I tried using the bricks when I first got my frog, but I only needed like half a brick and ended up wasting a lot of it. Is it ok to store unused (but already wet) Eco Earth, say in a Ziploc bag or something for later?

I started using the bagged stuff because it was easier to just use what I needed the store the remainder for later, but the 3-pack bricks are much cheaper.

I'll not use the jungle mix. What I saw in the pet store didn't look like it had bark, but hard to tell until the bag is open lol.

Thanks!
I have stored unused substrate like that. just squeeze the majority of the moisture out and place it in the Ziploc bag. After sealed poke holes in the bag with a needle to allow air circulation to help prevent fungal growth. Always check to make sure it doesn't smell bad and shake the bag every few days to keep it mixed up. This will also prevent fungal growth. Its not foolproof, but I've had success storing what's left over this way.
