Substrate was really good for hermit crab named crabby patty. The only problem was anytime it would come in contact with her food. It would mold. I recommend a small mammal dish as their water bowl and a small dish has their food that shouldn’t take up too much space due to them being in a 10 gallon plus tank Overall I like it

Good substrate

I used this with my isopods. It’s soft enough that they can easily burrow. Holds moisture well.

Very affordable plant soil

Easy for planting live plants and great for mixing or sole use for bioactive substrate

good soil

the bags were bigger than i expected, and this is the cheapest place i have found them at. i ordered 6 of them, and they spread out quite nicely in my enclosure

Love this soil but makes a mess when shipped

I love this dirt for my hermit crabs and scorpions. It holds moisture nicely without molding. I just wish it was bagged separately from the other items I order

I love this dirt for my hermit crabs and scorpions. It holds moisture nicely without molding. I just wish it was bagged separately from the other items I order. Every time I order my other items are covered in loose soil that escaped from the bags and everything has to be wiped clean when unpacking my orders.

Perfect size for my jumping spider enclosures!

It's the perfect size if you only have a few spoods that need the for of their enclosure covered.
