I was a little iffy on getting sand but I don't regret it! I started off with 4 bags just in case I hated it (70 gal tank) definitely will be getting another 2 or 3 bags!!! Easy to clean Absorbs water without making a mess I was concerned about wasting sand by him jumping in and out of his dish but the sand sticks well and I did not lose any when emptying the dish. I let it sit for while to dry and dump it back in the enclosure. He literally just lays in the sand to sleep and the color went great with background. It does however dye his claws and tail but easily washes off. No biggie for me :)

Wow, NO dust! At all. Zero. And he likes it, he loves to dig in his sand box. We don't use the sand for going potty, it's too hard to clean, only for playing in. It gets nice and warm, and I really like the color. 👍🏻

I used this for my bearded dragon, Lucy. She liked it fine, it absorbed her waste just fine, my only minor complaint was that it was much redder than it looks - it looked dyed. I didn’t bother to add a picture since I mixed mine with some pale sand I still had so it wouldn’t have been accurate, although a picture of Lucy would be cute even though she’s shedding 😂🥰

This is the only substrate worth buying for your bearded dragon! I have been using this sand for the last three years and am so pleased that there is little to no dust, as with other sands. This sand maintains its vibrant color and is easy to scoop. Highly recommend.

Works great for birds to bath in- little to no dust and it's great for them being it is calcium. Only thing- I have white birds and they are orange now! Lol- broncos colored ☺️

Expensive for its amount of sand. Also leaves a orange color on my hands. One singular grain got stuck under my skinks scale and had to be removed by hand. Otherwise a good product.
