Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Substrate Mesh - 12" x 12" NT-M12E

Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Substrate Mesh – 12" x 12" (NT-M12E)

Create a healthy foundation for your naturalistic or bioactive terrarium with the Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Substrate Mesh. This durable, non-toxic mesh is designed to separate your drainage layer from the substrate, allowing excess water to drain freely while preventing soil, moss, and other substrate materials from mixing with the drainage layer or clogging your filtration system.

Perfect for use over Zoo Med HydroBalls®, this mesh is an essential component when building bioactive terrariums, paludariums, or waterfall features. It helps maintain proper drainage and supports a cleaner, healthier environment for reptiles, amphibians, and live plants. Multiple pieces can be combined for larger enclosures.
