SOILICO CaveSoil – Cave Substrate for Burrowing Animals – a high-quality, burrowable substrate for terrariums where stable caves, tunnels, and retreat zones are to be built. SOILICO CaveSoil is suitable for burrowing animals and ground-dwelling invertebrates with burrowing behavior – it is ideal especially for burrowing tarantulas. CaveSoil is also a sensible choice for burrowing scorpions and other species that actively use the substrate and create structured retreat areas.
What makes SOILICO CaveSoil special:
– Suitable for burrowing animals: useful for species that create stable caves and burrows in the substrate
– Especially ideal for burrowing tarantulas: suitable for fossorial setups with deeper, moldable substrate zones
– Moldable and dimensionally stable: suitable for areas where the substrate is specifically built up and compacted
– Designed for tunnels and retreat zones: practical for clearly defined, burrowable substrate areas in the terrarium
– Resealable zip closure: clean storage and easy portioning in everyday use
Typical applications:
– Substrate for burrowing tarantulas, burrowing scorpions, and other burrowing invertebrates
– Creation of stable caves, tunnels, and retreat zones in the terrarium
– As a partial zone or sub-layer in setups where an area needs to be more dimensionally stable and burrowable
Content:
– 3 L
Application:
For stable cave areas, SOILICO CaveSoil is placed in the desired zone, lightly moistened, and then compacted or shaped. Heavy decorations should always be placed securely and not just rest on loose substrate.
Which animals is SOILICO CaveSoil particularly suitable for? +
SOILICO CaveSoil is suitable for burrowing animals and ground-dwelling invertebrates with burrowing behavior. It is ideal especially for burrowing tarantulas. Burrowing scorpions and other species that create stable retreat areas in the substrate can also benefit from it.
What is SOILICO CaveSoil used for? +
SOILICO CaveSoil is used when stable caves, tunnels, and retreat zones are to be created in the substrate. It is particularly suitable for setups where a partial area is specifically designed to be burrowable and dimensionally stable.
How is stability created in the substrate? +
Stability is created by lightly moistening and compacting. This allows the desired zone to be specifically shaped and built up much more stably in everyday use than with purely loose substrate.
Can SOILICO CaveSoil be combined with other substrates? +
Yes. SOILICO CaveSoil is often used as a zone or sub-layer and can be combined with other substrates to cleanly separate different areas in the terrarium.
How is SOILICO CaveSoil best stored? +
It is best to store it dry and securely close the zip closure after use. This keeps SOILICO CaveSoil neatly stored and ready for use at any time.
