type of sand

[zeecee]

what kind of sand can be used for the bottom of the tank?for my beardie please if anyone can help

I wouldn't recommend sand if you have a young beardie. They tend to ingest it which causes impaction. Sand also is a lot harder to keep clean and bacteria-free. I would suggest getting some slate tiles or using indoor/outdoor carpet (without loops). Those are all money saving as well.

The answer to your question: Washed and sifted children's play sand.

Some advice: Don't use it. Any particulate substrate has a very high chance of causing impaction in your beardie, especially in juvenile beardies. You should consider using tiles, reptile carpet, non-adhesive shelf liner, paper towels, unprinted newspaper, anything but sand....
