Fresh water should always be available for tortoises to either bathe in or drink. The colour of the New Tortoise Pool will camouflage it against the stunning vegetation and foliage already in the tank.
When setting up a vivarium for your tortoise, it’s not only important to have bushy foliage for privacy and a place to hide and feel safe, but also other accessories - for instance, a tortoise pool, such as this durable resin dish which is available in three sizes. The three available sizes of pool will easily accommodate different sizes of tortoise from young to adult, small to large. The durable resin pool is very realistic and mimics a rock pool that could be found in their natural habitat and even has steps descending into the depths which are very useful for your reptile to get a foothold if he finds that he is getting into difficulties..
Tortoises should be bathed once a week for adults and twice a week for young tortoises. There should only be enough water in the dish to reach your tortoise's chin when bathing. To wash your tortoise's shell, spray with tepid water and, for any stubborn grime on the shell, a soft toothbrush can be used to gently scrub the shell clean. The tortoise should be dried thoroughly.
Equally, tortoises should have plenty of fresh water available for drinking. Clean and replenish the dish daily to ward off nasty bacteria and prevent the water from becoming stale.
The weight of the pool also ensures it can’t be pushed around that easily so the contents don't spill out.
The smooth surface of the tortoise pool enables it to be cleaned and disinfected easily.

3 different widths available all at 30cm long.
Treat your stunning snake to some comfy bedding and make his sleep time blissful and dreamy. The superb qualities of the PR Aspen Bedding make it perfect for snakes and mammals that prefer an arid environment. It is soft, dust-free, odourless and highly absorbent. Its soft texture is ideal for burrowing or nesting and its high absorbency is ideal for mopping up spillages or waste. This bedding will provide a realistic habitat for your pet that will prove a winner for their comfort and your pocket.
ProRep Aspen bedding is produced from wood sourced from sustainable forests and is suitable for Royal Pythons, Corn Snakes, King Snakes and small mammals such as guinea pigs and hamsters.
Ensure you have the correct substrate for your type of pet as some reptiles prefer a more humid environment and need substrate that reflects this.
Directions:
Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 1 - 2” (2.5 - 5cm). Spot-clean daily and completely replace every two or three weeks or more frequently if heavily soiled or wet. If you are using an under-tank heat mat as your heat source, do not use a thick layer of Aspen as this may cause the heat mat to overheat.
Please wash your hands after handling the bedding.

A complete culture of flightless fruitflies in a pre-packed tub containing culture medium, eggs, larvae and some adult flies. The culture will continue to produce new flies for several weeks and should be kept at normal room temperature.
When setting up a vivarium for your charming crestie, it is important that his new surroundings reflect his natural environment as near as possible. The ProRep Crestie Life is perfect for using as substrate for arboreal species such as Cresties that require a high humidity environment and invertebrates such as stick insects. Put down a depth of about 5cm and your fascinating friend will revel in its touch and texture, doing a site inspection to explore every inch of his surroundings. When he’s happy that all is o.k., he will nestle down and do what he does best, basking and anticipating his next meal.
The mix of ingredients in the Crestie Life provides an open structured substrate that will hold moisture, releasing it slowly into the atmosphere to maintain a high humidity.
Crestie Life also has another use which is a growing medium for live plants that need a neutral or acid soil. It is not suitable for plants that need an alkaline soil. Because of its moisture retaining qualities and open structure, Crestie Life is also suitable as an egg laying medium and eggs laid in it will not dehydrate before they can be collected.
Ensure you have the correct substrate for your type of pet as some reptiles prefer a more dry environment and need substrate that reflects this.
Directions:
Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth suitable for the species and use.
For use as a general substrate with arboreal lizards, a layer of 2.5- 5cm is sufficient. The substrate should be kept sufficiently damp to maintain the required humidity. Water can be sprayed onto the surface where it will quickly be absorbed or can be poured into one corner to create variations in substrate water content throughout the enclosure. It is important that the substrate does not become waterlogged as this could lead to stagnation and unpleasant odours.
Crestie Life should be spot cleaned daily, removing faeces along with the substrate around it and replacing with a small amount of fresh substrate. The nature of Crestie Life means that complete changes need only be carried out if the substrate becomes waterlogged or excessively soiled.
If a heat mat is being used as a heat source for arboreal species, it is recommended that this is mounted on the wall and at the top of the terrarium. If a heat mat is used under the tank then you cannot use a thick layer of Crestie Life as this may cause the heat mat to overheat.
