Review: Awesome quality reptile bedding and a little goes a long way. I bought thinking I would use the entire brick but when I fluffed it, half was all I need for my crested gecko enclosure. Great price and my gecko loves how it retains heat and humidity!
Review: Worth every penny! You get the most bang for your buck with this product. I was rehabbing an injured frog and decided to buy this for his substrate and he loved it so much. He healed up nice and got big and fat in his terrarium and made many homes inside this bedding. It’s safe and is of good quality and you get so much of it in just one brick you can afford to change it often to keep it clean. You won’t regret buying this! Would be awesome for full time terrarium owners who need a constant flow of good quality bedding!

## 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. If you have more questions, please call our friendly Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527.

Always lovely. I have no cons, and this little brick turns into more than enough to fill a terrarium. I have purchased twice. You can mix it 70% to 30% of playsand for a fat tailed gecko. You could also do a full water soaked brick mixed with a horticultural charcoal bag for a crested gecko terrarium. My terrariums are not currently housing Any isopod are sparing tails, but I will probably add them in the future and this substrate will be great for them as well. It worked out great in both reptile enclosures. I tried using a small amount in my jumping spiders enclosure as well, but she did not like soil at all, so I ended up having to completely remove it from her enclosure specifically.
