Default The best and safest sand?!?!

I see alot of red repti-sand. Is this the best and safest sand to feed on? Which other sands are just as good? This sand will be used for knobtails.

Thanks

Travis

Travis looks like your getting some new critters Up here in Canada I use either play sand or red exo-terra "desert sand", but I think the fav in the US is "Jurassic sand" sounds like good stuff.

I use the exo-terra desert sand, but I will probably just get some playsand for the bigger vivarium because the amount of the Exo-Terra sand I'll need (or rather the cost of delivery for it) won't be pretty!

Repti sand, washed sifted playsand, and Jurassi Sand are all fine choices.
