Why is substrate choice so important?

Choosing the right substrate for your particular reptile/amphibian is very important. You need to consider temperature, humidity, tendency of your animal to ingest. While some types may be ideal for one species, they can be a risk for others.

Is it ok to use cedar wood chips as a substrate for my thick-toed gecko?

Although wood-based substrates are good for arborial reptiles, I do not recommend the use of wood substrates. They lack in absorbency and odor control. They have also been said to hurt the feet of reptiles/cause splinters.

We just bought a red-spotted newt and are having a hard time picking a type of substrate to use. Can anyone recommend a good substrate for a newt?

I recommend using natural colored aquarium gravel as a substrate for your newt. Some people use moss; however I find that gravel works better. It can be purchased at almost any pet shop.

What kind of substrate should I use for my iguana?

Iguanas are known to "******-flick" their environment, so the type of substrate you choose can be very crucial. You do not want something that can stick to their tongues and later be ingested and harmful. Try products such as paper towel, non-toxic ink newspaper, or butcher paper. Many people also like to use artificial grass.
