Terra Firma Substrate for Reptiles and Amphibians

Terra Firma is a unique substrate designed for temperate-dwelling pets, ideal for species from seasonal savannas, semiarid regions, coastal rainforests, and riverbanks. It is best used in tanks with a humidity range of 50-75%.

Features

Terra Firma is designed to replicate the silty soil that many reptile and amphibian species dig burrows and tunnels in their natural habitats. It encourages burrowing, which aids in shedding, respiration, and hydration. This substrate also supports a balanced ecosystem when paired with plants and clean-up crew, recycling waste and returning nutrients to the soil for a clean, thriving bioactive ecosystem.

Pros

• No need for a drainage layer, as most burrowing species would dig right past a substrate barrier and into the drainage layer
• Proper aeration and drainage for bioactive terrariums, preventing clogging and stagnation
• Holds all tunnels and burrows, making it ideal for species that dig and burrow
• Plants thrive in Terra Firma, accommodating a huge variety of plants from succulents to temperate/tropical plants

Cons

None noted, with an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 72 customer reviews.
