Humidity and a suitable substrate are important considerations when setting up a tropical or forest terrarium. Jungle Mix provides bedding for these environments, including enclosures where animals can dig or burrow and setups that include plants or beneficial microfauna.

Which animals and habitats is Zilla Jungle Mix suited to?

Zilla Jungle Mix is intended for tropical and forest terrariums housing frogs, rainforest geckos, toads, snakes and other suitable animals. Its soft, earthy bedding is made for these habitat types, rather than being presented as a substrate for every kind of enclosure.

• Use it in reptile enclosures or plant enclosures.

What is the substrate made from, and how does it work?

Zilla Jungle Mix combines aged Douglas fir bark with sphagnum peat moss in a 100% organic blend. The absorbent material retains moisture to help maintain enclosure humidity, while its loamy scent and soft feel provide a substrate for natural animal behaviors.

• Supports digging and burrowing.
• Provides a substrate for breeding, nesting and egg incubation behaviors.

How deep should the bedding be, and how do you maintain it?

Use a bedding depth of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm). Remove animal waste and soiled substrate daily, then replace the bedding monthly or as needed to maintain the enclosure.

• Soiled bedding can be removed and replaced as needed.
• Choose the depth within the recommended range to suit the enclosure setup.

Can Zilla Jungle Mix be used in a bioactive terrarium?

Yes, Zilla Jungle Mix is compatible with bioactive setups and supports live plants and beneficial microfauna. This makes it suitable for tropical or forest enclosures that combine substrate with plant life and microfauna.
