the whole reason i wouldnt use sand in dragons.

does the same go with Blue Tongues???

I would put a blue tongue on pine bark cause they love to dig and hide themselves in it. I use a mixture of the large and small pinebark and it's been great.

Excellent I will get that then... up until 1/2hr ago I was using lucerne pellets but have newspaper in their atm until I get to the produce, which I should go soon before it shuts

 

[KaaTom]

Or can I get some from the Nursery???

honestly, it all boils down to presonal preference. i will not use sand on any of my reptiles as i feel it has to much risk envolved. even though it looks nice, i wont risk it.
i have always used breeders choice cat litter, have done for years. in the past.....going back 5 or 6 years ago, i have used bark with blue tongues and beardies and never once had a problem. it looked great, i just found it hard to find there poos. i am very anal and take out all poos as i see them. and bark was hard to see them.
i am not bothered too much about how "pretty" there enclosures all look as they are in a locked room were i dont allow people in. but, i think breeders choice still looks quite neat and tidy.
anywho thats enough outta me.
enjoy

I'm over the Bunnings play sand. No matter how quickly I get my Beardies business out of the enclosure it still smells.

The sand is absorbing too much I think, clumps also. I think it will be gone by the end of the weekend and replaced with some of that fake "low mowed" looking instant turf from Bunnings.
