  • Perfect for our lizard
We got this substrate to use in our little lizards new tank and it is a very nice substrate. Because it's already loose in the bag you just pour in the amount you need and spray with a little water to give your reptile the humidity it needs and your good to go. It is a shredded coconut fiber so it holds the moisture really well and would mix well with other types of substrate if you need to do so. ... show more

  • Got this for my monstera and it's been great...except...
Yes, I bought reptile substrata for my beloved plant. I'm not sure what came over me, but I'm pretty sure it originally had something to do with me thinking I could foster a colony of springtails or isopods before sense took over and I created a little tub for them. That said, it smells a lot like manure. Like, a lot. And if you plan to use it indoors, at least keep in mind that it's gonna have a smell to it for a couple of weeks whenever you water your beauties. ... show more

  • Eucalyptus or Cedar Smell
It has great texture and natural earth color, BUT it has a strong smell of eucalyptus or cedar, which my corn snake did not like. In fact, he came out of his hide and leaned up against the glass with his head pointed upwards towards the screen top. I also tried it with isopods. They went to the surface and they situated themselves on top of the log cave, away from the Living Earth Substrate. Then out of curiosity, I tried Living Earth Substrate for a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. She did not like it, either. She went to the surface and crawled on top of a plant leaf, away from the Living Earth Substrate. The smell is so strong, I can be six feet away and I can still smell it. I removed all of it and went back to the aspen and coir mix. ... show more

  • Good substrate, well packed!
I love the quality of packaging for this substrate- it's sealed, using a heavy plastic resistant to puncture. Thicker than, say, reptisoil or something you might buy in a store. The composition holds moisture well (using it for invertebrates) and hasn't shown any problems with molding!

  • It STINKS!
It really looks like good substrate. It's supposed to be perfect for bioactive terrariums. My bag came in with no problems, no punctures, packed well. I opened and the smell was more than I could handle. It's rough. I ended up cutting it with ReptiSoil about 50/50, maybe a little heavier on the ReptiSoil. It helped but not a lot. After a few days the smell dissipated. I'm using it for a crested gecko and there's been no issues. I did contact the company and they said it was normal to have a strong not so pleasant smell. I plan to set up a true bioactive terrarium for my gecko in the next few months, but I'm not sure I can handle the smell to use this. It's really strong for a while. ... show more

  • Seems like a good mix, but smells horrible... Fluke??
I don't know what the problem could be, all of the ingredients are things that I have used in other mixes and it looks perfectly fine. The bag was sealed when I received it, and wasn't damaged that I could see. I opened it and was immediately hit with an incredibly strong smell like burning... something? I can't place it but it's very unpleasant, it was almost like sticking my nose into an ash tray or something. I have purchased bags of straight horticultural charcoal for terrariums before so I'm sure that isn't it. I have had multiple different brands of coconut coir, sphagnum moss, peat moss, soil, charcoal, cypress mulch, a variety of leaf litter, orchid bark, ABG mix... NOTHING has ever smelled like this. I really wish I could give this a good review, I just can't with my experience of it. Maybe I got a bad bag, but something is seriously off with it. I poured a little into the terrarium I was planning to set up, and ended up pouring it back into the bag and needing to wash the terrarium out before I could use it because the smell was lingering so strongly on the glass. I taped the bag shut as best as I could to hopefully contain the smell. I can't bring myself to use it with any critters, in part because I don't know if there is something wrong with this bag, and also because I can't bear the smell coming from it. Given the other good reviews, I want to believe it's just a fluke but be warned that this could happen. ... show more
