Directions: Instructions Pour Zoo Med’s Eco Earth into the enclosure to the desired depth. For burrowing tortoises, terrestrial turtles and toads we recommend a depth 1.5 to 2 time the height of your animal. If your tortoise is 4” tall, you would add 6” of eco earth. This provides your reptiles/amphibians with enough substrate material to create natural burrows or “microclimates” which is critical to the health of many humidity loving reptiles and amphibians. Cork Bark pieces are an excellent decorative element to add on top of your Eco Earth substrate and function as roofs for microclimate caves. Maintenance Mist your Eco Earth daily to achieve the desired humidity level in your enclosure. Check your humidity gauge to confirm that you have the correct humidity level for the species you are keeping. It helps to partially cover the top of your terrarium with glass to increase humidity levels. Cleaning Spot clean as needed. If a foul odor persists then remove all Eco Earth and replace. Changing all of your animals in your enclosure but we recommend changing 100% every 6 months at minimum.
