Setup and Compatibility Guidance
This cork tile is designed to fit Zoo Med's Naturalistic Terrarium series. Simply place the panel against the back wall of the enclosure. For larger enclosures, combine multiple panels to achieve full background coverage. The cork can be cut to size using a utility knife or scissors for custom terrarium builds.
