    Personally no, but the breeder I bought my BP from told me to use it if I have humidity problems.

    I use it and LOVE it! It holds humidity very well and is eco-friendly, unlike cypress mulch.

    It looks nice as well.....Sorry this is the best pic I had.

    I use it and I love it!! It does hold humidity very well. Aspen's good and I guess some people don't have a problem with it holding humidity, but I've always felt that the coco fiber works the best. Plus, like the other poster said, it looks nicer and more natural than aspen

    It does look very good. I have not tried it yet, I use aspen and have the top foiled off. That does the trick for me, but it's pretty humid down here in the south.
