[QUOTE="spiderengineer, post: 11233, member: 515"] their is pro and cons to it when comparing it to peat. the real pro to it, for most, is its resistance to mold and other growths that you can come across with peat. this makes its nice for spot cleaning and allows you to hold off on substrate changes for long periods. the main thing as to why I usually go for peat over eco earth is one its more expansive then peat. not extremely expensive (however I have alot of burrowers so it adds up for me). the other con for me is it dries quicker than peat does, which is not a huge deal, but since alot for my T's are humid species its beneficial for me to use peat in this regard as well [/QUOTE]
