Whether you're running a breeding programme or setting up a hatchling tub, this heat-treated bedding delivers a dust-free, soft surface that works for even the most sensitive species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from sustainable wood processed into a fine, soft fibre, this substrate is 100% natural and fully biodegradable. Heat treatment during production reduces bacterial contamination and enhances absorbency — two factors that matter when you're managing multiple animals or monitoring hatchlings closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbsorbency \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bedding achieves a 3:1 absorption ratio, drawing moisture away from the surface efficiently. Its fast-drying properties keep the enclosure environment stable without requiring constant intervention, making it genuinely low-maintenance in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural Burrowing Behaviour\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe texture of the wood fibre allows snakes to push and compact the bedding into firm, structured burrows — closely replicating the covered shelters they would seek out in the wild. This supports natural behaviour without the keeper needing to add additional hides in every case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the vivarium, terrarium, or breeding tub is fully disinfected and dry before adding substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread an even layer with a minimum depth of 2.5 cm (1 inch) across the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot clean daily, removing soiled areas as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace the full substrate every 8 weeks or sooner if conditions require it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove reptiles from the enclosure during feeding to prevent accidental ingestion of bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well-chosen substrate makes routine husbandry quicker and supports animal welfare — the ET Snake Bedding 8L covers both without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148585587025,"sku":"SHS108","price":5.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SHS108_1.jpg?v=1782599532","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/et-snake-bedding-8l-pt2767","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
