My boyfriend looked up advice before we got our beardeed dragon. Put newspaper down and the tiles on top, don't worry about sticking them down because if they're loose you can remove them for cleaning.

I think ours are mineral tile, but from what I've read a rough tile like slate is definately the best bet. Also watch for gaps on the outside of the tiles - makes it harder to feed in my opinion, because when we put crickets in the viv they go straight for the gaps in the tiles and our reptile can't find them.

I just fitted the tiles together as close as I could but didn't stick them down so, if necessary, I could prise out any that needed extra cleaning.

tiles


hi guys, just reading your post, ive got geckos on tiles but we didnt stick them down because the heat mat are under them, that way if the heat mat became faulty we can sort the problems with less fuss,and they can be removed for ease of cleaning, ours are a tight fit too and didnt need gaps filling in, i was worried that the gecks would get toes stuck at first but they seem to know where the cracks are and step over them, i was wondering if i should tile my water dragons viv too? at the moment he is on bark any ideas anyone?
