Exo Terra Coco Husk substrate naturally regulates the humidity in the terrarium thanks to the hygroscopic properties of coconut husk fibres. It is suitable for tropical terrariums housing reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates that require humidity, as well as burrowing or digging animals.
The fibres are washed three times to remove salt residue, then tumble-dried and heat-treated to reduce bacterial contamination. The substrate retains water, helps with soil drainage and aeration, and can be composted.
