Reptiles habitats require a suitable substrate to complete their environment. It is very important to choose the right type of substrate for your reptile as the wrong type could be harmful. For example, Bearded Dragons require sand as they are from a dry climate, however, baby Bearded Dragons can be at risk on sand until they reach a certain age as it can be ingested and cause impaction which can be very serious. Tropical reptiles require a moist substrate to regulate their humidity in their habitat and without it they could become ill. A reptile’s habitat is a balance and each item is very important to their overall health and wellbeing. You can also provide foliage for your pet to hide and feel safe. Plants and leaves that go with your pet’s environment can make a big difference to your habitat.
Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 1-2 (2.5 to 5cm). Spot clean daily and completely replace every two or three weeks, or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled or wet. Small areas of the substrate can be lightly sprayed to provide local humidity control but avoid making the substrate too wet.
