Zoo Med Forest Floor is a premium substrate specifically designed to recreate the natural forest floor environment for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates kept in terrariums or vivariums. It is an ideal choice for species that thrive in a damp and humid habitat, such as forest-dwelling reptiles like geckos, snakes, or frogs.

The Forest Floor substrate is composed of a blend of natural materials, including cypress mulch, sphagnum moss, and coconut fiber. This unique combination mimics the forest floor found in tropical rain forests, providing a comfortable and realistic substrate for your pets.

One of the key features of Zoo Med Forest Floor is its excellent moisture retention capability. It can absorb and hold moisture, creating a humid microclimate within the terrarium. This helps to maintain the proper humidity levels required for the well-being and health of your reptiles or amphibians, as many forest-dwelling species need higher humidity to thrive.

The substrate also aids in maintaining a natural and visually appealing environment. It provides a soft and comfortable surface for animals to walk on, encouraging natural behaviors like burrowing or digging. The variation in texture and color within the substrate creates a realistic and aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the terrarium.

Zoo Med Forest Floor is also beneficial for the terrarium's overall ecosystem. It promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which contribute to the breakdown of waste and organic matter. This helps to maintain a healthy and balanced environment for your pets, mimicking the natural decomposition process that occurs in forest ecosystems.
