  • Great quality and good product very happy
Size: 10-Pound Color: Yellow
It is a great product for any encloser. Just remember to mix it with some excavator clay and water it down so that dust isn't flying around and getting in your lizards nostrils. The size is very and you get lots of sand for just 10 pounds, it is very easy to clean up after your pets if it is packed down and very easy to use as you just dump it down and water it down. It feels soft and it is real sand so it is very good. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone thinking about substrate for you pet lizards or fish. ... show more

  • It's sand. 5 stars
Size: 10-Pound Color: Red
I liked the color, and I mixed it with some Desert Soil by Josh's Frogs for my BDFB enclosure. Little handle on top makes pouring really easy. It definitely kicked up some dust when I initially poured it, but not as badly as I was expecting. Didn't notice any odor, just smelled like rocks. Super fine-grain and is a very nice color. ... show more

  • Awesome!
Size: 10-Pound Color: Red
I would buy it again but my Syrian hamster (Chimuelita) is black so she's always looking reddish. And she pees on it which I really like that she pees on it. But if you need it for your hamster I totally recommend it. Hope this helps!

  • The bearded dragon loves it!
Size: 10-Pound Color: Red
The bearded dragon enjoys his sand and being able to move it around. I felt the cost was a bit high but the dragon loves it.

  • Great color and value for product
Size: 10-Pound Color: Red
I purchased this as a filler or addition to desert reptile sand for my beardies dig area. It blended in well with the premium priced ADS. Moisture retention was a bit better with this blended in as well. Only feedback is that I got it for $10 one day, went back two days later for another bag - the price doubled. You can purchase play sand for a fraction of the cost and triple the product - but I wanted to maintain the orange/ brown color for visual appeal on my enclosure. ... show more
