The finer side of coconut chip — for keepers who want a cleaner look and tighter particle control. MicroChip is a fine-grade coconut chip substrate that delivers the humidity retention and odor control you expect from premium coconut bedding, with a smaller particle size that works especially well for smaller species, hatchlings, and setups where a more refined aesthetic matters.
What it is
A ready-to-use, fine-grade coconut chip substrate. MicroChip's smaller particle size provides excellent surface coverage, reduces dust, and creates a more uniform substrate bed compared to medium or coarse chip options — while still maintaining strong moisture retention and absorbency.
What it's used for
Primary substrate for smaller reptile species and hatchlings
Enclosures where a finer, more uniform substrate texture is preferred
Humidity buffering in tropical and semi-tropical setups
Keepers who want the coconut chip performance profile in a smaller particle size
May be appropriate for
Hatchling ball pythons, corn snakes, and other juvenile snakes
Leopard geckos and other small lizard species
Smaller gecko species where larger chips may be awkward
Any keeper who prefers a finer substrate texture for aesthetics or species suitability

Low dust for a cleaner substrate experience
Husbandry notes
Fine substrates compact more readily than coarser options — fluff and aerate periodically to maintain structure and prevent anaerobic pockets in high-humidity setups. Spot-clean regularly and replace fully every 3–6 months. Monitor for mold in very humid enclosures and ensure adequate airflow.
MicroChip is a great choice for hatchlings or smaller species where standard chip size feels oversized. It's also a popular option for keepers who prefer a more refined, uniform substrate appearance.
