Transform your bioactive enclosure with Pro Rep Bio Life Leaf Litter Forest, the perfect addition to create a secure and natural environment for your snakes, lizards, frogs, salamanders, invertebrates, and tarantulas. Simply decorate the top layer of your substrate to replicate a natural forest setting. An essential component, the leaf litter replicates the ‘litter layer’ within your bioactive setup.
Benefits of Pro Rep Bio Life Leaf Litter Forest:
- Security: Offers a safe hiding layer for your reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and tarantulas.
- Moisture Control: Helps maintain atmospheric and substrate moisture/humidity levels.
- Thriving Ecosystem: Provides an environment where beneficial bacteria, fungi, and custodian insects like springtails and woodlice can thrive.
- Nutrient Cycle: Breaks down and provides essential nutrients to plant life.
- Clean-up Crew: Acts as a great food source for your clean-up crew, ensuring their health and activity.
Creating Your Litter Layer:
- Depth: Aim for a litter layer at least 3-4cm deep, though it can be deeper based on preference. Natural habitats can have layers 24-30cm deep.
- Application: Break up leaf litter in your hands and scatter the fine pieces on top of Pro Rep Bio Life Forest substrate to at least 1cm depth. Spray to keep the layer in place.
- Layering: Add a layer of unbroken leaf litter on top. The fine layer breaks down quicker, providing hiding places for custodians and preventing them from being eaten by terrestrial inhabitants like dart frogs. The unbroken layer offers cover for your animals.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Renewal: Add new leaf litter every 4-6 months or as needed.
- Start Early: Ideally, set up your litter layer 3-4 weeks before introducing your species, but it can be done with them already in the enclosure.
- Custodian Care: Feed your custodians with Pro Rep Springtail Food to keep them healthy.
