    Hi, I'm just posting on this to see if anyone has any advice. I'm trying to redo my leopard geckos enclosure i use to have her on sand but changed her to kitchen roll after learning how dangerous it can be, but now I'm just having trouble working out which substrate to use I'm currently thinking...

    Hi guys! I've sourced a Chuckwalla finally so I'm amazingly excited to get them all set up. I've got a viv and I'm looking for inspiration so I would love any tips and pics you have of your desert set ups! On another note, I know a lot of people like to use play sand - how do you clean it and...

    If my house humidity is around 60%, can I use aspen in a Boa enclosure or no?

    I'm taking the leap and changing my crested geckos to a bio active setup. I was looking for orchid bark and could find any. I came across this and have picked up as part of a mix of top soil sphagnum moss. It seams the only extra ingredients are seramis granuals (similar to clay ball and lava...

    I’ve been scouring for ages for a suitable substrate for my Leo. I’ve heard that stone slates have good grip, 0 impaction risk and don’t need replaced unless cracked. Are these things true and would it make a good substrate for my gecko? Also how should I set it up UPDATE!: Gonna get a soil and...

    Hi guys :) I wanted to know people opinions on the best kind of bedding to use for Drymarchon or other highly messy reptiles 🐍 Whether it be through personal experience of usage or possibly bedding suggestions that you think works well in terms of absorbency and odor reducing. I currently use...

    Hello just looking for some opinions and help, I have 6 ball pythons all different ages and I have had them for years so I'm quiet experienced with them. Usually for substrate I use a mixture of coco fibre/husk and coco brick (cant remember the exact name but I'm sure you will understand) and...

    Hello! first post here, I was wondering what substrate would be best for a Fat Tail. I was thinking about getting eco earth, or coconut fiber, but I do not know what I am actually supposed to get. Should I try a sand mixture with eco earth? I heard that they might accidentally eat substrate...

    A local plant shop has a pet leopard gecko in THE most amazing terrarium ever and I want to model mine just like it. Have a look: The employee has a degree in plants (idk what it’s called but she can name the scientific name for every plant you show her.) She showed me what she uses for the...

    Hey guys. I’m getting a baby corn snake tomorrow. I use bedmax shavings for my pet rats as the dust is extracted. Would this be safe to use with a snake. I can’t find much in bedmax and snakes online

    Does anyone have any experience using crinkle paper or shredded paper as a substrate? I am thinking about using this on top of paper sheets. I am looking for a dark substrate for my black rat snake that is safe and allows for digging. It says its non-toxic to animals and humans. But just...

    So, i'm getting a 48 x 18 x 18 for a baby male royal, i hope it's not too big for them. But anyway, how much coconut husk substrate is needed to fill the vivarium enough? (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exo-Terra-Terrarium-Substrate-Quart/dp/B01KV8EUBK?th=1 is this enough?) and how often do i need...

    Does anyone know of a dark (preferably black) substrate that is safe for Black Rat Snakes? Most substrates I have seen other than dirt or some sand are light colored. Trying to keep monochromatic black if possible. Is charcoal safe or maybe cinder (Like people use for plants)? I know these...

    I currently use Beardie Life which my Uro (geyri) loves to burrow in. It looks great for a day or too but then it goes a sort-of faded white colour (not sure if this is heat or UV exposure). It is also a nightmare to replace and dispose of. Not to mention the price. What are people using on...

    I have been looking everywhere, all my local pet shops, online, with friends but I can't get my hands on the substrate I use for my tortoise. I use plantation soil from exoterra and everywhere I look its sold out. My tortoise (henry) really needs some new substrate. Its starting to smell. Does...

    I just upgraded my yearling Suriname BC from an Exo Terra Large Low with, I know, repti-carpet, to a brand new 6' Boaphile with Reptile Prime Coconut Fiber (not the fine). I moved her into her new home last night. She immediately burrowed under the substrate - the first time she has ever been...
