I don't know that it's "bad", but I wouldn't use it. The best thing to use would be aspen shavings. Other good choices are they gray or white CareFresh, and I hear some people here using coconut bark, but I guess I wouldn't choose that either. Repti-Bark is BAD, has the most toxic part of fir and pine trees in it, the bark.



I tried the colored "Calci-sand" once in a Dragon cage and it was an awful sticky mess. Any spot that water was spilled on would get sticky then hard, and end up trailing him into his pool. Although it claimed to be digestable, the way it became rock hard after getting wet, I don't believe it is truly digestable.
