Hi all, I've just picked up the tank and equipment for my new Beardy baby, named Mushu, who will be coming home on Tuesday. I've read a lot about different substrates and what works and what doesn't. I think I've mostly settled on doing slate tiles but would love to hear some other opinions from experieneced owners. I've had snakes before, but this is my first Bearded and I want to make sure he's getting the best care he can possibly get. Thanks!

Welcome to the site! How exciting, I bet you can't wait for your dragon to get here :)

Did you order Mushu or are you picking him up from a shop?

I user normal ceramic tiles in my tanks, but slate is a good choice too :)

Hey Brandon, thanks for the reply. I got him at a local reptile shop near me that only deals in snakes and lizards. Wasn't comfortable getting him at Petco or the like. I'll be picking him up.

I hear the tiles are the way to go to avoid impaction.

Tiles are great-- easy to clean - I put a thick shop paper towel under mine to catch watery urate- do not glue or grout the tile lay them in loose so you can pull them to clean- make sure you get a textured slated tile no smooth- ingot mine from home depot- looks like this

Just make sure if you go w/ tile to have it cut w/ a tile cutter- you don't want jagged edges and cut it to size of tank--- and get ceramic and nothing real course

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
