Which terrariums it suits

Terra is meant for semi-damp to damp terrariums rather than dry desert set-ups. Hobby names anoles (Anolis), grass lizards (Takydromus), Mantella frogs and Pandinus scorpions as typical users, alongside other forest and rainforest species. The soil settles and compacts slightly over time, so top it up now and then to keep the depth burrowers need. To work out how much to buy, multiply the floor length by the width by the depth you want in centimetres and divide by 1,000 to get litres, then round up to whole 4 litre packs. Moisten it gradually rather than flooding it.

Good to know

Lay a deep enough layer for burrowing species, keep it slightly damp, and spot-clean regularly to keep the terrarium fresh.
