The Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate mimics the natural soil found in arid regions, such as deserts or savannas. Most desert soils are not solely sand-based but are a mixture of sand, decomposed granite, and clay, leading to interesting and sometimes colorful rock formations. The Exo Terra Stone Desert substrate allows you to create your own desert or savanna landscape, including cool moist burrows as well as warmer elevated basking areas. The cool moist burrows allow your reptiles to absorb necessary moisture through their skin while sleeping or hiding, while the warmer elevated basking areas help your reptiles regulate their temperature by providing important thermal gradients.

Gently moisten the Stone Desert substrate to form hills, burrows, and natural basking platforms for your animals. Once dry, the Stone Desert substrate will retain its shape while still allowing your reptiles to perform natural digging and burrowing behavior. You can cover the entire ground area with the curated Stone Desert substrate, or create curated sections and fill the remaining ground space with Exo Terra Stone Desert materials or Exo Terra desert sand. Stone Desert can also be used to secure heavy decorative elements, such as branches or rock formations.
