Compressed coconut chips that expand into a chunky, airy bed for tropical reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. The chips hold a lot of water, release it slowly, and resist packing down, so humidity stays steady without the bed turning to mud.

What it suits
Tropical reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, and humid or bioactive terrariums. The chips are coarser than Eco Earth Coconut Fiber, which is finer and better for humid hides and plant mixes.
Setting it up
Soak the brick in a bucket of water for about 30 minutes.
Break up any chunks left and squeeze out the extra water.
Add it to the enclosure on its own, or mix it with other substrates.
For a drier habitat, let the expanded chips dry, then mist or add water as needed.
Care and cleaning
Spot clean every day and change the whole bed every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if it needs it. Used chips can be composted or put into potted plants.
