I have not used the coconut shell product personally, but a number of zoos use it and I haven't heard anything bad about it. I believe it is made from freeze-dried, pulverized coconut shells compressed into a brick sized mass. It has to be rehydrated with water before use. I think the brick takes one gallon of water to rehydrate. I do think it would be very expensive if used in the size pen which you should have for that sulcata though. Have you checked on the price? Also if used in the entire area, it would provide too much humidity for a sulcata in my opinion.

I am sure others out there have used it. What do they have to say?
