FAQs
How often should I replace the substrate?
A partial substrate change is recommended every 1-3 months, but this depends on the species and setup. Complete substrate changes should be performed as needed.
What kind of reptiles is this substrate best suited for?
It is ideal for species such as Crested Geckos, Day Geckos, Water Dragons, Royal Pythons, Poison Arrow Frogs, Whites Tree Frogs, and Hermit Crabs.
How do I maintain the correct humidity levels?
Monitor humidity with a hygrometer and mist the substrate with water as needed. Adjust the frequency of misting based on your reptile's needs.
Can I use this substrate with live plants?
Yes, this substrate can support live plants. Ensure proper drainage and select plants suitable for your reptile's environment.
Is the substrate safe for my reptile to ingest?
