Zoo Med Eco Earth Substrate Brick 7-8 Litres

Bought as a substrate for our toad. Once hydrated, it makes a huge amount of substrate which we bagged up and stored for future vivarium cleans. We will be using this in future.

I definitely recommend this, it is easy to use and perfect for a tarantula terrarium. The only thing I would say is that this little brick makes A LOT so be sure of how much you need before you soak it!

Good price . Fit for purpose . Used inside my daughter's crested gecko tank . Pleased and will purchase again .

It's the second lot of eco earth we have orded and really happy with it

Good value and being compressed there is plenty of substrate once broken apart

Great substrate for my geckos and tarantula.

High quality substrate, I wouldn't trust any other brand.

I’m not sure if it should have such a horrid chemical smell when soaking and for the first day or 2 but eventually wore off. I’ve never had this problem before it usually smells lovely. Is it safe?

I love this stuff. I’ve been using it for my snakes forever and one brick is enough to cover the entire bottom of my long 40 gallon terrarium. I personally love the smell when I initially mix it with water .it just smells like really clean dirt if that makes sense? but once it’s actually in the tank you can’t smell it at all. I absolutely prefer this to the aspen shavings/other bedding for that reason as well as it’s great ability to help with increasing/maintaining humidity.

I mixed this brick with leftover ReptiBark for my 10 gallon ball python tank, which was due to a first time error in my judgement. The one brick wasn't working,and the humidity was way too high, so I ended up mixing it up with ReptiBark, and haven't had a problem since.I now have her in a 40 gallon, but as I like to have extra substrate on hand, I do recommend this.I don't know that it has a smell- certainly not one of plastic or chemicals, as mentioned before in another review. It kind of reminds me of a forest in the nose sense.I am on some snake groups on Facebook and they all have recommended Reptichip for perfect humidity control, and I do agree with them. This keeps humidity well, and is easy to maintain it by just mixing up the substrate in the tank or dampening it a little.I feel it's extremely easy to clean, much more economical compared to pet stores, is a well known brand, so I will continue to buy it from here.I do hope that helps others decide whether to get this or go with another product.

If you're ordering this internationally, keep in mind this will take upwards of 2 months to arrive. aside from delivery time, product arrived as described and the snake's very happy about it.

gerne wieder :) bin zufrieden und meine spinne schein sich auch wohlzufühlen

I mix it 50/50 with some potting soil and top the last 1/4 of my potted plants with the mixture, it helps keep the water inside the pot for longer so I have to water less and don't have to worry about them when I go away. Highly recommend!
