This is the best option as far as reptile sand. No sand is digestible, but this one doesn't clump up nearly as hard as the other sands on the market and it's finer/has smoother edges so if it doesn't clump up, it's less likely to hurt if they have to "pass" it. And since it's not full of calcium or vitamins (like calci sand and vita sand) lizards are less likely to want to eat it if they have something missing in their diet.

I use this for my Hermit Crabs and my Leopard Geckos. The sand is very fine so you don't have to worry about them eating it. The only down side is that it is dusty and gets on the side of the cage, but other than that it is a great product. It also has instructions on it so that you can clean it and use it again.

Pros: looks great

Cons: messy

I love the color variety and the fact that they won't impact an adult. I use this for my adult beardie and he loves to nap on the soft sand and to burrow.
Great product and easy to clean his cage with ZooMed mesh scooper. A must for a happy beardie.

Pros: looks great, easy to clean

Cons: price

I first started using tank carpet for my beardie and soon switched over to this. My beardie, Sunny, loves to run and dig in this sand. The colors are natural and the sand is not dusty. Great product! the only problem is moving it when you are cleaning the tank.

This is by far the best sand substrate I've used. I've tried Calcisand and Reptisand before because I fell for the vet-approved label. This sand isn't at all dusty like the other sands and looks very natural. I couldn't be happier about cleaning the tank and not having to worry about inhaling dust. Finally a sand substrate that doesn't alter the color of my dragons!

Pros: easy to clean, looks great

Over the years I have used many different substrates. Most have had big hard clumps of stuff mixed in or turnt my pets the color of the substrate plus was very dusty!
This sand is different! The sand is very fine and not dusty at all. I'm very pleased with my purchase and will be buying more of this for years to come!

Pros: very fine, not dusty, natural

Cons: need more because its so fine

This sand looks great and is natural. Also it is very fine so you dont have to worry about impaction (still dont use for babys only adults). It clumps up when wet so it makes it easy to clean. Also it does NOT dye your pet some funky color wich is always good!If you have a desert dwelling reptile I highly recommend this product.

Pros: everything

I used this for my hermit crabs. The color really looks good in the cage. The only concern I had with it was that when you got it wet, it would dry out and clump up. I would go to change the food and water, and when I picked up the container, I found really big clumps where water had spilt. Over all, it looked nice, but try not to get it wet!
