Absorbent Substrates

[NJxRinzler]

Hey guys,

So I have been using Repti-Bark and my ball must have spilled her water bowl a couple times and I noticed when I went to clean some of the substrate from weekly cleaning that water was just sitting under the Repti-Bark and not absorbing anything. Sucks, because I like the look of the Rept-Bark. What other natural substrate would be good for either a bottom layer or just as a whole. Would Cypress Mulch absorb liquids better, rather than sitting and collecting under it?

Thanks, better than Cypress-Mulch?

So just coconut husk/fiber would work?

Both cypress and coco fiber / coco husk absorb and release water slowly, like a sponge.

I use a dual layer coconut fiber and reptibark. The bottom layer is very damp coco fiber and the top is "dry" reptibark. It keeps humidity up

Thanks everyone. Just picked up a brick of Reptichip on Amazon. Going to last a while. They are very nice and quick to answer questions. Will let you all know how it works out.
