Avocado Leaf Litter for Terrariums, Vivariums & AquariumsReptiscape Avocado Leaves are an excellent leaf litter that you can use in a terrarium, vivarium or aquarium. They also make a tasty treat for your isopods and springtails in a bioactive terrarium. Avocado leaves come from the Persea americana (Avocado Tree) which produces the popular avocado berry (yes it’s actually a berry) Leaf litter helps to provide a naturalistic appearance to a terrarium, they also provide hiding spots for small animals such as dart frogs, reptiles or invertebrates such as shrimp, tarantulas and hermit crabs. Leaf litter not only helps with providing a naturalistic appearance, the leaves also provide hiding spots for animals such as dart frogs and small reptiles. Even snakes will enjoy hiding under the leaves. Additionally, micro fauna like springtails and isopods will use the decomposing leaves as food. In the forest, the leaf litter may be several inches thick. Typically in a naturalistic or bioactive terrarium, you want to have the leaves at least a few layers deep and you should routinely add leaves as you see them decomposing. Each package contains 10 dried Avocado leaves. Each leaf is approx 4-6” (10-15cm)
