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 the 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. |
