Thats not the best of substrates for a Beardie. Just use sand. You can use it, but it is more for uromastxys, and leopard geckos.
The substrate you're asking approximately is possibly no longer what you think of it is..you combine it with 7 cups of water, shape the type you like it to shield which it drys and gets perplexing. it particularly is not something you are able to scoop poo out of easily like Calci-sand.( which via ways is made for Geckos) Calcium sand is via a procedures the perfect substrate to apply for smaller lizards, because it is digest-able and could no longer reason impaction. Mulch's or any form of timber chips are no longer sturdy and should no longer be used as1 little products swallowed may be the dying of your animal. in case you have by no skill owned one in the previous, i does no longer basically say i'm no longer likely to apply that because of the fact my chum,( who additionally does not know something approximately geckos informed me it became undesirable) nicely i hate to allow you to know this yet a majority of people united statesCalci-sand for there Geckos. Take this recommendation or no longer its your animal....
how much does 40lbs of that excavator stuff cost? i bet alot. i bring this up cause 50lbs of top soil and 50lbs of playsand at home depot comes to $6.00. so not only is it the best choice its also the least expensive substrate choice.
