Sand Substrates

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.

ProRep Leo Life is part of the species specific life series of substrates and has been designed to meet the needs of Leopard Geckos and other desert species.

ProRep Calcium Substrates can be used as a substrate for many reptiles that originate from arid habitats. If eaten it is unlikely to cause gut impaction and actually provides a good source of calcium as it is made from pure natural limestone.

A great substrate made from natural calcium carbonate. ProRep Calcium Sands are designed to be safe to be safe if accidentally ingested, and provide extra calcium health benefits for your reptile if this occurs. It has particles which are designed to avoid impaction problems.

Directions: Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 1-2" (2.5-5cm).

Spot-clean daily and completely replace every two or three weeks, or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled or wet. Small areas of the substrate can be lightly sprayed to provide local humidity control but avoid making the substrate too wet.

If you are using an under-tank heatmat as your heat source do not use a thick layer of Calci Grit as this may cause the heatmat to overheat.

ProRep Desert Sand is an ideal substrate for creating a desert environment for reptiles like bearded dragons and leopard geckos. It is real desert sand with no added dyes or chemicals that has been sifted to remove impurities.

Our ReptiSand is available in two natural colors with no added dyes or chemicals. It stimulates natural digging and burrowing behavior and is an excellent heat conductor. ReptiSand creates a very naturalistic and attractive environment for desert reptile species. Great for bearded dragons, sand boas, soft shell turtles, etc.

Riverbed Sand is ideal for many types of aquatic turtles as it is their preferred substrate in the wild. Soft-shell turtles especially prefer the find sand for digging and burrowing. Other types of water and ground-dwelling reptiles, such as frogs and salamanders, will also benefit from Riverbed Sand because of its soft nature. A rough surface, such as gravel, can easily injure skin tissue. Riverbed Sand is very fine and can be easily secreted when ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles which can cause indigestion. Created over time in an African river, Riverbed Sand is extremely fine and round, making it an ideal and safe substrate for the aqua-terrarium.
