In nature, animals don't rely on plastic – their paws are built to grip rough surfaces like tree bark, rocks, and uneven ground. The same should apply in a terrarium; otherwise, they may feel uneasy. Natural cork flats mimic their natural surroundings, featuring an uneven surface that lets geckos move as they would in the wild. This is their real environment—not a smooth plastic floor that feels completely unnatural.

Let’s be real – plastic decorations in a terrarium never look truly natural. Cork pieces, with their uneven shapes, organic grain, and textured surfaces, bring an authentic touch of the wild. Unlike artificial, uniform materials, cork accessories ensure a completely safe habitat. Only pure nature, nothing artificial.
#1 A NATURAL HOME FOR YOUR PET
For geckos that love to climb, natural cork is an ideal choice. Its rugged surface mirrors tree bark and rocky terrain, offering a secure hold and a sense of stability. Unlike smooth plastic decorations, cork won’t cause slipping.
Reptiles are naturally drawn to hiding spots—it’s an instinct that helps them feel safe. In a terrarium, your gecko won’t wander anxiously searching for shelter. They’ll quickly find a snug hideout between cork pieces.
#2 AN ECO-FRIENDLY TERRARIUM
Harvesting natural cork doesn’t require cutting down trees—the bark naturally regenerates, allowing cork oaks to absorb even more CO₂. The more cork accessories are used in terrariums, the better it is for the planet!
For you, natural cork is a stylish addition, but for your pets, it’s much more than that—a familiar, textured surface that supports their natural movements. It replicates tree bark, is completely biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. Choosing natural cork means creating a habitat that mirrors nature while opting for a sustainable alternative to synthetic decorations.
#3 NO PLASTIC, NO CHEMICALS – TOTAL SAFETY
Reptiles use their tongues to explore their surroundings—it’s their way of understanding their habitat. If your terrarium contains plastic elements, you can’t be certain what they might ingest. Plastic can gradually shed microplastics and other harmful substances, especially under warm and humid conditions. These materials don’t exist in their natural environment.
With cork, you know your pet’s space is free from chemicals. It’s a 100% natural material, with no varnishes, dyes, or toxins.
