Zoo Med Forest Floor Bedding

Great item,the only kind I use for my ball python and can snake been using it for years.will not be purchasing from this seller again it took a month to receive it after being delayed several times!

Great for my corn snake, he loves this stuff! Can keep humidity very well! Easy to cleanup and is cheaper than getting some at petsmart.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: We have tried many different substrates for our tortoises and although it tends to be a bit pricy, especially if you have large enclosures, Forest Floor comes out on top. Unlike some of the others, it creates a stable "floor" for them to walk on and we also like it as it can be sprayed or misted occasionally to increase humidity. We have not noticed a problem with dust or bugs - another plus.

What is the new snake cage and wanted some new bedding for him the whole bag fit at the bottom so I didn't have any left over which was great

Filled up half of a 50 gallon tank mixed with cocofiber. Keeps humidity well. It is a decent sized bag for the money! Easy to use and store, no issues found.

This is a good substrate, I use it for my iguana and blue tongued skink. It is not as dusty as some other bark substrates I've used and is relatively easy to clean of food and other messes. There are at times some large pieces I have to remove for fear they might injure one of them, but all in all it's relatively congruent in size. It also holds moisture well, allowing for a good humidity level, yet doesn't get moldy with constant misting.

We have been using Forrest Floor for our Ball Python environment. She seems to really like it. We previously tried other substrates and she would not go on the floor. Now she pushes paths and mounds in the material. Have been using this for her for almost 20 years.

This works perfectly for my ball python. It holds humidity better than aspen, and it lasts a long time before it needs completely changed out. I spot clean, then do a full substrate switch every shed or couple of months. It gets dry over time, so every couple weeks I'll pour a cup or two of water in there and mix it around. It's also way cheaper than any substrate at the pet store. I don't feed her in her viv anymore, though, because once a little mulch stick got stuck in her mouth and I had to get it out with tweezers. Aspen might be a better choice if you feed in the viv/tank/whatever. However, she kind of pushes her food around and into the ground when she eats. If your pet just gulps their food down it probably won't be an issue. I have a 55 gallon long aquarium, and usually get about 2 substrate switches out of one bag. The only downside is it's very difficult to see any waste when using this substrate. Everything kind of blends in, so I usually have to use the old smell test when cleaning.
