Hi kingofnobbys whilst im aware from your posts that your not an advocate of bioactive setups for beardies I'm sure you have heard or come across Arcadia lighting which seems to be rated as one of the top two companies for reptile lighting.
http://www.arcadiareptile.com
They are a company that bases all products on natural re-creation from food/supplements to substrate.
I personally doubt (but could be wrong) that a company with a good reputation would recommend this type of substrate for beardies, especially if they thought it would put them at a higher risk of impaction than say using a garden centre soil that is only sterilised and lime free which is what many bioactive setups use.
With the sterilized garden centre soil you have to spend hours sifting it to remove small stones, broken pieces of tree Etc which is one of the reasons iv used this.
Iv seen many other people use and recommend this substrate for beardies in bioactive setups, but will do further research to make sure.
