Jungle jag want to use coco fibre with sea water

[whytwolf]

Hi all:

Was wondering if i can use the coco fibre that i already had mixed for my mum's hermit crabs. The fibre was mixed using "sea water" mixture of dechlorinated water and crab salt. The fibre is NOT wet - it has dried.

Would it be okay to use it in my jungle jags tank as substrate - he's getting ready to go into a shed.....

thanks for any help

cheers

I wouldn't, salt can be very drying and I'm sure it won't help with his shed.

I don't think it will cause a problem, I would be sure mangrove snakes deal with it in the wild.

I agree its best to not to use it combined with the moisture adsorption capabilities of coco peat and salt it would be to risky IMO for a Morelia. At $3/brick from Bunnings just get a new one and throw the old out. Or better yet try hemp or aspen shavings (not chips) as they are both great

Your jungle jag is worth how much?
New substrate is worth how much?
Risk is larger than zero

Easy answer I reckon
