ProRep Spider Life Substrate

ProRep Spider Life Substrate is a species-specific substrate blend developed for spiders and scorpions from humid environments, including dedicated burrowing species. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, it delivers the structure and moisture retention these animals need without compromise.

Formulated for Humid Habitat Species

This substrate is part of ProRep's species-specific Life range, designed around the husbandry requirements of spiders and scorpions that originate from humid habitats. The blend balances structural integrity with moisture retention, supporting the enclosure conditions these animals depend on.

Supports Natural Behaviour

Spider Life actively encourages digging and burrowing behaviour rather than simply lining the floor of the enclosure. For burrowing species in particular, a deeper substrate layer allows them to construct and maintain burrows properly — a key part of their natural behavioural repertoire that a surface-only setup cannot provide.

How to Use

• Spread evenly across the enclosure floor to an appropriate depth for the species being kept
• Most species do well with 2.5–5cm depth; confirmed burrowing species typically require 5–10cm to burrow correctly
• Keep the substrate evenly moist throughout — avoid waterlogging
• Spot-clean regularly to remove soiled areas
• Replace the substrate completely every 2–3 months, or sooner if condition warrants it

Available in multiple bag sizes, Spider Life suits everything from a compact arboreal setup to a larger terrestrial enclosure housing a species that demands significant burrowing depth. Choose the size that matches your enclosure volume and intended substrate depth.
