Soft-shell turtles especially prefer the find sand for digging and burrowing. Other types of water and ground-dwelling reptiles, such as frogs and salamanders, will also benefit from Riverbed Sand because of its soft nature. A rough surface, such as gravel, can easily injure skin tissue. Riverbed Sand is very fine and can be easily secreted when ingested, unlike gravel or pebbles which can cause indigestion. Created over time in an African river, Riverbed Sand is extremely fine and round, making it an ideal and safe substrate for the aqua-terrarium.,Natural sand, no added dyes or chemicalsCreates a natural and attractive aquatic environmentExcellent substrate for aquatic turtlesStimulates natural behaviorAlso suitable as desert terrarium substrate,Riverbed Sand PT3107Riverbed Sand Brown4.5 kg10 lb,Not available in France. Review: Arena para acuario - Arena muy bonita El agua se aclara al echarla en media hora más o menos Review: Perfect addition to a small aquarium - Purchased for a 20 gallon turtle aquarium. Rinsed the sand in a 5 gallon bucket until the water ran relevatively clean (less than 10 minutes). When added to the tank, it did cloud the water, but cleared quite quickly (probably within 30 minutes). My turtle digs/ moves around in the sand, and the water remains clear. *I've only added half of the cleaned sand (shown in picture). ## Features - Colour: brown; capacity: 4.5 kg - Creates a natural and attractive aquarist environment - Excellent substrate for aquatic turtles - Stimulates natural behaviour - Can also be used as a desert sand terrarium substrate ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Pet Type | Fish and Aquatic, Reptile | | Product Dimensions | 3.81 x 23.37 x 6.35 cm; 4.54 kg | | Item model number | PT3107 | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Pet Life Stage | All Life Stages | | Color | Brown | | Size | 10-Pound | | Number of Items | 1 | | Quantity | 1 | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Specific Uses | Indoor | | batteries required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Item Weight | 4.54 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Pet toy type:** Teaser Wand - **Target species:** Reptile - **Theme:** Animals - **Breed recommendation:** Small Breeds - **Brand:** Exo Terra ## Images ![Exo Terra Brown Riverbed Sand, 4.5 kg - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eRShP00qL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arena para acuario *by C***N on 11 January 2026* Arena muy bonita El agua se aclara al echarla en media hora más o menos ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect addition to a small aquarium *by C***R on 9 February 2025* Purchased for a 20 gallon turtle aquarium.

Compré 2 bolsas, la primera venía dentro de una caja de Amazon, y la segunda dentro de una bolsa, esta última, me refiero a la bolsa de Exoterra tenía un pequeña perforación en la parte superior, que por suerte solo tiro una diminuta cantidad de arena. No la he usado, espero que supere mis expectativas cuando esté sumergida en el acuario. ## Frequently Bought Together - Exo Terra Riverbed Sand, 10-Pounds - Real Riverbed Sand with No Added Dyes or Chemicals - Zoo Med Aquatic River Pebbles for Turtle 10 lbs. - PAIZOO Fish Tank Digital Thermometer Accurate LED Display to ±0.9°F Tank Thermometer Aquarium Temperature Measurement Suitable for Fish, Axolotl, Turtle or Aquatic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/286171704-exo-terra-brown-riverbed-sand-4-5-kg](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/286171704-exo-terra-brown-riverbed-sand-4-5-kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
