Terrarium Substrates

The terrarium substrate helps set up the habitat and manage humidity. Discover our coconut fiber substrates, suitable sand, wood chips, or specialized potting soils, according to JBL, HabiStat, and biOrb references.

Which substrate should you choose?

  • Desert environment: choose a substrate compatible with the species' behavior and husbandry recommendations.
  • Tropical environment: check the moisture retention capacity and compatibility with any plants.
  • Bioactive terrarium: control the composition, drainage, and needs of the decomposer organisms.
  • Safety: take into account the risks of ingestion, dust, and mold.

Available formats

The selection includes notably JBL TerraCoco, TerraWood, TerraSand, and HabiStat products. Do not assume that one substrate is suitable for all species: recommendations vary greatly.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same sand be used for all reptiles?

No. The choice of substrate depends on the needs and behaviors of the species.

Should coconut fiber be moistened?

Follow the product instructions and maintain the appropriate humidity for the type of terrarium.
