{"product_id":"pr-straw-bedding-25-litre","title":"ProRep Straw Bedding 25 Litre – Reptile Substrate for Arid Species","description":"\u003cp\u003ePR Straw Bedding is a compressed straw pellet substrate suited to tortoises, large snakes, and lizards from arid environments. The pellets break down into a soft, loose bedding that poses a low impaction risk if ingested — a genuine consideration when keeping species that actively dig or forage through their substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for keepers of arid-habitat reptiles, this substrate works well for tortoises and large terrestrial species including many commonly kept snakes and lizards. It is not suitable for use in humid or wet vivarium setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread evenly across the enclosure floor to a minimum depth of 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). Spot-clean daily to remove waste, and carry out a full substrate change every two to three weeks. If the bedding becomes heavily soiled or wet before that point, replace it sooner. This substrate should always be kept dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing with Heat Mats\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf an under-tank heat mat is your primary heat source, keep the layer of PR Straw Bedding thin directly above it. An overly thick layer can cause heat to build up and may lead to the mat overheating. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on substrate depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 25 litres, this bag provides enough substrate for a meaningful initial fill or several replacement cycles in a standard tortoise table or vivarium, making it a practical choice for regular maintenance routines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148642537809,"sku":"SPS025","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SPS025_1.jpg?v=1782600263","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-straw-bedding-25-litre","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
