What is Live Oak Leaf Litter?
Live oak leaf litter consists of naturally fallen leaves from Texas Live Oak trees (Quercus virginiana). These leaves are an essential component of bioactive terrarium substrates, providing both aesthetic value and functional benefits for your pets.
Unlike generic oak leaves, Texas Live Oak leaves are particularly thick and waxy, making them more durable and slower to decompose than other leaf varieties. This makes them ideal for long-term use in terrariums and vivariums.
Live oak leaf litter serves multiple purposes:
- Provides hiding spots and security for reptiles and amphibians
- Creates a natural food source for cleanup crews (isopods and springtails)
- Helps maintain proper humidity levels
- Adds essential nutrients to the soil as it breaks down
- Mimics the natural forest floor environment
