Chunky coconut husk chips, washed to lower salt, for reptile and terrarium bedding. Chip size to order, bulk or private label.

Coconut husk chips cut from the husk of Sri Lankan coconuts, washed and dried for use as reptile and terrarium bedding. Chips are coarser than coco fibre, so they drain freely and hold humidity between the chips, which suits enclosures where the bedding should not stay wet at the surface.

#### Who uses it

Pet brands, reptile shops and breeders use husk chips for pythons, boas, tortoises and other species kept at moderate to high humidity, and as a drainage or top layer in planted enclosures. The same chips are sold to orchid and aroid growers.

#### Chip size

Chip size is set by the cutting and screening. Tell us the size range you want or send a sample of the product you sell now, and we match it on the sample.

#### Why washing matters

Coconut husk naturally holds salts (sodium and potassium), especially where coconuts grow near the coast. For animals and plants the material is washed in fresh water to bring the salt level down before it is dried and compressed. Ask for the lot’s EC (electrical conductivity), pH and moisture results with your quote, and tell us your target values.

#### Import paperwork

Coir is a plant product, so most importing countries ask for a phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service, and some (Australia and New Zealand among them) set their own import conditions for coir and peat. Check your country’s rules before ordering; we supply the export documents.

#### What to tell us for a quote

- The product, grade or specification you need, and a reference sample if you have one
- Quantity per order and how often you buy
- Pack size, packaging and labelling
- Destination port and the Incoterm you prefer
- Documents your market requires, such as a certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate or lab test reports

#### Packing and shipping

Orders are packed to your instruction and shipped by sea in a full or shared container, or by air for samples and small lots, quoted FOB Colombo, CFR or CIF to your port. Products from several Sri Lankan suppliers can share one container through our consolidation service.

How to get a price: tell us the quantity, your specification and your destination port. We quote FOB Colombo, CFR or CIF, with lead time and minimum order, and arrange samples before an order.
