VCEPJH Reptile Soil Substrate, 3 L Forest-Floor Bedding for Burrowing

VCEPJH Reptile Soil Substrate is 3 L of forest-floor-style terrarium bedding designed to support digging and burrowing, with soil blended with twigs and fallen leaves.

• 3 L volume — supplies substrate for creating a naturalistic terrarium floor.
• Forest topsoil with natural elements — brings twigs and fallen leaves into the habitat mix.
• Moderately sized soil particles — provide a substrate for natural digging and burrowing behaviors.
• Moisture retention with gradual release — helps maintain terrarium humidity and limit excessive dryness.
• Spread directly without pre-soaking — makes the bedding straightforward to prepare for use.

Terrarium bedding can shape both the habitat and the ways an animal uses it. VCEPJH Reptile Soil Substrate is made for keepers creating a forest-floor-style enclosure where pets can dig, burrow, hide or breed. Its natural soil blend is also intended to help manage everyday waste and maintain moisture in the enclosure.
