Ingredients: Ground English Walnut Shells.

Directions for use:

1. Pour bedding into terrarium and landscape as desired. A depth of one to two inches is recommended. Greater bedding depths may be required for many burrowing reptiles.
2. Remove animal waste and soiled bedding daily. Replace bedding monthly or as needed.

Feeding: Always feed reptiles from a shallow bowl or plate and use a separate bowl for fresh water. When feeding live food, it is best to feed the reptile in a separate container such as a cloth bag (snakes) or a terrarium that contains no bedding.

Humidity: It may be necessary to add humidity by misting, depending on the species of reptile. If misting is necessary, the bedding will absorb any excess moisture, which will then be released back into the terrarium over time.

This works so well for our Bearded Dragon. It allows for easy clean up. Keeps warm and helps with odors. Highly recommended!

This substrate is worked really well for my Savannah Monitor. Cleaning was real easy; just a cat scoop works great and no mess at all.

I really like how this substrate works for my African Fat Tailed Geckos. I especially like how it actually emits heat and cleaning is easy, too. I would highly suggest it.
