Finding the right bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be tough. There are many different products to pick from. 

The ideal choice for your cold-blooded friend depends on the species and sub-species. You want to match your environment's bedding to the reptiles natural environment as closely as possible. 

For instance, snakes like substrate made from sand, gravel and stone, wood shavings, and paper products.  

Lizards choose to sleep on sand and gravel. 

Desert-dwellers, such as bearded dragons and skinks, like walnut wheels that are ground into a sand-like consistency. 

Hermit crabs like a blend of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a combination that resembles what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand products have a probiotic included that assists to break down natural waste. They keeps your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand items in a selection of tones, including black, red and yellow, to add a little style to your environment. 

If you have a pet turtle, you'll want to get a substrate that contains riverbed sand, to mimic the turtle's native environment.

Some reptile owners prefer to place a carpet liner in their pet's environment. This can be used with most reptiles and can be cut to fit your tank. A carpet liner provides a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can include various other bedding items, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are simple to install and also help in lowering reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
