The ideal substrate for most medium to large terrestrial snakes, medium to large lizards, and tortoises. Using Coco Soft™ Coarse Chip in a depth at least equal to the snakes body diameter allows a substrate depth deep enough for the animal to move through the substrate. This creates resistance to the snakes body and helps build muscle mass, which in turn leads to healthier animals and larger clutch sizes.

Look at Coco Soft™ under magnification and you will see a spongy sheath covering the fibers. This is nature's ideal platform for the growth of healthy, waste reducing organisms that keep an enclosure fresher between changing. This spongy material is lost during the soaking process that typical coconut products undergo, along with much of the valueable tannins that naturally resist the growth of undesirable mold and mildew.

Coco Soft™ is also free of toxic aromatic oils! It can be used dry or moist and humidity may be adjusted by using a spray bottle or mister of purified water. Heat lamps and the dry atmosphere of an air conditioned or heated home, can quickly dehydrate a reptile enclosure and ist occupants. Even desert species should have water available at all times.

Your best value. Coco Soft™ smells fresh up to 3 times longer than other reptile bedding by eliminating odors naturally, not simply masking them with perfumes or aromatic oils. Coco Soft™ becomes a living substrate that functions like a forest floor ecosystem with up to 20 times the biological activity of other brands. Coco Soft™ begins with fresh 100% organically grown coconut husk, never fermented in saline water. In fact Coco Soft™ has been demonstrated in a major university study to reduce the growth of pathogenic fungi by up to 77%! These same microorganisms quickly reduce organic waste, keeping the enclosure cleaner and smelling fresh, even on a heavy feeding schedule. A cleaner cage means a healthier pet.

Tip: Coco Soft™ may be safely composted and recycled. It's great for plants and gardens!
