Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate 8 qt (8.8 L) | Ready-to-Use Reptile Bedding

Create a healthy, natural environment for your reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates with Zoo Med Eco Earth® Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate. Made from 100% natural coconut fiber, this ready-to-use loose substrate provides excellent moisture retention while promoting healthy humidity levels in tropical and naturalistic terrariums.

Unlike compressed bricks, this convenient 8 qt (8.8 L) bag is ready to use right out of the package—no soaking or expanding required. Eco Earth naturally absorbs odors and helps break down waste while providing a soft, comfortable substrate that encourages natural burrowing and digging behaviours.
