ReptiChip Reptile Substrate Coconut Chip Bedding 72 Quart Compressed Organic Coco Husk Block for Snake Habitat, Ball Python Terrarium, Turtle Tanks, Tortoise Enclosure

Works great for my ball pythons. Holds enough moisture without molding, and rough enough for them to easily get their sheds off in one piece. If you're getting it for the first time it might not look like a whole lot but once you start breaking the block apart it expands a LOT. Some bags I've noticed can be pretty dusty so maybe take it apart somewhere with decent airflow or wear a mask to protect your lungs. Or be like me and deal with 5-10 minutes of non-stop sneezing and wheezing... (Don't be like me.)This stuff lasts me a good while, it's easy to clean, easy to store (I have a tote I bought from Walmart that holds it all just fine) it's chunks so it doesn't really stick to itself so if your snake likes to burrow this might not be up to their liking. I've personally never had an issue with any of my snakes eating it or getting hurt by it, no blockages or anything of the sort.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:👌Color:😎👌

Snakes love it. Won’t use anything else now

When he's happy, I'm happy! I did not expect this to be SO much volume. I struggled using it at first but then I read the instructions and realized how easy it is to use. This has really helped keep in the moisture for my noodle.

I have a juvenile Northern Blue Tongue Skink so she needs her climate to be less humid but still good for burrowing, I had reptiBark in there (and it still kind of is) but it was very dusty and has a strong smell to it, especially when wet (and even more stinky with urate and feces) so I bought coconut chips since I heard it's better for odor control and still moderates humidity well with low dust.I love it. In one of my photos you can see I have the bottom 2" with reptiBark, since it was still new and clean I left it in to add depth for burrowing, and the top inch or so is this coconut reptiChip. In other places in her enclosure I have deeper chip levels for enrichment. So far there is no strong odor, I saw almost no dust pouring it in, and it covers well. I haven't even used a quarter of the bag and it's covered 1-2" all over my 40 gallon breeder tank (36x16 in). She was hiding under her cork bark log but came out shortly after to dig in the deeper reptiChip layer on the other side. She clearly likes it too!My only concern is that as I was pulling it out of the bag and sprinkling it around there were some sharp pieces, not sure if it was the rigid fibers or what. Probably won't hurt anything but I'll be mindful if I let her hunt in her tank that she doesn't swallow any substrate.For anyone wondering what else is in this setup I have some ZooMed real moss ($5 Amazon), a ZooMed dual dome light with one side a 5.0 UVB and the other has a basking bulb for bearded dragons (only way I could achieve 95-105F on the warm side), this lamp is attached with a $10 lamp stand I got on Amazon, a large trunk hide I got at PetSmart for $15, Cork Bark from ZooMed (on Amazon $15), fake ivy vine (Amazon, $10 Flukers brand), a brick from Lowe's ($2, sanitized before placing, for nail filing and climbing), a 6x6" flat tile (Lowe's, $1) for basking/ambient belly heat, some air plants ($12 on Amazon), I have an under the tank heater but it's small (only for up to 20 gallons but I only wanted a small section in the middle of the tank to stay warm in case she needs to heat at night when the lights are off) that was $20 ZooMed brand bought on Amazon, and a glass Pyrex water dish that will be replaced with a reptile bowl soon. Keeping things simple for now since she's young and still adjusting but I think the bases are covered.Hope this helps!

Works well, love this substrate! Doesn’t smell bad either. Holds humidity really well. It does have a hard time soaking up water and expanding if you aren’t using a watering hose. My little House Snake LOVES to burrow in this.

Wish I used this stuff along time ago much better for my ball pythons no more dirt In there mouth. It holds humidity good. Size of chunks are perfect makes it easy to clean the enclosures. Made a lot for one brick was easy to break up just spray water here and there and mix it with your hands lightweight and has nice color

This stuff has a great smell and works well in both my kids terrarium. We have a red footed tortoise and a ball python. It soaks up their poop good and makes for easy cleaning. Very little dust remains when cleaning out the terrariums. Much cheaper than buying at the local reptile store. The bag is packed so tight and compacted that one of these will last you a long time. Will continue buying on Amazon for as long as we have the pets!
