It’s not just substrates or habitat decor! Everything you put in your animal’s tank serves a purpose. Substrates, plants, floating ramps, basking rocks, backgrounds, vines, hides and even rocks allow your pet to live happy and healthy in an enclosure. We have a large assortment of habitat needs and decor for your pet’s enclosure.

 

Habitat Needs and Decor for Reptiles like Snakes and Lizards, Small Animals and Other Creatures

 

Reptiles, arachnids, insects and fish all have specific habitat setup needs so that they can not only survive, but thrive.  Substrates for example, are an important part of a correct habitat setup for reptiles and are the materials that go on the floor/bottom of an enclosure or tank.  Substrates include coconut husks, moss, bark, reptile carpet and sand.  You can even use slate tiles, paper towels or non-adhesive shelf liner for the bottom of an enclosure.  Hides are also important in a tank and serve as, you guessed it, a needed hiding place.  Many animals must have a quite place they can go to cool down, rest, sleep, and hide away from their humans.  Many animals use their hides as objects to climb on, like thick vines, rocks, floating platforms and basking platforms.

 

Driftwood, Stone and Mopani Wood Available in the Store

 

We have a HUGE selection of driftwood and mopani wood in all shapes and sizes in the store.  You’ll find such a great assortment of driftwood and mopani that you might not be able to make up your mind on which to buy!

Zoo Creatures Has Coconut Coir

Watch Our Coconut Coir Video

Coconut coir is a pH neutral, sustainable substrate material that works great for a wide variety of reptiles! 

Coconut coir is a repurposed waste product from the coconuts that are sold in supermarkets. Coconut coir is all of the material that’s found from the husk to the inner shell.  When this material is ground down, it creates a product almost like peat moss.  It’s highly absorbent and retains moisture, making it a great substrate/bedding for frogs, some geckos, chameleons and other moisture loving animals.

We sell compressed bricks of coconut coir here as an alternative to cypress mulch for a very reasonable price, a little goes a long way! 

Try it out with your reptiles, we love it. 🥥 🌴 ♻
