Zoo Med Forrest Floor Bedding - All Natural Cypress Mulch

Zoo Med Forest Floor Bedding is crafted from 100% natural cypress mulch. It's an ideal terrarium substrate for forest - dwelling reptiles and amphibians. With its outstanding moisture - retaining ability, it effectively maintains a humid environment. This substrate consists of 100% natural cypress mulch, helps forest reptiles and amphibians stay in a proper humid setting, and is excellent for live plants and egg incubation. Not heat - treated, it quickly absorbs and holds moisture. The flat - lying bark stops live food insects like crickets from hiding. It's suitable for snakes, tropical tortoises, amphibians, tarantulas, terrariums with live plants, and egg incubation. It's proudly made in the USA.

Using this Zoo Med terrarium bedding is easy. First, clean the terrarium thoroughly. Then spread a layer of the cypress mulch evenly on the bottom. The recommended thickness is about 2 - 3 inches for most reptiles and amphibians. For egg incubation, make a small depression in the mulch and place the eggs gently. When it comes to maintenance, check the moisture level regularly. If it gets too dry, lightly mist the mulch with water. But be careful not to over - wet it. Replace the mulch every few months to keep the terrarium clean and hygienic. Also, keep an eye on the live food insects. If you notice they're still managing to hide, you can adjust the layer of mulch. And always make sure the terrarium is well - ventilated to avoid any mold growth.
