Coconut husk

[lougotzz]

Is it alright to keep BCI's on coconut husk?

Specifically this:

Exo Terra : Plantation Soil - Brick / Tropical Terrarium Substrate

Certainly, it's not as easy to clean as newspaper but sure looks a lot better, just don't wet it to much

Thanks. And is it okay for BRBS as well?

i use coco husk for my BCI, works great - I prefer coir for my CRB as it maintains humidity for a bit longer and allows for better burrowing

Okay great. I already have the husk so I'll use it up and switch to coir when the time comes.

Thanks guys.

How does sand/soil or sand/coco fiber work with boas?

both work great, both provide excellent humidity control, soil is more useful for bio-active setups, particularly with plants, as coir/coco is relatively sterile in comparison so doesn't provide many nutrients for the plants or as much food for cleaner crews to become established quickly

Newbie question!

On their website there wasn't any place to order this substrate. Am I missing something or can you just not order it off their site?
