The Exo Terra Tropical Forest Floor is an ideal choice for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts seeking to replicate a natural rainforest ecosystem within their terrarium. This dual-layer substrate consists of a base of sustainable coconut husk fiber for drainage and a top layer of natural moss for moisture retention, making it perfect for burrowing species and live planted setups. While it excels at maintaining high humidity, users should monitor the bottom layer carefully to prevent excessive waterlogging in enclosures without adequate drainage.

The substrate is natural and chemical-free; however, it is always recommended to provide food on a dedicated feeding dish to prevent intentional ingestion.
No, this substrate is specifically designed for tropical species and retains moisture that can cause respiratory issues for arid-dwelling animals.
It is recommended to spot-clean daily and perform a complete substrate change every 3 to 6 months, depending on the number of animals and the enclosure size.
The Exo Terra Tropical Forest Floor is ready to use straight from the bag.
While the substrate itself is a medium to hold moisture, the inclusion of live plants and proper lighting will allow for a thriving, lush environment.
Ensure the enclosure has proper ventilation and remove any uneaten food or excessive waste immediately.
Reduce daily misting frequency and ensure the enclosure has a functional drainage layer or sufficient air circulation.
Increase the thickness of the top moss layer and ensure the humidity level of the room is not stripping moisture from the tank.
To prepare the enclosure, add the coconut husk fiber base to the bottom of the tank, ensuring a depth that accommodates your pet's size. Follow this by spreading an even layer of the natural moss across the top. For maintenance, lightly mist the enclosure daily to maintain the target humidity levels. If the substrate becomes too dry, it can be rehydrated with filtered water. Periodically check the base layer to ensure it is not waterlogged; if it becomes overly saturated, limit misting or improve terrarium ventilation to allow for evaporation.
