## Summary description

Trixie terrarium sand, yellow, 12.5 kg is a loose substrate designed for use in terrariums and desert-style enclosures. Supplied in a 12.5 kg bag, it provides a natural sandy bottom for reptiles, invertebrates and desert-themed setups. Suitable for creating burrowing areas, stabilizing décor and improving enclosure aesthetics; use according to species-specific husbandry requirements.

## Long description

Trixie terrarium sand yellow 12.5 kg is a loose, natural-colored substrate formulated for desert-style enclosures and terrariums. Supplied in a 12.5 kg bag, this sand creates a visually consistent sandy floor that supports naturalistic setups for reptiles, invertebrates and other species that require arid microhabitats. It can be used to form slopes, burrowing areas and to stabilise decorations while contributing to the overall aesthetic of a desert habitat.
Advantages
The sand provides a uniform, fine-grained surface that is easy to level and shape. Its natural yellow tone enhances the appearance of desert-themed terrariums and complements rockwork and driftwood. As a loose substrate it allows for digging and shallow burrowing behaviours in species that use substrate for thermoregulation and shelter. The 12.5 kg quantity is suitable for creating several layers or a substantial depth in medium to large enclosures.
Suitable for
Desert-dwelling reptiles such as bearded dragons, leopard geckos and uromastyx (when species-specific care allows loose sand).
Invertebrates that prefer dry, sandy substrates for burrowing and hiding.
Terrarium displays and photo/visual setups where a natural sandy appearance is required.
When it may not be suitable
This loose sand is not appropriate for all species. Animals that are prone to accidental ingestion, impaction, or that require high-humidity substrates should not be housed on loose sand. Likewise, species requiring moist, soil-based, or plantation-type substrates will not find this product suitable for their husbandry needs.
Key specifications
Type: loose sand substrate
Colour: natural yellow
Package weight: 12.5 kg
Texture: fine-grained, easy to level
Intended use: desert-style terrariums and enclosures
How to use
Before placing the sand in the enclosure, clean and disinfect the terrarium and any décor items. Add the sand to the desired depth, shaping slopes and burrowing areas as required by the species. Maintain a depth appropriate for the animals housed — shallow for species that do not burrow deeply, deeper for those that dig. Monitor the substrate regularly for soiling and replace or spot-clean as needed. Follow species-specific husbandry guidelines regarding humidity, diet and enclosure maintenance when using loose sand.
What to consider before purchase
Check species compatibility: confirm that your reptile or invertebrate can safely use loose sand.
Decide on required depth based on the size and burrowing behaviour of your animals.
Plan for cleaning and replacement intervals; loose sand may require regular maintenance to avoid contaminants.
Usage recommendations
Use this sand in dry, ventilated enclosures and combine with rocks and hides to create varied microhabitats. Do not use with hatchlings or species known to ingest substrate. When in doubt about substrate safety, consult a reptile veterinarian or species care guide.
