Reptichip Alternative SOS

[ckuhn003]

How often should you change out your substrate if your using reptichip?

Based on the snake... small snakes, with conscientious spot cleaning are good for 3 months, then I do a good scrub. My big snakes, that pee rivers need to be changed out whenever they pee, if I can spot clean their poop, usually... so about 1-4 weeks based on their needs.

The Buffalo/Niagara reptile expo has a reptichip vendor listed as attending the Aug 27 show. I'm sure if you call them they could have as much as you want there and not have to pay shipping.

DBD, my regional distributor, is down to 110 bricks for the next 4-6 weeks, and the best price from him is $20 a brick for 50, and $25 a brick for less than that.

[QUOTE=jmcrook;2550692]I have the same stuff that Shane recommends, it's called Pro Coco. Identical to reptichip. It's on snakemuseum.com for $12.99/block, forget how much shipping is. Might be able to find it in bulk for cheaper if you buy a pallet directly from the manufacturer?


I ordered a bunch to try it out with everyone. I hope it processes quickly!

Does anyone have experience with both reptichip and this product? Even with shipping this stuff is way cheaper than reptichip on Amazon when purchasing more than 1 block. Just curious if the quality is equal. I really like reptichip and don't want to end up with a lower quality for the sake of a few bucks

Well I'll definitely be able to give you my opinion! I know someone did a 4-product comparison that was really good, but I can't recall... if no one comes up with it, I'll look when I get home this evening.

Here's the link, but it doesn't include Pro Coco, which I have ordered.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...erptopia/page2
