Reptile Sand & Gravel

Reptile Sand

Reptile sand and gravel is an important part to providing an ideal habitat for your pet. There are plenty of options at Petco for different species.

For arid species—such as leopard geckos and bearded dragons—reptile sand may be a substrate of choice to aid in heat absorption and natural digging behavior. This sand is specifically formulated with your reptile in mind and made of ultra-fine, non-toxic sand to reduce risk of impaction with accidental ingestion. Calcium sand can include added vitamins and minerals that benefit your scaley friend if ingested. Available in a variety of colors, add a personal and creative touch to your pet's home.

Reptile gravel is a preference in many aquatic turtle habitats. Use larger rocks, specifically for turtles to help avoid a choking hazard in case your turtle attempts to eat small pieces of gravel. Turtle gravel can add a natural look to your pet's environment and also aids in creating landscapes and basking areas for your turtle. These rocks come in an assortment of sizes and colors.

Whether you need reptile sand, gravel or both, your neighborhood Petco Pet Care Center and online at petco.com has a vast selection for you to choose from.
