At first glance without using the stuff, i kind of agree with you just from the cost perspective. If you had a couple BPs in a little rack, stuff probably is awesome. Have 6 4x2 cages and 3 6x3 cages with large constrictors that piss 6 inch craters of liquid, not so awesome. Granted though the boas only piss about once every 2-4 weeks but Caesar pisses like the end of the world is coming. He just lets it fly wherever he is haha.
And yeah, that shipping per bag is a killer. When i just plugged in all the numbers into their website just to get an idea of the cost, shipping was going to run me $49.90 for 10 bags. That is more expensive than shipping an AP T8 cage and almost as much as a T10 lol. For 10 bags of substrates....
But like i said, i will give the benefit of the doubt and hold judgement until i actually get my bag and use it and talk to them about any form of 'deals' for ordering in bulk. Who knows, maybe I'll love the stuff and it will be the second coming in substrate form lol. I really want to know how the stuff works for Ziggy as he has big snakes.
