ReptiBlock Large Coconut Substrate (4.5 kg)

This coconut chip substrate suits keepers who need a bulk, natural bedding for reptile and amphibian enclosures, and who want to prepare it without extra equipment. It ships as a compressed block that is rehydrated in water before use, so one 4.5 kg pack gives a large volume of substrate.

Why it matters

• Coarse 6–12 mm chips hold their structure in the enclosure, and the compressed block expands to 70 L+ once soaked.
• Triple-rinsed and described as nearly dust-free, which reduces airborne particles during handling and in the enclosure.
• Retains moisture and absorbs odours, supporting a humid microclimate and easier cleaning between changes.
• Resistant to mould, and made from 100% ecological, biodegradable material with a low salt content (EC < 300 μS/cm).

What it works with

The substrate is designed for terraria housing snakes, geckos, chameleons and turtles, as well as vivaria. Its expanded volume makes it a practical choice for larger enclosures. It can also be used as bedding for rabbits and as a medium for tropical plants, including orchids and other epiphytes.
