How big of a tank does one brick cover?
Answer by ChewyFeb 17, 2023
One brick of eco earth can get about 1 inch of depth in about a 20-gallon tank.

How many bricks do i need for a 40 gallon tank
Answer by EuniqueAug 04, 2023
I used 1 for my 20 so I'd say 2 is good for a 40

Would a ball python enjoy this more than mulch or the white bedding everyone sells?
Answer by ChewyNov 25, 2017
It's more naturalistic and similar to mulch than the white bedding.

When you store leftover does it stay good until you use it in the habitat or does it go bad? How long until the leftover are no longer useable?
Answer by ChewyOct 31, 2018
Any unused Eco Earth can be stored away wrapped up in a cool, dry place away from the outside to prevent critters from going into the compressed substrate. As long as it's stored properly to prevent from drying up, there is no expiration for the substrate.

Excellent stuff

I love using EcoEarth but sometimes it’s difficult to find the 3 pack at a reasonable price. Luckily, my partner recommended chewy and I’m really happy with the price, quality and customer service.

Great substrate

Breaks up into a good amount of substrate equal to the weight purchased. My snake loves this and the humidity has been easier to control since adding coconut fibers to the enclosure.

Great as Always

Can't beat the price! Three bricks of this are enough to fill my 120 gal terrarium, plus it works great when mixed with other substrates.

Great for keeping humidity up

I use this in most of my snake enclosures because when they go into the blue it makes it easy to keep the humidity alil higher for a few days then it drys back out with an under tank heater .

Nice product

Really nice stuff so far. Ne careful not to order 3 different packages like I did though while wondering if it meant three pieces in one package or three packages. It is three in one lol

Good Stff But...

I have used this for many years for my humid loving reptiles. During the last couple of years though moths have become a huge problem. They are in the fiber somehow and when you wet it it wakes them up or gets the eggs hatching. My basement is loaded with them. The solution is to soak the bricks outdoors so the moths don't get loose in your house. Or if you can, leave them outside for the winter to kill the moths off.

Eco Earth coconut fiber

Not new to Eco Earth coconut fiber and this is doing exactly what I needed it to do. Using this as part of the substrate in a roughneck monitor enclosure.
