Im just asking general questions and tell me which one would be best and if so why.

1. Ceramic or natural tile?
2. Grout or no grout? (What is the significance of the grout?)
3. Should i glue them together and make one piece or leave them separate?
4. Whats the point of putting towel underneath it?
5. Is the clean up hard? Would it be easier as one piece or many sheets of tile?
6. Do the dragons get good enough traction to move around easily?

If you have any other tips or opinions i would really appreciate them, thanks

Ceramic or natural tile is a personal preference, something you can decide for yourself. I wouldn't recommend you use grout, that way you can take the tiles out to clean them every month or so. I would leave them separate, it will make them easier to pull out for cleaning. Putting towel beneath the tile will prevent the tile from scratching the glass, and dragons can move around perfectly fine, and it keeps their nails short so you don't have to trim them yourself :wink:

1. Ceramic or natural tile? This is your choice. I use slate tiles.
2. Grout or no grout? (What is the significance of the grout?) If you want it permanent use 100% silicone it will repel water/waste from your beardie.
3. Should i glue them together and make one piece or leave them separate? Depends, I silocnend my tiles in 1 by 1.
4. Whats the point of putting towel underneath it? I don't do this. Maybe if you don't have them permanent it will be easier the clean up the stuff that falls threw.
5. Is the clean up hard? Would it be easier as one piece or many sheets of tile? My clean up isn't to hard. I just pick up the poo daily and wash it with white vinegar and water solution. Then rinse it with wet paper towels let it dry and shop vac anything I missed.
6. Do the dragons get good enough traction to move around easily? On slate mine do.

If you have any other tips or opinions i would really appreciate them, thanks

That's just what I do hope this helps!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
