ProRep Coco Chip Substrate

ProRep Coco Chip is a coconut husk chip substrate suited to a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Available in two sizes to suit both smaller terrariums and larger vivarium setups, it's a practical, natural-looking substrate for keepers who want function alongside aesthetics.

Preparation and Use

The substrate is supplied in a compressed block format that expands when water is added, making it straightforward to prepare before laying it in the enclosure. Once expanded, it produces a loose, chunky chip material that settles well across the vivarium floor.

Encouraging Natural Behaviour

The chip structure provides enough depth and give to support digging and burrowing activity — important for species that exhibit these behaviours in the wild. A substrate that allows natural expression of these instincts contributes directly to the animal's wellbeing.

Humidity Retention

Coco chip holds moisture effectively, making it a dependable choice for rainforest, tropical, and high-humidity vivarium setups. It helps maintain ambient humidity levels between misting sessions, reducing the need for constant intervention.

Versatility Across Species

Suitable for use with reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, ProRep Coco Chip works across a broad range of tropical and semi-tropical setups. Whether you're housing dart frogs, chameleons, tarantulas, or burrowing snakes, the chip texture adapts well to different enclosure styles.

Choose the size that matches the scale of your enclosure — both options are available to select directly on this page. Buying in the larger quantity suits keepers setting up bigger vivariums or those who prefer to keep a supply to hand for top-ups and substrate changes.
