Its probably the stuff that SDA saw at the show ?
Ok, I found the old video where Brian promotes Herptopia and makes a trip to the facility. If you can get through the annoying music and fast forward to the blabbering in the beginning, it does have some goof info on it..

Thats the same video from the Reptile Prime video. He just recycled it onto that site.
I was looking more for an actual office or contact info or anything like that. So if i had a problem with the product, who would i contact lol.

Actually you might be right. I dont see any of the fibers in it like the Reptile Prime stuff has. But the pieces do look about the same size.
My biggest question mark though is why can i not find it anywhere else except the Reptile Prime site and even there, it links me to other sites which don't show it. So I'm kind of confused.
They make 4 commercial products. Cat litter, industrial coconut fiber for drought control/moisture retention in plants (we can't buy it direct), reptile prime, and reptile prime fines (not sold on the site yet but it is out there, see my previous post).
The cat litter and reptile prime are the same quantity and same stuff off the same assembly line just pushed through different sifters

OMG, he explains it so much better then I ever could, LOL !!
That is exactly my point, it is SO much easier to deal with and it performs so much better then other coco products.
But again, everyone has different requirements and priorities. It is a great option to have, though.
I absolutely agree about ReptiChip being dusty and a pain in the rear. I had to soak it, let it expand and then had to dry it. Once dry, it was so dusty. Every time I scooped some out of the big tote, my arm was covered in a fine brown coating of dust and you could literally see it billowing into the air.

I just stumbled across that video last night, too. I watch most of his videos... This definitely wasn't exactly a very scientific test he conducted here (as far as dust), but I guess he did pretty much prove how much more absorbent Reptile Prime is than the other premium coconut bedding. I have no doubt that this stuff is probably amazing for absorbing urine and maintaining humidity. It's just a shame that it's so expensive. One thing i'm curious about, though, is, if you already have this stuff wetted down to maintain humidity, how would it be possible to find the urine?
