    CaribSea Coco Soft substrate

    Has anyone used this with ball pythons?

    Would you breed a wobbler dog even though it had a cool coat?

    Re: CaribSea Coco Soft substrate

    I use Coco Soft, and Love, it love it love it!!! "Where have you been my whole life" is what I ask the bag, every time I use it. Looks great, organic, absorbs orders great, easy to spot clean, my animals love it, and its relatively cheap.

    I swear by it.

    I used to use reptile carpet. Fir bark as just too cumbersome, but the Coco Soft was recommended to me, when I was thinking about switching to Cypress Mulch.

    Anyway, I love it!

    I have heard really positive things about it, but haven't gotten to try it myself yet.

    For the price, I'd rather just go with Cypress if your looking for a wooden type bedding. Aspen is a good choice too but can mold rather quickly.

    I'm a Kraft paper man myself.

    We use it in some boa/ball displays, it looks really nice as well as holding humidity well. Definitely a good product.

    Plus Coconut Husk keeps humidity in very very well. These products are all really good.

    It gets a bit expensive, but it's not a bad substrate by any stretch. Holds humidity really well too.

    Re: CaribSea Coco Soft substrate

    Thanks, all. I'm going to try it in the display tank, where I need a substrate that will hold humidity well and look good. Hopefully for just one tank holding one snake, it won't get too expensive.
    Would you breed a wobbler dog even though it had a cool coat?
