• Tortoise soil has many benefits in a tortoise enclosure. If you are keeping a tortoise species that enjoys digging, the combination of sand and soil makes it particularly good for burrowing species.
• This substrate will serve as a bedding material for some species but it can also be combined with tortoise bedding or even sphagnum moss if you feel your pet tortoise needs it.
• The soil performs well under a heat lamp and overall makes for one of the best tortoise substrate options.

Q: What sort of substrate do tortoises need?

A: When it comes to the substrate or bedding for tortoises, it's important to choose something that will meet their needs. Tortoises need a substrate that will provide them with a comfortable surface to walk and rest on, as well as help regulate their body temperature and humidity.
