exoticboy Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 just wondering have any of your reptiles die from being on sand? impaction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Aren't they found in the Australian deserts? I think if he found that sand killed them in this type of setup, he wouldn't have them living on sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilenutt Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 just wondering have any of your reptiles die from being on sand? impaction?

Water dragons arn't from the desert? and blue tounges are more commonly found in woodlands, than on sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sea sand is also quite fine IME river sand tends to be a bit heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilenutt Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sea sand is also quite fine IME river sand tends to be a bit heavier. Thank you Squirt .. that is right and if the sand is light then I find that when they lay their eggs the hole will fill in as fast as they try to dig it out or will collapse when there down the hole laying their eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I thought fine sand would be less likely to cause blockages. Imagine having to squeeze out gritty river sand :sml2: Think either would be ok anyway, ye old reptiles are hardier than most give credit for, I am just curious as I've used both in the past. Anyone know what grade is sold in shops? Nice enclosures btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilenutt Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I thought fine sand would be less likely to cause blockages. Imagine having to squeeze out gritty river sand :sml2: Sorry do not mean when they eat it ... :facepalm: I mean that I find the sea sand is a lot more finer than river sand and when they dig there holes to lay there eggs the sand falls back in . The river sand is more compacted and will stay up so that they can lay their eggs without the sand filling in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Makes sense. Was just curious about impaction, if they did happen to eat some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Reptiles may seem to be eating sand but they are actually feeling/tasting with their tounge as they do with most things including each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herperjosh Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its just fine sand that they sell in pet shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
