Good for potting mix
My photo I added is the product mixed in with other things to make a potting mix, but I also showed some pieces of it separate in the second photo. It’s been handy to get coco chips that aren’t uniform I’m size to allow for better drainage. It’s comes as massive block, so I’ve just been breaking off bits as needed and I haven’t even made a dent making a batch of potting mix (normally I’d have used half my supplies). It’s definitely worth the money and will last me a very long time). I’d imagine, if you use this with reptiles, it’d look nice and natural and it’s lightweight which is probably good for moving through. I really like how there’s some strands of coco husk (maybe?) in here as well. I like the look and consistency that it gives and how easy it is to blend sizes of amendments in my potting mix with this. I have also just noticed that coco husk/chips tend not to get mold the way that bark does, I assume it’s just more airy but either way it’s been great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST reptile substrate
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018
I have been using eco earth for awhile for my ball pythons and blue tongue skink. However, a few months back I attempted to use the zoo med forest floor bedding mixed with eco earth and all of my reptiles contracted mites from it that wouldn’t go away for months.

This is the first substrate my reptiles have been put on since having a mite infestation and I cannot day enough good things about it. Since I have reptiles that need a higher humidity, this substrate was perfect! It held a very high humidity for about a WEEK after I put it into their enclosures! I now have to spray it about once a day in order to keep the humidity high enough, but that is still much less than I would have to do if my reptiles were still on eco earth. My reptiles absolutely love this bedding as do I. It provides a nice smell, great texture, and is not dusty. The substrate was very easy to expand as well and makes a LOT of product for a great price. I would spend much more on eco earth trying to fill all of my enclosures when this one block filled both of my 20 gallons, and my over five foot vision cage. I HIGHLY recommend this product to reptile keepers, especially if you struggle with keeping humidity up. This was my first time purchasing this and I will be buying this from now on!

only issue I have is small thin sticks are really abundant, my tortoise has accidentally eaten a few as they get mixed uh in the food. Otherwise really good, might switch to a different product from this brand that lacks the twigs.
