Exo Terra Stone Desert Outback Red Substrate - Natural Sculpting Sand - 11 lb / 5 kg

Create a natural and enriching habitat for your reptile with the Exo Terra Stone Desert Outback Red substrate. This substrate mimics the soils found in arid regions like deserts and savannahs, providing a realistic environment for your pet.

Unlike pure sand, the Stone Desert Outback Red is a carefully crafted blend of sand, decomposed granite, and clay. This combination results in interesting, colorful rock-like formations that not only look great but also allow for natural digging and burrowing behavior. You can easily shape the slightly moistened substrate into naturalistic hills, burrows, and basking platforms. Once dry, it retains its shape, offering both visual appeal and functional terrain for your reptile.

The Exo Terra Stone Desert allows you to create cooler, humid burrows and warmer, elevated basking areas. This temperature gradient is essential for reptiles to thermoregulate, absorbing needed moisture in cooler areas and basking in warmer spots. This substrate is ideal for encouraging natural behaviors while contributing to the overall health and well-being of your reptile.
