Shop Sand & Gravel for Reptiles in Milford

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

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

For example, snakes favor substrate made from 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 imitates what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand products have a probiotic added that helps to break down natural waste. They maintains 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 which contains riverbed sand, to resemble the turtle's natural surroundings.

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 offers a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can add other bedding products, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are simple to set up and also assist in reducing reptile odors. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted into your reptile's environment.
