my argument is there is a risk.. and as i told ou via IM its no different then getting into a car and not putting children in a carseat (much higher magnitude yes), its an unnessesary risk. There are other options to use besides sand.. there is no good reason, besides looks to use sand. if she wanted to make a burrow you could give her some paper towel under her hide and she would like it just as much. to me its about the animal.. i dont care how pretty the cage looks if it meets their ideals

thats my 0.02 im not going to say anything more, its your animal, your risk.
