About this product

This one-quart bag of terrarium substrate is made from all-natural calcium carbonate and is sized for small desert enclosures. Zoo Med lists it for desert species of insects, for invertebrates, and for creatures that prefer dry, desert conditions. The bag holds 1 quart, which suits a small setup rather than a large tank.

Does this substrate suit your setup?

Check the animal first. The substrate is listed for desert species of insects and for invertebrates, and for creatures that prefer dry, desert environments. A species that needs a damp or tropical enclosure falls outside that description unless the substrate is mixed as described below.

What the calcium carbonate sand gives you

  • The substrate is calcium carbonate rather than a wood or coconut product.
  • Invertebrates are also covered by the stated use.
  • For creatures that prefer dry, desert conditions, the substrate is used on its own.
  • If you need more humidity, the manufacturer directs you to mix it with Creature Soil coconut fibre substrate.

How to use the substrate

Spread the calcium carbonate sand in the enclosure for desert insects, invertebrates or other creatures kept in dry conditions. When a setup needs increased humidity, mix it with Zoo Med Creature Soil coconut fibre substrate as the manufacturer directs. The bag holds 1 quart.
