    Default Let's talk dirt(y)!!

    And as a side note, I feed my springtails yeast, and my Isopods get eggshells, potato slices and any other veggie scraps I have left over from cooking.

    My general substrate choice is "bio-active" play-sand/organic topsoil mix.

    Bio-active is referring to the organisms that live with in the soil such as isopods, springtail, roaches, worms ect. But the main part is the soils natural bacteria that turns waste matter/ organic material back into soil. you can turn pretty much any soil type bedding into a bio-active environment.

    There are a few articles online that talk more about it Bio-active Substrate | Gecko Time

    You can also check out the book "the art of keeping snakes".
