Economical and dust-free, ProRep Beech Chips are suitable for many larger species of snakes, lizards, birds and mammals. They are produced from kiln-dried wood harvested from sustainable forests.
Directions: Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm). Spot-clean daily and completely replace every two or three weeks, or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled or wet.
If you are using an under-tank heatmat as your heat source do not use a thick layer of Beech Chips as this may cause the heatmat to overheat.
Please refer to the heatmat manufacturer's instructions for more information.

ProRep Tortoise Life is the most popular tortoise-specific substrate on the market, created to meet the needs of tortoises originating from arid habitats, particularly Mediterranean and Russian tortoises. It has a 50:50 mix of high-quality loam topsoil and sand, with a little limestone grit added to provide calcium if the substrate is eaten. This mixture simulates the texture and moisture retention characteristics of the soils found in their natural habitats far more closely than many other available substrates.
Tortoise Life is used by many specialist tortoise breeders and keepers, along with several zoos including London Zoo.

ProRep Tortoise Life Bio is a new version of our classic Tortoise Life substrate, comprising 66% loam topsoil with 34% added coir for water retention, and no mineral grit. Although impaction is commonly regarded as a husbandry issue, this grit-free product has been designed for those keepers concerned about potential impaction of limestone grit. Additionally, coir will assist in the essential need for moisture retention, while also enabling the enrichment opportunity for easier burrowing. With the bio-active trend booming, this substrate can also be considered a good planting material too. Mixing ProRep Tortoise Seeds into Tortoise Life Bio substrate will create natural foraging opportunities, and by adding a clean-up crew of Granulated Isopods ideally suited to these Mediterranean conditions, it will bring tortoise keeping into the bioactive era.
