Natural Reptile Backgrounds

There are many choices when it comes to providing a background for your pet reptile.   Do you want to just put a poster on the back of the vivarium or terrarium to give the illusion of rock outcroppings or grasses?  You have the choice of using many different artificial reptile backgrounds.  These will give your pet reptile a place to climb, a more interesting look and depth and a place to install pumps or heaters if your reptile needs them.  This type of reptile background uses clay or other artificial substances.  However, if you are looking for a reptile background that gives you some flexibility why not choose one with a natural reptile background?

One that has been popular for sometime uses coco fibres as the reptile background material.  They are one hundred per cent natural and have no chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides in them.  The substance to hold the coco fibres together is natural rubber so it is safe for all reptiles.  This material can be cut to fit any vivarium, terrarium or aquarium.

Choosing your natural reptile background

The coco fibre natural reptile background makes great subsoil for plants that you may want to put into the enclosure.  Vines, tendril plants and Tillandsisas all have remarkable growing success on this type of background.  By using a background that can actually grow these plants your reptile will feel more at home as the environment will be real, not artificial.  The plants can envelop your reptile in an atmosphere that is practical and attractive.Another natural material that can be used as a reptile background is cork.  Pressed natural cork backgrounds have an additional layer of bark from the cork oak tree.  They make the vivarium, terrarium or aquarium more attractive and also provide another excellent climbing source for your pet reptile.  Because cork has a smooth back side it makes it easy to install in your pets enclosure.  Normally you won’t have to worry about mould with a natural cork reptile background.  This means that it can be used in tropical or desert type environments.

One of the lesser known natural reptile backgrounds is made from coconut bark.  This new enclosure background provides another climbing source for your pet reptile.  If you need to have humidity controlled then you will want to install the coconut bark natural reptile background.  This type of natural reptile background comes in several sizes so that you can get the optimum fit for your vivarium, terrarium and aquariums.
