Forest Bark from Exo Terra

I mix this with coconut soil and sand to make a soil rather like what my python would be on if in an Indonesia forest floor.

Great for ball pythons

2 bags does a 40 gallon just fine. Wish the bigger bag was a little cheaper but when the 8qt is on sale u can get 3 bags (24 qts) for a little less than the price

BLUE TOUNGE SKINK SUBSTRATE

My BTS loves this material as a substrate. It came clean and looks great. I have been toying around with different substrates and this is its favorite by far.

Kind of like it...

I like it to the point of it's pretty and works great. I don't like that it doesn't quite hold the moisture like I had hoped.
