Komodo's Beech Chips offer a versatile flooring solution for most reptiles including snakes and lizards. Ideal for use with reptiles requiring an arid environment, beech chips can also be used with reptiles needing a semi-humid environment. When using Komodo Beech chips with under floor heating, care must be taken to ensure no more than a 2cm layer is placed on top of the heater. Beech chips are an excellent insulator, however using a layer of chips over the recommended depth can quickly cause thermal blocking, which can lead to high temperatures and potentially can cause a hazardous situation. Spot clean soiled bedding daily and replace with fresh Beech chips. Change all bedding at least once a month.
