Doesnt seem like it would, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks.

Any granular substrate really, has a risk of injestion. Bed a beast tends to get dusty, and clogs up if eaten. Though, i know some people have used it with success....

...I personally wouldnt use it on a leo under 6"

Slate and repti carpet are other SAFE options for substrate,

good luck

It's unclear what you'll be using it for, but nasr is right, any granular/particulate substrate can cause impaction.

I use it in my hideboxes and it works pretty well. It doesn't really get dusty; it dries out. Keep it damp so humidity stays up. I don't worry about it for juvies, either, because I don't feed them in thier hideboxes. I've pretty much got 99% on paper towels for substrate right now, so there's not much risk of impaction.

I've personally seen babies impacted on calci-sand at a Petco and many of us remember the necropsy photo of the leo with repti-bark in the Reptiles mag a couple years ago.

I was planning on using it as a substrate, not just in their hideboxes. But now ill be using paper towels, seems like the only 100% safe method. Thanks for your input!
