Hi! My beardie has been on walnut shells since mid march. The guy at the repticon said it was a good substrate with no impaction risk. Recently, I have heard otherwise. Is it an okay substrate, or should I swap out to slate tile?

Get rid of it asap! Not only it it terrible for impaction but the sharp edges can slice up the intestines if swallowed.
Use newspaper or paper towels until you can get tile.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
