Reptiles from tropical and forest environments will feel instantly comfortable with the Jungle Mix's loamy scent, soft texture and 100% natural composition. The blend of sphagnum moss and fir shavings soaks up many times its weight in liquid, thus maintaining a naturally healthy moisture level. Experience shows that Fir/Sphagnum bedding promotes digging, breeding, nesting and egg incubation. This U.S.- made product was blended to be completely biodegradable, so it’s as good for Earth’s environment as it is for a reptile’s!
