Product Description
Zoo Med Vita-Sand in Sonoran White offers a premium, all-natural calcium carbonate substrate tailored specifically for desert-dwelling reptiles. Ideal for bearded dragons, uromastyx lizards, monitors, geckos, and desert tortoises, this substrate effectively increases calcium delivery to support healthy bone structure and vitality. Fortified with essential vitamins and beta-carotene, it enhances your pet's overall well-being without using risky fat-soluble vitamins that can become toxic in large doses. The ultra-fine grain texture is meticulously engineered to pass smoothly through the digestive tract if accidentally ingested, significantly minimizing the risk of gut impaction. Beyond its health benefits, this clean, vibrant white substrate satisfies your reptile's natural digging and burrowing instincts while giving your terrarium a beautiful, authentic desert aesthetic.
