Features
- Sterilized, Clean & Natural: Leaf litter collected from natural woodlands is sterilized to provide a high-quality, organic substrate for your reptiles, isopods, and amphibian pets to thrive in a forest-like habitat. The mixture includes elm, maple, and oak leaves.
- Leaf Litter for Terrarium & Other Tanks: Enhance the habitat of your reptiles, isopods, or snails with our leaf litter, which provides visual barriers and natural hiding spots. It also works great as a soil additive for plants and helps maintain healthy humidity levels in the tank.
- Mulched for Maximum Benefit: Our leaf litter has been properly mulched, resulting in a substrate that fills enclosures more effectively, providing more access to burrowing, & offers easy digestion as a food source.
- Nutrient-Rich Composting: When adding to existing soil substrates, the leaf litter for reptiles will break down faster than whole leaves, providing a nutrient-rich environment for any bioactive terrarium.
- Provides Comfort & Shelter: It's a valuable addition to various detritivore terrariums & bioactive enclosures, serving as a safe resting place & shelter for reptiles, isopods, springtails, snails, & frogs. All of these animals will find comfort in the cover it provides! The 12-ounce pack is enough to cover the bottom of a 10-gallon tank, while the 24-ounce pack provides more than enough for a thicker layer or multiple tanks. Choose from different sizes to match your tanks needs.

I wound up taking a risk and trying a brand I was unfamiliar with when redoing our garden snail and isopod enclosures, and I’ve been really pleased with the quality and the size of the bag for how much I spent on this leaf litter. Even more importantly, our little creepy crawlies seem to LOVE it. Especially the isopods, who all scatter to check it out the moment fresh litter is placed in. All of the leaves are of a fairly uniform color with a bit of variation in size here and there. If you’re looking for something that’s crushed to a fine powder, this is not the item for you. My isopods and snails seem to enjoy the variation, and it’s super easy to clean up if any happens to spill. I’ve never once noticed any sign of contamination, which means I know it’s safe for my little guys. Always a good idea to be vigilant for pests when introducing anything new to their environment! I still have over half the bag left, so I’d say it’s a great value considering I paid about $15 for it months ago. I’ll definitely be ordering a second bag when this one runs low!

Love it! Less work for me when I don't have time to collect, sanitize & prepare. I have a 10 gallon & it's only on the dry side. I have 3/4 of the bag left. I didn't find big leaves. Mine are mulched. However, I added whole leaves on top. Great overall.

Very clean leaf litter. Isopods seem to love it. Will buy again.

Mulched and sanitized, ready to use. Price is worth it to me, especially for mixing into isopod substrate.

Used in my Isopod tank as a more broken down layer between dirt and larger leaves, they seem to love it.

With two frogs and two toads in two different tanks, I go through a lot of sterilized dirt plus leaf litter and/or mulched leaves to keep my springtails and isopods healthy and repopulating. I was pleasantly surprised to see this bag of Scotty's Bugs mulched leaves pop up and happily grabbed it to try out. Specs: - the mulched leaves arrived mulched, but not excessively crushed, in a well-sealed 12 oz. brown kraft bag - the bag measures 12"H x 10"W x3"D (3" at the bottom and tapers as the bag goes upward) and has a window ->> so you can see what you're getting before opening <<- - the mulch is advertised as sterilized, including on the bag's label. I still went ahead and sealed the entire bag inside another airtight plastic bag for 3.5 days - just to be safe and protect against potential hitchhikers (like mites). That's my status quo, however, you do what's best for your situation. I used the mulch in both my toads' terrarium and my frogs' terrarium by mixing most of it in with the existing dirt but also left a small pile in the corner of each. I lightly watered the mixture and added a sprinkle of Isopod & Superload food. In one night, they'd chewed through a noticeable amount of the mulched leaves, so it's clear they prefer this mix of 3 types of tress over my home-made single leaf type mixture. Overall, the quality of the Scotty's Bugs mulched leaves is better than I expected. There was very minimal non-leaf material, it was nearly dirt free, and the majority of the leaf stems were broken into smaller sizes. At just $15, it's reasonably priced and affordable enough that I'll definitely buy from them in the future. I'd call this a very good buy. Enjoy! 🙂 Note: This is my honest opinion and I hope my experience with the item helps you in your decision.

The listing shows, and claims, that the leaf litter is "properly mulched," but mine most certainly was not. There were BIG pieces of leaves, with some leaves almost completely full. It was a decent amount of leaf litter, and was good for adding to multiple small terrariums with both arboreal snails and exotic millipedes in them. Price was much too high for what you are getting, however. I'm glad I gave it a try, for very basic leaf litter, it's exactly what you would expect which is why I gave it 4 stars (removed a star because mine was absolutely not 'properly mulched'). I would not consider getting it again nor recommending it at this price though (currently $14.99).
