Repti Sand is a high-quality substrate designed to replicate natural desert habitats, providing both visual appeal and practical benefits for your enclosure.

Its excellent heat conductivity helps maintain stable ground temperatures, making it ideal for species that rely on basking and belly heat. The fine texture also encourages natural digging and burrowing behaviours, supporting your reptile’s instinctive activity.

Made with no added dyes or chemicals, this sand offers a safe and natural environment for a wide range of desert and semi-arid species.

Suitable for reptiles such as bearded dragons, sand boas and other arid species, and can also be used in certain aquatic setups for species such as soft shell turtles.

Directions for Use

Spread substrate evenly across the enclosure base, ensuring a depth of approximately 2″ (5cm) for burrowing species or use as a top layer as needed. Avoid overfilling when using underfloor heating. Spot clean regularly and replace as required.
