Swell Reptiles Tortoise Soil - Brown

Swell Reptiles Tortoise Soil is our best-selling tortoise substrate. It's a loose substrate made up of soil and sand. Made from natural materials, it's great for your tortoise and really simulates their natural environment. Like other loose substrates, it's good for drainage and will absorb some waste, reducing odour. To reduce the risk of your tortoise developing health problems, like shell rot, we recommend replacing the soil once a month. Tortoise soil has many benefits in a tortoise enclosure. If you have a tortoise that enjoys digging, the combination of sand and soil makes it particularly good for burrowing. This substrate will also serve as a bedding material for some species, but it can also be combined with tortoise bedding or even sphagnum moss if you feel your pet tortoise needs it. The soil isn't affected by heat lamps either.
