Review: ReptiChip Coconut Chip Bedding: A Comfortable Retreat for Ball Pythons - I recently switched to ReptiChip Loose Coconut Chip Bedding for my ball python enclosure, and I am genuinely pleased with the results. This 36-quart Coco Husk Substrate has proven to be a fantastic choice for creating a comfortable and natural environment for my reptile companion. Natural and Safe Material: The use of coconut husk as the primary material for this bedding is a significant highlight. It's a natural and safe substrate closely mimics the reptile's natural habitat. I appreciate the commitment to providing an environment that supports the well-being of my ball python. Excellent Moisture Retention: ReptiChip excels in moisture retention, creating an environment with optimal humidity levels for my ball python. This is crucial for shedding and overall hydration. The coconut chip bedding maintains moisture without becoming excessively damp, striking a perfect balance. Odor Control: One of the standout features of ReptiChip is its effectiveness in odor control. The coconut husk naturally helps absorb and neutralize odors, creating a more pleasant living space for my ball python. This has significantly improved the overall enclosure maintenance. Easy to Spot Clean: The loose texture of the coconut chips makes spot cleaning a breeze. It's easy to identify and remove soiled areas, maintaining my reptile's clean and hygienic living space. The substrate's consistency also allows for easy reshaping and restructuring as needed. Versatile for Burrowing: Ball pythons are known for their burrowing behavior, and ReptiChip caters perfectly to this instinct. The loose coconut chip bedding allows my ball python to engage in natural behaviors, creating tunnels and hiding spots for enrichment. Packaging and Quantity: The 36 Quart packaging is generous, providing sufficient substrate to cover the enclosure adequately. It's a cost-effective option that ensures I have an ample supply for regular substrate changes and maintenance. In conclusion, ReptiChip Loose Coconut Chip Bedding has proven to be an excellent choice for my ball python's substrate needs.

I highly recommend ReptiChip to reptile enthusiasts looking for a high-quality and reptile-friendly substrate for their enclosures.
Review: Great for holding humidity! My ball python seems happy! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 12quart bag big enough for a 40 gallon terrarium?**
A: It would depend on how deep you want to layer it. Will it be used for a nesting python, just an all out substrate, etc. Rule of thumb, after hydrating the original bag, you should achieve double the capacity, if not almost 3 times expansion. There are great demonstration videos on YouTube, I would highly recommend you check a few of them out. The coconut husk stores well in those sealing lid, stackable storage containers like you would find in your local wholesale club or discount stores!!! Good luck all the way around!!! Go reptiles!!!

**Q: I’ve heard this is one of the best substrates for reptiles; however I have a sensitivity to coconut smells and am wondering how strong the scent is?**
A: It doesn't have a strong scent at all. Maybe a little "earthy", but it doesn't smell of coconut at all.

**Q: What size bag would be good for a 4x2x2?**
A: By jackie on March 15, 2023

**Q: Do I use it dry for a ball python?**
A: It needs to be dampened to keep humidity up.
