{"product_id":"pr-coco-bedding-coarse-10-litre","title":"ProRep Coco Bedding Coarse 10 Litre – Natural Coconut Chip Substrate","description":"\u003cp\u003ePR Coco Bedding Coarse is a 100% natural coconut husk substrate in a coarser chip grade, suited to reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that need a humid vivarium environment. Derived from the fibrous outer husk of the coconut, it is a sustainable, biodegradable bedding that works dry or moist depending on your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Comes From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the husk is separated from the coconut, it is screened and processed to produce a consistent chip size. The substrate is naturally slightly acidic, carries high antibacterial properties, and has a high lignin content — meaning it resists decomposition even when kept damp, giving it a longer usable life than many organic substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny species requiring elevated humidity will benefit from this substrate. It is commonly used for tropical and rainforest reptiles, dart frogs, tree frogs, tarantulas, and other invertebrates. It can be used as a standalone substrate or blended with other materials to fine-tune texture and moisture retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing It in the Enclosure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread evenly to a depth of 1–2 inches (2.5–5cm) across the enclosure floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot clean daily — remove soiled areas and top up with fresh substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMist with water to raise humidity; avoid waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull replacement recommended every two to three weeks, or sooner if heavily soiled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used dry or moistened depending on species requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing With a Heat Mat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a heat mat is being used beneath the substrate or under a glass tank, the substrate depth must not exceed 1cm. Position the thermostat probe directly on the mat rather than within the substrate. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance — insufficient clearance can cause the mat to overheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 10 litres, PR Coco Bedding Coarse provides enough material to set up a mid-sized vivarium or to keep on hand for routine top-ups, making it a practical staple for any keeper working with humidity-dependent species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148628578641,"sku":"SPC610","price":7.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SPC610_1.jpg?v=1782600048","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-coco-bedding-coarse-10-litre","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
