Tortoise substrate

[GeoTerraTestudo]

I just had the longest debate with myself about which substate to use. I finally came down to the decision to use the coconut fiber/coco coir.(whatever you like to call it for numerous reasons.
1. Keeps the humidity in my enclosure
2. Easy to Clean and Cheap to buy
3. Has no unwanted bugs or mold.
Another great thing is my tortoise loves to burrow in it. So far i haven't had any downfalls with it, so i really recommend it!

That's how I see it.

one of my friend using orchard bark as bedding, it gets mold and bugs easily
so, I will try coco coir

I currently got aspen like wood chipping I would reccomend it, it'a fantastic but not the entire enclosure about 70% and 30% of coconut coir for humidity levels you no it's works very well guys

I use Eco-Earth for Wilbur's enclosure. I really like it.

So, would the coconut coir and some cypress mulch be okay for a hermanns tort?

i suggest coco coir.
the carpet is extremely messy. :/
