Problems with sand in bedding?

Thanks for your thoughts. I have to admit that the 30 years was a typo and I meant to type 20 years, haha sorry. We're shooting for at least another couple decades though!

You're forgiven, 20 years is still great.

And as far as a little sand in the bedding, the only other issue I know of is only an issue when & IF the substrate being used is mostly or entirely sand- it's known to cause microscopic cuts in a snake's skin when it gets trapped under their scales, & they move around, causing it to cut into their skin & cause infections. As in your case, it shouldn't be an issue.
