Holds humidity great for Ball Pythons!

I was really struggling with humidity in my ball python's enclosure until I started using this compressed substrate, before I was using exoterra bagged cocohusk. I added 5 liters of water to the compressed brick and I was able to hold humidty above 60 to 70 percent for about a month and I could probably make it last longer if I poured water in the corners more consistently.

Overhyped

If you’re thinking about trying RetiChip for a snake that eats live rats or mice, save your money I’m honestly disappointed with it. The biggest issue is that live feeders will burrow straight into the substrate, hiding from your snake. Rats and mice dig tunnels instantly, and it becomes a hassle trying to get them out while your snake is in feeding mode. It’s unsafe for the snake, annoying for you, and just makes the whole process more stressful. Another problem: RetiChip does NOT stay moist at all. No matter how much water you add, it dries out fast and creates a very dry environment. Don’t believe the hype online about how well it holds humidity it doesn’t. I tried everything, and it still left the enclosure dry and dusty. Overall, if you feed live or you’re relying on good humidity, RetiChip is not worth it. There are better, more reliable substrates out there.

high quality, huge amount, no random bits

similarly to the coco fibers, there were no super sharp pieces or assorted materials or clumps that you'd find in petstore-branded bedding

Good tropical substrate

Holds humidity well, great for tropical species! And maybe I'm weird but I love the smell, too.
