About 2 years ago my TOKAY had a horrible impaction and I used vermiculite. I had a very tough time with it, but eventually it resolved after changing the substrate and giving my TOKAY a diet high in fiber (crickets fed with bran fiber cereal). She had a bowel movement (actually I had to cut off the cricket heads and squeeze the guts out to get her to eat, then she would eat the body of the cricket reluctantly) afterwards and she's been okay.

I had no problems whatsoever with BED-A-BEAST, and I think is the ideal substrate. holds moisture well too
