Exo Terra Riverbed Sand, 10 lbs - Natural Sand, No Dyes or Chemicals

Brown riverbed sand is an ideal substrate for aquatic turtles as it is their preferred choice in the wild. Soft-shell turtles, in particular, enjoy the fine sand for digging and burrowing. This sand contains no added dyes or chemicals, making it a natural option for your pet's habitat.

The riverbed sand has an ideal grain size, being very fine and easily secreted if ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles which can cause indigestion. This makes it a safe option for small breed turtles and other water-dwelling reptiles.

In addition to turtles, other types of ground-dwelling reptiles such as frogs and salamanders can also benefit from the soft nature of riverbed sand, as it reduces the risk of injury to their skin tissue compared to rough surfaces like gravel.

Furthermore, riverbed sand can help stimulate natural behavior in river or aquatic reptiles and turtles, making it an excellent substrate for their habitat.

This riverbed sand is available in a convenient 10-pound plastic bag, making it easy to store and handle. Whether you have aquatic turtles, frogs, or salamanders, this natural brown sand is an ideal choice for creating a comfortable and safe habitat for your small breed pets.
