Hi! So you use sand? I do too but I hear so many negatives

No! No sand as of now. When she is almost a year I am going to build her forever enclosure. Thats the enclosure I will add some sand but not the whole enclosure.

Using sand as that's what my beardie came from.....but I think I'm going to cover a lot of the floor in tiles for easy clean up and leave some sand.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy 2 baby beardies. Any suggestions on how to start? Any type of beardie better than another? Was looking to put both in a 40 gallon tank. Tank suggestions? Lighting? I've been reading up on the care and all the info for new parents...lol. But would love to hear from you guys.

You'll have to get 2 females. If you want babies its hard to identify their sex when they're little.

i have my beardie on excavator clay it kinda like what he'd be living on in the wild and he loves digging in it plus it's not like sand that causes impaction cause it's very compact
