Home Depots sand is very dusty and silica dust is a known carcenogen. It also must be SIFTED. The biggest reason sand causes impaction is people not sifting the sand and/or feeding pinheads that are so small the dragons are ingesting alot of the sand as they chase and eat the crix. I still say AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID...... There are people who use sand from birth and have no problems..... However, for a beginning keeper, I would say that shelfliner is a much better choice of substrate as they may not see the symptoms of impaction (if it even happened) as a 10 year veteran breeder would..............



Now then..... Isn't that a much more politically correct statement? Is everyone still happy? yes.... there there.....

let the beardie liberal fill in the cracks...... ROFL......



Can you here me now? SHould I turn it up for you? hehe..........
