## Summary description

Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate in ochre color, supplied in a 10 kg bag for desert-style terrariums. Designed as a natural-looking substrate for reptiles and invertebrates from arid environments, it provides a stable base for digging and burrowing, supports heat retention, and is suitable for creating authentic desert landscapes in terraria and vivaria.

## Long description

Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate in ochre is a 10 kg bag of granular mineral substrate designed for desert-style terrariums and vivaria. Formulated to reproduce the appearance and basic properties of arid soil, this substrate provides a natural-looking ground cover for reptiles and invertebrates that originate from dry habitats. Its texture supports digging and burrowing behaviour while contributing to stable heat distribution at the terrarium floor.
Advantages
This substrate offers a consistent ochre colour and granular composition that helps create an authentic desert landscape without the need for mixing multiple materials. The mineral-based formulation is dimensionally stable and resists compaction, enabling animals to dig and maintain tunnels. It aids in heat retention at the surface level and is suitable for use under heat mats or radiant heat sources when installed according to safe husbandry practices.
Suitable for
Desert and xeric terrariums for reptiles such as bearded dragons, uromastyx and leopard geckos
Enclosures for desert-adapted invertebrates and arthropods
Creating realistic arid landscapes, basking areas and digging zones
Key specifications
Net weight: 10 kg
Colour: ochre
Texture: granular mineral substrate suitable for burrowing
Intended habitat: desert / arid environments
Physical properties: stable under moderate humidity, resists compaction
How to use
Prepare the terrarium by removing old substrate and cleaning the enclosure. Spread the Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate as an even layer, adjusting depth according to species requirements—shallow for species that do not burrow deeply, deeper for species that dig or create tunnels. Combine with landscape features such as rocks and hides to create basking zones and shelter. Ensure all decor and fixtures are secure. Do not introduce substrate that is wet or excessively dusty; allow adequate ventilation during initial placement and remove excess dust by gently tapping the bag before opening.
Usage recommendations
Monitor animal behaviour and enclosure humidity regularly. For species requiring higher humidity or substrate moisture, use this product with caution and only when consistent with species husbandry. Replace substrate periodically to maintain hygiene and inspect for signs of soiling, parasites, or mould. Use under heat sources according to the heat source manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
