    Re: Substrate Question

    I have tried lots of different stuff over the years and like using this on my sub adults and adult dragons.

    Unlike alphalpa, it doesnt have that smell, it is very absorbant and cannot cause impaction, it falls apart when in gets wet. I dont give my dragons water on this bedding because if it gets wet for a while it can mold. Great for spot cleaning though.

    I also have outside enclosures with carpet on screen bottoms and that where they soaked and hydrated.

    Re: Substrate Question

    never heard of that stuff and still unsure as to what its made out of hehe.

    but i also use the R-zilla walnut shell bedding. Good stuff, I like it for my beardies. Unsure about alfalfa pellets since I've never used em. so i guess its just by whatever you want to choose. are you looking for heat conductor or something more natural?

    VERY VERY TRUE. The back of the bag is very misleading. It has a chart and says that it is great for dragons. I would never use that stuff for anything. So many people use it.
