Riare Natural Coconut Chip Substrate for Reptiles- Compressed Coconut Husk Reptiles Bedding, Coco Husk Chip Terrarium Substrate for Snakes, Tortoises, Ball Python, Frogs (2 Pack)

Really pleased with the quality of this substrate. Comes in compact blocks and expands once water is added. Works out much cheaper than buying the bags of substrate at the pet shop! Feels soft and is going to make a really nice natural floor to our snakes vivarium. Photo shows one block broken up in a washing up bowl to give an idea of how much you get from just one block

Used this in my royal pyhtons vivarium. 2 blocks filled the Viv which is 3ft by 2ft also mixed in some soil and a clay ball layer. Good quality and good value for money. Easy to use I used a large bucket soaked it in water then lay it all out to dry out over a few days in the sun. Make a natural looking vivarium and holds humidity

This is my all-time favourite substrate for my snake. I use two blocks plus a bag of coco soil to fill an XL vivarium, and it’s become a regular repeat purchase. It smells great, holds humidity well, and the texture gives that natural forest-floor feel that works beautifully for a range of reptiles. My only note is that the 8x expansion is a bit generous — once hydrated, I’d say it’s closer to 4/5/6x. That said, I actually prefer the compact blocks over giant bags — they’re much easier to store and simple to expand when needed.

Its good and expands pepper, snakes love it but it takes an absolute age to dry. Cooked it on 80⁰ for hours and its still wet 😭

Well packaged very quick postage happy and very good quality

Fantastic. Bought it for my ball pythons vivarium, got Coco mulch underneath that. It holds water so well, is quite large and stringy so she won't swallow it, but also soft for her to slither over. Sent my humidity from 50% to 60% so I'm happy 😁 You also get a lot, 2 blocks covered my 4 by 2 foot viv with a good 1 inch layer 👍

I used in my plant mix for airflow. Did great job. All my fungus gnats were gone. This summer did not have a single gnat in my plant.I am going to try in poles instead of moss.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Great for our skink, used one packet for a 4x2x2 with organic top soil. I found the best way to do it was buy a washing up basin that has a drainer plug in it then the excess water drains out without losing product
