Hey everyone,
I'm only looking for a bearded dragon and in process of setting up his/her new enclosure and have read a ton of info but didn't find a final solution for me. The question is still unanswered:
What to use as a substrat for beardy?
I'll post below only cons that matter to me and would like to ask your help to choose something.
1. Sand. I know about exoterra and other sands for terrariums but they're a lot of warnings that it can be eaten and cause digest problems.
2. Vita-Sand/Calci-Sand. Can be overdusty and can cause problems for lungs and nostrils.
3. Sandmat (Exoterra). A small bunch of feedbacks in Amazon that these mats can be dangerous when heated by bulb, due to how sand is glued to a mat.
4. Coconut mats. Nothing specific, just an info that coconut itself is a not a good option for terrariums where humidity has to be low.
5. Tiles. Actually this is a new "option" for me and still looking into...
Would be so appreciated for any advices and shared experience!
Just trying to set up a perfect and safe enclosure.
Thank you!
