My experience so far with reptile prime.
I currently use reptichip with all my snakes and love it, but with all the hype surrounding reptile prime I decided to give it a try, especially because I keep hearing people say its virtually dust free. Upon opening the bag I now know that is not the truth. So far the only thing I like about it is it is already broken up and no need to soak. Have yet to put an animal on it but I filled a empty tub to see how it looked. It’s not as fine as I thought it was which was also a plus but I also definitely noticed it stuck to wet hands way more than reptichip so I can see wet rodents getting pretty covered in this stuff. Nothing against reptile prime just wanted to give my opinion/review as someone that has been using reptichip exclusively.

That is does. It sticks to anything and everything damp. It also is a pain to dry out if you place it in a tub or pvc enclosure with restricted circulation. Best to avoid putting it in damp and either feeding on a card or mat or drying off rodents before feeding as it will stick just like every other substrate that is chopped up

This is super useful thank you! I’ve been using Reptichip and Reptibark but has been considering giving Reptile Prime with all the hype. So I’ve been curious to hear how it compares and differs from Reptichip. Any picture comparisons?

No problem, I wish there was a thread like this before I made my purchase to be honest lol. I don’t have any pics but I know there are comparison videos on YouTube. Here’s a thread comparing them.

Pretty much the same thing i noticed. Also while it absorbs water well, it also releases it too well. The stuff will dry out within a day. So if you are using it to try and control humidity, you are going to have spikes all over unless you go deep with the stuff like 2+ inches deep of substrate.
