This is the exact bedding/substrate that we use for our higher humidity type tortoises (redfoots, yellowfoots, Burmese mountain tortoises, and other exotics) to raise them as babies. We also use it in our humid hideboxes for our dry climate species. It is a 100% natural coconut substrate that is very fine, and has several benefits including:

-Holds nearly 10 times its weight in water
-Remains loose and doesn't clump to itself
-Mildly acidic to resist molds and mildew
-Much more absorbent than almost any other substrate
-Non toxic and harmless if ingested
-No oils, chemicals, additives - just pure coconut
-Biodegradable, renewable and safe for gardens after use
-Absorbs waste and ammonia to fight odors.
-Clumps around pet waste for easy removal
-Use dry, moist or soaking wet, depending on your needs
-Safe for all animals; reptiles, amphibians, inverts, rodents, etc.

No more soaking compressed bricks and the mess and work associated with them. This product comes in a ready to use 20qt bag, which weighs around 5 pounds dry.

We have our coconut substrate pre-boxed, ready to go, and ships the first business day after purchase.
