Exo Terra Coco Husk Substrate 7L Block PT2775 | Reptile Terrarium

The ET Coco Husk Substrate 7L Block (PT2775) is a compressed coconut husk substrate sourced from tropical Asian plantations. Designed for humid-environment terrariums, it suits keepers housing frogs, salamanders, and burrowing or digging species that need a natural, moisture-retentive substrate underfoot.

Natural Source, Practical Function

Made entirely from coconut husk, this is a 100% natural substrate with no synthetic additives. It comes as a compressed block that expands on contact with water, making it straightforward to prepare and store before use.

Humidity and Environment

Coconut husk holds moisture effectively, making it well suited to terrariums where maintaining elevated humidity is a priority. This helps replicate the damp forest floor conditions that many tropical amphibians and reptiles depend on.

Behaviour and Enrichment

The loose, fibrous texture once expanded encourages natural digging and burrowing behaviour — important for species that would naturally forage through leaf litter and soil in the wild. Providing a substrate that supports these instincts contributes directly to the animal's wellbeing.

Suitable Species and Set-Ups

• Ideal for frogs and salamanders in humid bioactive or naturalistic terrariums
• Supports burrowing reptiles and invertebrates that require a workable substrate depth
• Compatible with natural terrarium set-ups using live plants or leaf litter

A reliable, no-fuss substrate for keepers who want a natural base layer that genuinely supports their animals' environment and behaviour.
