PETsMART has ExoTerra forest moss in a brick. We incorporated it into all 5 tats and for 8 bucks you get a ton of it after it soaks in saltwater and expands. I would suggest airing it out for a couple or three days after expansion. Unless you enjoy the woodsy jungle smell. It's an acquired scent.

The bullet rocks for dry mixes! Omega One products only.

We have been lucky enough to start our crab family without having to use shipping methods,so this was my first. I was actually pretty disappointed with the shipping. Ive seen un boxing videos and none was how I received mine. Only thing on outside of box was fragile,so course the corners were crushe...

I recently acquired 2 beautiful strawberries who are in ISO right now but in the four days now that i have had them they have not dug anywhere. I see no holes,tunnels,or disrupted substrate. They are active but chill time is huddled together in corner. I have 3 other species and all different sizes ...
