I'm just looking at different (safer) options for my BDs substrate, I heard using slate helps keep their nails short and also is good for keeping heat after lights go out. Anyway I was looking at this and was wondering if it would work for substrate? (not this exact, but very similar) The bag...

Hi, I've read that people use slate for a vivarium substrate saying its good in terms of it's not loose, and it helps keep the nails shorter. Will slate be alright for a Bearded Dragon? If so, what will be the best way to do it? Slate + other type? My Beardie is 12 week old and really want a...
