Many people consider the choice of substrate to be simply aesthetic. However, the substrate has a greater effect than just decoration, and provides a microclimate environment that can affect the health of the inhabitants.

Although choosing the substrate is partially a matter of the owner’s personal preferences, it must also take into account the needs of the occupants. Burrowing species for example will prefer both a depth of substrate and a type that they can easily tunnel through. Some amphibians and reptiles will require a more humid substrate like Tropical Terrain to simulate rain forest conditions. This is an expandable natural coco soil substrate perfect for ‘tropical style’ vivaria. In many habitats the ideal solution may be to provide a selection of diverse substrates at different levels. This will provide a variety of environments as well as a more natural and visually attractive living space. Use a Spray Bottle to maintain the correct humidity in a rainforest habitat.
