Key Details

Well Draining

Arcadia Reptile ‘EarthMix’ has been designed by experts to sustain long term ecosystems, when paired with a suitable drainage layer our addition of volcanic rock lessens the risk of stagnation within your systems. Whilst also providing naturally occurring minerals.

Safe To Use

EarthMix 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 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 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.

Supports natural body movement

EarthMix will support natural body movement, allowing the muscles our animals have evolved to use get the resistance they need to stay conditioned and healthy. Ensure you research your animal’s wild habitat to best replicate this within your décor, allowing areas to climb, burrow, swim and walk when appropriate to the species.

Sustains plant Growth

Live plants are highly beneficial within our enclosures, they help to maintain humidity, create natural enrichment opportunities, provide shelter and climbable surfaces. EarthMix allows the sustained growth of live plants whilst the plants themselves help to improve drainage and keep your soil, the microbiome and custodians healthy.
