Best Substrate for boas? Here's what i use at Delmarva Exotics

Описание: 🐍 What Substrate I Use at Delmarva Exotic – How I Prep a ReptiChip Breeder Block (NOT Sponsored)

Welcome back to Delmarva Exotic!
In this video, I walk through the exact substrate I personally use for my boas and other reptiles — the ReptiChip Breeder Block. This is not a paid review or endorsement. It’s simply the setup that has consistently worked for me here on the Delmarva.
I show the whole process, step-by-step: how I expand a full breeder block, how I break it down, and how much usable substrate it produces when filling a 62-qt Sterilite tub.

🔨 What’s Inside This Video

• Unwrapping and expanding a full ReptiChip Breeder Block
• How I break it apart and prep it for enclosure use
• How much substrate a single block makes for a 62-qt Sterilite bin
• Tips on moisture level, consistency, and getting the most out of each block
• How I use it across my boas like my Moonglow, Anery IMG, Hypo Zero, and Dr. Doolittle

🌱 Why I Stick With Real Coco Husk

Outside the video, I also explain why I personally avoid the “Reptibark”-style knock-offs from big box stores.
They may look similar on the shelf, but in real reptile-keeping they just don’t perform the same:
✔ Doesn’t hold humidity like real coco
✔ Breaks down differently
✔ Costs nearly the same for far less usable material
✔ Not as consistent for daily husbandry
Again — not a comparison in this video, just the real-life experience that led me to the substrate I show today.

🐍 For Keepers Who Want a Reliable Setup
If you’re running larger enclosures, working with humidity-sensitive species, or just want a substrate that gives you more value for your money, this walkthrough will give you a clear look at what I use and how I prep it.
