Review: Exceptional Substrate! Great Deal Getting The Larger Quantity! - 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!
Review: I wouldn't trade it for any other - This is the only stuff my snake likes. She hates everything else. In this stuff, she digs around and looks happy as a clam... sticking out her little tounge, eyes sparkling with wonder. So cute. It's very soft, easy to clean out dirty patches, and can be sifted in a basic cleaner with ease. Not too dusty, it's heavy enough to stay down rather than float around the room. No allergies with this stuff, doesn't irritate my sensitive nose, even when cleaning it. It doesn't hold humidity very well- but I tried coco husk from zoo med as well, the kind you literally soak to bring to life, and there was no change in humidity. Nothing beats a big water dish and a towel a for a very effective at keeping the humidity in snake comfort range (40%-60%). The snake likes it nice and deep- usually a lot of the bag is needed. But this is a really great price that no pet store can beat. tl;dr Pros: Light, soft, easy to clean, snakes love it, I love it, no allergies, cheap Cons: Need a lot, doesn't increase humidity (But I haven't found any others that don't have that problem so I won't take off a star.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for frogs and toads! Much better than the bricks
*by L***4 on August 20, 2022*

This is my first time using loose coco substrate and I found it a million times better than the coco bricks I used to buy from Exo Terra. I love that I can just pour it in without the mess and hassle of soaking and breaking apart the bricks. What makes this especially great for frogs is there is not a ridiculous amount of coco string in it. The large amounts of coco string from the bricks would stick to my frogs sticky skin so badly, they looked like they had little fur coats on. I would have to separate out a lot of the string so they wouldn't constantly be covered in it, but with this there is just the right amount of coco string in it. It is very soft with no random sharp chunks like I've found previously with the bricks, which saves me the trouble of hand picking out the chunks so my toads can burrow safely. The only con I see so far is the bag is not resealable so if you're planning on keeping this for multiple changes keep in mind you'll have to tape it closed.
