I'd suggest buying two or three so you can get a better idea. It isn't going to hurt you any, since you'd then have a clear idea what you need to buy the next time! Also, be aware bugs will attempt to nest in this product during the heat, so I'd go with pine in the summer months if that would be an issue. **Q: I have a desert tortoise is it okay to use?** A: I would say yes. I use it for a box turtle in a terrarium and keep it sprayed with water for good humidity. Desert torts don't need that necessarily. Even young, they'll get their moisture from food. My older desert tort lives out in the backyard all summer, but he's pretty old. **Q: Is this suitable for a tomato frog? I was planning on mixing it with ecoearth and spaghum moss to retain humidity.** A: I don't know anything about tomato frogs but I have a tortoise and need to retain some moisture for humidity in his home and I'm able to use a squirter bottle to add moisture to his bedding as needed. Seems to work just fine. **Q: Is the bedding good for a burmese python?** A: I use it for a ball python ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on 2 July 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***X on 27 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***A on 14 July 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Zoo Med Forest Floor Bedding, 8.8 Litre - zoomed Zoo Med EE-8 Eco Earth Substrate Loose Pack, 8.8 Litres - Komodo Habitat Moss Compact Brick, May Vary --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/380135852-forest-floor-bedding-8-8-litre](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/380135852-forest-floor-bedding-8-8-litre) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
