Hi :)
Im no expert on substrates, but I have used coco coir, cypress mulch and orchid bark (not all at once lol!) with my star (and radiated) tortoise, and I think all are perfectly suitable.... I personally like orchid bark because its less messy than coir, and less sharp/splintery than cypress mulch. But thats just me :)
Hope that helps
John
