Review on 🏜️ Optimized for SEO: Exo Terra's Sand Mat Mini, Ideal Desert Terrarium Substrate by Mark Ponnusamy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Waste of money

I bought this because it looks cool and I wanted to use a subtraction effect floor with no loose materials. I thought cleaning would be an issue but it turned out to be even worse than I expected. The material is like foam rubber so it gets really uncomfortable and impossible to clean. You have to take it out, wash it, and even then stains may appear. But the worst thing is that the texture is gone. I put it in water for ONLY a few minutes and it just rubbed off. I decided to give it a second chance, put it back in place, after 2 days it was dirty so I put it in water and more "sand" came out. I had to throw it in the trash. I wrote a message to support and after a few days there was no answer. Case volume is 60 gallons, so the mat was large (and therefore pretty expensive to end up in the trash). I don't recommend at all.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
