What is lizard substrate?

Lizard substrate consists of the material that lines the bottom of a lizard's tank or terrarium. Lizard bedding and substrate CREATE a comfortable and natural-looking environment for your pet. Additionally, bedding or substrate can encourage burrowing, help with waste removal, and maintain humidity. The substrate can be made from a variety of materials, such as sand, soil, reptile carpets, and more.

What is the difference between lizard bedding and substrate?

Lizard bedding and substrate are often used to mean the same thing; however, there are some technical differences. Lizard substrate specifically refers to the material lining the bottom of the tank or terrarium. Lizard bedding refers to the hiding and nesting material that helps keep your pet insulated.

What do you put in the bottom of a lizard tank?

There are a variety of materials you can put in the bottom of a lizard tank. Some common materials include soil, sand, paper towels, and even reptile carpet.

How often should I change my lizard's substrate?

The frequency of changing the substrate depends on the type of substrate and your lizard. Research the specific needs of your lizard and consult your veterinarian. Spot-cleaning is needed daily, but a complete change can vary from 1–3 months, or sooner if the substrate needs it. A bio-active substrate, like special soil, may last longer between cleaning.

Which materials make good lizard bedding?

A variety of materials can make good lizard bedding. Some lizard bedding options include reptile carpeting, cypress mulch, aspen shavings, bark, sphagnum moss, and even newspaper or paper towels.
