Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?
Although some expert may disagree, as long as Ash isn't ingesting the calcium sand then you can continue to use it. Calcium sand is not the same as play sand which would not be recommended. If you don't want to use calcium sand, consider slate, reptile carpet or even paper towels for easy cleaning.

Our Anole lizard swallowed a piece of substrate bark today, about the size of his head. Will Eco Earth brand bark digest, or should I be concerned about blockage? He's a beloved family member, and although he is acting fine, I wanted your exper
A small enough piece should pass uneventfully. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or lack of defecation. If necessary, see your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet. Soaking him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte will keep him well hydrated which can help the substrate pass easier.

I am setting up a new 55 gallon tank never used abstract can u buy now and use late? Would 110 pound be enough to have a three inch bed
An easily remembered rule of thumb is to plan on one pound of substrate per gallon to make a 1 inch bed. Using this formula, a 3 inch bed in a 55 gallon tank would need approximately 165 pounds of substrate. It is always recommended to get extra to have on hand in case you need it for future use. If you can clarify what is meant by "never used abstract can u buy now and use late?" in a new post, that portion can then be addressed.

I recently got some hermit crabs. The nearest pet store to me is an hour away so I made a visit to purchase supplies. But I didn't get as much substrate as I needed, unfortunately. I was planning to go and get more when I had the chance. But I belie
Thank you for reaching out about your hermit crab. If you are able to get the substrate, then yes, I would recommend adding it to the enclosure. This will allow the crabs a more appropriate area to perform their normal molting functions. When you add the substrate, you can try to decrease the amount of disturbance by putting it in an area near where Tamatoa is trying to bury himself. Please do not just pile it on top of him, if possible. That way he can move to the area when or if he is ready. I hope that this gives you a place to start, and good luck with your new family members!

What’s the difference between reptile water conditioner and any other kind of water conditioner life fish
Reptile water conditioner usually contains chemicals such as Water, Dechloraminating Agents, Synthetic Organic Polymers (Colloids), Chelating Agents, Electrolytes. The reptile conditioner usually also has a chemical that binds calcium in the water as well as a slime protecting agent that is good for amphibians and fish. Aquarium water conditioners (for fresh water fish) contains chemicals such as sulfates such as sodium thiosulfate. Thiosulfate is a Redox reducing agent. Either should be ok for reptiles or fish, however I would stick with reptile conditioner for reptile tanks or mixed (reptile and fish) tanks and for aquaria with fish only I would use specific aquarium water conditioner. The main reason to use a water conditioner is to remove chlorine in water. This, however, can also be attained by leaving the aquarium water fresh from the tap sitting over night. The chlorine will dissipate.
