Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Little Goes a Long Way — Perfect for My Jumping Spider - I’m really happy with this bedding. A tiny bit goes a super long way, which makes it great value. It keeps my jumping spider’s enclosure at a steady, comfortable temperature and holds moisture just right without getting soggy. My little jumper seems perfectly content in it. If you keep jumping spiders or other small inverts, this is a great choice. Review: Good buy - I love this will definitely be ordering again. Has a really nice texture to it and have no molding as of yet, unlike other brands that have molded almost immediately. I was recommended this as an alternative for my bearded dragon to lay her eggs and she loved it. My chameleon also loves this mix instead of the other type of bedding that was in with her. A lot softer and less smelly. ## Features - NATURAL HUMIDITY CONTROL provided by this highly absorbent coconut husk substrate bedding effectively maintains humidity levels in tropical terrariums - ENCOURAGES BURROWING BEHAVIOR in this reptile substrate with its soft texture, promoting the well-being and natural instincts of your reptile - MADE WITH 100% ORGANIC COCONUT FIBER, this coconut substrate provides a sustainable, natural and organic substrate for you and your reptile - IDEAL FOR TROPICAL HABITATS and egg incubation, this terrarium substrate provides soft, organic texture and moisture retention; Ideal for: chameleons, rainforest geckos, frogs, toads and more - COVERS THE BOTTOM OF A 55-GALLON ENCLOSURE: coconut husk for reptiles expands up to 5 times the size of the compressed brick when hot water is added ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,020 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zilla - **Color:** Brown - **Item Weight:** 1.3 Pounds - **Material:** Coconut Fiber - **Special Feature:** Coconut Husk Brick - **Style:** Coconut Husk - **Tank Volume:** 55 Gallons - **UPC:** 096316700390 - **Vivarium Type:** Terrarium ## Images ![Zilla Coconut Husk, Organic Reptile Bedding, Coconut Fiber, One size, Brown - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HCbKMvItL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much does one brick make. 8 quarts? 4 quarts?** A: A lot - not sure exactly, around 8 quarts but this stuff was horrible. It's extremely fine and dusty. Unless you squeeze out all of the water properly, it makes the cage very damp and cold. I removed it within a day and tossed it. **Q: Is it good for leopard geckos?** A: Yes, if you either keep it dry or let it dry out completely (spread it out in thin layer) after getting wet. Leo's need about 40% humidity and this stuff can easily make humidity too high if its allowed to stay wet/damp. I use it for my leo. **Q: Is it good for a Naturalistic bioactive reptile setup?** A: Yes my bearded dragons do really well with it. You can also soak it in water and let it triple in size. It then helps hold moisture for you animals to have humidity. It's the most affordable way and easy to clean. **Q: would this work for a giant marine toad?** A: Hi! We appreciate you writing to us. You can use the coconut husk for marine toads.
