Leaf litter refers to a layer of dead leaves on the floor of the vivarium. Leaf litter provides visual barriers and places to hide for the vivarium inhabitants. Leaf litter also gradually breaks down, adding nutrients to the substrate, and sustaining healthy populations of microfauna, such as springtails and isopods, that not only provide a source of food for many vivarium inhabitants, but also aid in keeping the vivarium clean.
Leaf Litter performs a very important role in a naturalistic vivarium. It provides shelter, visual barriers, and hiding places for the vivariums inhabitants. Leaf litter mimics the role of dead plant matter in the forest.
This is the perfect substrate for isopod and springtails colonies providing cover and the perfect food for your colonies. Isopods and springtails thrive in such a surrounding. Since most reptiles are carnivores, they tend to eat the smaller animal species.
