Review: Fantastic Product! - This review is more from our snake than us... We love the color, and how it really shows off our Jungle Carpet Python's colors! We also love how it holds moisture far, far better than Aspen. From Xena's perspective, she loves the fact that she can cover up her waste (she's very discreet for a snake, lol). She also loves the way it feels on her scales. She hasn't been able to tell us this, but when we had Aspen substrate, she hardly ever touched the ground. We did a 1/2 and 1/2, and she would curl up on the Coconut Fiber side, and didn't touch the Aspen. Now we're completely switched to Coconut, and she moves around her cage spending almost equal amounts of time on the ground and above it. :) We have bought two bags so far, and that has been enough to do four complete cleanouts of her 75 gallon tank, and replace what we used for general maintenance in between complete cleanouts. My only recommendation is that before you put the substrate down, you put some reptile carpet down first. We have it on the bottom of the tank, with the substrate on top. It helps keep the substrate from being pushed around too much and uncovering the floor, and it also makes it sssooo much easier to clean! We just grab the corners, pick it up, and shake it into a garbage bag. Then we rinse the carpet off, put it back in the tank, and put clean substrate down. It's cut our tank-cleaning time in half.
Review: Amazing, not messy, and easy to use. - I bought this for my pet frog and it's by far the best coconut fiber I've found so far. You do not need to wet it, it doesn't need to be expanded, and it is incredibly easy to use and isn't hard or chunky at all. It's soft and perfect for my frog's terrarium. I assume it's best in cases where you put moss over it though, since I think a small animal could crawl under it (cricket, frog, etc.) but I wouldn't know since I always put moss on top. Overall, amazing product and perfect!

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Substrate! Great Deal Getting The Larger Quantity!
*by T***R on April 7, 2025*

We have a leopard gecko in a 20 gallon enclosure with a number of hides and items for stimulation. After a lot of research we have settled on using this substrate as it is natural and very gentle on our little reptile. The material is easy to pour out and doesn't create clouds of dust. It is also easy to scoop for maintenance between heavy cleanings. This bags is about 3 times the quantity of what we were previously buying locally for about 2/3 the price - basically we get a bag free! Strongly recommend this substrate for reptiles and this larger bag for the economics!
