Review: It does what it says on the ̶t̶i̶n̶ packaging - Perfect, well priced and just enough for two "30x15mm" enclosures at a depth of 1-1.5 inch. The soil mix is great, there are loads of leaves. Too many ??? So I broke a big handful up into bits and mixed this into the sub, along with some moss. Price wise is great, much better than a high street chain with giant green signs and bad advice on goldfish

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for giant snails please?**
A: I would not know as bought the substrate for my Tarantula's which I do recommend for rain forest type creatures. I have never had snails so would not know if it is suitable sorry.

**Q: Would this be suitable for closed terrarium**
A: Yes this is suitable.

**Q: How much water do I use to soak it?**
A: You dont need water for loose substrate like this only when its compressed into bricks do you need to use water to seperate it.
Depending on what species you are keeping on it a light misting should suffice.
Try and give your critters options ie humidity variation one side of enclosure dry the other more moist so they can choose.
hope this helps.

**Q: Is this for asian/emperor Scorpion?**
A: This is suitable for scorpions, among other animals.
