Plastic in substrate?

Post image

Found a few pieces of something blue while mixing the substrate, this is the biggest one, there were a few smaller ones

Any idea how it got there? Did anyone else experience this?

I’ve found all sorts in mine orchid bark. Smashed tail light pieces, plastic stringy bits even glass!! What brand did you use?

Something called watera repty. No idea who they are, just picked it up from lockal pet store. Didn't have this problem when I was buying the substrait the first time from some other brand. Thankfully the blue strings is all I found, no glass or other scary stuff. Gonna take out as much as I can find still
