HabiStat Bearded Dragon Bedding is a 100% natural desert substrate specifically developed to replicate the ground conditions found in the natural habitat of Bearded Dragons and other arid species. Made from a carefully balanced blend of clay, sand and grit, it provides a more authentic alternative to standard reptile substrates.
The varied particle sizes found within the substrate closely mirror natural desert terrain, making it particularly suitable for species that dig, burrow, and seek out microclimates within their enclosure.
Supports Natural Behaviour & Enclosure Function
The clay-based component allows the substrate to retain moisture when lightly sprayed, creating small damp areas similar to those naturally found in burrows and hides. These humidity pockets are often sought out by Bearded Dragons during shedding or when additional moisture is required.
This moisture retention also helps encourage natural digging behaviour, allowing reptiles to interact with their environment in a more instinctive and enriching way.
Suitable for Desert Species
This substrate is ideal for Bearded Dragons and other desert-dwelling reptiles that require dry surface conditions with access to occasional localized humidity. It can be used throughout the enclosure or selectively in specific areas such as hides and digging zones.
Natural, Hygienic & Environmentally Responsible
HabiStat Bearded Dragon Bedding is free from artificial additives and is supplied in a 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper bag, reducing environmental impact while maintaining product freshness.

Yes. It is made from 100% natural materials and is specifically designed for Bearded Dragons and other desert species.
Does this substrate support digging behaviour?
Yes. The clay, sand and grit blend allows reptiles to dig and form shallow burrows, encouraging natural behaviour.
Can this substrate hold moisture?
When lightly sprayed, the clay content allows small damp areas to form, similar to natural humidity pockets found in burrows.
Is this substrate suitable for other reptiles?
It is suitable for other arid and desert-dwelling reptiles with similar environmental requirements.
