Glo-In-The-Dark Calci-Sand glows for up to 15 minutes after the lights are turned off. Great fun for kids and kids-at-heart!T-Rex Calci-Sand is a fine granular calciferous sand specially prepared to be the ideal reptile cage substrate for snakes, lizards, tortoises, and turtles.
T-Rex Calci-Sand is the only substrate for reptiles designed to be not only ingestible, but digestible when swallowed. Many reptiles freely eat particles of sand and other substrates in an effort to gain the calcium that they require. T-Rex Calci-Sand allows this process to occur naturally in the vivarium.
T-Rex Calci-Sand (being a mineral) is safe in direct contact with heating elements. It conducts heat well and is suitable for use with heat mats or cables buried under it to a shallow depth. It does not harbor mites nor the growth of molds or fungus.
T-Rex Calci-Sand makes spot cleaning both easy and accurate. It clumps readily to wet waste material, drying it and preventing it from being spread.
All colors are created with FDA approved natural food colorants.
Directions For Use: The depth of T-Rex Calci-Sand used will depend upon the amount needed for humidity control, modeling hills and valleys, and whether the inhabitant likes to dig or not. Generally a depth of one to two inches will be sufficient. A deeper covering will hold moisture longer and will require less maintenance. It is recommended that the Calci-Sand is spot cleaned daily, or as necessary, and completely replaced every six months.
Glo-In-The-Dark Calci-Sand, like most other glow in the dark products, will retain its glow for up to 15 minutes after all the lights are turned off. To recharge glow, simply turn the lights back on. Kids love this effect and it looks especially "cool" in a terrarium environment.
