    I use the coco fiber in my 40 gallons that house my RTBs and works great to hold humidity. My other snakes are on paper towels in their rack.

    I use it in my 40 gallon breeder. It works wonderfully and it's easy for my snake to dig in. Easy to clean too and definitely keeps the humidity up.

    No as it doesn't get that wet. What I did was after the brick had expanded I wrung it out. It is lightly damp and dries quickly. Even when dry iy holds humidity very well.
