Great and Affordable for Ball Pythons
My ball python loves this stuff! One brick was enough for a 50 gallon enclosure, and filled about 2 inches up from the bottom. It was very easy to use as well. I love how it holds moisture to keep the humidity up in the enclosure.

Perfect
I love this stuff. It’s easy to make and it’s perfect for my ball python. He’s always so happy when I put new substrate in because it’s nice and soft and warm. There are no lumps in it. The best coconut fiber I’ve used so far. Seals in the moisture well.

Works very well
The expansion on this product is amazing. Three bricks and I got a 50 gallon tank up to about 3 inches of depth from my gecko. I also mixed in a bag, one dry coat of Repti bark. Itâs incredibly fluffy and soft after itâs all been saturated. I recommend putting it in a small tote type of container so that when it expands fully itâs not spilling out. Getting very good use out of it. I know that I wonât have to change it very often and when I do, itâs going to be cost-effective. My gecko is loving it as opposed to that bleak environment. They have to be in at the pet stores.

Crested gecko approved
I have a crested gecko and this stuff is amazing. I like it compared to other brands, it works well had holds moisture without molding. Amazon also offers great prices, whereas pet stores will charge more for this.

Comes nice and compact, and once rehydrated becomes a very decent amount of Coco mulch!
I have gotten this several times for my pet reptiles and we will continue getting this brand. It works great comes in a nice package. Very easy to use just put in a bucket add water and it starts to break down into a nice fluffy coco mulch. Smells nice and seems sterile and made in a factory and packaged with care. Very easy to clean and change out once done I just used a cup or small handheld dust pan. I love the small Blue plastic hand broom with dustpan combo works great every time. After done in my tanks with my snakes or crested geckos, I had the old Coco mulch out into my plants in the yard for secondary use. Can be used for many different purposes!

You would be amazed by the quantity youâre getting after soaking the brick in water! I find the quality very good.

This is my first time buying coco coir and using it. I was using this coco coir for seed starting and one brick took me at least 2 litres of boiling water to expand properly. I would recommend trying to get a smaller chunk of the brick if you don’t want to use a lot like others have said. No weird smells and a decent price for the amount you get. I’d buy it again.

I cut pieces of with my power saw for plant, cactus & flower pots, worm bedding, lizard bedding, TONS of uses.
A small piece expands in water quickly and retains moisture well.
Only one star off because it’s much cheaper in volume but most of us aren’t using it for high volume hydroponics/ gardening so it kind of bugs me that it’s getting so expensive and less finely chopped.
Otherwise, it’s a good product.

There are a few uses for it. Most will use it to cover a lizard cage. I like it for my soil. It breaks up the soil and keeps the moisture. This product also takes care of a couple of environmental concerns. Peet bogs are being stripped and are releasing co2. The coconut husks are a by product of the coconut industry. This helps with both problems. I just wish it were a little less expensive. But it is a very good product. I know I will buy it again.

I was impressed with this easy to use substrate. I liked it’s clean scent and affordable price. My geckos seemed to like this substrate just as much as any other brand. A very nice product at a very nice
price, from a very nice seller.
