Eco Earth question
Hello!
Before I get buried alive in "Eco Earth is a bad substrate for leos" comments, let me explain. I'm making a new humid hide for my gecko and opted to fill it with Eco Earth because of how well it retains moisture (and because she loves digging). So, I bought some compressed Zoo Med bricks and made them up yesterday. I've never used it before.
My question is: does it normally smell so...foresty? My first thoughts were mould and pine. I did some Googling and read that sometimes if the package is damaged moisture gets in and it can lead to moulding, but. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
The Eco Earth is dry now but it still smells sort of musty. Or maybe that's just how it is. I dunno. Advice?
