BioRoot Mangrove XS / ~10cm / Mangrove Root for Terrarium and Aquarium

BioRoot Mangrove / Mangrove Root – Natural Terrarium and Aquarium Decoration Mangrove root is a classic in aquaria and terrariums. Heavy, massive, with irregular shapes and a natural texture, it has been the basis of many arrangements for years. Its dense structure means it doesn't float in the water, and its spreading forms are great for creating space in the terrarium. Ready to use: simply rinse to remove shipping/storage dust. Terrarium use Its high weight and stability make it an excellent base for arrangements in tropical and dry terrariums. The uneven surface facilitates planting with mosses, lichens, and epiphytes. It goes perfectly with cork tubes and cork sheets, creating a base for dense vegetation. Adapted to size and animals XS (~10 cm) - young tarantulas, jumping spiders, praying mantises. S (~20 cm) - tarantulas, scorpions, crabs, small lizards M (20–35 cm) – medium lizards (eublefars, smaller agamas), young snakes. L (40–50 cm) – adult agamas, geckos, snakes up to 120 cm long.
