Is it worth it in the end???

[MoCkIn U]

I am setting up a new living area for our new beardie and when I got the tile back they gave me the waste too which gave me a neat idea to attach that to the end of one of my existing tiles and have a sand area in this 50gal tank. What are thought? Worth it to keep the sand in there for our new guy? The image on top is how it sits now with a nice textured ceramic tile and the image below that is the proposed idea where sand would be on the right.

Thoughts????

Great idea in concept....but if you're wanting to keep it clean, it'll get all over from digging. Trust me on this one! LOL!

I've always used a rubbermaid tub about 5 inches deep for sand and it still gets all over everything. Here's what it looked like when I used it for my female.

I've done that in the past with previous dragons. I loved the idea but in that area I did what Craig did and kept a bin of the substrate so I could take it out easier and clean it when needed or take it out when feeding.

Same here, Foster used to love to dig, so I got a rubbermaid container and put sand in it and kept it in there, and it kept it from getting all over the place.

Ha...in that first pic of Sam it totally looks like she just went to the bathroom when it was right after I'd just taken her out of a bath. Hadn't noticed that before. LOL!

Yeah I was thinking of doing that too, is BeeGee still too young for this? I'm not feeding him in it but I just wanted a small part partitioned off like Craig.

I wouldn't think so. He looks big enough to me.

Awesome I think he'll like it considering how he likes to dig at night and such
