Zoo Med Eco Earth Coconut Chips Substrate

Eco Earth Coconut Chips is an outstanding natural coconut coir substrate crafted from an environmentally - friendly and renewable resource. It's an ideal choice for creating bioactive and natural - looking terrariums. The coarse chips enhance air circulation, prevent soil compaction, and ensure excellent drainage. This long - lasting substrate is naturally resistant to mold. It can absorb and hold moisture up to 8 times its dry weight, keeping the terrarium environment moist. Suitable for use with reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, it provides a perfect habitat for your beloved pets.

To use this Zoo Med Eco Earth Coconut Chips Substrate, first, put the chips into a large container. Add water slowly until the substrate reaches its maximum water - holding capacity (it can absorb up to 8 times its dry weight in water). Stir well to ensure even moisture distribution. Then, place the moistened substrate in your terrarium. When using it with reptiles, amphibians, or invertebrates, make sure the terrarium is clean before adding the substrate. As for maintenance, check the moisture level regularly. If it dries out, simply add a bit of water. Also, keep an eye out for any signs of mold. Since the substrate is naturally mold - resistant, it should last a long time, but replace it if it starts to break down or becomes overly dirty.
