Scott, there is no silica in Calci-sand, it is pure calcium carbonate, just the size of medium fine gravel as you describe. Many people have had problems with their leos kept on Calci-sand getting impacted with it, including me. It seems that if the leo eats too much of it at one time, which they readily do, it can sit partially digested in their stomachs like a giant Tums, halting further digestion and creating a cement-like blockage. Leos have died of it. But I don't want to get into an argument with you over it, becuase yes, some people (including breeders like you say) use it and have had no problems. I just wanted to point out to Wendy (whom I know doesn't want to use Calci-sand) that that is what you were describing...
