Substrate.?

[acidburn01]

I've just been looking around at pet stores and websites and just doing some general reading and have found conflicting info. What would be a good substrate.? Toothless had the repticarpet, which wasn't bad, only crickets would get up under it because it was rolled and wouldn't ever completely flatten out. Also, would a running water source be better.? He also wouldn't ever drink water and google said they don't recognize standing water as something that will quench them.

None adhesive shelf liner or textured tile make good substrate.
I tried running water with my first beardie. She looked at it for all of 20 seconds and never showed any interest again.

Do you happen to have a link to the shelf liner you like.?

Also, what about misting.? Is that an okay thing to do once a day or not.?

I use tile in mine, but you can get the shelf liner at lowes or home depot. Also at the grocery store. The last i bought was on the big rolls like carpet and he cut it to the size i needed. You can mist, but i was always afraid i would get it in their ears and nose so I've always used an eye dropper and i feed hornworms along with it. (Hornworms are great for hydration but they will get addicted to them and refuse other feeders)

Running water in a tank will raise humidity levels they are not recommended
