Zoo Med Desert Repti-Sand Review



5 out of 5 stars

This sand is affordable and perfect for crabitats. It's reptile safe, hermit crab safe, and one of the best commercial pet sands available on the market. It holds up well when wet and creates a good diggable texture. It isn't too course so it creates a nice soft surface for your hermit crabs to roam on.

Unlike other commercial pet sands, this sand comes in bulk sizes. The 25 lb bag is an ideal size for a 25 to 30 gallon crabitat. You could get two uses with a 10 to 15 gallon crabitat. The product isn't overpriced and is available with free shipping on Amazon if you can't find it at your local pet shop.

This particular sand comes in a white color which is natural and often preferred for crabitats. No extra vitamins were added and it seems to be one of the most natural sands available out there. The texture is natural, the color is natural, and it makes a perfect addition to any crabitat.
