Order Reptile Subsrate and Bedding for Reptiles in Milford

Finding the best bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be challenging. There are several products to select from. 

The right option for your cold-blooded buddy depends on the species and sub-species. You want to match your habitat's bedding to the reptiles natural environment as closely as possible. 

As an example, snakes favor substrate made from sand, gravel and stone, wood shavings, and paper products.  

Lizards like 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 combination that imitates what they would find on a tropical coastline. Most sand products have a probiotic included that assists to break down organic waste. They keeps your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand items in a range of shades, including black, red and yellow, to add a little style to your habitat. 

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

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 include other bedding items, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are simple to set up and also help in reducing reptile odors. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
