Good Substrate

Fast shipping and packaged well. Good substrate for my corn snakes. Don’t add too much water when making it. It requires a little patience and there’s a learning

Fast shipping and packaged well. Good substrate for my corn snakes. Don’t add too much water when making it. It requires a little patience and there’s a learning curve to making the perfect substrate that isn’t too dry or wet. Definitely like this substrate a lot.

A great buy.

I use them for making a moss pole mixed. In the past it works like a charm! My climbing pothos love them. They grow happy and healthy. Make sure you keep them moist

It’s good

It’s a good bang for your buck, only hard thing is waiting for it to soak the water up so it’s easier to break apart

Good price/value for hermit crab habitat

This is a good substrate for a “crabitat.” It helps hold moisture and contributes to humidity. It’s easy for the crabs to dig into and hide. It is messy to work

This is a good substrate for a “crabitat.” It helps hold moisture and contributes to humidity. It’s easy for the crabs to dig into and hide. It is messy to work with and one has to watch for surface mold growth. I really would like the brick to come scored, so it could easily be cut into smaller pieces for hydration.

Pythons love it!!

I have 8 Balled Pythons that I have to clean, and this bedding is excellent. Keeps my tanks humid enough for good sheds, yet keeps the smell from wet bedding down
