Review on Zoo Med Reptile Bedding Quarts Reptiles & Amphibians best: Terrarium Bedding, Sand & Substrate by Joey Makarovski

My cake likes to dig into the substrate! I've bought this several times but the last time there were springtails in the substrate because it was wetter when I opened it. I went on reddit thinking it was mites but they were identified as springtails and didn't harm my turtle. They actually eat decaying things like leftover food and turtle droppings. I usually clean up leftover food, so springtails only reproduce from moisture and feces. At first I was outraged, but honestly everything is fine. They don't fly, are tiny and don't bother my turtle. Hopefully the next bag I buy won't have them.
