DESCRIPTION
Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate can be used in terrariums with a variety of pets to create a naturalistic environment. When added in ample amounts, this substrate will let your toad, burrowing tortoise or terrestrial turtle create natural burrows or microclimates. Mist every day to create and maintain the humidity levels appropriate to your pet.

Provides a natural terrarium type setup for reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates
Can be used damp for tropical species

Partially cover the top of your terrarium with glass to increase humidity levels
Spot clean as needed; if foul odor persists, remove all substrate and replace
