Hey everyone!
I just went out and bought these slate tiles to cover the floor of my baby beardie's tank. I haven't put them in yet and they feel pretty dusty so I was going to wipe them down before I put them in, but I've been reading mixed recommendations about natural slate tile now because of the risk of flaking and their absorbency for bad stuff like bacteria. They overall seem sturdy besides the dust, so if I wipe them down and maybe apply a coat of pet-safe sealant would they be safe to use or should I return them to the store and find different tiles? These were the only tiles at the store that seemed to have a nice texture to them, but I realize I can create texture too with adhesive and sand.
