Re: coconut fiber
What do you mean thicker? I know that when it drys out it can get pretty dusty, in that case just make sure you keep the moisture level up. I don't use coconut coir for my snakes, but I've used it before for frogs and toads which it works really well for.

It's still going to get dusty when it drys out. Why not just go with pure cypress mulch? That stuff holds moisture really well.

I don't think mixing the two will cause any problems, but I'm not sure it'll fluff the substate up the way you want.
You getting closer to buying that rack and tub set up yet?:rofl:
