jurassic sand. this is a common topic of discussion here. it comes down to jurassic sand or washed play sand. play sand is a hell of a lot cheaper.

I just went ahead and bought some repti sand made by zoo med. It says it's all natural so I hope it's ok. I have a pair of amyae coming wed. from Derek Wong at shoebox reptiles I wanted to get the tubs set up now but next time I will get a bigger bag of play sand or Jurassic sand. Where can you buy Jurassic sand from? Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I've used repti-sand with them just fine in the past. It's pretty, but it's rather expensive over time. These days I just use play sand. It's dirt cheap (no pun intended). You can get Jurassic sand here: Welcome to Jurassic Sand!

Ethan, how do you use the play sand? Do you wash it first or sift it through a screen? I just need a bunch of sand so I'm thinking if I need to wash it first and dry it, then it may be a pain in the ass. Can I use it straight outta the bag? What brand is best for this? thanks

Oli, I just use it straight out of the bag man. Nobody is sifting the sand for them in the wild in Austrailia!!! I use "Quikrete Premium" from Home Depot. Been using the same stuff for years with no issues period. I've tried the jurrasic and the reptisand stuff. And as pretty as it all is, it's a pain to get when you need it, and it's way more expensive.
