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.

  • Fantastic for garden snails and isopod enclosures
Size: 12oz
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! ... show more

  • Good product
Size: 12oz
I've probably used at least a dozen bags of this product for isopods and millipedes. I've never found trash or junk in it. The litter is nicely mulched, it does a good job of holding moisture in the substrate, and all my detritivores enjoy snacking on it.

  • Dusty and Twigs and Stuff Mixed In
Size: 12oz
Smells and looks dusty. I mostly placed it at the bottom of my substrate levels, even though I intended for it to be at the top, because I worried it would affect the air quality for my snails and isopods. I ordered whole oak leaves from a small business in Colorado that offered much better quality and freshness, with no dust, no twigs, etc. It was TerrariumTribe's Pin Oak Leaf Litter. ... show more

  • Great for isopods
Size: 12oz
I’ve been waiting to review this one. I have 4 types of isopods, and 4 types of springtails. I use this in my isopod enclosures where I also keep some springtails and they all seem to love it. They are all active and breeding like crazy, so the leaves must be good right? No issues, no odors, no unexpected hitchhikers. If I need more im the future will be buying again! ... show more

  • Just what I needed.
Size: 12oz
Mulched and sanitized, ready to use. Price is worth it to me, especially for mixing into isopod substrate.
