Why we chose it

One bag covering both dry and humid set-ups is genuinely useful if you keep more than one type of reptile, rather than stocking a separate substrate for each enclosure. It also does double duty as an incubation medium, which is a real cost saving over buying that separately.

Full description

The right reptile substrate depends on humidity, not looks, which is why a substrate that can be used bone dry for one species and misted for another is worth more than one built for a single climate.

Pettex's Reptile Cocofibre is 100% natural coconut husk fibre. Kept dry it's odourless and suits an arid, desert-style terrarium; sprayed with water it holds moisture and becomes a tropical dwelling substrate instead. The same material also works as an incubation medium for reptile eggs and as a natural planting substrate.

Who it's for: keepers of tropical or desert reptile species who want one substrate they can use dry or misted, and that doubles as an egg incubation medium.
