Our Coco Bricks are a rich and versatile substrate, ideal for forest enclosures. It comes compressed to a single or triple pack brick, and just needs soaking in water to create the perfect habitat for your reptiles and amphibians.
Swell Reptiles Coco Brick comes as a 650g brick, in a single or triple pack, and can be used for any rainforest set-up, including frogs, geckos and any other species whose natural habitat is in the rainforest.
Alternatively, the loose Coco Soil can be mixed with a sand product to create the ideal environment for digging species like monitors and that's not everything - Coco Soil can also be harnessed in an eco-environment to help your bio-active clean-up crew thrive.
The coco soil is compressed into a neat brick, and just needs to be soaked in water to loose this for use. Around 8l per 650g brick is usually sufficient, though this can be made more dry/wet using less/more water as needed. To use, simply settle the soil in the vivarium or terrarium, no need for adding any water, unless you wish to increase the humidity.
If you want to utilise this soil in a drainage eco system, it is best used with a drainage layer initially, then a layer of drainage mesh, before putting the soil on the top. This means you can create a water reservoir under the soil which will constantly supply the soil with water and keep it moist, helping with humidity, whilst not allowing the soil to become water logged.
