Topsoil for beardies?

[Sushi]

Hi,

I am unsure on this, there is a lot of information about using topsoil that got me confused. Can I use it as far as it doesn't have ferts, pesticides, vermiculite etc? Do I have to bake it or can I just put it straight in? My oven isn't really made for baking topsoil

Thanks

I prefer the reptile soil from a reptile store. If you read the ingredients on top soil, it either has cow manure or chicken manure in it, I'm not comfortable using either with my beardies. Especially the stuff with chicken manure, birds and reptiles are closely related and i don't want to chance some disease .

Yeah fair enough about the diseases
I will definitely check it over for those two mentioned. I do have a bit of money to spare, but I also need to get my laptop fixed and that'll be over £70 ish, and reptile store substrate is always crazy expensive.
