About This Item

Details

  • This kit includes four quarts of ReptiSoil, a special blend of humus, peat moss, sand and carbon that create the perfect bioactive base to support plants, soil critters and beneficial microbes.
  • Also includes Terrarium Moss, an all natural North American sphagnum moss that prevents soil compaction and slowly releases moisture to help create a stable, high-humidity environment.
  • Lastly, Leaf Litter provides shelter and nutrients for your clean-up crew.
  • This kit helps you create a functional bioactive habitat where small invertebrates break down waste from your pet to make nutrients available for live plants to consume.
  • This incredible living network forms a balance that can help reduce the maintenance of your habitat while enhancing its look.

Is this good for a baby red-footed tortoise?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 10, 2025
Best to use Forest floor substrate. The bioactive substrate contains sphagnum moss and some tortoises may try to eat it.

No substrate mesh

This was a very small amount and really only includes soil. Very deceiving as a bioactive substrate “kit”.

Spider house

Found a tarantula in my yard, NW Louisiana. The Zoo Med kit had it all. Little bugger seems comfortable in the enclosure now.
