Buy Mulch, Moss & Soil for Reptiles in Mission Viejo

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

The best choice 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 instance, snakes like substrate made of 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 uniformity. 

Hermit crabs like a combination of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a mix that resembles 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 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 habitat. 

If you have a pet turtle, you'll want to get a substrate that contains riverbed sand, to imitate the turtle's native environment.

Some reptile owners choose to put 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 provides 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 minimizing reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's habitat.
