New set up

I'm setting up some new hides.

 Over the next couple of months I will be setting up some new enclosures one will be designed just for the females to lay their eggs and the other will be general living.

 I have also set up a website based solely for Bearded Dragons where you can read and lean everything you need to know about your bearded dragon there is also a shop where you can get you bits and bobs at a low price its basically set up by a owner for owners.

Substrate

 There has been quite a few discussions on the substrate used for dragons as you can see from the picture below 

  The natural ground for dragons is a compacted clay/sand where it is solid enough to walk on but also stable enough to dig a burrow for hiding or laying their eggs in and as they are from Australia they are used to the heat.

  Sand is popular with dragon keepers but you must keep a very close eye on your dragons and the sand can get impaction and could do them great harm.

 Another substrate can be large bark pieces it also make a good one the large pieces if taken into the mouth will be spitted out (its true as I have observed it).

I would not recommend small chippings as these could get in the mouth and swallowed yet again causing harm to your reptile.
