Ball Python Substrate, Organic Coco Husk Blocks

Coco Coir Husk & Chip Substrate – Natural, Ready-to-Use Bedding for Ball Pythons

Supplied as a dry compressed brick (approx. 500g), this substrate expands to 6–7 litres when hydrated with 2–3 litres of water, providing a soft, natural base for your ball python’s enclosure.

Our Coco Coir Husk & Chip Substrate is carefully prepared and fully ready-to-use, creating a healthy, natural, and comfortable environment specifically suited for ball pythons. Its texture and composition encourage natural behaviours like burrowing and coiling, while supporting optimal humidity levels for your snake’s well-being.

🌱 Why Ball Python Keepers Choose Coco Husk & Chip

Natural Burrowing Surface
The coarse husk and chip blend provides structure and softness, perfect for ball pythons to dig, coil, and explore, mimicking their natural forest floor habitat.

Humidity & Moisture Management
Coco husk retains moisture without moulding or rotting, helping maintain the moderate-to-high humidity levels that ball pythons thrive in. Unlike other wood or bark-based substrates, it remains safe and stable even in regularly misted enclosures.

Safe & Comfortable
Completely free from harmful chemicals, this substrate is gentle on your snake’s skin and prevents irritation. Its loose texture supports healthy shedding and encourages natural activity.

Aesthetic & Enriching
The chunky, fibrous appearance creates a realistic forest-floor look, enhancing the visual appeal of your enclosure while providing an enriched, engaging environment for your ball python.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Made from renewable coconut husk, a byproduct of the coconut industry, our substrate is an environmentally conscious choice—good for your pet and the planet.

Easy to Use
Simply soak the compressed brick in water, fluff it, and spread it in your enclosure. Ready in minutes, it’s perfect for both new keepers and experienced breeders.

As with all substrates, it's important to feed your reptile/snake in a substrate-free environment to avoid ingestion, as ingestion can cause internal blockages.
