Substrate

Is Coco coir / eco earth (humid side only) a Safe Substrate for African Fat-Tailed Geckos?

Safe substrate choice

Quick answer

Yes. Coco coir / eco earth (humid side only) is a safe substrate for African fat-tailed geckos. Holds moisture well and is soft to dig in.

Holds moisture well and is soft to dig in. Use as a layer on the humid side or inside the humid hide, and keep the rest of the floor drier. Fine, dusty coir is a potential impaction risk when a gecko strikes at feeders, so feed on a bare surface or in a dish.
