Walnut shells are non-toxic and considerably lighter than the sand-based products available on the market. This makes them an appealing option for reptile owners who are tired of carting heavy bags of waste away when the time comes to change the bedding. Plus, English walnut shell bedding doesn’t give off dust which helps create a cleaner, healthier environment for your reptiles as they slither about and sleep the days away.

One of the reasons that reptiles enjoy English walnut shell bedding so much is that it is an excellent heat conductor. For cold blooded animals, it is like giving them a blanket that will keep them warm regardless of whether the A/C is running or the window is open. This not only improves their mood, but it also makes them more active and encourages them to dig and burrow exactly as they would in nature.

In addition to being light, easy to clean-up, and comfortable for your lizard, English walnut shell bedding won’t scratch or damage your aquarium glass. This considerably reduces the possibility the glass will break or that continued scratches over time will ruin your view of your favorite lizard. This will not only prolong the life of the aquarium, but it will provide enhanced enjoyment for years to come.

One final thing that is worth mentioning is that pet owners can select the coarseness that is best for their pet. Thus, if Pete the Dragon prefers a finer grain, it’s easy to swap the walnut shells out until the pet owner finds one that fits their pet perfectly.
