    Coco husk substrate

    I'm thinking about switching my kings and corns to Coco husk instead of aspen. I like that they don't mold, looks good, and it starts damp and slightly wet mimicking wet substrate after a rain and then dries pretty quickly in a few days. I had been testing it with my king who immediately started exploring the substrate.

    Anyways, I can't seem find a lot of info about this type of substrate. Specifically, people's experience with this vs aspen. Most of my colubrids are in aspen, including the corns. And my calculations show in my area, aspen is about a $1 more than a brick of Coco husk. Money aside, is there any reason to avoid using Coco husk? Is it more dusty than aspen? I don't want to use Coco fiber with my colubrids.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS I had looked into hemp bedding. Heard a lot of great things about it but they are difficult to find in my area and more expensive. Is it worth it though, I wonder?
