Would this soil be ok for an outdoor Russian enclosure? I have a few bags left over from a garden project I’d like to hopefully use to fill my russians enclosure more! C6127821-32D8-443D-812F-B5031420DC67.jpegCDF71BE0-F7FC-4855-820F-2206D1F4B40B.jpeg

I would not use any bagged soil in a tortoise enclosure. There is no way to know what composted yard waste its made of.

In this case is says "Canadian sphagnum peat moss". I wouldn't want sphagnum moss under a tortoise because it can rot their shells. Saw this with a friend's leopard tortoises.

Thank you! I’ll stick to what I got then!
