HerpHusk offers a natural blend of particle sizes, from larger chunks to finer pieces, creating a more realistic and varied substrate similar to a natural forest floor.

When dampened, the substrate holds moisture effectively, helping maintain stable humidity levels for tropical and humidity-dependent species. Its varied texture also encourages natural behaviours such as burrowing and exploration.

This substrate is highly versatile and can be used on its own or mixed with other substrates such as coir to create a richer, more naturalistic base layer for bioactive and planted vivariums.

Compressed bricks expand significantly when hydrated, making them a convenient and space-saving option for storage, while still producing a large volume of usable substrate.

Suitable for a wide range of species and enclosure types, HerpHusk is a popular choice for keepers looking to create naturalistic or bioactive-style environments.

Directions for Use:
Use straight from the bag or soak compressed blocks in water to expand before use. Spread evenly across the enclosure base and maintain appropriate moisture levels depending on your species. Spot clean regularly and replace as required.
