There has been a lot of discussion about sand as a substrate here lately (and there probably always will be lol). This photo is not mine but I got permission from the person to use it. It shows the sand that was removed from this beardie after it was housed with sand as a substrate.

Not to start a war or down anyone for thier choice of substrate, but good god..... What was the owner feeding the dragon? Was the dragon on sand from the beginning or put on sand after the owner recieved it? I guess a better question would be what age it was put on the sand.

How come it didn't pass through at all. I mean that is definately NOT from a 24 hour period surely.

From what I was told that's what the original breeder kept it on and what she kept it on after she bought it. So it would be an accumulation of 5 months.

thats bs if that much sand came from him he would of been dead theres more sand than dragon get real people if you properly feed your dragon and it gets proper vitamins and calcium and uvb sand is NOT an issue of impaction cause it will pass through him...like i said get real and ask the countless amounts of bd breeders on the net what are they ALL wrong? dont think so
