Shop Carpet & Liners for Reptiles in Lakewood

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

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

For 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 uniformity. 

Hermit crabs like a mixture of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a combination that imitates what they would find on a tropical coastline. Most sand items 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 items in a variety of tones, 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 which contains riverbed sand, to resemble the turtle's natural environment.

Some reptile owners choose 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 gives a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can include other bedding items, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are simple to set up and also assist in lowering reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted into your reptile's habitat.
