One day I'll scan Chanel's x-ray and you'll see how good it is for them. .

Provided that your sulcata does NOT eat the calci-sand, perhaps it is good for them. But from my experience, a curious sulcata will eat the sand and possibly experience impaction from it. Some other experiences I have had with it included the sand's artificial coloring rubbing its dye off on Chanel and Albrecht (Angel Baby's) legs, giving their lower shell and legs a garish blue-green coloring. After digesting so much calci-sand, Chanel had some pretty difficult poops and the sand showed up in his x-rays, looking like it was clogging his digestive track. Some people have had positive experience with the calci-sand, especially with other types of reptiles, and indeed it looks pretty in their enclosure, but one should always present both sides of the story. My side was not so pleasant. . . .
