The material is highly absorbent (holds up to 8 times its dry weight in water!) and retains that moisture well, releasing it slowly to create a humid, tropical environment perfect for a variety of different reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis substrate works well as a stand-alone substrate for humidity-loving species and for humid microclimates, but can also be used in bioactive substrates. When mixed into a bioactive soil mixture, the coarse pieces increase aeration, resist compaction, and allow for drainage which are all beneficial factors in supporting live plant growth and clean-up-crew health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoconut Chips are long-lasting and naturally mold-resistant, so you won’t need to change or replace them frequently.
