Hey there, New hear and getting a beardie in a week and a ha

[Dave94]

Not very good at introductions so I'll try and make it as good as i can My names David, I live in Australia and I turn 14 on the 13th of may and am getting a bearded dragon as a present, I currently have a tank food bowls water bowls climbing rocks etc, just waiting on my lights and have made my deposit on a bearded dragon I picked from a Breeder. I just need to wait for my reptile licence to be mailed to me I've decided to name him Mojo he is a few months old and is a good eater, I sat there watching for about 15minutes and he ate like 60crickets+! the only problem though is I thought it was fishy why he had them on sand and let them hunt the crickets themself leaving them in the cage :evil: he says that none of his have ever swallowed the sand and got inpacted so I hope my little guy will be ok

Hi and welcome to the board Mojo is a great name. Most people on here do not recommend sand due to the possible impaction issues buit it can be ok for older dragons who are good hunters. I personally would never use it - I use textured ceramic tile. You could also use non-adhesive shelf liner or paper towel. If you keep the sand, make sure it is not calcisand - use children's sifted play sand
