3 x Coco Plug coconut fibre growing medium, 6–10 mm (4.5 kg)

This coconut substrate suits keepers of snakes, agamas, chameleons, turtles, geckos and other lizards who want a ready-to-use bedding that is bought dry and compressed. The three-block set reduces how often you reorder and avoids preparing bedding from scratch each time the enclosure needs refreshing.

Why it matters

• Triple washed: the chips go through three washing stages before packing, which the supplier cites as a reason for low sodium content.
• Dust-free: the product is sold without dust, which limits airborne particles when the substrate is spread into the enclosure.
• Moisture retention: the chips hold humidity well, which helps maintain a stable moisture level in the enclosure.
• Odour absorption: the chips absorb smells well, which is useful in enclosures that need frequent cleaning.

What it works with

Preparation requires a container of about 100 L, for example a builder's mortar tub. Add 4-5 L of lukewarm water to a block, wait 30-40 minutes, add 1-2 L more depending on the moisture level you want, then wait 15-20 minutes before breaking up any lumps and mixing. If the mix turns out too wet, leave it in a warm place for 12-24 hours and stir occasionally; the box should not be sealed while the substrate dries.
