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

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

For instance, snakes favor substrate made from sand, gravel and stone, wood shavings, and paper products.  

Lizards choose 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 mix of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a mix that resembles what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand items have a probiotic included that assists to break down natural waste. They maintains your pet's environment clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand items in a range 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 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 products, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are very easy to install and also assist in minimizing reptile odors. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
