Exo Terra Stone Desert SONORAN OCHER – desert substrate

Exo Terra Stone Desert SONORAN OCHER is an excellent imitation of the natural soil characteristic of dry desert, semi-desert and savannah areas found in various parts of the world. Just like in nature, this mixture contains not only sand, but also clay and fine gravel of different granulations and shades. Thanks to the diverse texture, you can recreate the natural habitat more accurately than ever. The texture and composition of the Stone Desert substrate allows you to form a variety of formations, and also gives you the opportunity to dig deep, cool burrows that give shelter to the animals. Many reptiles absorb moisture from their environment through their skin, so it is very important to give them the opportunity to stay in a moist, cooler environment. In contrast, warmer areas are created on the surface, especially under heat lamps or radiant heaters, ideal for basking.

Thanks to their thermal properties, various granulations and shape-able consistency, these substrate are an invaluable basis for a natural terrarium imitating the dry regions of the world. Not only are they extremely visually appealing, but they also help to replicate conditions in the natural environment, inducing natural, healthy behaviour in the animals and having a positive effect on their psycho-physical condition.

To create an attractive, varied landscape such as hills, walls, hollows or platforms, mix the Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate thoroughly with a small amount of water, form the desired shape and leave to dry. Once dry, the substrate will retain its shape without taking away the ability of reptiles to dig tunnels and burrow into it. Exo Terra Landscaping Substrate, with its clay-like consistency, can also be used to secure heavy decorative elements such as branches or rock formations. For an even more varied surface, add some Exo Terra Desert Sand to the surface.
