PIVBY Natural Coco Coir Mat Coconut Fiber Reptile Carpet for Lizards Turtles Snakes Iguana

I first soaked it in water to remove tannins. After drawing off water several times over several weeks, I have cut and place in an aquarium, then topped with gravel (for plants). It has been about 6 months the plants have been growing fairly well (mostly growing slow growth type plants). Today I was removing one plantto transfer to another aquarium I notice it had rooted very well into the mat. I was able to remove it with most of the roots. The coconut fiber is working very well as a source for anchoring plants once it roots. The coconut fiber is a little hard to work with because of its thickness, however after soaking it was a little bit easier, however take care cutting it into shape with a good cutting tool.

Not 100% sure about how to clean it yet my plan is to hit it with a water hose and dial dish soap but that's why I got two of them to replace it in and out for my bearded dragon and I got it yesterday put it in his cage and he slept on it all night last night where his hide was so I'm thinking he liked it

I think this is good quality, however, it is a little too thick. The heat from the heat pad does not penetrate the substrate enough to keep my lizard warm enough. It is hard to clean because of its thickness. Bacteria gets trapped in between the fibers, I have to blow dry it because im afraid that the dampness will attract even more bacteria and mold .

Nice for hermit crab walls.

Great item for my bearded dragon purchase two packs for my 40 gallon tank. How to cut it though...However, it still came out great though :)
