Get Carpet & Liners for Reptiles in Scappoose

Getting the right bedding for your pet snake, turtle or lizard can be tough. There are various items to pick from. 

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

For example, snakes like substrate made of sand, gravel and stone, wood shavings, and paper products.  

Lizards like 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 blend 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 helps to break down natural waste. They maintains your pet's habitat clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand products in a variety of colors, 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 that contains riverbed sand, to imitate the turtle's natural environment.

Some reptile owners prefer to put a carpet liner in their pet's habitat. This can be used with most reptiles and can be cut to fit your tank. A carpet liner provides a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can include other bedding products, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are easy to set up and also help in lowering reptile smells. They can be removed, washed to clean, and reinserted right into your reptile's environment.
