Glass tiles

[popsickle18]

I have recently acquired some absolutely beautiful hand painted tiles. They are glass which is painted on one side and then coated on that same side to lock in all the paint, so they are perfectly safe.

The thing I am wondering is if I can use them in Kenny's enclosure. Like I said, they are glass tiles. They have no texture. I don't want the tiles to get to hot and burn Kenny. Has anyone used glass tiles here? Perhaps I can just put tile on half the cage on the side without the basking light. Thoughts anyone?

Thank you!!!

Sounds nice, pix? It shoudn't get too hot, but you can make that determination when you install the tiles. You'd could incorporate sand mat in the other side, to wear down Kenny's claws.

Thank you joea for the response! Here are some pictures. I just placed them on top of the sand for right now to see if he likes them. It turns that they do not get too hot after all. I wanted to put something underneath of his water and food dish so he couldn't get sand in his food. Kenny seems to be liking the new tiles!

Here is the whole tank!

Here is an above view.

Here is a close up. They are so pretty!

Here is Kenny already enjoying his new tiles.

Wow! Those are real classy looking. Lucky Kenny! He's a very handsome beardie too.
