I just got a juvenile Beardie (only 4-5" long). I made a mistake and got ground walnut shells as a substrate for it, and I'm looking to change it out before any damage is done. I used slate stone to cover most of the walnut shells, and will be feeding in a separate area to minimize risk for now. So here is my question:
1. Is play sand safe for a beardie this small?
2. If it is, does anyone have a link to order said sand.
3. When the beardie grows larger, is it ever considered safe to use calcium sand, or any other loose substrate?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm used to keeping Ball Pythons, and other than a leopard gecko which I had on slate tile, this is my first lizard.
