Create a natural and engaging habitat for your reptiles with this herp pottery. Mixing it with sand and humus will give the substrate greater stability so animals can build burrows just like they would in the wild. It’s ideal for building caves and tunnels within the terrarium environment.
This clay granulate substrate has an advantage over clay powder because it generates less dust when mixing. It can be used dry or dissolved in water, with the latter method resulting in a more uniform mixture. By adjusting the amount of herp pottery added, you can control the hardness of the resulting substrate, allowing for customisation to suit your reptile’s needs. It’s perfect for creating visually appealing and functional terrarium designs.
