Questions
I have a 4 year old uromastyx. Is this a good substrate for it? 25 QT does not say "Desert Mix" is it the same?
- I have used this with my 4 year old uromastyx without issue. It does get dusty after it dries out for a couple weeks. No impaction yet.

Can u mist the sand or will it make it smell an mold
- Hi there! It may be necessary to add humidity by misting depending on the species of reptile. If misting is necessary, the bedding will absorb any excess moisture which will then be released back into the terrarium over time.

I see this is bad for juvenile bearded dragons what about a juvenile uromastyx? We have been using the alfalfa reptile bedding right now.
- Hi there! For juvenile uromastyx, it would be safest to use a terrarium liner or other non-particulate substrate to avoid accidental ingestion.
Helpful?
i was wondering if i can use this for a leopard gecko
- I do not use this for my leopard gecko. Prefer using the soil with coconut fibers & sparingly use moss to help with humidity & shedding.

I heard on a quilting TV show that lizard litter was great for stuffing pin cushions...even sharpens the pins! Would this item be what I need to buy for that?
- This is Perfect for pin cushions! Exactly what you need!

Should I use this bedding for my 2 month Russian tortoise? if not what would you recommend.
- This bedding is wonderful. I use it for my bearded dragon and have never had an issue, even when she eats some of it on accident. Shells are digestible. I highly recommend this product.

Will one 10quart cover the bottom of a 40 breeder tank ? If yes will it be 1 inch or two inch deep of substrate
- Yes, it will be approximately 2 inches coverage, should kept another bag on hand to fill in with scooping
Helpful?
Does anyone know if this will be good for a crevice spiny lizard? It is a desert lizard.
- Hi there! Actually, we do offer a Desert Blend bedding!
Helpful?
Is this product suitable to use to put inside pin cushions?
- I think so. It has a slight walnut smell and it has a consistency of sand.
Helpful?
How much is 10 quarts? What does that weigh
- 10 quarts of water weighs approx. 20.75 lbs. Surely this stuff weighs less than water. More like 14~lbs.

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?
Hi i was just woundering what is the best substrate for iguanas because alot of people say astro terf or vinyl because the lick most substrate abd can become impacted
SO i am thinking about getting a leopard gecko, but i am not spending a ridiculous amount of money on a cage so i am using a plastic laundrey hamper that seems about maybe 10 gallons and i am setting up little hiddy spots and stuff but i dont know wha tbeedding i should use and how much light they need please hep :)
I have a new Ball Python that eats allright, but it stays in it's hide all the time, day and night. I keep the temperature gradient consistant. The hide is the black square with a hole in one end. I feed him in a separate clear habitat. The substrate is aspen bedding wich, consists of perfectly square 3mm pieces that stick to every thing it comes in contact withincluding the snake wich is covered. I have to mist more than seven times a day to keep the humidity above 40%. One quart at a time.
Hello I have 4 boy guinea pigs and I want ro know what the best bedding cause my oldest piggies hes coughs sometimes like he got something in his throat and money for the vet is expensive and I need to know where can I found a good place for piggies
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!
I have a pitbull/bulldog mix that stays outside who is allergic to cedar bedding and pine is there a hypoallergenic bedding for outside animals?
Is this a good setup for Nighthawk, the first photo is the over all setup, the second one is the side view and the third is the water and calcium dishes. I use an under tank heater that stays at about 88 degrees Fahrenheit and the vines are fake. He has a warm hide and a cold hide with moss in it that’s i spray down every other day. The little box is another little hide that I can see him in. And the background is tile it paper rolls that were painted(they were left to dry for two weeks)
pet yellow head turtle back release layer is it any problem or it is natural plzz help
I have a baby red eared slider a friend bought from Chinatown then couldn’t keep. I believe it’s about 1-2 months old as it wasn’t even old enough to eat when I recieved it. I have him set up in a filtered tank with a dry rock area and some caves in the water that he likes to sit on. He’s developed a couple small white spots on his shell and I’m worried that it’s some kind of infection but I also don’t know if he’s maybe starting to shed his shell.
I bought a wounded baby gecko, I mean wounded because it's tail is gone. I'm not sure how old or what gender it is yet because of it missing its tail. My questions are I put a piece of clean dried drift wood & some dried out lemons & oranges in its aquarium is that ok or harmful? I also added moisture to its substrate & shallow dish of calcium powder & crickets sprinkled with it. Its tail don't seem to growing. Its only 3+half inches long,any suggestions would be great. Please & thank you
She always sleeping or out of sight . I rarely see her out and when I do it’s been early in the mornings or I’ll hear her on her wheel a few minutes at night.. she lives in a 40 gallon breeder tank that’s got great venalation and chew toys,treats,sand bath, etc everything she could ever want!. Any idea why she isn’t very active? Any way I can help her to be more active?
