Really like the consistancy and how little dust it has, I have asthma and it's been hard to find appropriate bedding and regular sand is no longer a safe option for me. I bought this for my sand boa so that he could have a more natural burrowing substrate and he seems to enjoy it much more than aspen. I have read bad things about using this bedding for lizards, and after working with it I don't feel it would be appropriate for my leopard geckos as it sticks badly as soon as it gets a hint of moisture, but I feed the snake out of its enclosure so I'm not worried about potential digestive issues with him.

I'll admit, I know sand isn't the best substrate for a bearded dragon, especially with their floor-licking habits. But sometimes, reptile carpet is a hassle to keep clean and not aesthetically pleasing like loose substrate. This stuff looks pretty and is supposedly digestible, but I was surprised to learn that the tiny pieces are actually a little rough and sharp when you apply pressure. I can't imagine what it's like in a bearded dragon's tummy. This substrate looks pretty and might be good for potted plants or fairy gardens, but I'm sceptical about its safety in reptile cages. I will continue to look for other alternatives.

I use this to stuff my pincushions. It works great! ANd it sharpens the needles as I use the pincushion. Not its intended purpose, but I love it!

I have been using this reptile bedding by Zilla for a long time now. It's affordable. Works great. The only downside is that you guys have stopped carrying the bigger bags.

Came early, low dust, plenty for our beardie! Zilla products have been excellent in past and not disappointed this time either! Will be ordering more of the litter from them.

George loves this stuff!! He can dig away, I can sift, and there is not a ton of dust flying through the air.

I don't have a reptile, that wasn't my purpose for purchasing this product. I do make pincushions, and this is perfect for filling those pincushions, and it's kinda like recycling, using ground walnut shells.

I love this stuff and so does my beardie! This stuff is so much better than sand, it is not dusty or smelly like the sand at all. I will definitely be using this product again.
