  • Very nice enclosure sand.
Color: Yellow Size: 10-Pound
It feels really nice. Doesn’t have any weird impurities in it. Looks authentic. My Sand Spider enjoys it and I wanted something that was organic vs play sand since it’s an expensive spider with a nice enclosure. Might as well.

  • My Bearded Dragon loves this sand and it keeps the heat in the tank, so much easier to clean!
Color: Red Size: 10-Pound
This sand is great for my bearded dragons tank. It makes it so much easier to clean up after him. One bag was perfect for my 50 gallon tank. It definitely helped reduce smells and keeps heat in the tank . Great price for the bag size. He really likes digging in the sand and seems so much more comfortable and happy with this sand in his tank. ... show more

  • Good Sand
Color: Yellow Size: 10-Pound
I use this for my Israeli Dune Geckos. It is authentic 'desert' sand. The granules are much finer than a play sand from a sandbox. But they are fine enough of particles that the geckos have less risk of harm from accidentally missing a bug. It also really holds onto heat in the daytime well, and releases that heat at night. It's a great tool if you're into making realistic habitats for your creatures. ... show more

  • Decent, but a hole
Color: Red Size: 10-Pound
Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product was recommended for me to use as a hamster sandbath. After baking it I had personally like it, so does my hamster. However there was a hole in the bag when it arrived, I dont know if it was due to shipping or the other item I had ordered that caused it. ... show more

  • Perfect for our Desert Loving Beetles
Color: Red Size: 10-Pound
I bought this sand for the budding entomologist in our family, who proudly owns seven blue feigning death beetles. It's absolutely perfect for their desert terrarium! The color looks natural and adds a great aesthetic, and most importantly, the beetles seem to like it. It's been a great addition to their habitat, and we're very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • Leopard gecko
Color: Black Size: 10-Pound
My leopard gecko has loved this sand imo. And I love the color. Good texture and quality, it's a thicker grain than the typical sands at petco/petsmart but he dsnt seem to mind.
