Good Coconut Substrate
Hey Guys! Title is pretty self explanatory, been looking at all the different kinds, and just curious on what most of you use. I wanted to switch from paper towel to this when I get my rack, just to help with humidity and sheds a little more.

Reptichip and Prococo are highly regarded. Personally I use the former and have been enjoying it.

ReptiChips for bigger chunkier stuff and Reptile Prime for a midsize substrate. I hate recommending Reptile Prime but not going to lie, Dottie seems to love the stuff. It isnt dust free like the claim though but it is lower on the scale, about equivalent to ReptiChips. The killer is the price. The stuff is easily the most expensive on the market and if you have more than a couple snakes, be prepared to shell out cash. I only use it for Dottie as it would cost me over $100 a month just for substrate for all my snakes if i used that stuff exclusively. Plus i think it too fine for larger snakes. I recommend cypress for large stuff like adult boas and retics and burm etc.
And personally i would not recommend any fine coco substrate as it seems the finer the grade, the more the dust.
