Find a productProduct description
This coconut chip substrate is made from coconut shell husks and is aimed at keepers of snakes, agamas, chameleons, tortoises, geckos and other lizards who need a loose, moisture-holding bedding that is ready to use after rehydration. It arrives as a compressed block, so the keeper prepares only the volume the enclosure requires.
Why it matters
- Triple washing is listed as part of the production process, which is relevant for keepers who want a cleaner starting material.
- Dust-free chips reduce airborne particles during mixing and handling of the bedding.
- High odour absorption and good moisture retention keep the enclosure substrate working between maintenance cycles.
- Low sodium content and a stated consistent quality from batch to batch suit keepers who want predictable bedding.
Specifications
- Product: coconut shell chips, premium grade
- Chip thickness: 8-14 mm
- Packaging: compressed block, 4.5 kg
- Yield after rehydration: 55-65 L
- Preparation container: approx. 100 L (e.g. a builder's mortar tub)
- Water: approx. 3 L lukewarm water for the first step, then 1-2 L added according to the desired moisture level
Preparation: place the block in the container and remove the foil from the top, then remove the label. Add the lukewarm water, wait 15-20 minutes, add the extra water if needed and wait another 15-20 minutes. Cut open the remaining packaging, shake out the substrate and crumble any lumps by hand, then mix. If the substrate is too wet, leave it in a warm place for 12-24 hours and stir occasionally. Leftover prepared substrate can be spread in a warm place and stirred 1-2 times a day to let excess moisture evaporate. Do not seal the box during drying.
What it works with
This substrate suits terraria for snakes, agamas, chameleons, tortoises and geckos, where a loose bedding with stable moisture is needed. Because the yield is 55-65 L from one 4.5 kg block, it is practical for enclosures of medium to large volume; the exact enclosure size should be matched to the required bedding depth.

Frequently asked questions
The substrate is listed as suitable for snakes, bearded dragons, chameleons, turtles, geckos and other lizards. It is made from coconut husk chips in the 8-14 mm size.
According to the manufacturer's guidelines, one 4.5 kg block yields about 55-65 litres of prepared substrate. The block is compressed and must be soaked before use.
You need a container of about 100 litres, such as a construction tub. Put the block in, remove the film from the top and take out the label before adding water.
Start with 3 litres of lukewarm water, wait 15-20 minutes, then add 1-2 litres more if you want a higher moisture level. After another 15-20 minutes, break up the rest of the block, mix it, and it is ready.
If it is too wet, leave it in a warm place for 12-24 hours and stir it from time to time. Leftover prepared substrate should also be kept in a warm place and stirred 1-2 times a day, and the box must not be sealed tightly so excess moisture can evaporate.
