Order Mulch, Moss & Soil for Reptiles in Canton

Finding the best bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be tough. There are various items to select 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 example, snakes like substrate made of sand, gravel and stone, wood shavings, and paper products.  

Lizards prefer 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 mixture of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a mix that mimics what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand items have a probiotic added that helps to break down natural waste. They keeps your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand items in a variety of colors, 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 resemble the turtle's natural environment.

Some reptile owners choose to place a carpet liner in their pet's habitat. This can be used with most reptiles and can be cut to fit your tank. A carpet liner gives a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can add other bedding items, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are very easy to install and also assist in decreasing reptile smells. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
