What substrate is better for bearded dragons?

The best substrate for your bearded dragon depends on your experience as a keeper and your dragon. Some keepers recommend clay-sand substrate to mimic their natural environment. Others recommend non-particle substrates like paper and liners for keepers with safety concerns about accidental swallowing or if they have younger bearded dragons.

What type of bedding should I use for my bearded dragon?

Reptile keepers recommend solid bedding for younger or smaller bearded dragons since they might accidentally injure themselves or swallow something, which can lead to impaction. Others prefer loose or natural substrates for enrichment since bearded dragons like to dig and burrow.

How deep should the substrate be for a bearded dragon?

The depth of your bearded dragon substrate depends on the size of your tank and the material of your substrate. If you're using a loose substrate, you need to create a layer that's at least 4–6 inches deep throughout the tank.
