What type sand is in his tank

 

[Kate221]

Don't really think type matters, All of it can cause impaction. Best thing to do is take it out and use repticarpet, papertowels, newspapers, tile, or shelf liner to line the tank!! Good luck with your new beardie!!

 

[ray01]

Yeah thats true too.

Show your wife the pictures of tiled enclosures from the enclosure section. In my opinion sand is tacky in comparison. Or you can just tell her if it is play sand she has to be the one to wash it 1-2 times a month minimally 2-3 times to ensure it is sanitary.

You can use natural stone tile, repti carpet, non adhesive shelf liner, paper towels and or newspaper. :wink:
