Features

• Add Litter To The Substrate --- When the pack of 100-pieces of dried 2 leaves by SunGrow is spread on the floor of the vivarium, see your beloved pets crawling and leaping over them. With the passage of time, it will crush the leaves providing you with a visual barrier and hide for the inhabitants. Once it breaks down, it will release elements that will prove to be highly beneficial for your overall reptiles development.
• Provides Thermal Cover For Hibernation & Estivation --- Reptiles have countless strategies to deal with the extreme climatic conditions. Leaf litter keeps the soil temperature consistent and shields your pet against cold and heat. Snakes, chameleons, bearded dragons, geckos, tortoises, and others are good diggers who can burrow deep into the soil to reach their leaf litter. See your pet making room for himself in the midst of the litter for spending and surviving the extreme conditions
• Improves Chances Of Reproduction --- If you want to create opportunities for a thriving habitat, you need to spread the SunGrow leaf litter in the terrarium setup. As they feed off the decaying litter, the leaves offer them a better and increased chance to reproduce. The breaking down of the leaves influences the pH of the soil thereby creating circumstances for breeding.
• Sustain Healthy Population Of Microfauna --- Microfauna such as isopods and springtails thrive over a period of time. The leaf litter attracts centipedes, beetles, millipedes, worms, spiders, and slugs that serve as their food source. Consequently, together, they help in keeping the vivarium clear. The breakdown of leaves also aids in plant growth.
• Keeps Their Scales Out Of Dirt --- As reptiles live in such an ambiance where dirt sticking is a very common occurrence, you need to take measures being their parents. This sticking of the dirt causes unnecessary stress and health issues in them. Adding a thick layer of leaf litter over the substrate will give them a lot of room and restrain themselves from getting muddy in the mud.
