Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

Jungle Mix is composed of two complementary natural materials: sphagnum moss, which is well known for its exceptional moisture absorption and retention properties, and fir shavings, which add texture, structure, and a naturalistic forest floor feel. Together they create a substrate that holds humidity effectively while remaining soft and workable for reptiles that dig, burrow, or nest. The 100% natural composition means no synthetic additives or artificial scents.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Add Jungle Mix to your terrarium to a recommended depth of 1 to 2 inches. Adjust depth as needed based on the species housed and their burrowing or nesting habits. This substrate is best suited for tropical and forest habitat setups where elevated humidity is a priority. It is ideal for frogs, rainforest geckos, toads, and snakes.

Care and Maintenance

Remove animal waste and soiled bedding daily to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Replace bedding monthly or as needed depending on the number of animals housed and overall enclosure conditions. Add to terrarium and landscape as desired.
