Zoo Med Vita-Sand All Natural Vitamin-Fortified Calcium Carbonate Substrate, 10-lb bag

I gave it a try and regret it greatly. Not sure if that's the case with all substrates but this one colors everything it touches it. After a day with it my boardie had his paws and all underbelly in weird pinkish color that doesn't to come off. Not sure if that's neither natural nor healthy to any animal.

So so so happy I finally decided to use sand. And honestly my Roxi is old enough that it won’t be an issue. Plus she is picky enough that she only eats her salad out of her dish or from the hand

I am fourteen and I helped my mom and she decided to by stuff to help me get me bearded dragon. I needed substrate and I was a bit worried about impaction because this is my first pet/reptile I am buying myself. Then I just decided to just feed it be feeding tongs and hand feeding it so it wouldn’t get impaction. When I got it one of the bags was ripped in multiple spots and got sand in my other things I had ordered, that is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars otherwise I LOVE the color and texture. Hopefully Shogun my soon to be pet bearded dragon does too :) after I get the rest of the supplies.

The sand substrate is so fine and soft, but it seems to have a filmy feel, and my Bearded dragon hated it! So needless to say I had to take it out. She would not even step on it after trying her on it once. oh well “live and learn” lol She wouldn’t even go on it to eat anything in her dish! Thanks

Great sand. All I want to use. Its non constipated properties are wonderful as well

Two bags were great coverage for my 20 gallon leopard geckos tank. Very pleased. Not too dusty.

Very satisfied with this product!!! Arrived in a very timely manner and doesn't cost a fortune to get what we need for our bearded dragon.

I must say that I am quite impressed as well as shocked that the product in question actually works as said. The moment I put it in the enclosure, my beardie tried to eat her own cave because the calcium powder fell on it. She's been much more active ever since I put 2 bags in. I do think that the orange color is a bit pricey but it blends well enough with the standard option to make it just worth it. Healthy edible calcium powder sand for reptiles is the best idea I've seen pulled off yet and I may even make another purchase as soon as next week.

This sand does not have a lasting stink that many sand products do. Easy to clean too!

We've been using Zoo Med Vita-Sand since we rescued Tex. I only replace the full tank 1 time per year and sift the sand during the rest of the year. I replenish it as needed. The sand is fine and a nice color. Tex appreciates it.
