I’ve seen a bunch of stuff about not using sand I was just wondering if I should switch to tiles. Snog my bearded dragon is about 8 months old and I use sand but she never eats it or anything other than the occasional lick. Snog loves to dig around too I was just wondering if there’s any real concern I should have for using sand especially because snog doesn’t eat it.
I would switch to something solid. Tile or maybe non adhesive shelf liner. The sand is a pain to clean and it's very tough to keep sanitary vs a solid substrate that is easy to sanitize and clean. Tile can be quite hard. I use tile and wound up putting fleece down over half to provide some relief to the hands and feet. That will vary though.
Yeah, IMO It really really isn't worth the risk at all. Here's one of my older posts That states most of the facts why NOT to use sand or most particle substrates: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=243890&hilit=sand#p1857889
