Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate for Reptiles

Why you'll love it

Your reptiles will finally get to express their natural digging instincts with Zoo Med's Excavator Clay Substrate. This innovative clay formula lets you mold custom terraces and tunnels that actually hold their shape, so your scaly friends can burrow to their heart's content without everything collapsing.

Product Description

This isn't your average reptile substrate. The Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate is designed specifically for reptiles who love to dig, tunnel, and create underground hideaways. You can mold it into multi-level terraces, caves, and burrows while it's damp, then watch as it hardens to maintain those shapes. Once set, your reptiles can still dig through it and create their own tunnels that won't cave in. It's made from all-natural clay with no artificial dyes, colors, or chemicals added. The 10 lb (4.5 kg) bag provides plenty of substrate for most terrariums.
