We use reptichip our entire snake collection. Ball Pythons, Boas, Corn Snakes, King Snakes and more.
We also use it on lizard species such as: Crested Geckos, Day Geckos, Chameleons, Iguanas and all humidity loving reptiles and amphibians.
Reptichip comes in a 12x12x6 10lb block. Each block expanded with water and will make enough to fill roughly 7 36 x18in tubs or enclosures 1.5 inches thick.
We place a single block inside a flat bottom garbage can and slowly add 2 gallons of water. We let it sit for 15-20 minutes, mix the chip and its ready to use. The garbage cans make it easy to store and move the expanded chip. Depending on your humidity more or less water might be needed. It always safer to start with less water and add more if needed, you don't want to oversaturate the chip.
Reptichip has already taken the crucial step in rinsing the chip for you. Reptichip has already been triple rinsed to lower the salinity level as well as lower any mineral content. Once expanded the chip is ready to use without any additional rinsing needed. Don't let the unrinsed plant brands fool you, they are great for your gardens, but the salinity can dehydrate your reptiles.
