Bulk Sand

[KristineKooyman]

I have been looking to find Zoo Med Repti-sand in Canada. I would like the dessert white and need the 25lb bulk boxes. I need 4 in total...3 will do but I can only find them to order from the USA. Does anyone know where I can get bulk amounts of white reptile sand without having to buy 10 of the 10lb bags??

i would suggest buying sifted playsand. the repti-sand turns to cement when it gets wet and can cause compactions. not to mention it dyes your bearded dragon funny colors

I havnt had any problem with this sand and I have been using it for 2 years. I just want to do a total change over to clean the tank. I will look into the playsand though. Thanks for the idea!!

Is sand safe ??? And can I use it now or should j wait till mines bigger and older

No, sand isn't safe. Some people get lucky and have no issues with it but more often then not, it cause some kind of impaction issues. Not to mention its expensive, heavy, dusty and really gross. No matter how well you clean up daily, some waste is going to get left behind and it gets stinky real fast.

slate tile is the best

How much is it

^ We bought tile for Bindy's tank and it cost us $11. We took in the repticarpet as a template, and they cut it to size for us. This was at a Totem. I do not see why Home Hardware or Home Depot wouldn't do the same.

Good luck!
