Review: Working well with our Russian tortoise - far less dusty than coconut coir - For many years I have been using coconut coir as a substrate for our Russian tortoise. Whilst he loved it the downside is that over time it becomes very powdery. Ok you can mist it with water but under the heat lamp it soon dries out in a few hours. I found that the coconut powder sticks to his food but worst of all it creates plumes of dust that cover every surface in the room. I literally had to wipe every surface on a daily basis. So I decided to give this Zoo Med Forest Floor Bedding a try. At first he did not like walking on it as it must feel different to the coconut shells but soon he got used to it. I have been using it for about two months and the dust has been substantially reduced and it does not stick to his food so easily. My Russian tortoise doses not need a high humidity so misting it is not needed to be done very often but when I have then I have found it retains moisture well. Again holding some moisture reduces the dust generated. So overall I am happy using it and have already ordered a second bag of Zoo Med Forest Floor Bedding.
Review: great value - buy it all the time for the tortoises. Really good quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can horsefields have this?**
A: i wouldnt no. red footed tortoises need more humidity as they need a vivarum as there habitat. horsefields dont like humidity hense being kept in a tortoise table with open top so this releases the humidity . i use sand and pallets as substrate as thats what we were recommended by the breeder. hope this helps

**Q: would this be safe to mix through bedding for a Syrian hamster?**
A: I would think it might be a little sharp and rough to do that. I use for a tortoise

**Q: I have a Royal Python and wondered if this would be good to sub stain a good humidity?**
A: Our Royal Python has been happy with this for a while :-)

**Q: Would this be good for a false water cobra**
A: This would be a suitable substrate. It would replicate the natural environment these Snakes are often found in.
