Wow, thanks! I was originally going to buy that because it seemed cheap. Some of that reptile eco earth stuff gets expensive especially for a large indoor enclosure.Looks fine but way overpriced.

Which would you recommend for an outdoor enclosure for an Eastern Box Turtle? Chopped, ground or small chips with fibers? Thank you.Looks fine but way overpriced.

Outdoors I'd use whatever ground the enclosure was on and a bunch of leaf litter.Which would you recommend for an outdoor enclosure for an Eastern Box Turtle? Chopped, ground or small chips with fibers? Thank you.
I'm putting the enclosure on my porch so I'll need some kind of substrate in the tank/pool/whatever I end up using. What is it about the coconut substrate you don't like?Outdoors I'd use whatever ground the enclosure was on and a bunch of leaf litter.
If your enclosure will have a bottom, then I don't like either the coco chips or coir for this application. I don't like the chips for tortoises in general. The coir would be okay, but its too messy. Fine grade orchid bark, or cypress mulch will work better if you must have a substrate.
The chips don't offer good footing and I worry about them swallowing a chunk. Not many people use it for tortoises, so I don't know how much of a danger this is, or isn't.
