FAQ

How much substrate should I use for a 20‑gallon terrarium?

For a 20‑gallon enclosure, a depth of 2‑3 inches of aspen shavings is recommended. This provides enough material for burrowing while allowing easy cleaning and moisture control.

Can I use ProRep Aspen Bedding with live plants?

Yes, the substrate is plant‑friendly. Its light texture supports root growth, and its natural absorbency helps maintain a stable humidity level that benefits most tropical and desert plants.

Is the substrate safe for hatchlings?

Absolutely. The fine, soft fibers are gentle on delicate skin and scales, making it an excellent choice for newborn reptiles and amphibians that require a soft bedding surface.

How should I store any leftover bedding?

Keep the remaining shavings in a sealed, dry container away from direct sunlight. This preserves the absorbency and prevents contamination, ensuring the substrate remains ready for future use.

What makes ProRep Aspen Bedding different from other wood‑based substrates?

ProRep uses sustainably harvested aspen that is processed to retain its natural fiber structure, offering superior moisture wicking and lower dust levels compared to generic pine or cedar products, which can release aromatic oils harmful to reptiles.
