Buy Carpet & Liners for Reptiles in Salt Lake City

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

The right choice for your cold-blooded friend 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 favor 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 mixture of sand, silt, and coconut fiber, a combination that mimics what they would find on a tropical beach. Most sand products have a probiotic added that helps to break down natural waste. They keeps your pet's environment clean and fresh-smelling. You can get sand items in a selection of shades, 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 mimic the turtle's native 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 offers a soft surface for your reptile's underbelly. You can add various other bedding products, such as bark, wood shavings, or moss over the carpet. Pet carpets are very easy to set up and also assist in lowering reptile smells. They can be removed, rinsed to clean, and reinserted into your reptile's environment.
