Substrates in natural terrariums have many functions and are not only there for decoration purposes. They play a very important role in the determination of the terrariums micro climate. Digging and burrowing reptiles and amphibians have different needs than tree dwelling species, Whereas desert animals prefer yet another type of substrate. Heat conductivity is important when a substrate heater like the Heat Wave is used and the absorption capacity will contribute to the overall air humidity. Exo Terra developed a series of substrates for the dry, humid and aquatic terrarium, all made from natural materials.
