Big hole in the bag
By Tamika on Apr 15, 2020
As I received my package not too long ago but today I noticed that there was a hole in the bag because the sand was going through the box itself I was not very happy with this because most of the sand in the bag was already gone. It is hard enough to get sand from stores but I didn't think this was going to happen with Chewy.

Great sand!
By JRM85 on Apr 11, 2020
I actually bought this for a hamster sand bath and it’s great! I was wary of using the black, but it was the cheapest by several dollars, and it actually looks really good in the bin.

FOR LEOPARD GECKO OWNERS AND PROBABLY OTHER REPTILE OWNERS. BE CAREFUL WITH SAND
By MISLEADING on Feb 18, 2020
Sand can cause impaction issues, I know for sure with leopard geckos because they like to lick a lot more than other reptiles. Use coco fiber, carpet, kitchen liners, anything other than sand. This product is very misleading because it has a leopard gecko right on the product.

Great sand
By ScaleDogsdad on Apr 21, 2019
I usually use bagged top soil for my beardie we had some left over red sand so I made a beach strip along the side of her tank she has made it perfectly clear that she prefers the sand. They are TEN lb. Bags so u will need one bag for every 10 gallons u are trying to fill. And yes its dusty when it goes down so keep ur pet in a separate enclosure until it settles or blow out the dust. Once it's down I havent experienced any more dusting. Considering to the cost of this product in store and its limited availability well gladly keep ordering it here

Dusty Sand
By Hannah97 on Sep 13, 2018
Although it is nice the sand acts as dust and the slightest touch causes a stir of dust

To pricy for amount received
By Michelle on Jul 11, 2018
I think it is a good product but I purchased 2 bags and it still wasn’t enough for my 40gal tank. If you received more for the $$ then it would be worth it

Works well

Reptilite, with calcium grains is better. Not been able to find it tough and stores are expensive.

Great product
By Rose on Jan 12, 2018 Top 1000 Contributor
The sand is very good quality. Gives a perfect layer in a 10 gallon tank and my crested gecko seems much happier with this. Product arrived with the bag broken, customer service was amazing and sent me a bag right away.
