[QUOTE="smaugthebeardie3756, post: 1991216, member: 113095"] As long as the other aspects of your husbandry like lights and heat are on point, the biggest issue with a nonbioactive loose substrate would be that it harbors bacteria and parasites and such. The cleanup crew in a bioactive substrate will break down the waste and keep the bad microbes in check. If you clean it up right away and take some of the surrounding substrate with it, and change out the substrate entirely on a regular basis you should be fine. Keep a close eye for any signs of illness though, and if he does get one you will probably have to use a different substrate at least during treatment to prevent reinfection. [/QUOTE]
