Good Sand
I use this for my Israeli Dune Geckos. It is authentic 'desert' sand. The granules are much finer than a play sand from a sandbox. But they are fine enough of particles that the geckos have less risk of harm from accidentally missing a bug.It also really holds onto heat in the daytime well, and releases that heat at night. It's a great tool if you're into making realistic habitats for your creatures.

Leopard gecko
My leopard gecko has loved this sand imo. And I love the color. Good texture and quality, it's a thicker grain than the typical sands at petco/petsmart but he dsnt seem to mind.

FOR AQUARIUMS: WASH, WASH, & WASH AGAIN!
This is exactly what I needed for my aquarium! It is very fine grain size and is very black with a little bit of natural sparkle to it. 20 lbs gave me just over an inch of coverage in my 20gal aquarium. It really makes me artificial plants pop and under a blue LED will make my gfp axolotl look great!Fair warning, if you are using this as aquarium substrate, wash this sand at least 3 times! I ordered 20 lbs of this as substrate for my axolotl tank and washed it in a 5 gal bucket until the water ran clear. I let it settle, then washed it again. Then I transferred it to my aquarium and 48h later, I'm still waiting for the dust to settle/get filtered out of the water column. It's common for sand to be "dusty" but this stuff definitely needs a little extra washing before it's ready for aquatic use (but it's not marketed as aquarium sand and once it's been washed clean it'll be prefect so I'm not docking any stars).TLDR : Great value for price, nice dark color with some sparkle, wash multiple times if using in aquariums

Good
Works good and is as described. Had a hole in both bags I received. Not a big deal to me as it didn’t have bugs in it and I was able to use the whole bag in a sitting

Perfect for our Desert Loving Beetles
I bought this sand for the budding entomologist in our family, who proudly owns seven blue feigning death beetles. It's absolutely perfect for their desert terrarium! The color looks natural and adds a great aesthetic, and most importantly, the beetles seem to like it.It's been a great addition to their habitat, and we're very happy with this purchase.

I use this for rear bag
I purchased a rear bag for my f class rifle and they recommended me to fill it with this sand. And it works really good
