It's about £5 for a 100 litre bag/sack.

I was using it for my 2 crested juvies when they were a bit smaller, in a faunarium type enclosure. I recently swapped to newspaper, as I found it was getting a bit smelly too quickly (bigger geckos bigger craps Wink). I still mist them each evening and they have had no problems shedding up to now

I have those in my main well planted viv, totally odour free and spotless also. Didn't seem to happen with my small plastic tank enclosure though. Ventilation is nowhere near as good as the exo terras so perhaps the 'things' don't thrive the same
