The 10 Best Gecko Substrates
Jump to the list
How we created this gecko substrate list
We leveraged input from our veterinarians and artificial intelligence to identify key considerations to help you find the best gecko substrate.
We scanned thousands of customer reviews and ratings and scored each product based on its performance against each of the key considerations. We then considered how popular a product is with Chewy customers and combined that with its key consideration scores to create the list of the best gecko substrates.
Key gecko substrate considerations
Absorbency
This is important because geckos require a substrate that can absorb moisture from their droppings and spills. A highly absorbent substrate will help maintain a clean and healthy environment for your gecko.
Dust-free
Geckos are sensitive to dust and can develop respiratory issues if their substrate is dusty. Choosing a dust-free substrate will ensure the safety and well-being of your gecko.
Odor control
Geckos can produce strong odors, especially if their substrate is not able to control it. A substrate with good odor control will help keep your gecko's enclosure smelling fresh and clean.
Reusability
Reusable substrates are not only cost-effective, but they also reduce waste and are better for the environment. Considering the reusability of a substrate can save you money in the long run and help reduce your carbon footprint.
