## Overview

XYZReptiles Premium Live Oak Leaf Litter is a chemical-free, heat-treated substrate designed specifically for reptile and amphibian terrariums. Sourced from pesticide-free environments in the USA, it enhances bioactive setups by providing shelter, nutrients, and humidity retention. Half a gallon covers approximately 0.75 square feet at a 1-inch depth, supporting healthy microfauna populations and naturalistic vivarium aesthetics.

## Description

Our live oak leaf litter is collected from 100% pesticide and herbicide free environments. Isopods should always have a constant source of leaf litter inside their enclosure. This allows them to consume the organic material over time, while offering shelter. Isopods will not only consume the leafs, but often prefer to hide underneath them. It looks great in a naturalistic vivarium as well. Our live oak leaves break down over time and will eventually be consumed by any isopods in the enclosure. Leaf litter plays a very important role in a naturalistic vivarium as well as any isopod enclosure. The leaf litter provides shelter, visual barriers, and hiding places for the inhabitants. Each live oak leaf also puts nutrients back into the environment, providing plants and microfauna with food needed to thrive! One gallon of leaf litter will cover approximately 1.5 square feet to the desired depth of 1 inch.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these be used a Dwarf Cichlid aquarium?**
A: I would avoid these leaves for that if they are spotted with black spots when you get them. Several people including myself have gotten infected leaves from this seller, and when introduced to water they will infect other plants in your aquarium.

**Q: Should I get half a gallon or a full gallon for a 44 gallon terrarium?**
A: Hello, we recommend a full gallon for a terrarium that size.

**Q: Are these okay for a ball pythons ?**
A: Hello, yes these can be used in a ball python habitat. They can be added to the bedding but we would not recommend only using the leaves.

**Q: Are the sterilized?**
A: Not to sure but pretty positive it is, bc I'm a breeder for crested geckos and use it in my bioactive, so there safe if that answer u question! 👍

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by J***S on August 12, 2025*

I've been using this particular leaf litter for a while now. I buy it for my frogs terrarium and for my gecko too and it's good quality and cheaper than ones found in reptile shops. One bag more than covers my terrarium floor (36in wide 18in deep)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for terrestrial species
*by K***R on May 28, 2025*

Great leaf litter! I was hoping to find small leaves in bulk and these work great! I haven't even used the whole bag so it should last a while.These seem really nice so far. They don't snag on my box turtle like other leaves have so she doesn't drag them all into one spot/the water dish. Definitely should work with bioactive isopods/springtails if people go that route. I'm planning on adding some eventually.Great topper for mix I use. (Reptisoil / topsoil / moss / excavator clay / cypress mulch mix)No odd smell or issues with them. Appeared as intended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good experience
*by J***R on August 13, 2025*

I’ve ordered this product twice now, and have to say that it’s definitely worth it. You get a great amount of leaf litter for the price.
