    Oh definitely do. Totally worth it. I can link a video too if needed from Brian barchyk of BHB too if you wish.

    Do you guys mind me asking how much you pay for this and what size the bag is (i.e. how many cu. ft.?)?

    I am currently using a competitor to reptichip and although I like how it holds humidity, I'm not crazy about the price or the super large chunks.

    $15.99 for24q I'm going to check my bag to make sure. It changed from herptopia to reptile prime. Yep same size same price. I have had mine since May and still on the same bag. I have a 20L and a 10 gallon with it.

    It is around $21 with shipping ($16 before shipping) from the site of the same name (herptopia now redirects to it, that is how I found the site). The bag is 24 quart and I used less than half for the enclosure that is 3' x 2'

    Site only accepts paypal as payment just a heads up. No idea any other outlets that carry it.

    Here is Brain's video back when it was herptopia (same thing just renamed and has his face plastered all over it). I'm not a fan of his but I am of this substrate ;)

    Here's hoping they get to listing it on Amazon. Would like to try it for mixing with my OD Hemp, and its not carried locally. Maybe not even in the Twin Cities, wasn't looking at substrates as much when I was there last...

    Re: Reptile Prime feedback
    To add a couple things I've noticed now that I use Reptile Prime/Herptopia bedding as well.

    In addition to the OP's comments - I also notice my snakes burrow now, something they never did with cypress mulch.

    The finer bits mentioned do accumulate on the bottom of the enclosure over time and although it isn't "dust" so to speak, it is a pain to get out of the enclosure with just a damp paper towel so I just use my vacuum. But there is no dust cloud when I am cleaning or setting up the enclosures.

    I like it, my snakes seem to be comfortable in it, and another vote for it to be available on Amazon soon would be great.
