What is a good soil I should get from home depot, that is safe for leopard geckos and cheap. Also what should the humidity be in an arid tank

#

youll need to look at the top soils and check the bags in person

#

they need to be plain soil without manure and fertalizer

#

the humidity should be 30-55% for leos

Topsoils

When picking a soil for your substrate mix, you want to find organic topsoil. It is worth noting that topsoil is different from potting soil.

In general, the topsoil you use should not have any additives such as fertilizers, manure or perlite/vermiculite. However, there are a select few additives such as charcoal and worm castings that are safe.
You can normally find topsoil in hardware or gardening stores, and if none is available, Reptisoil is a safe alternative.

Be aware that the soils listed in this graphic may have ingredients that vary across regions. Be sure to read the ingredients and labels to ensure they do not have any fertilizer or other harmful additives.

I currently have My leopard gecko in reptile carpet, but a lot is covered with moss and I have slate rocks, A new tank arrives may 30th, on friday, Should I immediately switch it out, or are they fine for now until a new tank arrives

ornate dagger May 28, 2025, 2:25 AM

#
