Zoo Med Eco Earth Coconut Chips

Highlights

• Natural coconut coir substrate, made from an eco-friendly, renewable resource
• Great for bioactive and naturalistic terrariums
• Coarse pieces increase aeration, resist compaction, and allow for drainage
• Absorbs and retains moisture (up to 8X its dry weight in water!)
• Use with reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates
  

Zoo Med’s new Eco Earth Coconut Chips is a natural coconut coir substrate made from an eco-friendly, renewable resource. The material is highly absorbent (holds up to 8 times its dry weight in water!) and retains that moisture well, releasing it slowly to create a humid, tropical environment perfect for various reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This substrate works well as a stand-alone substrate for humidity-loving species, creating humid microclimates, and it can also be used in bioactive substrates. When mixed into a bioactive soil mixture, the coarse pieces increase aeration, resist compaction, and allow for drainage which are all beneficial factors in supporting live plant growth and clean-up-crew health.
