No More Sinking tortoise
By QueenOfScales on May 25, 2020
My young rescued sulcata is splay legged and has trouble moving around . I have tried different substrates and ideas to keep her comfortable and clean. I use coco fiber but this was too loose and would just kick the dirt around and not get very far . I purchased this cypress mulch and I never seen her happier!!! Mixing these two products was just the support she needed to be able to walk around more comfortably. 100% RECCOMEND ps. I have not seen her ingest this which was my primary concern so I am pleased

Best For Skinks
By Salena on May 4, 2020
This is the best substrate I have found for my skinks. It keeps humidity well and when it drys out can be wet down for more humidity if needed without mold . Lasts for a good 4 months (when I change substrate) with only spot cleaning. I combine it with eco earth coco fiber.

Great for a Skink
By Ralph on Apr 4, 2020
I use this mulch for my blue tongue skink since the day I got them. He really likes it a lot. It's good for spot cleaning, seems good for Humanity and holding water as well. He loves to dig in it and it's safe for him. He can't swallow any of the pieces and nothing is too small that can enter his body.

Perfect for turtle
By Lori on Apr 17, 2020
Tiddles loves it, she has dug herself a bed, she lays in it with her head and all legs stretched out so I think it's safe to say she is comfortable on it

holds moisture and very soft
By Mama26kids on Dec 29, 2019 Top 250 Contributor
I got this reptile bedding mostly for my daughter's tortoise. It seems to help hold moisture better than the coco husk type bedding. No odor. The bedding is soft, even the stick like or twig like pieces break very easily. I also added it around my snakes water bowls and moisten it to help hold in moisture. It's working great. If you are worried about impaction in snakes or reptiles, you can just put this bedding in half of your tank or in the area of the tank that you don't feed your animal. The only downside is that this doesn't come in the brick form that you can moisten yourself.

Great orchid growing media
By Orchidman on Nov 28, 2019
Chewy is easy to order from and fast to deliver. I mix with 10 to 15% perlite and have a perfect orchid growing mix. Very easy to to repot with and generates roots quickly. It can last for two years or more in the pot. All pure clean cypress.

GREAT for box turtles
By Ashley on Dec 2, 2019
This Zoo Med product is an amazing substrate for my three toed box turtle. The flaked wood blend easily comes off her skin in soaks/showers, and it is perfect for her to burrow into! Great Product!

Love it!!!!!
By awesome on Oct 24, 2019
I have been using Cypress mulch for a while now. It's really nice for holding humidity and adds a nice forest/jungle substrate look. Although I don't use it for my pixie frog, I do use it for my corn snake, diamondback water snake, crested gecko and blue tongue skink and they all approved it.
