Bearded Dragons are extremely hardy lizards, when they are provided
with the proper temperatures and lighting in their environment.
However, they are also pets who do their best to hide their
symptoms from us when they become ill, as do most other reptiles.
This is no doubt an instinctual behavior, since a sick Beardie, in
the wild, would probably not live for very long.

Since your Beardie can’t groan or complain about where it hurts,
you must use your observation skills to determine when something is
not right. There are times when a healthy Beardie will act
differently, but these changes should be seen for what they are by
the experienced veterinarian.

Bearded Dragons Substrates

The substrate (sometimes called flooring) is the material used to line your dragon’s housing. In their native environment, Beardies live in sandy desert areas. Playground sand is often used because it is relatively dust free and easy to maintain, although there have been reports of intestinal impaction. Substrates can also include wheat bran (pest free and rated for human consumption), outdoor carpeting, non-stick padded shelf liner, and paper towels. Other good substrates are newspaper, pea rock or aquarium gravel.
