I know it's not wise whatsoever to have substrate at all because of possible consumption. But I feed my beardie outside of her cage so would it be okay to put something in? Cause I hate looking at nothing but paper towels. It's so ugly. Could I put in medium sized rocks by chance? Sizeable enough to not be consumed.

If you mean a bunch of pebbles or aquarium rocks, I wouldn't.

You can always use repti-carpet (zilla makes a "terrarium liner" that's great, and comes in green or brown),
ceramic flooring tiles (get them as rough as you can, they tend to be a bit slippery to walk on with beardie claws),
natural stone/slate tiles (these are great and they file down the beardie's nails naturally),
non-sticky shelf liner, even linolium flooring.

Thanks! The natural stone idea is what I'm going to go with.

If your going with tiles that's good. Heads up make sure no gaps tail and toes get stuck. You can ghout notice members do that. Non adhesive liner works great and use a sand color looks great to me. Just a fix and a heads up lol. Remember reading a beardie getting tail stuck in gapof tile and lost over a inch of tip of tail. Still remember it take care
