This ecological substrate is ideal for increasing humidity in the terrarium and is totally safe for frogs, salamanders and burrowing or digging animals. Exo Terra Plantation Soil Tropical Terrarium Substrate can also be used as an incubation medium because of its hygroscopic properties. This 100 percent natural substrate can even be used as a nutritional planting soil for live plants in a terrarium set up.

Review: Strategy substrate - I got 2 of the 3x 8 quarts. Theres a lot more than I thought there'd be once hydrated. Give me 3-4 inches in my partner's 76 gallon snake tank. The snake loves it too. Good size for price. It doesn't smell like anything other than dirt ans is great quality soil. Easy to rehydrate but takes some elbow grease bc it doesn't just melt into the water, tou do have to use your hands to break it apart.
Review: Compact, easy to rehydrate - I really like the Exo Terra Plantation Soil for my reptile’s enclosure. One thing that stands out is how lightweight and compact the packaging is. It’s a brick of compressed substrate that expands when you add water, which makes it so much easier to store compared to those bulky bags of loose dirt. Plus, since it’s compact, you don’t have to buy it as frequently, which is super convenient. The substrate itself is great quality—soft, clean, and easy to work with. It holds moisture well, which is perfect for maintaining the right humidity in the enclosure, and it’s safe for my reptile. It’s also easy to break apart and spread evenly, which is a bonus. Overall, I’m really happy with this product. It’s practical, easy to store, and does exactly what I need it to. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a substrate that’s effective and hassle-free!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You definitely get more than it seems!
*by J***Y on August 3, 2018*

I bought this as a substrate for a new corn snake, and I ended up buying way too much because I didn't realize exactly how much this stuff will expand. I've adapted a 30 gallon tank for her, and half a block expanded enough to cover the bottom of the tank about 2 inches deep. It's amazing. My little corn snake also loves to burrow in it, and even dry it holds her tunnels' shapes fairly well. Changing to this has really made her much happier. To use it, you need to take one of the blocks, which is super compacted, and soak it in water until it breaks apart. If you need to use it fairly wet, you can soak it and add it straight to your vivarium. Otherwise, you'll need to soak it, spread it out on something, and let it dry for at least 12 hours before you use it. This stuff will hold a LOT of water, and while I used far less than the package recommended to soak it in, it still took a long time to dry back out. I suggest breaking off what you think you need, letting it soak in water that comes up the block about half way, and breaking it up as it loosens to keep it as dry as possible. Once it does start to loosen, it's pretty easy to break up the clumps and fluff it out. I spread mine out and used a box fan to keep air moving over it and turned it over every now and again until it wasn't damp anymore. Also, the packaging doesn't lie. It has a texture more like soil than the bedding I'm familiar with, so don't expect a feeling like wood shavings from this. However, that does mean that if you're using it for live plants they should do fine with it. As an experiment, I used a little to re-pot one of my succulents, an Aloe, and it's growing extremely well. Since then, I do plan to use this when I add live plants to my set up. I'm weird but I also really like how this stuff smells. It smells like super clean earth. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this product, it's definitely a steal at the price for the quantity you get. I fully plan to keep using this as my regular substrate from now on.
