## Summary description

Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate, 5 kg, red desert grain designed for use in terrariums and reptile habitats. Provides a natural-looking sandy/stone ground cover that supports burrowing and humidity control appropriate for desert-dwelling species. Ready to use as a base layer for enclosure landscaping, educational displays, and reptile or invertebrate housing.

## Long description

Exo Terra Stone Desert 5 kg is a red desert grain substrate formulated for use in terrariums and reptile habitats. This ready-to-use substrate provides a natural sandy and stony appearance while supporting digging and burrowing behaviour common to desert-dwelling reptiles and invertebrates. It can be applied as a surface layer or as part of a multi-layer substrate system to help stabilise terrain and contribute to controlled humidity levels in arid enclosures.
Advantages
The substrate offers consistent grain size and colour that creates a realistic red desert look without additional mixing. Its composition supports burrowing and allows for moderate moisture retention to aid in maintaining microclimates suitable for desert species. Being pre-prepared and easy to spread, it simplifies terrarium setup and landscaping for hobbyists, educators, and breeders.
Suitable for
 Desert and arid terrariums for reptiles such as bearded dragons, leopard geckos and other xeric species
 Invertebrate enclosures where digging behaviour is required
 Educational displays, dioramas and exhibit bases needing a realistic red desert ground cover
Key specifications
 Net weight: 5 kg
 Colour: red desert tone
 Texture: sandy/stone grain suitable for burrowing and surface stability
 Form: ready-to-use loose substrate
 Intended environment: desert/arid terrariums and similar enclosures
How to use
Spread the Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate evenly across the enclosure floor to the desired depth, typically 2–5 cm for surface coverage or deeper where burrowing is needed. For multi-layer systems, place a drainage layer and barrier layer beneath before adding the red desert grain as the top layer. Rake or shape the surface to create natural contours, slopes and hiding spots. Replace or top up substrate as needed to maintain cleanliness and appearance.
Usage recommendations
Ensure the substrate depth and moisture levels are appropriate for the species kept. Avoid excessive moisture for strictly xeric species; monitor humidity and provide dry basking areas and proper ventilation. Regular spot cleaning and partial substrate replacement will help maintain hygiene and enclosure health.
