This half-gallon product covers about 0.75 square feet and helps retain humidity, making it an ideal habitat for microfauna like springtails and isopods. ## Description Our live oak leaf litter is collected from 100% pesticide and herbicide free environments. Isopods should always have a constant source of leaf litter inside their enclosure. This allows them to consume the organic material over time, while offering shelter. Isopods will not only consume the leafs, but often prefer to hide underneath them. It looks great in a naturalistic vivarium as well. Our live oak leaves break down over time and will eventually be consumed by any isopods in the enclosure. Leaf litter plays a very important role in a naturalistic vivarium as well as any isopod enclosure. The leaf litter provides shelter, visual barriers, and hiding places for the inhabitants. Each live oak leaf also puts nutrients back into the environment, providing plants and microfauna with food needed to thrive! One gallon of leaf litter will cover approximately 1.5 square feet to the desired depth of 1 inch. Review: Poor description - Extremely expensive product. The product description is misleading it says 2 pack, yet only one pack was delivered. Review: I have purchased every bag of leaf litter available on desertcart. This is the best! I have multiple isopod colonies that eat through their bedding fast. Not only is this bag the biggest and best value available, the quality of the actual leaves are top notch. About 95% percent of the leaves arrived whole and the rest is breaking down into smaller bits. This is perfect for vivarium, isopods or other little critters. The leaves were also very clean with no visable debris. As always, boil your leaf litter for about 10 minutes, strain and let cool before use. Just good husbandry advice. This bag is enough for me to cover two 5 gallon tanks, about 3 times each, for medium sized isopod colonies. They are housed with other critter soil on the bottom, and this leaf litter for a topping/hide/snack option. Helps keep the humidity up as well. I feed my colonies with Morning Wood from Repashy, wich probably helps with keeping the leaf litter around longer. Have fun out there! ## Features - CHEMCIAL FREE and safe for amphibian and reptile pets.

Several people including myself have gotten infected leaves from this seller, and when introduced to water they will infect other plants in your aquarium. **Q: Should I get half a gallon or a full gallon for a 44 gallon terrarium?** A: Hello, we recommend a full gallon for a terrarium that size. **Q: Are these okay for a ball pythons ?** A: Hello, yes these can be used in a ball python habitat. They can be added to the bedding but we would not recommend only using the leaves. **Q: Are the sterilized?** A: Not to sure but pretty positive it is, bc I'm a breeder for crested geckos and use it in my bioactive, so there safe if that answer u question! πŸ‘ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Poor description *by P***N on 27 June 2025* Extremely expensive product.
