Love this product. Keeps the humidity up great in my enclosures and haven’t had a bad shed since switching.

I've found that this stuff is the gold standard for ball python keeping! My rescue came to me with a tank of fresh eco earth, which is coconut fiber. It's not harmful necessarily, but it made me feel bad for him when his dinner came with a mouthful of eco earth. He also rubbed his head in it once & I thought I'd have to intervene to clear his heat pits. Well, reptichip eliminated all those worries! It's very soft but not so soft that it creates dust. I never worry about him getting it stuck in his mouth or heat pits. It holds moisture excellently! I can pour a cup or 2 of water directly on it & his humidity will be set for a few days. The only downside to this is that liquid that comes out during potty time is rapidly & widely absorbed. No biggie, just annoying to have to throw out that much when there's an incident. It hides the smell great, but it's not healthy to leave soiled substrate in their home. I will say that this package (the loose bag, not the block) filled up my 25 gallon zoo med enclosure well & it's held up great since most of his potty incidents happen inside his rock lair hide, so the reptichip stays pretty clean! My pretty boy may have earned his name (Kyle) but he's a pretty good little dude. When it's time to change again, I'll know exactly what to order! Thank you for this superior product!

Excellent each time. Great product.

My ball python does best in this bedding

It’s for my snakes to poo poo in. They do a good job of that. I think the husks hold humidity alright and doesn’t really break down.

Love this for my orchids and potting mixes. This is real chips and not the hard brick. I've used both and prefer the chips. The hard brick is very difficult to break apart, and when you get it broken apart, it is mostly fiber and not good sized chips. The fiber is probably better for reptiles; however, for my plants I prefer these chips.

Great product!
