It is a blend of ingredients that provides the idealmix of texture and moisture retention to simulate the soils found in their natural habitats.The addition of pure limestone to the mix provides additional calcium if the substrate iseaten. It is also suitable for many species of lizards that originate from arid habitats.Directions:Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 2″ (5cm)for young animals and up to 6″ (15cm) or more for mature animals.
