Adding to what Brad said, it can be mixed with some regular sand to stretch it and give it good tunneling texture. It can be mixed with potting soil if desired, but I prefer just the sand added.
I think it is the best for kings and milks. Others do not like it because it is like soil - gets in the water bowl easily, etc. Still, the best skin tone I have seen on my kings and milks is when they live in a cage with a layer deep enough to burrow into, or even a box of it in an otherwise dry cage. And milksnakes, when hydrated, look a brighter red.
Of course I live where humidity can get low, so the benefit of this substrate is especially pronounced.
