    It is ok, all substrates have their pluses and minuses. can you give us some more info on your set up?

    Cage type/size

    Heat sources

    Temperatures/humidity

    How you are measuring temperatures/humidity.

    75 gallon tank

    lamp, clay light

    i keep the very right in the 90es the mid of the tank 87 and the dry/cool side around 78

    the hot side is the side i keep humid try to keep the lvls around 44-50 percent.

    I was told i need to replace all the eco earth every 4 to 6 weeks, i dont mind doing it just with a 75 gallon tank it will be a chor lol

    It wasn't my favorite. Like serpmerch said every substrate has its positives and negatives. You have to find out what's works best for you and your set up, also personal preference. Right now I'm using aspen and it works great for me.

    I am a news print guy. yeah you have to change it more often than just spot cleaning aspen or w/e but its quick and easy. pick it up, wipe, spray, wipe, put new down 30 seconds and you are done. I feed f/t mostly so no bedding gettin eaten which is a plus also very cheap if not free when you are dealing with just 1 or 2 setups.
