Lucky Reptile Hydro Fleece 100x50cm

The Lucky Reptile Hydro Fleece is a separation layer designed for bioactive and naturalistic vivarium builds, sitting between your drainage layer and substrate above. At 100x50cm, it provides generous coverage for a range of terrarium footprints and can be cut cleanly to fit any shape.

What It Does

The fleece acts as a physical barrier between your substrate and drainage layer, allowing water to pass through freely while stopping soil, humus, and other fine particles from migrating downward and clogging the drainage medium. This keeps the drainage layer functional over the long term and helps maintain the conditions that make a bioactive setup work.

Why Fleece Over Mesh

Nets and meshes are effective against coarser materials but allow fine particles like humus through over time. The Hydro Fleece's non-woven construction stops both coarse and fine substrate components, making it a more reliable choice for naturalistic setups where organic material is present.

Practical Details

• Sized at 100x50cm — suitable for larger terrariums or multiple smaller builds from one sheet
• Can be cut to any shape or size without fraying or losing structure
• Multiple pieces can be overlapped to cover larger floor areas seamlessly
• Does not rot, remaining stable in humid vivarium environments

For keepers building a proper bioactive or drainage-layer setup, the Hydro Fleece removes one of the most common long-term maintenance problems — a blocked or silted drainage layer — without complicating the build process.
