Don't call, go in person. And don't ask for 'coir'. Go look for reptile bedding.

I get mine from Petco if you have one of those around. I get these three packs for like $9. But I get this brand. And yeah, I never had anyone tell me they had this stuff even when asked directly for it. Most people don't even know what it is.

It's a part of the husk. But don't even get into that- you want a brick (or three) of reptile bedding.

yup...people still won't know what it is. I can only find it around here at Petco. I personally go into all the pet stores to try to find it at other places but can't. Petco is the only one around here. I can't even find it on their website. The brand I posted is called Zoo Med. Try asking for that...if you must ask someone. But it's in the reptile and hermit crab substrate section of the store.

I wouldn't get anything other than the compressed bricks, but out of the links you posted, I would go with the first one. I see the stuff in the second link as the store too. You DO NOT want that stuff. It looks like wood chips and it big and bulky. You want the fibers. It has some long stringy stuff but is mostly powdery like dirt. (kinda)


I found it! This is the shit you want to buy. (When in doubt use the shopping tool in Google)

I haven't checked on ebay. That's not a bad idea.

They also carry bulk bails of this shit at hydroponic stores too. I have never gotten any there as there isn't a hydroponic store within 60 miles of here.

I'm not sure what a bail works out to, but it's more than ten bricks. 1.50 bucks vs. 5.00 :strokebeard:

I worked in the reptile industry for years and I have found most employees have no idea what products the store they work at carries.
Always go in yourself as it is a common product that is almost always in stock. Especially try reptile speciality stores as they tend to sell very large bricks at a discounted price.

So I went to the Hydro shop to grab some verm and coir. The smallest brick of coir they had was 11L. How much of this am I going to need for 1 monotub? I was planning on using 1 brick but this is a BIG brick. I was thinking like 1/3rd of it?
