It works
Got this to create a more natural environment for my beardy. It's a great quality material to use for an aesthetic effect. Easy to use, doesn't smell damp, safe for reptiles, natural colour. My girl is fussy, she refused to use artificial shelters, created a small sized cave initially out of this, shes then dug it out to fit her needs. All in all, I will use again.

Brilliant piece of kit
Absolutely brilliant stuff you need a little bit more water than suggested to make sure its well mixed liked putty clay and when you are moulding use wet latex or nitrate gloves keep wetting hands to get good contact. I only used one bag for what I made but could have used more to be fair as I only managed one cave but it looks awesome 👌

For our Breaded Dragon
Love this product. It's a great substrate for our breaded dragon, Duggy. We have not added water to it as wanted to leave it as a soft substrate. It's soft for Duggy and although like a sand, does not get mixed with his food so he does not digest it. It also looks good as the colour is very natural 😊

Mudskippers love it
I have used this to scuplt and area for my mudskippers, and its stayed! Even though its very wet and humid all the little burrows I've formed are still there and the skippers love it

Love it. Best substrate I have found
I got 2 bags to cover the floor of my 4ft X 2ft X 2ft bearded dragon enclosure and it was just enough. I added a thin layer to the floor about 1.5 cm deep and brushed over it using water. It was dry to touch after a few hours and continued to harden and change colour over the next few days. I love that you can grind the set clay up in a pestal and mortar and then mix it with again if you where to change enclosures or rearrange. Once dried it gives a cracked affect which I think really adds to the dessert vibe and I love it. Overall 10/10 would definitely buy again.

J’ai acheter ce substrat pour le terrarium de mon gecko léopard, le résultat et vraiment naturel, et très jolie, je me suis amusée à faire des grottes avec de simples ballons que j’ai gonfler, c’est top ! Le temps de prendre le coup de main et ça forme comme de la pâte à modeler, il faut juste faire attention à vraiment bien tasser la terre sinon en séchant ça va laisser pas mal de petits morceaux que le lézard peut avaler et risque de faire une occlusion intestinale, un coup d’aspi à la fin et c’est bon. Attention en séchant ça va plus ou moins fissurer et craqueler, c’est normal, moi j’ai colmater les fissures quelques jours après en mettant à nouveaux de l’Excavator. Ça met bien 1 semaine à sécher complètement, et 48/72h pour la surface. J’ai du prendre 3 sacs pour un terrarium de 90x45cm en sachants que les grottes demandent pas mal de matière. Produits bien emballer, pas de trous à la réception.

El mejor tipo de material si tienes una pogona vitticeps, cómodo de limpiar y si respetas el modo de secado no se agrieta y deja un buen suelo para el animal. El envío vino perfecto.

Molto modellabile...si può mischiare con fibra di cocco o sabbia per aumentarne il volume
