ReptiChip vs. Reptile Prime Size Comparison

[Sauzo]

I will say it again....reptile prime is NOT anything like eco earth except the color. It is not course like coffee grounds and it does not stick to my thawed out rats unless there was a leak in the bag and even then not really. I still am on my origional bag of Herptopia. This stuff is amazing.

Anything sticks to my FT rats but i also rinse them off under hot water and pat dry them with a paper towel. Just with aspen and Reptichips, i can pick off any pieces with tongs if the snakes drag their food off the cardboard which recently they have loved to.

I am curious though, i was just checking out the webpage and it doesnt show the size of the bags. For those who have bought it, what size bag is it? 24 qt? NM, i found it on Reptile Basics page. It is 24 QT size for $15.99 without shipping or $20.00 shipped from Reptile Basics. Yeah gonna skip that noise. Would cost me like $200 in just substrate a month for my snakes with it if i followed the recommended once every month changing they say on the bag. Or $100 a month if i went by their max recommendation of every 2 months.

Think I'll just stick to aspen and ReptiChips lol.

Like I said before...I'm on my original bag of Herptopia and I have two snakes and I bought that bag last May. You will be fine.

I tried the Reptile Prime for the first time today and I really think I'm going to like it. I had been using shredded aspen and sani chips, which I can't find anymore, but the Reptile Prime was a nice change. Hardly any dust and pleasing to the eye. I misted it a little bit and it seems to be holding humidity very well. It's more expensive than aspen but I've heard it lasts a good while. I bought 4 bags to try out and it took me a I used a full bag and a third of a second bag to cover 2 of my 4x2 enclosures. I'll finish the others tomorrow. So far so good though.

Let me know how much it takes to do all your 4x2 cages, Zig. I am curious as i have 5 4x2 cages and 3 6x3 cages.

Also if you are looking for aspen, here is the place i use for American Excelsior stuff which i used to get from Bean Farm until Doug got tired of driving out to Eastern Washington to pick it up all the time lol.

I need someone with large constrictors to tell me how long the stuff lasts them. I just prices out 10 bags and with shipping, it would cost me $209.80 lol.

I'm going to send them an email and see if they offer wholesaling prices if ordering 10 bags or at least combined shipping lol.

What the heck lol. I tried to email them and get an error with address. Then i go to FB page and they dont have a contact through it. So the only way i can contact them is call them Monday

The only thing that irritated me at first was that some heavier snakes pushed the substrate all around and ended up laying on the bare floor. The substrate is very light and fluffy. But after a couple of misting it seemed to settle. Or the snakes gave up pushing it around. Lol. Either way, I don't notice it anymore. Only sometimes when they want to get closer to the heat tape. Which they also did at times with the other substrates.

Before you invest a lot of money, try it out first. The Amazon Deal is the lowest price I have ever seen it at.

btw. If you do the Amazon deal, that order will cost you about $147

But I'm not sure how long this deal lasts, or if there will always be some kind of deal like that.

Just ordered from amazon, looking forward to trying it out!

Just wasting money on large constrictors. They release Noah level floods of liquid and it would just make you work extra hard. Plus they are so heavy bodied they would just push the stuff around into a pile anyway. I say just stick with paper.

I agree completely! My Bloods and Short Tails flood their tubs with urine 2 - 3 times per week sometimes. This stuff seems like it would be great for people with only a pet Ball Python or two, but it would be astronomically expensive for people with many snakes/enclosures. Especially having to pay shipping on every bag... Nope!
