SOILICO CaveSoil – Cave Substrate for Burrowing Animals – a high-quality, diggable substrate for terrariums where stable caves, tunnels, and hiding places are to be created. SOILICO CaveSoil is suitable for burrowing animals and ground-dwelling invertebrates with burrowing behavior – it is especially ideal for burrowing tarantulas. CaveSoil is also a sensible choice for burrowing scorpions and other species that actively utilize 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
– Particularly ideal for burrowing tarantulas: suitable for fossorial terrarium 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, diggable soil areas in the terrarium
– Resealable zip-lock: 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-base in terrarium setups where an area needs to be more dimensionally stable and diggable
Content:
– 3 L
Application:
For stable cave areas, SOILICO CaveSoil is introduced into the desired zone, lightly moistened, and then compacted or shaped. Heavy decorations should always be placed securely and not just rest on loose substrate.
For a functional setup, the material can be easily combined with suitable isopods, food & minerals for invertebrates, and other accessories from furnishing, moss & cork.

For which animals is SOILICO CaveSoil particularly suitable?
SOILICO CaveSoil is suitable for burrowing animals and ground-dwelling invertebrates with burrowing behavior. It is especially ideal 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 terrarium setups where a specific area is designed to be diggable and dimensionally stable.
How does stability in the substrate occur?
Stability is achieved through light moistening and compaction. This allows the desired zone to be specifically shaped and built up much more securely 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-base 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 close the zip-lock cleanly after use. This way, SOILICO CaveSoil remains neatly stored and ready for use at any time.
