Moving from Sand to a non particle substrate.

Hey everyone I have a short query. I haved moved Vicco off sand and onto a smoother, cleaner surface (this article confirmed it for me).

Now I don't fancy using paper etc, and was looking at the non-adhesive shelf liner. Is it slightly padded/foamy, or is it just smooth and easy to wipe down like lino? I have never seen any in shops and cannot tell from the internet.

I am only asking because the bottom of Vicco's tank is laminate wood which is smooth and easy to wipe down meaning there is no point in me putting shelf liner down. I do worry about his comfort though, on the hard wood.



Vicco also seems to enjoy digging in the sand when he had it, I was thinking about making him a sandbox in the cool part of his tank, could be cool, and much easier to clean/manage than when it was his whole tank. Also would make a nice comfy area in his favourite sleeping spot. Any thoughts on this anyone?

I like your idea of a sand box for your dragon. I would think that instead of sand you could use millet. I use it as the substrait for my guy. He can burrow in it and move it around as he wants. Plus it won't cause him to get impacted, the millet just moves through. I use the uncrushed and it works great when you need to clean up... just scoop out the waste.
