Perfect for plants!
I have a large collection of Hoyas and while I’ve used orchid bark in my substrate for years, I have come to prefer coco husk much more, as it’s easier to shred, more light weight, and airy. I combine it with a small amount of potting soil, perlite and charcoal for a perfect mix. I got the 7.2 bag, NOT the compressed packaging. The bag came packed full to the top, so it will last me a very long time. It’s clean, with no smell, it’s easy to shred into small pieces and there are no random rocks or sticks like I often find with orchid bark mixes. It’s a great value and I recommend.

Great Substrate for Tropical Critters!
This product is amazing. I am so glad that Amazon had it as an ADD ON for my order for only about $4 per bag. My local pet shop wanted $16 per bag. This is a very nice substrate for all of your rainforest friends. All natural coconut husk chunks. No dust and no smell. It is perfect for my Monkey Tail Skink. Keeps in the humidity she needs to stay healthy.

About 3 inches thick in a 10 gallon tank
Good quality, “mulchy” texture. It retains moisture very well, and all you have to do is shuffle it around to “refresh it” after cleaning. I have a 10-gallon tank for one toad, and he loves to dig himself into this stuff. It’s about 3 inches thick if you pour the whole bag into a 10-gallon tank.

A bit coarsely cut for my needs since I thought …
A bit coarsely cut for my needs since I thought it would be more finely chopped.It did’d really affected the humidity in my terrarium. I used to use sand for my tarantula and the husk only eleveted the humidity leel by 5-10%.On the other hand the spider seems to prefer the husk and spends much more time on it than on the sand. So, the overall score is positive!

Keeps soil good and moist
This is 5 stars because the product is very useful, soft for reptiles if thatâs what your using it for, keeps the ground moist and the air humidity level for the most part, and is overall a very functional and natural look in a terrarium. However I would 100% NOT recommend this for ball pythons, or any other snake for that matter because the first time I fed my snake in her new enclosure using this substrate, she missed her food and ended up choking on a piece of this- I had to use tweezers to get it out of her mouth which was probably extremely stressful and terrible that I had to remove her from her tank while eating. Great for reptiles that wouldnât mistake this for food though!

Best one you can get
I use it in all my ball python enclosures. This is my third bag. Literally perfect for ball pythons and cleans effortlessly plus the price is affordable. Each bag fills my 10 gal and a 25 gal extoterra

I love this stuff for my ball python
I love this stuff for my ball python.. she loves it.. and then I started using it in my winter quarters for my leopard torts.. they love to nestle in it..easy to use.. helps keep humidity up in the tanks.. and easy to clean out ..dump.. get new stuff.. haven’t had a problem with smell or mildew and I keep the tank fairly high in humidity for the python.. (60 to 80 at any given time)

Use for a dry layer on top of the bricks that are soaked for my ball python viv. Holds moisture for humidity well. There are cheaper versions but this is triple heat treated so a no brainer!
