Bringing the tortoises in for the winter is never pleasant for them so I wanted to make their bedding enjoyable at least. I ordered 10 bags thinking it would never be enough but their 5'X6' indoor enclosure only took 5 bags! The husk is on the softer side, which I liked, and oddly enough seems to clump their droppings like cat litter! I love this stuff!

I got this to use for my ball python. I had noticed that the coco fiber I was using was getting stuck in his mouth and heat pits. I have been using this substrate for a couple months now and it hasn't gotten in his mouth or heat pits at all. Plus, it doesn't get buried in the carpet. Also, if you end up buying a brick it isn't as much of a soggy mess. My gray tree frogs also love this!

I purchased this product for my juvenile ornate box turtle. I lined it his terrarium about 3 in deep with this product. He is loving it! He is able to burrow down very well in it, and I can mist it and it is holding some humidity in the enclosure. I'm very happy with it. The bag was a very good size for the price, and was more than enough for him.

This is the best bedding. I use it for almost all of my reptiles. Great moisture keeper.

I have outdoor tortoises. I have used coconut core in the past which does work good but it holds in the urine smell more so this works better

I love the smell and color of this bedding. It definitely makes my snake cages look better. However, i got this to help raise humidity and it is not very good at doing that.

This is a good substrate for my hermit crabs, they like to bury themselves in it. I mix it with eco earth so they have different textures to experience.

I hope Chewy gets this stuff back in stock in the bigger bags. Its just the chips, as opposed to the compressed bricks that have a lot of smaller bits and dust. Very clean substrate and holds humidity well. Would highly recommend.

Holds moisture! A little big for my tiny tortoise, but I have other reptiles that can use it.

I got tired of buying this from a pet store every month for three times the price. Fantastic quality, and super absorbent. I will never buy this anywhere else!!
