The benefits of Arachnid Arid Substrate

This substrate is perfect for use in naturalistic and Bio-active terrariums, blended to replicate an arid arachnid's natural terrain. Offering a deep substrate layer for all arachnid species is essential, deep substrate enables your pet to behave as they would in the wild; creating deep burrows and thermoregulating effectively.

How to use Arachnid Arid Substrate

  1. Place the substrate into the enclosure. Ensure you provide the minimum recommended substrate depth recommended for your species.
  2. Many species will appreciate a ‘starter burrow’. Created easily by pressing an indent into the substrate using your hand, and covering with a hide or cork bark to create a cave effect.
  3. Spot clean regularly, removing waste and insect husks will help to minimise mould growth.
  4. Depending on the species, fully replace the substrate as desired.
