Eco-earth

[bhsurf4]

I'm sure there is a thread addressing it somewhere but I looked for a little bit then got lazy and decided to start my own. I use Aspen right now and mist to keep humidity up, but it's still lower than I think it should be (about 50%) so I was going to switch and try the eco-earth bricks that you soak in water. I'm just a little concerned that it may be too moist. I've never used it so I really don't know, but it just looks that way. Anybody have any issues using it? I watched a feeding video one time and it looked like the snake was eating a lot of the substrate along with the mouse!

I'm honestly not a fan of eco earth for snakes and this is purely my preference. I would recommend something like coco husk.

In the wild they eat dirt with meals as well so it's not really an issue unless it's enough to impact them.

I use eco earth, it works great foe humidity for me but it can get rather messy. I prefer the bagged eco earth over the bricks.

I use Eco Earth, holds humidity well. I mix it with ReptiBark though.

It really depends on the species of snake too. What kind if snake are you considering using it for?

Ive been mixing eco earth and coco soft. (Fine and chunky coconut husk)
