Zoo Med Laboratories Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate

Create a natural terrarium with Zoo Med Eco Earth coconut fiber substrate that supports healthy humidity, easy burrowing, and cleaner spot maintenance. Keep your reptile, amphibian, or invertebrate comfortable with a soft, diggable bedding that holds moisture without getting soggy—perfect for sheds, hides, and bioactive builds.

Key Features

• Coconut fiber base: Line enclosures with a renewable, soil-like bedding that feels natural.
• Moisture retention: Hold humidity longer to support shedding and skin comfort.
• Easy burrowing: Let diggers tunnel and nest for calmer, natural behavior.
• Low mess cleanup: Spot clean quickly; refresh sections instead of full swaps.
• Versatile use: Fit tropical, semi-humid, and bioactive setups with plants.
• Odor help: Reduce smells by trapping waste and maintaining airflow.

Applications

Set up habitats for ball pythons, crested geckos, tree frogs, dart frogs, tarantulas, isopods, and more. Moisten to create humidity hides, lay egg sites, or pack around live plants. Use dry on top for cleaner feeding areas, then mist where extra humidity is needed.
