Question:

Does anyone know a good place online to get vermiculite in bulk @ a decent price?

I have been using lizard litter for my beardies, it's sooo lightweight easy to clean! Buuut...,I recently realized that it has crushed walnut shells in it, which I am highly allergic to ;-( and I HATE using sand for (various reasons). I think Vermiculite is my best bet, but it's very salty I can only find it in 5# bags. If any good reptile luvr can help me, i'd be greatful.

Answer:

If you only need a small amount for potted plant, go to a nursery or places like Lowes have it sometimes. It may be easier to find a plant-specific mix. (ex.:cactus).If you need a large amount, for flower beds, check with local feed stores.
A nursery would have it for sure! Also, you can usually find it at hardware stores like Home Depot/Lowes. I would call them ahead of time, but if they have them, it's probably less expensive than your small nurseries. :) It's also possible they would have more in stock. If you're just looking for a small amount, a nursery should do!
A local nursery is the best place.
