Directions For Use: Pour bedding into terrarium and landscape as desired. A depth of one to two inches is recommended. Remove animal waste and soiled bedding daily. Replace bedding monthly or as needed. HUMIDITY- it may be necessary to add humidity by misting depending on the species of reptile. If misting is necessary, the bedding will absorb any excess moisture which will then be released back into the terrarium over time.

Is ground walnut shells bedding good for a corn snake?
- For a snake, a better substrate would be aspen wood shavings. SKU: 1525565 or 1558943

can i use this for my beardie
- As a juvenile I would suggest reptile carpeting until your beardie is a little older. Once your bearde is older and no longer at risk of taking in a bunch of substrate along with its food the walnut shells are a fantastic substrate for beardies. You just need to be extra cautious with juvenile bearded dragons.

Is the walnut shell substrate good for the Russian Tortoise?
- Thank you for your question. The Zilla Ground English Walnut Shells can be used with all desert species of lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises and arachnids. The substrate should be deep enough that your tortoise can burrow into it.

I'm told to be careful because my beardie may eat the sand or walnuts and get sick. Is walnut safe if ingested?
- No it will cause impaction!

Can i use this for my Russian tortoise?
- Yes this is a perfect substrate and I also know some people will recommend a equal by weight with play sand to keep it moist. I mostly just use the substrate plain and try to spray it with water when its looking dry and mix it up. Don't let it get too dry because then it will get dusty and they can get respiratory problems.

Safe for leo gecko
- Thank you for your question Jenny99. This is largely personal preference. Some people will say not to use it and others will say that it is the best thing to use. There really isn’t much different than using this or sand from an animal health standpoint. Just keep an eye on them and make sure that when they eat they are not ingesting a lot of the bedding. This is the same with any substrate. If your gecko looks to take in a lot of the bedding while they eat you should use a reptile carpet liner in place of any other substrate.

How much of the walnut shells would I need to purchase for a 50 gallon aquarium for my bearded dragon?
- I bought 50 qts... it worked well for me... the tank is only half full, but you need room for branches and things to climb on. ( its about 90lbs, or 30L)

how much ground walnut shells do I need for a 50 gallon tank
- Thank you for your question tweetiebug. It will depend on how deep you like the substrate in your terrarium, but typically a 25QT bag will work for the initial fill then you top off from their as needed.
