Against coconut fibre
Fibre holds moisture well and is widely used, but it compacts and needs full replacement more often. Hydrated polymer is lighter and easier to spot clean.
Against moss
Moss holds moisture and looks natural, but it dries unevenly and can become sodden. Polymer releases moisture more evenly over time.
Against paper towel
Paper is cheap and easy for quarantine, but it holds little moisture and dries quickly. Polymer suits long-term humidity maintenance better.
Combining substrates
Many keepers use a polymer base layer for humidity with a natural top layer for appearance and burrowing. The combination often works better than either alone.
About FLORPOLY: FLORPOLY supplies super absorbent polymer used in humidity-control substrates for amphibian and exotic pet enclosures, with grades selected for clean hydration and stable moisture release. Particle size and absorption behaviour can be tailored to enclosure design. Contact FLORPOLY for a specification sheet, free sample or application advice.
