Zoo Med Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate – 20 Pound

 

Zoo Med’s Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate is a specialized substrate designed for reptile terrariums. This substrate is made from natural clay and is intended to mimic the natural burrowing and digging behaviors that reptiles exhibit in their native habitats.

 

Key features of this product include:

Burrowing and Digging Simulation: The Excavator Clay Substrate is designed to allow reptiles, such as certain species of lizards and tortoises, to engage in natural digging and burrowing behaviors. This can provide enrichment and mental stimulation for your reptile pets.

Terrarium Landscape Creation: With this substrate, you can mold and shape it to create multi-level terraces, burrows, and tunnels within your reptile’s terrarium. This helps to create a more naturalistic and engaging environment for your pets.

Holds Shape: One notable feature of this substrate is its ability to hold its shape once molded. This means that the burrows and tunnels your reptiles create won’t collapse easily, allowing them to enjoy their burrowing structures for an extended period.

Natural Ingredients: The Excavator Clay Substrate is made from all-natural materials and doesn’t contain any added dyes, colors, or chemicals. This can be important for maintaining the health and well-being of your reptiles.

Habitat Enhancement: By using this substrate, you can create an environment that closely resembles your reptiles’ natural habitat. This can have positive effects on their behavior, stress levels, and overall quality of life.

 

When using this substrate, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper setup and maintenance. Keep in mind that different reptile species have varying habitat requirements, so it’s crucial to research the specific needs of your pets and ensure that the substrate is suitable for them.

 

Always monitor your reptiles while they’re interacting with the substrate to ensure their safety and well-being. If you’re unsure about whether this substrate is suitable for your reptile’s needs, consider consulting with a veterinarian or reptile expert for personalized advice.
