[CoolBigWillieStyles]

Shes a herpetoculturist (keeper/breeder) not a Herpetologist (scientist)!

@GoDLyKILLAS not proven. Your animal got sick because of a silly choice, it got sick in a way that was TOTALLY avoidable, how can you justify that? Now, how exactly did you fix said impaction? You do know a responsible keeper would have taken the animal off sand immediately and taken it to the vet, not use it's survival as justification of further neglect. Forget it, you're clearly not a responsible keeper and I have wasted enough time on you. Bye.

@choobaine Myne got impaction when he was 3 months old and i stayed up all night looking for videos on how to fix and guess what i did and hes still alive today point proven

@GoDLyKILLAS Spectacular logic there... Tell me, now I'm intrigued, how is it the owner's fault then? The entire reptile hobby would love to know this miraculous secret that not even vets or reptile specialists seem to have as to why some dragons do fine while others die with a stomach full of sand in near identical care.

@choobaine Its funny because i had my beared dragon in sand seen he was a baby he is now 3 years old still fine its not the sand its the owners

[choobaine]

@GoDLyKILLAS and if you read all of the links you will see that the type of sand provided in captivity is not the substrate they encounter in the wild and that quite a number of people have had their dragons DIE from sand impaction. So as animal keepers we have a responsibility to give the animal the best possible care, if something is notorious for killing pets you do the sensible thing and avoid it like the plague. Try slate/tiles, easy to clean, no impaction, slate trims nails naturally too.

@GoDLyKILLAS Well I could easily be mistaken for thinking that description would be far more fitting for you given this is common knowledge. The inland bearded dragon has a wide distribution but can primarily be found in arid scrubland, on hard, baked earth. If you look at their natural distribution you'll be able to look at the natural terrain they live on. Regardless, search for bearded dragon sand impaction autopsy on google, and hit the first link and look at the pictures.
