Reptichip Alternative SOS

How often should you change out your substrate if your using reptichip?

Based on the snake... small snakes, with conscientious spot cleaning are good for 3 months, then I do a good scrub. My big snakes, that pee rivers need to be changed out whenever they pee, if I can spot clean their poop, usually... so about 1-4 weeks based on their needs.

DBD, my regional distributor, is down to 110 bricks for the next 4-6 weeks, and the best price from him is $20 a brick for 50, and $25 a brick for less than that.

[QUOTE=jmcrook;2550692]I have the same stuff that Shane recommends, it's called Pro Coco. Identical to reptichip. It's on snakemuseum.com for $12.99/block, forget how much shipping is. Might be able to find it in bulk for cheaper if you buy a pallet directly from the manufacturer?


I ordered a bunch to try it out with everyone. I hope it processes quickly!

Does anyone have experience with both reptichip and this product? Even with shipping this stuff is way cheaper than reptichip on Amazon when purchasing more than 1 block. Just curious if the quality is equal. I really like reptichip and don't want to end up with a lower quality for the sake of a few bucks

Well I'll definitely be able to give you my opinion! I know someone did a 4-product comparison that was really good, but I can't recall... if no one comes up with it, I'll look when I get home this evening.

Here's the link, but it doesn't include Pro Coco, which I have ordered.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...erptopia/page2
