Many people consider the choice of substrate to be simply aesthetic.
However, the substrate has a greater effect than just decoration, and
provides a microclimate environment that can affect the health of the
inhabitants. Although choosing the substrate is partially a matter of
the owner’s personal preferences, it must also take into account the
needs of the occupants.
Burrowing species for example will prefer both a depth of substrate
and a type that they can easily tunnel through. Some amphibians and
reptiles will require a more humid substrate like Tropical Terrain
to simulate rain forest conditions.
This is an expandable natural substrate perfect for ‘tropical style’
vivaria.
Available in sizes:-

In many habitats the ideal solution may be to provide a selection of
diverse substrates at different levels. This will provide a variety
of environments as well as a more natural and visually attractive
living space.
