Zoomed reptisoil

[timc]

Does anyone have any experience with Zoomed Reptisoil as substrate? Like a total goof I grabbed it without looking thinking it was just cocofiber but when I got home I realized my mistake. I’m sure it’s fine and i’ve read about a few other keepers using it successfully, but it advertises carbon on the label and that’s what has me worried. I think it’s just zoomed trying to get into the hot vivarium market but i’d hate to use one of my Ts as a guinea pig and have something go wrong. I’d return it but I don’t know if my store is even doing returns right now, so i’d Only be out like $12 which is whatever. I’ve been a coco fiber guy for 12 years and i’m not a fan of change. Lol

I usually get a free bag of it when I buy one of their enclosures. Two of my hamorii and a chalcodes have been on it for over two years.
If you have a moisture dependent setup with springtails they love the carbon.
I usually mix it with a little coco fiber though. The free bag isnt enough for a spider enclosure.

$12 for a little bag of that stuff ? No thank you, I will stick to the $2 huge bag of standard dirt/topsoil.
