime Pine bark and sphagnum moss. This combination of materials absorbs water and helps maintain higher humidity levels, while also providing a fluffy, well-aerated substrate for plant roots. Add water to the substrate for higher humidity, and let it dry out for lower humidity.

Because Exo Terra Rain Forest Substrate is kiln-dried, this substrate is perfectly safe for use with reptiles. This substrate is also heat-treated to reduce bacterial contamination.
