Galapagos Terrarium Substrate Barrier 18x36”

An essential component for any successful bioactive terrarium, the Galapagos Terrarium Substrate Barrier is a must-have for creating a healthy and stable habitat. Made from a non-toxic, permeable mesh, this barrier is designed to separate your main substrate from the drainage layer, preventing soil from mixing with the water reservoir below and causing unhealthy conditions.

Product Details:

• Size: 18 x 36 inches

• Ingredients: Non-toxic mesh

• Suitable For: Bioactive terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums for all reptile and amphibian species.

Key Features of Galapagos Substrate Barrier:

• Creates a Healthy Habitat: This barrier acts as a vital layer between the substrate and a "false bottom" or drainage layer (such as HydroBalls or lava rock). By keeping the two layers separate, it prevents the substrate from becoming waterlogged and creating anaerobic bacteria.

• Optimal Water Flow: The permeable mesh allows excess water to pass through into the drainage layer, preventing root rot in live plants and maintaining a clean environment for your cleanup crew of isopods and springtails.

• Customizable Size: The 18x36" sheet can be easily cut or folded to fit the exact dimensions of your terrarium, making it a versatile solution for any enclosure size.

• Easy to Use: Simply place the barrier on top of your drainage layer, making sure the edges are snug to the sides of the enclosure. This ensures that the substrate stays in place and does not fall into the water reservoir.

• Aids in Drainage: In conjunction with a proper drainage layer, this product helps to maintain optimal humidity levels without risking the health of your plants or pets.

Build the foundation for a successful and long-lasting bioactive terrarium with the Galapagos Terrarium Substrate Barrier.
