On what's missing

Komodo haven't given us a particle size, a dust rating, or handling guidance for this substrate, so if you're keeping a species sensitive to fine dust or need a specific chip size, it's worth checking the bag itself rather than relying on this page alone.

Why we chose it

Beech chips work across snakes, lizards and tortoises rather than being tied to one species, which makes it sensible to stock in one size rather than several species-specific bags. Komodo's own claim that it also suits semi-humid setups adds flexibility beyond the arid tanks it's aimed at.

Full description

A reptile's substrate does two jobs at once: it has to suit the environment the animal actually needs, and it has to be safe if a piece of it is swallowed by accident.

Komodo's Beech Chips are a wood-chip substrate suited to reptiles kept in an arid setup — snakes, lizards and tortoises are all named as suitable — and Komodo say it also works in a semi-humid enclosure. It's sold in a 6-litre bag.

Who it's for: keepers of arid-setup reptiles — snakes, lizards or tortoises — wanting a wood-chip substrate rather than sand or bark.
