Can this be used for ball pythons? I'm new to snake owning and trying to get things in order before purchasing my new snake. I read finer particles can get caught in their nostrils/pores...I want to have a few friendly live plants in with it.

Answer by SaraDec 04, 2023
Absolutely not. This does not retain humidity well and is prone to mold.

How many square feet can 24q of this cover?


Is this safe for leopard geckos? Can you plant succulents in it?

Answer by ChewyFeb 25, 2024
This soil can be used to grow ferns, bromeliads, miniature orchids, succulents, or carnivorous plants. The Reptisoil can be mixed with Excavator clay or Reptisand and used with a leopard gecko. It is not recommended as a standalone substrate for leopard geckos.

is it safe for crested geckos?

Answer by ChewyFeb 22, 2021
This substrate would be safe for a crested gecko.

Great quality

After doing research about play sand and topsoil, rinsing and cleaning, moldy and chunky topsoil, etc, I went with this. No hassle and it’s ready out of the bag

After doing research about play sand and topsoil, rinsing and cleaning, moldy and chunky topsoil, etc, I went with this. No hassle and it’s ready out of the bag. One 24 quart bag leveled out to approximately 1 to 2 inches in depth in a 18x36 inch, 40 gallon tank. Great product and happy I went with this.

Bioactive Base

While on its own this is too fine of a texture to use, it will become too compacted, it makes a great base for a bioactive setup when mixed with leaves and moss

While on its own this is too fine of a texture to use, it will become too compacted, it makes a great base for a bioactive setup when mixed with leaves and moss and a bit of bark to give it more aeration!

Iguana enclosure

Brought this for my iguana tanks. When mixed with coconut fiber, it really helps to keep moisture in and helps with maintaining humidity.

Absolutely DO NOT GET THIS FOR YOUR SNAKE

I would give it zero stars if I could. Got this substrate because people were saying it’s a great substrate, but apparently it’s terrible for feeding. I fed my snake

I would give it zero stars if I could. Got this substrate because people were saying it’s a great substrate, but apparently it’s terrible for feeding. I fed my snake in his enclosure (something I always do and never have had a problem before with) and my snake took extremely long to eat, which was the first cause for concern because he normally eats within 30 mins to an hour. Then I came and checked on him after he had fully ate, and he was sitting upright with his mouth open and gasping for air. Turns out the substrate got lodged in his throat and he couldn’t breathe. If you don’t take your snake out of their enclosure to feed them, i would highly recommend a different substrate. I don’t think the substrate is bad, but it can be extremely dangerous for your snake!

Repeat purchase

This is a great product. I use this for my Tarantula and Isopods. It’s not dusty and is soft with no hard pieces of wood.

Good for price

Trying this instead of coco fiber. Its a little dusty, but seems to hold moisture fine. That makes it less dusty. Hoping it will do well for my tarantulas and i
