Exo Terra Stone Desert Bahariya Black -11 lb (5 kg)

Landscaping Substrate Natural desert soil, no added dyes or chemicals Ideal to create your own desert or savannah landscape Allows you to create outcrops, tunnels and burrows Stimulates natural digging and burrowing behaviour Does not collapse once dry Excellent heat conductor The Exo Terra Stone Desert mimics the natural soil found in arid regions, like deserts or savannahs. Most desert soils are not purely sand-based but rather a combination of sand, decomposed granite and clay resulting in interesting and sometimes colorful rock formations. Exo Terra’s Stone Desert allows you to create your own desert or savannah landscape, including cool-humid burrows as well as warmer elevated basking areas. The cool-humid burrows allow your reptiles to absorb the much-needed moisture via their skin while sleeping or hiding, while the warmer elevated basking areas help your reptiles to thermoregulate by offering various important temperature gradients.Lightly moisten the Stone Desert substrate to shape naturalistic hills, burrows and basking platforms for your animals. Once dry, the Stone Desert will retain its shape, while still allowing your reptiles to further execute their natural digging and burrowing behaviour. You can cover the complete floor space with landscaped Stone Desert, or create landscaped parts and fill up the remaining terrarium floor space with Exo Terra Stone Desert or Exo Terra Desert Sand. Stone Desert can also be used to secure heavy decor items, like branches or rock formations.
