Komodo Coarse Beech Chips Substrate for Reptiles

Setting up or refreshing substrate in a reptile enclosure? This coarse beech chip substrate offers a natural, non-toxic flooring option for vivarium bedding and general reptile substrate needs. The chips are sourced from sustainable forests and kiln dried, which helps reduce initial moisture and unwanted pests straight from the bag, making it easier to get a stable base in place for your enclosure.

Practical for snakes, many lizards and tortoises, the coarse grade gives a durable surface that stands up to movement and makes spot-cleaning straightforward. Although suited to arid setups, these chips can also be used in semi-humid enclosures when humidity is managed carefully; they are not a moisture-retaining medium like moss, so pair them with damp hides or localised humid areas when higher humidity is required.

• Sustainably sourced and kiln dried – lower initial moisture and reduced chance of pests
