Komodo Caco3 Sand White - Edible Sand for Reptiles

Vitamin-seeking in the sand is a common affliction of desert reptiles, especially bearded agamas and leopard geckos. This can lead to the animal becoming inebriated. At the same time, sand is the only substrate that reflects the natural habitat of desert animals. Therefore, the manufacturer Komodo has gone out of its way to meet the animals' expectations and the breeder's concerns by creating an edible sand. What is Komodo CaCo Sand?It is a natural calcium carbonate. This is exactly the same compound that makes up the popular calcium for reptiles and amphibians from all brands. The sand is made from 100% calcium carbonate CaCo3. Is the sand safe?It is the best substrate for desert animals. It reflects their natural environment, allows them to dig, lay eggs, reduces stress and reinforces the natural behaviour of the animals. At the same time, edible komodo sand poses no danger if ingested. In addition, CaCo3 prevents the growth of mites and bacteria in the substrate, creating a completely safe and hygienic environment.Can sand be eaten?Yes, sand can be eaten by all species of desert reptiles. It is a natural source of calcium and is easily digested.What if my reptile eats sand continuously?The animal will be fine. However, constant sand-eating may indicate signs of calcium deficiency. In this case, the keeper should increase the dose of calcium or change the UVB light.How do I clean the substrate and when should I replace it?The sand should be spot-cleaned if it becomes dirty. We recommend Repti-Zoo Sand Scoope for screening. The substrate should be completely replaced at least every 12 months. Recommended for:- Bearded Agama (Pogona vitticeps)- Tiger Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)- Steppe Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii)- Leopard Tortoise (Stigmochelys Geochelone)- and other reptiles from desert and semi-desert areasThe package contains 4 kg of CaCo3 sand, colour "white".Directions foruse:A 4kg pack is sufficient for a 60x60cm area.
