Exo-Terra Riverbed Sand – Amber – 5 lb.

May 16th, 2008


This is natural riverbed sand with no added dyes or chemicals. It has been sifted to remove impurities and to obtain a homogenous sand grain size. Ideal for many types of aquatic turtles as it is their preferred substrate in the wild. Soft-shelled turtles especially prefer the fine sand for digging and burrowing. Other types of water and ground-dwelling reptiles, such as frogs and salamanders, will also benefit from this sand because of its soft nature. A rough surface, such as gravel, can easily injure the skin tissue. This sand is very fine and can be easily secreted when ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles, which can cause indigestion.Size:5 lb. (2.25 kg)
