Description
Reptiscape Betel Husk Seed Pods are a unique addition to your naturalistic or bioactive terrarium decor.
The Betel Husk Seed Pods come from the Areca catechu (Areca palm or Betel palm) found all over the tropical pacific.
Using Betel Husk Seed Pods in a Terrarium
Add a splash of the jungle by spreading some seed pods on top of your leaf litter, to give your terrarium a more realistic, rainforest look.
In the rainforest, the leaf litter may be several inches thick with seed pods scattered all over. Typically in a naturalistic or bioactive terrarium, you want to have the leaves at least a few layers deep. You should routinely add more leaves and seed pods as you see them decomposing.
Isopods and Springtails will use the seed pods as shelter, and will eventually break them down. All part of a healthy bioactive terrarium ecosystem.
Their fibrous exterior will last a long time in an arid terrarium, but will slowly break down in a bioactive vivarium. Simply add more when they eventually decompose.
Each package contains 8 empty seed pod halves, and each pod is approximately 5-8 cm (2-3″)
Due to the nature of this product there will be natural variation in size and color of each pod.
