What makes the Repti Planet Cork Background special
Unlike many other terrarium backgrounds made of styrofoam or plastic, this product is made from a natural, renewable raw material: coconut fiber. The surface is rough and bark-like, which is not only visually appealing but also protects the animals' claws and provides them with grip. The background can be used in humid environments without swelling or molding – a decisive advantage over wood or cardboard backgrounds.
