HabiStat Leopard Gecko Bedding is a 100% natural desert substrate designed to replicate the ground conditions found in the natural habitat of Leopard Geckos and other arid species. Made from a carefully balanced blend of clay, sand and grit, it provides a naturalistic and functional enclosure base.
The varied particle sizes closely resemble desert terrain, making this substrate particularly suitable for species that dig, burrow, and seek out microclimates within their environment.
Supports Natural Behaviour & Enclosure Function
The clay component of the substrate allows it to retain moisture when lightly sprayed, creating small damp areas similar to those found naturally in hides and burrows. Leopard Geckos instinctively seek out these areas during shedding or when additional humidity is required.
This moisture retention, combined with the mixed particle structure, encourages natural digging behaviour and interaction with the enclosure.
Suitable for Desert Species
This substrate is ideal for Leopard Geckos and other desert-dwelling reptiles that require dry surface conditions with access to occasional localized humidity. It can be used across the entire vivarium or selectively in hides and digging zones.
Natural, Hygienic & Environmentally Responsible
HabiStat Leopard Gecko Bedding contains no artificial additives and is supplied in a 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper bag, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining product quality.
Directions for Use:
Spread the substrate evenly across the vivarium base to a depth of approximately 5–7.5 cm (2–3 inches). Do not overfill if using underfloor heating. Spot clean as required and replace regularly to maintain a hygienic enclosure.
Please note: this product is a heavy item and may incur higher shipping costs.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this substrate safe for Leopard Geckos?
Yes. It is made from 100% natural materials and is specifically designed for Leopard Geckos and other desert species.
Does this substrate support digging behaviour?
Yes. The clay, sand and grit blend allows Leopard Geckos to dig and form shallow burrows.
Can this substrate help with shedding?
Yes. When lightly sprayed, it can form small damp areas that Leopard Geckos naturally seek out during shedding.
Is this substrate suitable for other reptiles?
It is suitable for other arid and desert-dwelling reptiles with similar environmental requirements.
