Product Description
Exo Terra Plantation Soil is a premium, one hundred percent natural terrarium substrate crafted from sustainable, ground coconut husk fiber. Specially designed for tropical and bioactive terrarium setups, this ecological substrate naturally regulates air humidity levels to aid in reptile shedding and prevent respiratory infections. Its soft, loose texture perfectly stimulates natural digging and burrowing behaviors in frogs, salamanders, and other burrowing animals, providing essential physical and mental enrichment. Triple machine-washed, machine-dried, and heat-treated, this non-toxic medium is entirely free of chemical additives, industrial salts, and bacterial contamination, making it completely safe for your delicate exotic pets. Additionally, this unique coir pith features an optimal blend of short fibers and coco-peat granules that dramatically improve soil drainage and root aeration. This advanced structure supports thriving live plant growth and fosters beneficial, waste-reducing clean-up crews like isopods and springtails to keep your habitat fresh and clean. It also serves as an excellent incubation medium for reptile eggs due to its superior moisture retention properties.
