ive heard its not safe to use reptile sand when you have a baby beardie. mine is almost 13 inches long now, should i still worry about the sand clumping up in his belly? im using reptile carpet now and i notice his toe nails get hung up sometimes and i think sand would work better fore him. i just wanted fellow beardie owners to chime in with their opinions, thanks! nathan

I wouldn't use reptile sand because of impaction but other people may tell you other wise but honestly from point I wouldn't because you are running the risk of impaction. Also if there isn't no clumping I would be still worried of impaction but that's just me. So yea I hope I was help.

i dont even consider it a risk to add sand of any kind i find it a direct hazard with the ammount of curiosity in bd's i never add particle substrate they love to lick everything so they would eat it one time or another

Ceramic Tile (not smooth) is what most of us use.

I use non-adhesive shelf liner (with no holes). You can buy the rolls from a lot of places like Walmart, Home Depot, and other places like that. Just cut it to fit whatever size you need and put it in, it's that simple
