Reptiles need to have substrate designed specifically for their species in their habitat to support their humidity needs, and closely replicate its natural environment. Many species will have more than one option available, and it will come down to your personal preference for what is most visually appealing to you for your home.
There are several types of bedding that can be used for your pet reptile—depending on their species. Select a substrate based on your pet’s natural environment and humidity requirements. As a good rule of thumb, use bark or coconut substrate for species that require humidity and sand, carpet or aspen for desert species.
Conduct daily spot cleaning where waste is visible. Complete substrate changes will vary depending on your species, how many reptiles are housed in the same enclosure and the size of your habitat. At a minimum, complete substrate changes are recommended twice per month.

Hello I just got a Reeves turtle and was asking is dirt a good substrate for basking area as I saw it on YouTube? Thanks
Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost looks like they are crusty. I have a cypress mulch and jungle mix substrate in his cage which is about 4 inches at the highest and 1 inch in his basking are but it's kept well watered. Thank You!
Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?
Good morning I bought a green tree python from you guys about 1 month ago. She is looking a little dull in color, what might she need? Also does she need substrate in her home? Thank you
I am thinking about making an outdoor enclosure for my Australian bearded dragon, what plants should I put in for him to feel at home
I am setting up a new habitat for my 2 sibling gerbils. I want it to be as natural of a habitat as their ancestors in the wild live in. Which substrate would you recommend that would be as natural as they would receive in their desert environment?
Pets been chewing on mulch and has not been eatting a lot lately
I saw many breeders using sawdust or wood mulch for whelping box bedding is it good?
I just bought some loose coconut fiber bedding. They used to just have dirt. After the change he began to try to escape to the female toad's habitat and hasnt calmed down. He is also getting the fiber grounds in his water bowl. Is there anything I can do to calm him down and also keep his bowl clean? Our female adapted just fine and doesnt get any in her bowl. I think its because he keeps jumping around and making a mess.
Our Anole lizard swallowed a piece of substrate bark today, about the size of his head. Will Eco Earth brand bark digest, or should I be concerned about blockage? He's a beloved family member, and although he is acting fine, I wanted your expert advice. Thank you very much.
Hello, My neighbor has a red ear slider than recently got all of it's limbs chewed off. I asked him if I could help him take care of the poor thing because my neighbor is an older man. I currently have the turtle in a tank with moist coconut fiber, no water.
