15 Fresh English Lichen-Covered Twigs for Snails, Isopods & Millipedes
Natural enrichment for bioactive setups and invertebrate habitats
These real woodland twigs are covered in living lichens, carefully gathered after windfall from our traditionally managed woodland in Surrey. A mix of species such as Ash, Oak, Elder, and Hawthorn, these branches are chosen for their beautiful textures and their usefulness to bioactive and natural setups.
They provide climbing structure, shelter, natural texture, and a source of microflora interest for your invertebrates.
🌿 Perfect For:
– Snail tanks and isopod cultures
– Millipede enclosures
– Bioactive vivarium ground cover
– Terrarium decor with natural texture
– Adding authentic woodland feel to small pet habitats

⚠️ Please Note:
– These twigs are not sterilised to preserve the lichens
– Lichens prefer moderate humidity and low direct light
