I have had my bearded dragon since August, and he is THRIVING! I love him so much! So I was asking in a Facebook group about something unrelated and it came up that my beardie is on tiles. I use slate tiles for his flooring. I LOVE them! I spot clean as needed, they retain just the right bit of warmth, trim his nails, and I know they will last a long time. But someone said that they can cause joint issues? I don`t have a picture of his enclosure, but along with tile as flooring he also has a hammock he is in a lot, climbing branches, a rock pile (which he LOVES running through for some reason - the rocks are obviously big enough that he can`t eat them), and a small planter with some edible plants in it. He doesn`t spend much time actually ON the floor. But I also did not find anything to support that tiles cause joint issues online when I was looking.
Is there any validity to this?
