## Summary description

Trixie terrarium sand (EB-2247) is a 12.5 kg bag of black substrate designed for use in reptile and amphibian enclosures. The washed sand provides a natural-looking floor, suitable for burrowing species and decorative layouts. Use it to create dry or semi-moist habitats, support thermoregulation areas, and enhance enclosure aesthetics.

## Long description

Trixie terrarium sand EB-2247 in black is a 12.5 kg washed substrate formulated for reptile and amphibian enclosures. The fine-grained sand creates a natural-looking floor that supports burrowing behaviour and decorative layouts. It can be used to form dry or semi-moist microhabitats, provide a stable base for heat-retaining areas, and improve the visual appearance of terraria and paludaria.
Advantages
The sand is washed to remove dust and fine particles, reducing airborne dust during installation and maintenance. Its uniform black colour conceals waste and creates contrast with plants and fixtures, while the fine grain compacts well to support tunnels and shallow burrows. Because it is an inert mineral substrate it does not alter enclosure chemistry, making it suitable for a wide range of terrestrial reptiles and amphibians when used according to species-specific requirements.
Suitable for
Desert and semi-arid species that benefit from a dry substrate
Burrowing or digging reptiles and amphibians that create shallow tunnels
Display setups where a natural, dark substrate improves contrast and aesthetics
Areas intended for heat-retention such as basking spots when combined with appropriate stones or hides
When it may not be suitable
This sand is not suitable as a sole substrate for species requiring high humidity or deep-moist substrate layers unless correctly managed to maintain appropriate moisture gradients. Very young, small or delicate hatchlings that might ingest substrate should be monitored; alternative substrates or supervised feeding setups may be preferable to reduce the risk of impaction.
Key specifications
Weight: 12.5 kg
Colour: black
Texture: fine-washed sand
Intended use: terrestrial substrate for reptiles and amphibians
How to use
Rinse the sand briefly if additional dust is present, then spread an even layer across the enclosure floor. Layer depth depends on species needs: shallow coverage for general display (2–3 cm) or deeper layers for burrowing species (5–10 cm or as appropriate). Combine with hides, rocks and plants to create microhabitats and position heat sources according to the species’ thermoregulation requirements. Replace or top up sand periodically and remove waste promptly to maintain hygiene.
What to consider before purchase
Check the natural history of the species to confirm substrate suitability (humidity, burrowing behaviour, risk of ingestion)
Consider layer depth required for burrowing or egg-laying species
Plan for cleaning and replacement frequency based on enclosure bio-load
Verify that the enclosure layout and heating elements are compatible with a loose sand substrate
Usage recommendations
Use the sand in combination with secure hides and stable decor; monitor enclosure humidity and animal health regularly. For animals prone to substrate ingestion, provide feeding dishes or supervised feeding to reduce impaction risk.
