Suitable for Bearded Dragons and other desert species. 100% natural, HabiStat Bearded Dragon Bedding is a blend of clay, sand and grit, designed specially for Bearded Dragons.The blend of aggregates can be found in the Bearded Dragon's natural environment and are therefore better suited than the standard substrates available. The mixed particles allow for moisture retention when spayed which create wet areas that would be naturally found in hides or burrows.Bearded Dragons seek out these damp areas when shedding or requiring more humidity so this in turn encourages digging.Our range of HabiStat substrates are packed in 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper bags.Available in 5kg and 10kg bags. Directions for Use: Spread substrate evenly across vivarium base ensuring a depth of 2-3"" (5-7.5cm). Do not overfill if using underfloor heating. Spot clean as required and replace regularly.

ProRep Beardie Life is part of the species specific life series of substrates and has been designed to meet the needs of Bearded Dragons and other desert species. In the wild there are few species that actually live on pure sand and so Beardie Life has been designed to mimic the sandy soil more typical of desert habitats. Beardie Life contains a mixture of sand and soil to create a realistic looking and feeling substrate which encourages natural behaviour, such as digging and foraging, and which aids the maintenance of a suitable environment. The addition of soil to the mixture reduces the risk of impaction sometimes seen with pure sand, while enhancing the moisture retention ability of the substrate.
Bio active substrates are designed to allow the maintenance of living ecosystems inside the terrarium. ProRep Bio-Life substrate is carefully blended from a mixture of ingredients to provide the optimum combination of structure, PH and nutrient content for plants from arid environments. When used in a planted terrarium, a living ecosystem can be created where the terrarium occupants co-exist with the plants and microorganisms to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. The microorganisms digest waste material, which is in turn taken up by the plants for growth, locking away harmful nitrogen while creating a living, natural habitat. Because an arid environment set up is dry, with low humidity, then it can be more difficult to maintain than forest set ups. With the proper design however, it is possible to recreate a moist zone in the base of the terrarium to mimic the moisture commonly found underground in deserts. This moist zone provides a reservoir of water which plants and microorganisms can access, while the surface of the substrate remains dry.
