You are absolutely correct. Substrates (natural not processed or mullet like shit) are always good for animals (and even at a young age too) and are NEVER the root cause of impaction. For that to happen, your animal is either unhealthy, or your care is inappropriate. Usually temperature is the biggest thing considering (in this case for uros) everyone says “oh 110 is perfect basking temperature.” When in reality on the wild these animals are caught basking at 120-130 degrees, and yes that 10-20 degrees makes a huge difference. So I agree with you as far as what you have said!
