RedInAus, i feel that tile is more suitable and alike then playsand, purely because its solid, like the hard packed and clay baked soils, and because its safer.
when you try to mix clay, sands and soil to mimic the soils, its often hard, and too difficult to maintain humidity, and heat, as well as cleanliness within an enclosure. tile is ideal in a captive environment, its similar to the natural soils, its entirely clean and safe, and has the ability to be kept santitary. after all in a captive environment we should be trying to keep them safe, happy and healthy. not a center piece or something to look at.
to tell the truth, parts of their natural soils do hold calcium based sands, this helps keep the soil stiff (and crumble in your hand) although their is ALOT of other 'ingrediants' the calci sad you buy at the store, isnt the stuff anyway. keep in mind their isnt a vet in the wild to do surgery on them, when they suffer impaction, they die.

Sorry mate, I'm not arguing rather just a bit confused. How can tiles be more natural for them than the outback sand that we can get in Australia?
I'm not trying to argue the positives of sand VS tiles, i just simply use "Australian sand" instead of tiles.
