OK I know that everybody has their own idea about substrates.
Has any body tried this?
Sand on the floor with large pieces of Slate on it stacked 2 or 3 high. I am thinking about trying it in the new cage that I have almost finished. The slate will cover about 1/2 of the floor space and will be under the heat lamp. It will also have a heat cord running under it so it should heat up quite nicely. It is only thin so it will be easy to remove for cleaning and if will add to the natural look that I realy like, The slate will be laired 3 of 4 high so that it looks like a real rock shelf.
As an added bonus If the Lizards (Jacky Dragons) eat while on the slate the won't end up with a mouth full of sand.
