    Reptile prime

    Mine arrived today, and so far I'm digging this stuff. I'd definitely say it's dust free as they advertise it. Hardly no chunks at all, plenty of fibers throughout the mix. Switched it out and within 30 minutes tubs were at 60% humdity. Shot of the tubs from the front included, and Atlas heading into his hide after switching out.

    It comes loose and dry but you can mix in water to moisten it up as you see fit.

    Like sda said, ordered it from their website. No one local to me sells it. I was using a blend of eco earth and cypress mulch before. With the reptile prime I covered my tubs as I wanted then gave it a good misting.

    Re: Reptile prime

    It is really amazing bedding. Holds the humidity well, easy to spot clean, absolutely no odors, and the snakes can burrow in it.

    I just ordered two bags to see how well it works for me! Sounds interesting and can't wait to try it out.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    i wanna try this product or similar stuff. i just get the feeling that coconut husks (i.e. Reptichips) is uncomfortable and i tried it on myself. i put some in an empty tub, took off my shoes and socks, and i step into it. i love the humidity it provides, how it keeps down odors but didn't like the feeling on my bare feet/skin. not sure if it would feel the same to BP's/snakes Lol. anyway this and other cocofiber products sounds like it provides the same benefits but more even spread through the tub and possibly better comfort.

    How do you order this stuff. I went to the website but could not purchase it. Is this something that Bryan for BHB developed and sells or is he just endorsing it??

    Please advise on where to buy it.

    Thanks
