Is this bag enough for a 40-gallon terrarium? Would I have enough to make hides too? Can a leopard gecko go in the substrate while it's drying?
Answer by • Apr 03, 2020
Depending on the amount of tunnels wanted, two 10 pound bags of excavator clay may be suitable for a 40 gallon tank. it is recommended to set up your leopard gecko in a temporary tank until the excavator is completely dry. A heat lamp may be placed over the excavator to help it dry faster.
How would you remove this from a glass tank after it has hardened without damaging the glass?
Answer by • Jun 10, 2019
To change the shape of the substrate or remove it, remove all reptiles from your terrarium. Then mist the substrate with water to soften it enough to mold or remove.
Hey would this make a good medium to grow plants that like clay based soils
Answer by • Nov 21, 2021
This substrate is not recommended for use to grow plants within.
How long for it to dry?
Answer by • May 20, 2021
The dry time of the excavator clay depends on how much water was used and how thick a layer of excavator is placed. To speed up the dry time you can always put a fan or a heat lamp over the tank to help.
