## Description

Review: Great product - I mixed this brick with leftover ReptiBark for my 10 gallon ball python tank, which was due to a first time error in my judgement. The one brick wasn't working, and the humidity was way too high, so I ended up mixing it up with ReptiBark, and haven't had a problem since. I now have her in a 40 gallon, but as I like to have extra substrate on hand, I do recommend this. I don't know that it has a smell- certainly not one of plastic or chemicals, as mentioned before in another review. It kind of reminds me of a forest in the nose sense. I am on some snake groups on Facebook and they all have recommended Reptichip for perfect humidity control, and I do agree with them. This keeps humidity well, and is easy to maintain it by just mixing up the substrate in the tank or dampening it a little. I feel it's extremely easy to clean, much more economical compared to pet stores, is a well known brand, so I will continue to buy it from here. I do hope that helps others decide whether to get this or go with another product.
Review: Good quality - I really like this coconut fiber for my leopard gecko. It’s easy to use and has no funny smells. I only use it for his moist hides. He seems to enjoy it also. I was using moss before but it dried out to fast and he didn’t seems to like it as much. Also just one brick will Last a long time once you break it up and get it wet a little goes a long way. It can be a little messy but I just handle it over the sink or in the tub so clean up is easy after get it wet .
