All Treat Farms - Potting Soil - Okay?

I found this at a local Wal Mart after searching for an appropriate soil for my tegu. Any reason I couldn't use this?

Its generally considered best to stay away from vermiculite and perlite in the substrate as they could easily be ingested. Both are volcanic rock that is particularly sharp, jagged and can be a problem when ingested.

Its great for plants, and incubating eggs, but not so good for animal's insides.
