Exo Terra Forest Moss – dried moss for the terrarium – 2 x 7 l

Exo Terra Forest Moss is natural, dried terrarium moss without chemical additives in the form of a pressed briquette. It comes from organic cultivation in Asia and is suitable both as a terrarium substrate for reptiles or amphibians, as a plant substrate and as a bedding for incubators or hiding places. Thanks to its very good absorption properties, it is ideal for the moulting period of animals and for rooting plants.

Substrates in bioactive terrariums play a key role in creating the microclimate of the terrarium by storing water and thus increasing humidity. The reproduction of humid rainforest conditions is crucial for the health and well-being of many reptile, amphibian or invertebrate species inhabiting tropical zones. The high absorbency of Exo Terra Tropical Substrates allows them to absorb excess water created by frequent terrarium sprinkling and release it slowly over the course of the day, providing optimal living conditions for your pet. High humidity is very important during the moulting process and also has beneficial effects on health, including respiratory health.

Exo Terra Tropical Substrates allow your pets to dig and burrow into them, giving them a sense of security and comfort. Because the substrates retain large amounts of water within them, animals can absorb it through their skin, thus minimising the risk of health-threatening dehydration. They are also ideal for species that bury their eggs in the substrate. The moist microclimate promotes the development of embryos inside the eggs and helps the hatching process.

Exo Terra Tropical Substrates products have been formulated to be as safe to use as possible, even with the most sensitive animal and plant species. They have been sieved to remove dust and debris and to round off sharp edges. The size and shape of the bark pieces give an ideal balance between high water absorption and air permeability. In Exo Terra’s substrate your plants will grow fast and healthy as never before. The loose, breathable structure supports the proliferation of nitrifying bacteria and micro-organisms that reduce decay and regulate mould in the terrarium.

Exo Terra Tropical Substrates are completely natural, non-toxic and can be composted in your backyard garden!
