Desert Terrarium Substrate * Natural Desert Sand, no added dyes or chemicals * Creates a natural and attractive desert environment * Excellent heat conductor * Stimulates natural digging and burrowing behaviour * Suitable as egg-laying substrate Desert Sand - Black Desert Sand - Yellow Desert Sand - Red Exo Terra's TerrariumSand is natural desert sand with no added dyes or chemicals. The sand has been sifted to remove impurities and to obtain a homogenous sand grain size. 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 terrarium's micro climate. Digging and burrowing reptiles have different needs than tree dwelling species, whereas desert animals prefer yet another type of substrate. Heat conductivity is important when a substrate heater is used and the absorption capacity will contribute to the humidity in the air.
