Let's talk Bearded Dragons... We have people come in DAILY with the wrong info or the wrong husbandry. Today I just want to cover substrates. I will most likely make a more in depth list at another time with more info, these are just the basics!
***** it does not matter if you’ve “always done it this way”… all it takes is the wrong thing on a random day! For these animals just because they are surviving doesn’t mean they are actually living! Please do research BEFORE getting something*****
SAFE SUBSTRATES:
Non-Adesive Shelf Liner
Slate Tile
Ceramic Tile
Paper Towels
50/50 Mix of Organic Top Soil and Play Sand (We ALWAYS have this on hand)
Secondary Soils that are safe if you don't want to use or can't find (again, we have it!!) Organic Top Soil
Repitsoil
Jungle Mix
Eco Earth
^^^^^^
THESE MUST STILL BE MIXED WITH PLAY SAND!!!!
In order for you to safely use ANY of these safe substrates you MUST have correct husbandry without that they are no longer considered safe.

Walnut Shell Bedding
