EarthMix-Arid uses the same organic mixture as ‘EarthMix original’ but has added organic volcanic rock to increase drainage and bio-available mineral content.

Arcadia Reptile EarthPro EarthMix-Arid can help greatly to supply some of the core minerals that reptiles assimilate in the wild through feeding and digging (geophagy), will support tunnel making when suitably hydrated, can be used in egg laying sites and can help enrichment via the natural movement of the body (natural resistance to the feet and legs via movement).

EarthMix Arid is the only choice for those keepers that wish to keep their animals ‘Bio-Actively’ and/or naturalistically.

Key Details

30% Volcanic rock dust

Arcadia Reptile EarthMix Arid includes 30% volcanic lava dust which has been added to the mix to not only aid with good drainage but to provide a higher mineral content as a full spectrum, ‘wild re-created’ substrate for animals from the more arid areas of the world, thus providing a considered option for those desert, or more arid species.

Safe To Use

EarthMix-Arid is a clean, safe to use, mineral-rich, well draining Bio-Active ready, naturalistic substrate which, unlike some substrates available on the market, has no non-natural particles that could lead to impaction. Having the correct mix ‘ratios’ between ‘Mineral’ and ‘Organics’ helps to support the vital custodian species used in Bio-Active systems.

Supports Custodians

Arcadia Reptile EarthPro-EarthMix-Arid is full of Goodness, this means that custodians can be added in from day one and will start to thrive. If you want to further support your custodians, you can use Arcadia Reptile EarthPro-CustodianFuel, our all-natural small batch custodian food.

Adaptable Humidity

Arcadia Reptile EarthPro-EarthMix-Arid original can be sprayed down regularly for those species requiring a little higher humidity, or you can just limit your misting to one area for species that come from drier environments, as this will create a small area of humidity should your reptile choose.

Suitable For Most Arid Species

This Arid version of our popular substrate can be used in arid terrain for species like Bearded Dragons, Uromastyx lizards, horned lizards, Steppe’s runners and many more – perfect for those drier enclosures.

Sustains Plant Growth

If it is Bio-Activity that you want, sustaining natural plant growth, then EarthMix Arid will be sure to delight. Live plants are highly beneficial within our enclosures, they help to maintain humid spots for our animals to self-regulate and custodians to hide away, they create natural enrichment opportunities, provide shelter and climbable surfaces. EarthMix Arid allows the sustained growth of live arid plants that require well-draining soil, whilst the plants themselves help to improve overall drainage and keep your soil, the microbiome and custodians healthy.
