Just the 2 Western Dwarf Beardies in there atm, but expecting my 6 eggs to hatch in Dec!  Once they've hatched i've got a separate, smaller, aquarium-type viv ready for them, then once they're big enough they'll go in with these 2.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Perth, WA Age/Gender: 18 | | | | Oh wow, cool. I've never considered that. Had my beardies on red desert sand for the past 2 years without incident, altho will definitely put my hatchies on repti-carpet or something.
Fair enuf tho, each to their own, im willing to risk it, but maybe ive just been luckier than others.

yes in the wild they sometimes live in sandy areas but not 100% of the time, i live in singleton and we dont have a hole lot of sandy areas around here but we do have a stack of dragons,they are everywhere here, i like to mix it up a bit for them with sand, fake grass, newspaper and branches for climbing on ,and mine do tend to spend time on all different areas
but as was said each to their own
