ProRep Beech Chips Fine

ProRep Beech Chips Fine is a natural loose substrate suited to a wide range of larger snakes, lizards, birds, and small mammals. Kiln-dried and dust-free, it provides a clean, workable base layer for vivariums and terrariums where a natural wood chip aesthetic is preferred.

What It's Made From

Produced from kiln-dried wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, these fine-grade chips are processed to minimise dust — an important consideration for animals sensitive to airborne particles and for keepers who want a cleaner maintenance routine.

Laying the Substrate

Spread evenly across the floor of the enclosure to a minimum depth of 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). This gives occupants adequate coverage while keeping the layer manageable for spot-cleaning. Spot-clean daily and replace the substrate fully every two to three weeks, or sooner if it becomes wet or heavily soiled.

Using With Heat Mats

If an under-tank heat mat is your primary heat source, avoid applying the chips in a thick layer directly above it. Excessive depth over a heat mat can restrict heat dissipation and cause the mat to overheat. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on minimum and maximum substrate depth.

Available Sizes

ProRep Beech Chips Fine is available in a range of sizes to suit everything from a single-animal setup to a larger collection or regular bulk top-ups. Select the quantity that best matches your enclosure size and restocking frequency from the options on this page.
