Hobby Terrano Forest Substrate 4L

Hobby Terrano Forest Substrate is a moisture-retaining pine sub-bark substrate that comes close to a natural forest floor. It suits forest-dwelling reptiles and amphibians and helps keep humidity steady. This pack contains 4 litres.

Who it suits and how much

This bark is meant for animals from forest and rainforest habitats that need a damp floor, rather than desert species that live on dry sand. The pine sub-bark keeps some of its natural essential oils, which help it resist mould in a humid enclosure. A 4-litre bag gives a layer about 3cm deep across a floor of roughly 40 x 30cm, so larger terrariums, or deeper layers for animals that like to dig, will need more; Hobby also packs the same substrate in 8 and 25 litre bags. Dampen the bark before adding your animals, and for a more natural look, cover patches of it with Hobby Terrano moss mats.

Good to know

Mist the substrate to keep it slightly damp, spot-clean droppings, and replace it regularly to keep the terrarium fresh.
