The dragon doesn't care how much stuff is in there they like it where they can move around thank you Why do you say the sand will kill them in a couple of years?
As I said in another post the sand will build up in their stomach causing a impaction and killing them. If you have noticed dragons taste everything and in doing so will take in a lot of sand. They can't digest or pass sand so it will stick to their insides, build up and they will die. Please, use paper towel or reptile carpet.

Those are not the only safe substrates either. For example, I have slate tile in my enclosure.

I'm sorry but you were being obvious about supporting any kind of sand in this thread or your other. No pun intended.

It took me forever to make up my mind to switch now I'm thinking of going back to tile. Cause I don't put my dragon in a different container to eat. I have watch them eat never seen them get any sand with the bugs. They get 30min soaking 2times a week

I've used sand before and I regretted it. Replacing it is a hassle since you have to scoop out everything, and it starts to stink after a while. Plus, like the others said, it's not worth risking the possibility of impaction.
Use a dark tile to make it look more "natural" if you want. I've got a really nice marbled brown tile for my BD and it looks really great with his rocks and branches. Plus, the clean up is incredibly easy. I rarely have to do a full cage clean up since he's potty trained, but just in general with tile, there's rarely ever any mess. Wipe it down daily, weekly, or monthly with a bleach water solution and bam- clean tank!
