Most Recommended Bedding/Substrate

[BeardieMa]

I am about to get a new tank (somewhat soon) and I am currently using the carpet in my tank, it does ok.

I'm curious what bedding/substrate you beardie lovers most recommend?

There are several options. I prefer a solid substrate because it's easy to clean and sanitize. I use ceramic tile. I've found it can be a bit rough on the feet on it's own after a while so I have fleece blanket down over half of it to make it a bit softer. The fleece is easy to throw in the washer to clean as needed. A lot of folks use non adhesive shelf liner which is also easy to clean/sanitize and can be thrown away and replaced easily if needed.

That shelf liner sounds like a pretty good idea. I'll have to remember the blanket idea, if the other doesn't work.

Another advantage of the shelf liner is you can choose from a wide variety of patterns to add some variation to the tank.

True true, I can make the tank look all cute and whatnot lol.

I use a bioactive soil mix, I really prefer a naturalistic setup.

Before that I used a mix of shelf liner and paving stones for the floor.

Did your beardie seem to like the paving stones? Seems kinda rough.
