Reptile Compressed Coconut Chip Substrate

This a great quality bedding for reptiles, I use it for my snake. The contrast of color makes it easy to clean up waste and shedding. It's a bit tough and sharp to break up by hand, so use a tool or break up the whole bag and store it ahead of time.

A little really goes a long way! I use for my ball python and she loves it. It lasts a long time. The size is definitely worth the money! READ the directions on how to properly use! These are thick (like woodchips) but not hard at all. They’re absorbent so it’s easy to clean everything comes out together

Big brick it split my tote. Lol

It's exactly what I ordered

Good quality

look good, no bad smell. these are chips so they will not mix into sand/dirt the way coconut fiber does. they do create a nice appearance on top of other substrates and retain more moisture than dirt alone. i bought to use with hermit crabs and lizards. i have not been as happy with this in the hermit crab habitat or monitor enclosure, but it is great in the tropical habitat of my water dragon. they could also be useful in plant pots or creating a layer below in-ground plants to allow for better drainage. the are holding up well to high moisture levels. this size block yields about a 3 gallon bucket of chips.

My usual brand had been sold out when I went to buy fresh substrate for my 3 ball python tanks, so I decided to give this a go and take chunks from the block as I cleaned each tank. Very glad I did as I found two rocks and a number of trash (nylon, ties, weird plastic stuff) as I sifted through. The substrate itself is fine, nice big chunks with little dust, but the amount of junk I saw while going through it makes me uneasy about its cleanliness, especially with mites... I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the weird garbage inside, especially since it was the perfect amount for 3 tanks (30ish gallons each, my girls are pretty young atm). UPDATE: Within 3 weeks of the new substrate, one of my snakes got scale rot all along her sides and belly. I regularly spot clean and she's never had any issues. She's been stuck in a sad quarantine enclosure for a month now since I'm waiting for her to shed again. She had a shed about a week or two on the new substrate, so take that as you will... she's been super stressed because the blisters hurt and it took me two weeks to get her somewhat comfortable. I should've trusted my gut when I saw the trash inside :( Safe to say I'll never buy this or any other substrate from this company again. Super disappointing and irritating.

Bought this as a substrate for a ball python in a 40 gallon breeder tank. First of all, there was more than enough to give several inches of cover on the bottom of her tank. It was very compressed, and I had to pretty much break it off in chunks. It looks to be good quality and free from foreign objects and pests. After hydrating, it broke apart much more easily and looked great! However, our BP is a princess and hated it. She refused to move or go into her hide and hid in a corner for three days. We ended up having to mix coconut fiber in with the husk like we have in the past and then she was just fine. Alone, it does not hold moisture well or for very long but mixing in the coconut fiber refit helps with that. I highly recommend this substrate for quality, value for your money, and asthetics.
