[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2045071, member: 118921"] The UVB coil is the most problematic one - this must be exchanged with a tube fixture. The UVA one might be okay but is not of the recommended brands. I would exchange it also. Regarding the sand: This looks very powdery to me, like sand you can let run through your fingers. Not good because of ingestion, also it can get in their nose, and walking on loose sand can cause problems with the joints. I'd also recommend what KarrieRee wrote regarding this. I do keep my dragon on sand (IMHO fine especially once they are larger), but the sand in my dragon's enclosure is not fine and powdery but forms a solid surface like you would see it on a hiking trail. Once you use sand, I'd recommend playsand mixed with organic soil (no fertilizers, no styrofoam balls in the soil) and burrowing clay (Zoo Med Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate). (I can use natural sand directly from the desert but this is a situation in which you might not be, and the above will be a very good replacement.) Spraying this lightly with water, it will form a solid surface when it's drying under the lamps. [/QUOTE]
