Our take
Substrate is not just decoration: for humidity-loving species it is part of the life-support system. Eco Earth is composted coconut fibre that holds moisture well, so it keeps the humidity up for tropical geckos, snakes and frogs, and it is safe and compostable. Bricks expand in water. Match the substrate to the species, though: this is for humid setups, and a desert species on damp coconut fibre can get respiratory or scale problems, just as a tropical one on dry sand suffers.
