Sand

[beardieX0]

So, I really like the sand that's made out of nuts, but I heard it can still cause impact. Sand to me is a lot easier to clean and my beardie don't seem to like tile much. What would be a good substitute. I heard wheat bran works... but they aren't supposed to eat wheat soo.. idk guys help me out?

You can also look at bioactive soil as an option. It has many advantages

Where Would I Get this?
Does it smell?
Could it cause impact?
Will it cause the tank to be to humid?
Sorry for all the questions lol

I looked up bio active soil and it seems pretty good. What top soil would I use?

Hi no problem , no doesn't cause impaction if they eat it it will go straight through them, it's dry and doesn't affect humidity , it doesn't smell and is easy to clean up poop . My local reptile specialists have used it for years and so have I and I would touch anything else plus it looks good abs beardies love to dig into it .
I live in the uk so can get from the pet shop or online . Not sure where you live but if you can't find it in local shops try Amazon .

Honestly it's not a problem depending where you are is what you can get I use Komodo but I've found zoo med which is a good make .
No you don't mix it with anything just as it is . Just ask if you need anymore help .
