Looking to change things up

I just recently watched reptiliatus's video where he used the exo-terra stone desert substrate and made a background with it for some small geckos. I have a bearded dragon with a self made foam background that im just tired of and its super loud has anyone used this substrate and have any tips on finding it and using it? I also want to make his tank bio active but I'm just a little worried that hes going to eat all the bugs I put in there and he might get some of the substrate in his mouth and since its clay based I dont know if that will cause some serious impaction ect if anyone has any info everything helps

I am no expert on bio active tanks --- have you watched the bio dude on you tube for bio active tanks? Look at that and see what you think - I can flag your post to another on the forum that might be able to help you w/ this as well

I don't have a bioactive enclosure, but there have been some good posts about how to go about it.

Well i went ahead and did it and I think its safe to say he loves it. I wanted to do a super natural style tank because thats what these animals deserve and do best in. Still trying to figure out a way to add the cleanup crew so they can run and hide from him before he catches them though..
