Exo Terra Bio-Drainage Terrarium Fabric Mat

Exo Terra Bio-Drainage Terrarium Fabric Mat – The basis for a clean, stable Bioactive terrarium

The Exo Terra Bio-Drainage Terrarium Mesh Mat is the ideal basis for a functioning Bioactive terrarium. Measuring 90 × 45 cm, it fits into many standard terrarium sizes and reliably separates the drainage layer from the upper decorative substrate. As a result, both areas remain clearly separated from each other and the entire system is much more stable. The mat prevents humus, sand or leaves from getting into the lower water layer. The terrarium water therefore remains clean and can be used by pumps, waterfalls or sprinkler systems without any problems.

The drainage substrate under the mat has an important biological function. It collects excess water, creates buffer zones and ensures a stable microclimate. At the same time, it creates a natural filter area that breaks down organic matter. The terrarium mesh mat enables this process because it allows water to pass downwards but keeps the upper substrates in place. This keeps the terrarium hygienic for longer and the animals benefit from more even humidity levels.

The mat is made of a rot-resistant material that remains stable even with constant humidity. It is therefore suitable for rainforest terrariums, paludariums and any setup that is regularly humidified. A big advantage is its flexibility. You can easily cut the mat to size with standard scissors and adapt it exactly to the shape of your terrarium. This gives you a clean fit without wrinkles or open areas, and the drainage layer remains completely closed everywhere.

The mat also makes it easier to maintain the terrarium. The substrate becomes less compacted, mold forms less frequently and the humidity is distributed more harmoniously throughout the tank. Both plants and animals benefit from the stable soil structure. With this mat, a Bioactive terrarium remains functional for much longer because the substrate does not get mixed up and the water in the lower section remains clean.

The Exo Terra Bio-Drainage Terrarium Mesh Mat is a simple, robust and durable solution that will noticeably enhance your terrarium. It creates order in the soil, supports biological processes and helps you to create a permanently healthy terrarium climate.
