    Compressed Coco-Husk?

    Good for ball pythons or no? I know it's great for holding humidity, let me know your thoughts and opinions. And if you don't know what I'm referring to here's a picture:

    Yeah you can use that.

    I have Zoo Med's eco earth (also coconut) but my corn already moves it around a LOT. If I had my balls on there there'd be heaps of it in one corner and none in the other.





    And those that are even considering quoting me for Out of Context, it's not going to be fun anymore after reading this message.

    You can use that, but keep in mind it is basically dirt. I personally don't like the idea of having to clean a cage full of dirt. I only use this kind of substrate for frogs who need 70-90% humidity.

    I use this stuff in my set up now. I really like it. For here in colorado its great because it keeps my humidity up really well. But make sure you let it dry out before you put it in there or your humidity will be up in the 90's!

    I'm planning on using paper towels for the substrate, I was just curious.
