Riare 4LBS Expanded Clay Balls Terrarium Substrate for Reptiles - 100% Organic Lightweight Clay Pebbles Substrate Frogs False Bottom Substrate, Bioactive Terrarium Substrate for Drainage and Moisture

Very good quality. I bought leca from two different places and wish I bought both bags from this place because it was obvious that this was washed and very clean vs the other making a huge cloud of dust and dirty.

does the job just make sure to rinse before use

A lot more than you think is in there.

Looks good! I have not received all the material for my experiment.

The color of the clay pebbles look a lot darker and smaller than the pictures show. Overall they seem okay. First time buying and using clay pebbles. So can't really compare them to anything else.

Still trying to figure everything out. I got this along with some moss to make a different substrate for my bearded dragon. You start by soaking them in dechlorinated water, then add them to the tank. I think just walking on them alone would be a bit tricky, since it would be a very bumpy substrate -- that is why I put the moss on top.For the most part, my beardie tries to avoid pooping in his tank, but he did so a few days ago. Not sure the best way to clean stuff up with this substrate, honestly -- although it seems some of the poop was more or less absorbed. I ended up throwing out some of the pellets -- now I think I should have just washed them. Certainly this makes it trickier to clean up than when everything is just flat, but this is a far more interesting substrate. The tank looks much better, more natural.I have also been just pouring water into the bottom of the tank, but not enough to cover the pellets. That way there is humidity without swampiness. My beardie can still move around without getting wet. That said, he pretty much always sits in his hammock, but I still like that I can increase the humidity.Even though I haven't figured out all the tricks, I still recommend this.

These clay balls come in different sizes and are easy to work with. I usually dump the whole bag into containers and I didn't notice too much dust in the bin or the bag, so that was a good sign.I've already soaked and used these clay balls for my a few of my plants. The different sizes filled the gaps and spaces quite well. They are much easier and less messy to work with than soil. My planter also don't weigh as much either.I've used these with several glass vases and I was confident seeing that the soaking and rinsing didn't leave much debris in the vases, aside from the fertilizer i added that may have clouded the wayer a bit. I am also excited that these clay balls and glass vase allowed me to see the roots for their development (or potential root rot).These clay balls may actually become my permanent solution beside using them for propagation. I'm so glad i may not have to get bags of soil, compost, barks, perlite, etc. To make my own mix. I think I'm getting a hang of the semi hydroponic system and not have to clean up the mess! I may consider purchasing the 10 lb bag when I'm out to get the best value.

I had been wanting some clay balls to use in my indoor plant pots to improve drainage, so I was glad to find this product. This generous 4-lb. bag will supply enough to repot my dozen or so plants, from a couple of Christmas cactus shoots to a small coffee tree. The clay balls are exactly as expected, and don't seem to contain any extraneous material or other weird stuff. I'm confident that they'll work well for my plants, and would definitely order more when I run out.
