Kritters crumble is my preference, when I first put my woma on the kritters (previously only been on newspaper) he went nuts burrowing through it. IMO keeping a burrowing species without a substrate it can burrow in is like keeping a GTP without a perch

Coco peat is a good and cheap choice. It is the husk of coconuts and is a nice loose substrate. It looks a bit like brown mulch so it looks natural and appealing. It is cheap and a small block covers quite a large area. It is also very safe as if it is ingested it can be easily digested unlike things like sand. Aspen is ok but not quite as safe and I personally wouldn't use it.
Oz pet is great too, just a bit more pricey.

hope i helped

As the previous post mentions, critter crumble is excellent too. similar to coco peat and a really safe appealing substrate. It would be my choice.

Can you purchase the coco peat from bunnings?

 

[Bananapeel]

I don't think so but you might have to check that. You can definitely get it at all pet stores or pet centres. well most at least

I havee a pet barn near me, how much is kritter krumble and oz pet ? I have aspen for my childrens python, too expensive :/ haha

 

[Dreaper]

you can get coco peat from bunnings but be sure to get the one without fertilizer

Anyone know the pricing of kritter krumble ? I have a pet care wasrehouse and a pet barn near me

$13 - $15 a bag depending on where you get it from, its compressed so a bag goes a long way, one bag will easily do a few large enclosures, spot clean when needed and then completely replace every 5 or 6 weeks. You can also get kitty's crumble in larger bags so more economical its exactly the same as the fine grade kritters (produced by the same company)

Kritter crumble is about $20 - $25 per bag here in Vic and we have 2 varieties, course and fine. The course looks similar to repti bark and the fine looks more like coco peat. One bag would give you about a 1 inch layer in a 3ft x2ft enclosure.

I use fine, but either will work. How much is postage to get it from vic?

 

[WomaBoy]

Ill get finee , and im not too suree

 

[leamos]

I doubt freight will be cheap, if you go on kritters website you can search for your nearest store, i'm sure that will be cheaper then getting a bag shipped from melb

 

[WomaBoy]

Thanks heaps !
