Get Reptile Subsrate and Bedding for Reptiles in Mission Viejo

Getting the best bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be difficult. There are several items to choose from. 

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

As an example, snakes like 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 mix that imitates what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand items have a probiotic included that assists to break down organic waste. They maintains your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand products in a variety of tones, 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 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 items, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are simple to set up and also help in decreasing reptile odors. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted into your reptile's environment.
