Buy Sand & Gravel for Reptiles in Beverly Hills

Finding the best bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be tough. There are many different items to choose from. 

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

As an example, snakes prefer 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 blend of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a combination that imitates what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand products have a probiotic added that helps to break down organic waste. They maintains your pet's environment 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 that contains riverbed sand, to mimic the turtle's natural surroundings.

Some reptile owners prefer 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 products, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are easy to set up and also help in minimizing reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted into your reptile's environment.
