Description:
Exo-Terra Riverbed Sand, Amber, 10 lbs. Riverbed Sand is ideal
for many types of aquatic turtles as it is their preferred substrate in the
wild. Soft-shell turtles especially prefer the find sand for digging and
burrowing. Other types of water and ground-dwelling reptiles, such as frogs and
salamanders, will also benefit from Riverbed Sand because of its soft nature. A
rough surface, such as gravel, can easily injure skin tissue. Riverbed Sand is
very fine and can be easily secreted when ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles
which can cause indigestion. Created over time in an African river, Riverbed
Sand is extremely fine and round, making it an ideal and safe substrate for the
aqua-terrarium.
