hey, i got a beardie there on saturday, im goin to keep her on sand but whats the cheapest and best ones to use? oh and where can i get em?

Hi there.

I would not recommend sand for a beardie any younger than 6 months of age. For a beardie that young I would recommend a non-particle substrate such as paper or tiles or something similar.

After this I would recommend childrens playsand

 

[K.J.Geckos]

yes like above i would not recomend sand neither for the impaction risk but if you do choose to use it then i think most people use play sand just the bags from tesco or argos.or you can use reptile sand wich you should be able to get from somewhere like Livefood UK Crickets Locusts Mealworms Reptile supplies mail order

There will only be a risk of impaction if you feed in the viv :smile: I would go for childrens play sand :smile:

i was considering something like carpet tiles of something, if not sand, it just looks so boring with newspaper down

I'm using paper towel for my baby BD's for the time being. I think I'll be ordering some repti-carpet though, I think it looks pretty good!

 

[katrinamw]

Repti-carpet is good (you can get one that is a sandy colour), slate looks good too (B&Q).

Or what about cork tiles?

Or floor tiles that look like stone?

 

[belfast_tom]

oh cork tiles sound good, i think im gonna have to go to BnQ and look around

would def stay away from sand mate, its to risky, and it gets in the glass runners and makes a terrible noise when you open the viv,im gonna put floor tiles down on all mine, they look nice, i find the crickets get under the repti carpet and hide and its a bugger to clean

carefull with the cork tiles that they havent put anything in them so they sick together this might come out when heated just be aware!!!!
