Sunstrate for baby beardies/hatchlings

[GemmyLou]

Hiya
Sorry ment substrate
for my first clutch i used sand but it seemed to cause so many problems with the hatchlings/babies eyes that im not to keen on using it for the 2nd clutch.
Is there anythin else i can use that holds the heat?

A lot of people use tile and they say it holds in heats well. I use non-adhesive shelf liner and I love it, but I'm not sure how much it holds in heat.

Okay thank you for the advice

We use paper towels till they are big enough to separate.

Thats what i thought of using just wasnt sure if it was okay to use with them or would hold the heat in!
Thank you

I agree. Tile or paper towel is the way to go especially for babies.

Is this non-adhesive liner the rubber type comes in a roll? If it is....won't it catch on the little claws on the dragons feet? I like the idea....simple and would look good.

This thread is over a year old but to answer your question, Non-adhesive shelf liner works quite well, just don't get the rubber kind with the holes. There are many solid vinyl patterns available.
