ECO Earth

I'm thinking about using Eco Earth on my BCI, BRB and Ball Python.

From what I have read this will be fine. Anyone know any pros or cons on using this on these three animal ?

I like kritters crumble better for a coco husk bedding. I've found that Eco earth molds fast in high humidity.

I use eco earth, no problems, as long as it's kept kinda damp. Otherwise it gets dusty.

That sounds fine, my main reason is for my BRB when it gets a little older. I want to give him a semi natural Viv with the possibility of live plants.

I've found that the best thing to do with EcoEarth is to let it go through cycles. Let it dry out a bit, and then re-wet it again. I haven't had a problem with mildew with this method. But, don't let it stay dry for too long, as infernalis said, it gets dusty.

It's a little bit more difficult to spot-clean, so you'll have to dig around, especially if it's a few inches deep.

I use eco earth with my BRB,
& no problems, I think it likes it alot better
Especially to burrow in..
Plus it gives a nice back ground.

eco earth is okay although it does get very dusty after a few weeks, sometimes less. I prefer using soil from a garden centre as long as its got no fertilizer in it its okay. and remember if you wanted to add live plants you need a uv light.
