- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Size: 1 Breeder BlockVerified PurchaseLasts forever, mold/mildew resistant, smells nice, easy to use, and my python seems to love it. I keep a few of these on hand and one block fills a massive enclosure. Highly recommended for snakes. Just make sure any prey items don’t get substrate stuck to them and you’re golden.

It holds humidity good. Size of chunks are perfect makes it easy to clean the enclosures. Made a lot for one brick was easy to break up just spray water here and there and mix it with your hands lightweight and has nice color
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024Size: 1 Breeder BlockVerified PurchaseWorks really well for keeping the humidity up in my ball pythons tank. I did bake it to kill off any bugs that might be present because of the other reviews. I did not see any mites when I was baking it, but better to be safe. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because there were some plastic pieces and rocks inside. Not too many, but still kind of scary.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2025Size: 1 Breeder BlockVerified PurchaseSmaller chunks than Freedom Breeders Coco Blox but Reptichip doesn’t mold out in my experience. Great product overall. Fast shipping too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025Size: 1 Breeder BlockVerified PurchaseIn my personal opinion this product works better than any other bedding i have tried for my snakes. This is the best for maintaining humidity without mold or mildew.

- TheNamelessReviewerReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Substrate
Size: 1 Breeder BlockVerified PurchaseA little expensive (though understandable given the quality) and rather slow delivery (though as it comes from the US rather than the UK, also understandable!) But all in all this stuff is great.
I was able to make the batch up a couple days ago and after storing in a reasonably sized storage container, this stuff is said to last indefinitely and not mold as long as you mix it about every few days.
It feels and smells extremely clean and isn't dusty, doesn't give splinters and is relatively simple to make though I'd advise having a 50L storage box on hand and making it all at the same time.
No instructions on how much water to add but I've found if you tear open the bag and add the water straight into it that seems to work! Absorbs water AMAZINGLY and easy to control the amount of water you add too. I was worried that it would up the humidity in my corn snake vivarium to 100% (as I've used a different brand before that did so) but it was very easy to make it expand but also not be sopping wet.
Also brilliant for ball python vivariums too (the reason I bought it in the first place) as you can add as much water as you need and it'll keep on absorbing.
A lot of waffle in the end from me but if there's one take away, it's that this stuff is the good stuff and if the delivery wasn't so slow I'd probably make it my normal brand!
