I do not recommend sand at all !!!!!!!!!! It harbors bacteria and can cause impaction in dragons especially babies --- I would get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner or some slated ceramic tile - they are both cheap and easy to clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50-- insects cannot get underneath -- you can get both from your local home improvement store the tile would need to be cut by a tile cutter and measure the inside on the tank -- I tiled my 120 gallon tank for $13 -- it is layed in there loose so its easy to clean -- you can pull the tile - I have a thick blue shop paper towel I have under the tile for the watery urate -- simple to clean

My husband's a contractor so he actually knows how to do that stuff and thank you so much for the information.
