Reptilite Sand?

[happy gecko]

I was just browsing the internet when I found this sand: http://www.blueiquanaproducts.com/pages/products/reptilite.html . I thought it was interesting in that it is made out of aragonite (the most soluable form of calcium- disolves the easiest) and supposedly has smooth grains. What do you think? Has anyone tried this substrate before?

Ditto what Sam said.

But I dont HAVE to see it to tell you, dont use it!!

I have seen tons of these products that supposedly address the
"impaction" issue by being soluble and digestible, dont believe it,
in many cases, it just makes the leo want to eat even MORE of it!!

It ALL causes impaction, as well as other problems, like, it gets it
their eyes and can cause infection, and it can dry out their toes,
causing shedding problems.

This isn't something that happens overnight either, so dont be swayed
by folks who say their leos have been on loose sand for many months
and no problem. Its something that builds up over time, then, it's too
late and nothing can be done. The leo usually dies.

agreed dont use sand no matter how good it may sound.
