Buy Mulch, Moss & Soil for Reptiles in Beverly Hills

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

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

For 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 mimics what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand products have a probiotic added that assists to break down natural waste. They maintains your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand products 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 which contains riverbed sand, to imitate the turtle's natural 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 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 easy to set up and also help in decreasing reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
