Exo Terra Coco Husk Terrarium Substrate, 8-Quart

The Exo Terra Coco Husk Terrarium Substrate, 8-Quart, is an exceptional choice for reptile and amphibian habitats. Made from 100% natural coconut husk, it is eco-friendly and safe for pets. I find its excellent moisture retention is ideal for species needing high humidity, while its texture promotes natural behaviors like burrowing and digging. Additionally, it offers natural odor control, is easy to clean, and versatile for various terrarium setups. The generous 8-quart size is packaged conveniently, providing great value for its quality and benefits. Overall, I think it’s a top-tier substrate for creating a healthy, enriching environment for your pets.

I chose this option for reptiles instead of the coconut husk that was suggested in the gardening section. I got it at a better price and it works great for both..

I used this for my tutrle.

We are new snake owners and still figuring things out so this compact block was a little tricky for us to work with. Great price though.

A small amount of this expands and goes a long way. Perfect size so it doesn't get accidentally digested with their food and they don't get their food all dusty; holds moisture really well- shedding is really easy for them when using this as substrate. Really great quality for how low priced this is. Repeat buyer.

Haven't used it yet but appears to be exactly as described! I will update later after I use but seems to be what I need! Very happy!

It hasn't even been a week since attempting to use this for my aroid potting mix. I used this for one plant only so far. I felt like the plant was acting weird so I dug around in the pot and discovered MOLD on some of the husk pieces. I bought two bricks but only used one. There was no mold in the brick at all so I'm not sure what happened. Also, my brick is mainly hard pieces of husk and lots of long fibers. Not very many chunks in mine which isn't very good for what I'm using it for. My plant now had root rot after using this. I'm so sad.

I got this to make my own soil less chunky indoor plant mix. It’s pretty thick and chunky, I had to break a lot of the pieces up smaller which I didn’t mind. But if you do, get one that says it’s smaller chunks if they sell it.
