The Exo Terra Coco Husk is a terrarium bedding material made from 100% natural, biodegradable coconut husk fiber. It is sourced from sustainable coconut plantations in tropical Asia. Here are some key features and benefits of using Exo Terra Coco Husk as a terrarium bedding:

Natural Humidity Regulation: This substrate has unique hygroscopic properties that help regulate the humidity levels within the terrarium in a natural way. This is particularly beneficial for humidity-loving reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Adequate humidity can aid in shedding and prevent respiratory infections in certain animals.

Safe for Animals: Exo Terra Coco Husk is safe for animals that burrow or dig, such as frogs and salamanders. It provides a comfortable and natural substrate for these creatures.

Improved Drainage and Aeration: It has good water retention capacity, which is balanced by improved soil drainage and aeration. This combination is beneficial for maintaining a healthy terrarium environment and promoting the growth of waste-reducing organisms.

Reduces Mold and Decay: This bedding material is very resistant to mold and decay, which helps keep the terrarium clean and odor-free.

Sustainable Resource: The coconut husk fiber used in Exo Terra Coco Husk comes from sustainable sources, making it an eco-friendly choice for terrarium enthusiasts.

Triple Washing and Heat Treatment: The substrate undergoes a thorough process of machine washing three times to remove any residual salt content. It is then machine dried and heat-treated to reduce bacterial contamination, ensuring a safe and clean environment for your animals.

Compatibility with Plants: Exo Terra Coco Husk can be mixed with Exo Terra Plantation Soil to create a substrate with increased air-filled porosity. This is beneficial for specific tropical plants like orchids and bromeliads.

Non-Toxic and Chemical-Free: It is entirely non-toxic and free from chemicals and pesticides, making it safe for use in terrariums.

Compostable: Exo Terra Coco Husk can be safely composted in your garden once it's no longer needed in the terrarium, contributing to environmental sustainability.

In summary, Exo Terra Coco Husk is a versatile and eco-friendly terrarium bedding material that offers natural humidity control, cleanliness, and safety for your terrarium inhabitants. It is well-suited for a variety of tropical reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, and it can also support the growth of tropical plants in your terrarium.
