5.0 out of 5 stars Large amount perfect for terrarium
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
So pros on this bedding is that it's super absorbent, increases the humidity of the tank, and easy to clean. The main con is that if you don't have water available then this stuff is an absolute pain in the tailbone to remove! This is what Michelangelo must've felt like while chiseling away to create his famous David sculpture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge Help With Humidity
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
I have only had this product a few days and it is amazing! I have two ball pythons. Each one is in an enclosure about 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet tall. I have humidifiers set up for both as they are a reptile that enjoys higher humidity and struggled to keep it at 50% humidity in the cage. On top of this I was refilling the humidifiers every two or three days. Since covering half of the enclosure floor with this substrate I am easily maintaining a humidity of 60% and have yet to refill the humidifiers (its been 3 days). This product is easy to rehydrate and works wonders. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for potting mix
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023
My photo I added is the product mixed in with other things to make a potting mix, but I also showed some pieces of it separate in the second photo. It’s been handy to get coco chips that aren’t uniform I’m size to allow for better drainage. It’s comes as massive block, so I’ve just been breaking off bits as needed and I haven’t even made a dent making a batch of potting mix (normally I’d have used half my supplies). It’s definitely worth the money and will last me a very long time). I’d imagine, if you use this with reptiles, it’d look nice and natural and it’s lightweight which is probably good for moving through. I really like how there’s some strands of coco husk (maybe?) in here as well. I like the look and consistency that it gives and how easy it is to blend sizes of amendments in my potting mix with this. I have also just noticed that coco husk/chips tend not to get mold the way that bark does, I assume it’s just more airy but either way it’s been great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024
I use this in my ball python enclosure and it works very well at holding humidity for a long time. No mold growth so far. Chips are not sharp so you don't need to worry about splinters like other reptile bedding. Shipping was quick but box was very heavy if you buy 3. One bag fills up a 4x2x2. You will find some plastic pieces here and there but no biggie

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
I have been raising snakes a lot of my life and I have always gotten bad advise on keeping humidity stable in a tank. A friend recommended this product to me because two of my snakes were having rough sheds. When I received the package I was convinced I had not bought enough for 3 tanks. Followed the instructions given to me both by my friend and their website, and was shocked how much the substrate grew once water was added. More than enough to replace the substrate in 3 tanks. You can visibly see that the substrate is humid without it feeling soggy or potentially harmful. Time will tell I suppose but already feel the quality was far superior than anything I've ever used. Kudos!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to separate the condensed block
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023
It took me a half hour to separate the very compact pack. Great value and our Russian tortoise can burrow more- 1 block for a 50 gallon tank. Clean- unlike the other reptile bark that puts red soot all over the area. Looks good!

5.0 out of 5 stars We love this substrate!
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024
I purchased this for my ball python to help maintain humidity easier in his home. It absorbs water really well and worked great to keep the humidity and temperature more stable. I purchased the 72qt "breeder block" and have a 40g terrarium with front opening doors. I only used about 1/4 of the block and when mixed with a bit of coco soil and sphagnum moss it covered the bottom of the enclosure with about 4 inches of substrate. I did not freeze or bake to prepare for my BP. I also did not find any plastic or mold like others have stated.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST reptile substrate
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018
I have been using eco earth for awhile for my ball pythons and blue tongue skink. However, a few months back I attempted to use the zoo med forest floor bedding mixed with eco earth and all of my reptiles contracted mites from it that wouldn’t go away for months.

This is the first substrate my reptiles have been put on since having a mite infestation and I cannot day enough good things about it. Since I have reptiles that need a higher humidity, this substrate was perfect! It held a very high humidity for about a WEEK after I put it into their enclosures! I now have to spray it about once a day in order to keep the humidity high enough, but that is still much less than I would have to do if my reptiles were still on eco earth. My reptiles absolutely love this bedding as do I. It provides a nice smell, great texture, and is not dusty. The substrate was very easy to expand as well and makes a LOT of product for a great price. I would spend much more on eco earth trying to fill all of my enclosures when this one block filled both of my 20 gallons, and my over five foot vision cage. I HIGHLY recommend this product to reptile keepers, especially if you struggle with keeping humidity up. This was my first time purchasing this and I will be buying this from now on!
